DESCRIPTION
Tiffdump
displays directory information from files created according
to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0.
The header of each
TIFF
file (magic number, version, and first directory offset)
is displayed, followed by the tag contents of each directory in the file.
For each tag, the name, datatype, count, and value(s) is displayed.
When the symbolic name for a tag or datatype is known, the symbolic
name is displayed followed by it's numeric (decimal) value.
Tag values are displayed enclosed in ``<>'' characters immediately
preceded by the value of the count field.
For example, an
ImageWidth
tag might be displayed as ``ImageWidth (256) SHORT (3) 1<800>''.
Tiffdump
is particularly useful for investigating the contents of
TIFF
files that
libtiff
does not understand.
