SYNOPSIS

11       int TIFFFieldReadCount(const TIFFField* fip)

DESCRIPTION

14       TIFFFieldReadCount  returns  the  number of values available to be read
15       from the specified TIFF field; that is, the number  of  arguments  that
16       should  be  supplied  to  TIFFGetField.  For most field types this is a
17       small positive integer, typically 1 or 2, but there  are  some  special
18       values:
19       TIFF_VARIABLE  indicates  that a variable number of values is possible;
20       then, a uint16 count argument and a pointer data argument must be  sup‐
21       plied to TIFFGetField.
22       TIFF_VARIABLE2 is the same as TIFF_VARIABLE except that the count argu‐
23       ment must have type uint32.
24       TIFF_SPP indicates that the number of arguments is equal to the image's
25       number of samples per pixel.
26
27       fip  is  a  field  information pointer previously returned by TIFFFind‐
28       Field, TIFFFieldWithTag, or TIFFFieldWithName.
