This functionality is particularly useful because not all FILE* pointers were created from fopen to point to files on the hard drive. Some could be created by routines such as
tmpfile(3)oropen_memstream(3)and currently FLIF has no way of decoding them without buffering them into memory and using flif_decoder_decode_memory. This adds flif_decoder_decode_filepointer to the exported API. The caller still needs to pass a filename, but the filename can be any non-NULL string, because it's only used for the decoder to print error messages. A rich reader can give it a real name or a dummy name like "FilePointer."
