Hi,
  I found out how to do it. I just had to read the documentation for void 
VSIInstallMemFileHandler.

  Subject: [gdal-dev] VSIFile from a string


  Hi,
    In reference to my previous post, one way I could solve my problem is to 
create a memory file from a c++ string which contains a Geotiff file.  Can 
anyone please tell how to create a memory file using a char array? How do I 
read from and write to memory files? Thanks.

    Subject: [gdal-dev] reading geotiff data from STDIN


    Hi,
      Is it possible to read geotiff data from standard input(STDIN) and write 
to standard output (STDOUT) instead of reading from a file? I see the following 
in the documentation to GDALOpen():

    pszFilename the name of the file to access. In the case of exotic drivers 
this may not refer to a physical file, but instead contain information for the 
driver on how to access a dataset.

    What options does Geotiff driver have for pszFilename? If I want to modify 
Geotiff driver to read and write from STDIN and STDOUT respectively, which 
files should I be looking at? 

    Ability to do this might be useful if using GDAL in a Hadoop MapReduce job 
with streaming. Geotiff format could be the serialization format that MapReduce 
expects. If it is not already there, it might be useful to add this feature. It 
could make it a bit easier to use GDAL within a Cloud environment.  Thanks.
