The bitmap storage format is documented in the bitmap(1) manual page.

You want to start with a look at XReadBitmapFile(), as defined in
Xlib/XReadBitmapF.c.  If you plan on using larger bitmaps (like a
full-screen background), you probably want to change the line

    while ((status = fscanf (file, "#define %80s %2d\n", variable, &value))==2)

to

    while ((status = fscanf (file, "#define %80s %d\n", variable, &value))==2)
