tiffdump − print verbatim information about

<small>TIFF</small> files

SYNOPSIS

       cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

tiffdump [ options ] name ...

DESCRIPTION

       cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

tiffdump displays directory information from files

created according to the Tag Image File Format, Revision

6.0. The header of each <small>TIFF</small> 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 <small>TIFF</small> files that

libtiff does not understand.
