test/data/README.md

Unless otherwise noted, the \*.gz files were generated by the gzip command line
tool and the \*.deflate and \*.zlib versions were then generated by
script/extract-deflate-offsets.go. Similarly, the \*.giflzw files were
generated by script/extract-giflzw.go and the \*.palette and \*.indexes files
were generated by script/extract-palette-indexes.go

The \*.jpeg files are usually the canonical versions of the test/data images,
and other versions (\*.bmp, \*.gif, \*.png, \*.tiff) were generated by
ImageMagick's convert command line tool. The \*.webp versions were generated by
the cwebp command line tool.



The artificial directory holds artificially generated test data, often to
explicitly test corner cases of various file formats. The files there usually
come in families whose names have a common prefix, such as three files
"foo.bar", "foo.bar.qux", "foo.bar.commentary.txt" all prefixed by "foo.bar".
The file whose name is that prefix is usually the canonical (typically
hand-crafted) file, and the other files are then derived from that. Outside of
the artificial directory, the other files in this directory are typically real
world examples of various file formats, or deriviations of them.
