[MagickCore] about files/streams

Hello,

I'm new to this list, a GNU/Linux user, and I've been
using ImageMagick through MagickCore's set of
functions for a few days.

I've noticed ImageMagick seems to support at least the
most used protocols when handling files and streams,
such as relative or full paths, either "file:///" or
UNIX-like ones, urls, etc., so I don't have to code
this by myself, which is really nice.

Then, I'm using it for retreiving a set of images
referenced on a xml file, and was wondering whether
there's some way I can know which kind of path is
ImageMagick processing, so if it's an external one I
might need to store this file/s and even implement a
threading model so it doesn't block my appl's
execution, and if it's not I can just access it when I
need it with no problems. I'm displaying them
afterwards on demand within a xwindow server via xlib,
I might add. 

I've been inspecting the source with cscope but
haven't found anything to this regard, such like a
dedicated enum or something.

Could somebody tell me something about?

I also wanted to ask if it's possible to find m4
macros  for detecting ImageMagick on the host as I'm
using autotools; or at least to point me to some
off-site project which might depend on ImageMagick.
 
Kind Regards,
