[cairo] output png fully-formatted png image to STDOUT or memory location

[Pablo Romero]

Could someone please walk me through setting up a simple "cairo_write_func_t" function, that would print a png image to STDOUT and/or to a byte buffer in memory???
 
Im not a very strong C programmer.
Thanks,
P.Romero
