This is a good idea. My 2p would be for an API like:

const void *openslide_get_profile(openslide_t *osr, size_t *length);

meaning, return a pointer to the main image profile, and return the
profile length in the length pointer. The return pointer would be
valid as long as osr was valid. The caller would then be responsible
for allocating some private memory and taking a copy of the profile.

Similarly:

const void *openslide_read_associated_image_profile(openslide_t *osr,
const char *name, size_t *length);

To get the profile for an associated image.
