This may be something that is outside the scope of scripting, but I really need to gather the unique layer IDs from a PSD file, without opening it in photoshop. I have seen information on C++ parsing libraries, but my coding is quite weak.

Ideally I would be able to gather each of the layer names and its respective unique layer ID, in order for the info to be used within a script for After Effects, written using Extendscript (.jsx).

Even the most basic of pointers would be appreciated, and thanks for your time
