An image plugin should contain a format handler derived from the
:py:class:`PIL.ImageFile.ImageFile` base class. This class should
provide an ``_open`` method, which reads the file header and
sets up at least the :py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.mode` and
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.size` attributes. To be able to load the
file, the method must also create a list of ``tile`` descriptors,
which contain a decoder name, extents of the tile, and
any decoder-specific data. The format handler class must be explicitly
registered, via a call to the :py:mod:`~PIL.Image` module.

The format handler must always set the
:py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.size` and :py:attr:`~PIL.Image.Image.mode`
attributes. If these are not set, the file cannot be opened. To
simplify the plugin, the calling code considers exceptions like
:py:exc:`SyntaxError`, :py:exc:`KeyError`, :py:exc:`IndexError`,
:py:exc:`EOFError` and :py:exc:`struct.error` as a failure to identify
