Hello Aman.

Writing a ppm is always going to be easier than reading ;)

You need to write your own provider.
I suggest to take an existing one, copy it and adapt it, e.g. gif. So 
you'd extend Makefile.am, copy the idirectfbimageprovider_gif.c to 
..._ppm.c for instance, and replace the content with your own.

Documentation for IDirectFBImageProvider 
<http://www.directfb.org/docs/DirectFB_Reference_1_3/IDirectFBImageProvider.html>
 
is on the website of DirectFB, check 
http://www.directfb.org/docs/DirectFB_Reference_1_3/index.html for 
instance. Note that you will provide a Constructor too, and I think you 
can omit WriteBack without repercussions; but the code should be clear too.
