# BMP header reader

A simple C program to read BMP files header

## How to use

Clone the repository. Build the project by `cd` into de `cmake-build-debug` folder and run `make`.

Execute the `bmp_reader` binary, passing as a argument a path to a BMP file. The content of the header will be printed in the standard output.

## How it works

Checkout the methods in `lib/bmp_reader_methods.c`. They're pretty much self explanatory.

Here you have a diagram of the structure the BMP file format:
