read strings from an image file in C

Question

I'm trying to read only the strings from an image file. I was able to successfully read all the strings in the image file using java. I wrapped the inputstream into a filereaderstream which is again wrapped inside of a bufferereader. so now i can extract all the strings from the image file (like xmp tags and exif, tiff tags etc) ..

how do i accomplish the same thing using c.

Thanks

If you are using unix based OS, you can use the (unix, not C) command strings.
