Generate ckformat.c, a utility program for reading the image file format number from an image file. The ckformat program is intended for testing image file format from a unix shell script such that the shell script can select a VM based on image requirements. A non-zero return status code from ckformat indicates failure, otherwise the format number is written to standard output with no line terminator. The utility handles big-endian and little-endian versions of all known 32 and 64 bit image formats.
The ckformat C code is generated from ImageFormat to ensure that it is updated as new format numbers are assigned and documented in class ImageFormat.
