NAME
tiffdump - print verbatim information about
TIFF files
SYNOPSIS
tiffdump [ options ] name ...
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, data type, count, and value(s) is displayed. When the
symbolic name for a tag or data type 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.
