djpeg

decompresses image files from JPEG/JFIF format to either PPM (PBMPLUS color format), PGM (PBMPLUS gray-scale format), BMP, or Targa format

jpegtran

is used for lossless transformation of JPEG files

rdjpgcom

displays text comments from within a JPEG file

tjbench

is used to benchmark the performance of libjpeg-turbo

wrjpgcom

inserts text comments into a JPEG file

libjpeg.so

contains functions used for reading and writing JPEG images
