NAME

6       TIFFGetBitRevTable, TIFFReverseBits, TIFFSwabShort, TIFFSwabLong, TIFF‐
7       SwabArrayOfShort, TIFFSwabArrayOfLong - byte- and bit-swapping routines

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <tiffio.h>
11
12       const unsigned char* TIFFGetBitRevTable(int reversed)
13       void TIFFReverseBits(u_char *data, unsigned long nbytes)
14       void TIFFSwabShort(uint16 *data)
15       void TIFFSwabLong(uint32 *data)
16       void TIFFSwabArrayOfShort(uint16 *data, unsigned long nshorts)
17       void TIFFSwabArrayOfLong(uint32 *data, unsigned long nlongs)

DESCRIPTION

20       The following routines are used by the library to swap 16-  and  32-bit
21       data and to reverse the order of bits in bytes.
22
23       TIFFSwabShort  and  TIFFSwabLong  swap the bytes in a single 16-bit and
24       32-bit item, respectively.  TIFFSwabArrayOfShort  and  TIFFSwabArrayOf‐
25       Long  swap  the  bytes  in an array of 16-bit and 32-bit items, respec‐
26       tively.
27
28       TIFFReverseBits replaces each byte in data  with  the  equivalent  bit-
29       reversed  value. This operation is performed with a lookup table, which
30       is returned using the TIFFGetBitRevTable function.  reversed  parameter
31       specifies  which  table  should  be  returned. Supply 1 if you want bit
32       reversal table. Supply 0 to get the table that do not reverse bit  val‐
33       ues.  It  is  a  lookup table that can be used as an identity function;
34       i.e.  TIFFNoBitRevTable[n] == n.
