Look up jpeglib.

If you want to have a look at how the GIMP does it, the file
you're looking for in the source tree is plug-ins/common/jpeg.c -
you cxan ignore all the plug-in stuff, and go straight to the
function "save_image" and it's children. Since GimpImages are
either grey, greya, rgb or rgba, you should find what you're
looking for there.

Cheers,
Dave.
