+// The purpose of the preview-image-extractor (piex) is to find and extract the
+// largest JPEG compressed preview image contained in a RAW file.
+// For details: go/piex
+//
+// Even for unsupported RAW files we want to provide high quality images using a
+// dedicated, small and portable library. That is possible by taking the preview
+// image contained in all RAW files.
+//
+// Typically a preview image is stored as JPEG compressed, full size (or at
+// least half size) image in a RAW file.
+//
+// A typical client code snippet:
+//
+// // In C++
+// PreviewImageData image_data;
+// unique_ptr<StreamInterface> data_stream(new DataStream(file));
+// Error err = GetPreviewImageData(data_stream.get(), &image_data));
+// if (err == Error::kFail) {
+// // The input data seems to be broken.
+// return;
+// } else if (err == Error::kUnsupported) {
+// // The input data is not supported.
+// return;
+// }
+//
+// // Uncompress the JPEG as usual, e.g. on Android with the BitmapFactory:
+// // In Java
+// Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(
+// file.at(image_data.jpeg_offset), image_data.jpeg_length);
