The GetColorProfileHeader function retrieves or derives ICC header structure from either ICC color profile or WCS XML profile.

Drivers and applications should assume returning TRUE only indicates that a properly structured header is returned. Each tag will still need to be validated independently using either legacy ICM2 APIs or XML schema APIs.

To determine whether the header is derived from an ICC or DMP profile handle, check the header signature (header bytes 36-39). If the signature is "acsp" (big endian) then an ICC profile was used. If the signature is "cdmp" (big-endian) then a DMP was used.

The distinguishing features that identify a header as having been "synthesized" for a WCS DMP are:

WindowsICMProfileHeaderMBS.Signature = 'pmdc' (little endian = big endian 'cdmp')
WindowsICMProfileHeaderMBS.CMMType = '1scw' (little endian = big endian 'wcs1').
