SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       tiffdump displays directory information from files created according to
13       the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0.  The header of each TIFF  file
14       (magic  number, version, and first directory offset) is displayed, fol‐
15       lowed by the tag contents of each directory in the file.  For each tag,
16       the  name,  data type, count, and value(s) is displayed.  When the sym‐
17       bolic name for a tag or data type is known, the symbolic name  is  dis‐
18       played  followed  by it's numeric (decimal) value.  Tag values are dis‐
19       played enclosed in ``<>'' characters immediately preceded by the  value
20       of  the count field.  For example, an ImageWidth tag might be displayed
21       as ``ImageWidth (256) SHORT (3) 1<800>''.
22
23       tiffdump is particularly useful for investigating the contents of  TIFF
24       files that libtiff does not understand.
