The BMP file format, sometimes called bitmap or DIB file format
(for device-independent bitmap), is an image file format used to store
bitmap digital images, especially on Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems.
Many graphical user interfaces use bitmaps in their built-in graphics subsystems,
for example, the Microsoft Windows and OS/2 platforms' GDI subsystem, where
the specific format used is the Windows and OS/2 bitmap file format, usually
named with the file extension of .BMP or .DIB.
