Detect if PNG file is corrupted in Objective C

Question

I\'m downloading jpgs and pngs using NSURLRequest. This works ok but sometimes the files are corrupted. I have seen Catching error: Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data

Nicer version of dataIsValidPNG:

BOOL dataIsValidPNG(NSData *data) {

    if (!data) {
        return NO;
    }

    const NSInteger totalBytes = data.length;
    const char *bytes = (const char *)[data bytes];
    const char start[] = { '\x89',  'P',  'N',  'G', '\r', '\n', '\x1a', '\n' };
    const char end[]   = {   '\0', '\0', '\0', '\0',  'I',  'E',    'N',  'D', '\xAE', 'B', '`', '\x82' };

    if (totalBytes < (sizeof(start) + sizeof(end))) {
        return NO;
    }

    return (memcmp(bytes, start, sizeof(start)) == 0) &&
           (memcmp(bytes + (totalBytes - sizeof(end)), end, sizeof(end)) == 0);
}
