About the ColorSync Manager Programming Interface
The ColorSync Manager programming interface allows your application to handle such tasks as color matching, color conversion, profile management, profile searching and accessing, reading individual tagged elements within a profile, embedding profiles in documents, and modifying profiles. The ColorSync Manager includes a number of interface files that work for either 68020 or later or PowerPC development. For developing applications, you must include CMApplication.h. Some applications may also include the CMICCProfile.h file.

CMApplication.h

Interface to the ColorSync Manager functions and data types
for applications and device drivers.

CMICCProfile.h

Definitions for the version 2.x ICC profile for profile developers. This interface file contains enumerations and structures, such as the version 2.x profile header, that your application may want to use.
