.SH NAME

TIFFReadRawStrip \- return the undecoded contents of a strip of data from an

open

.SM TIFF

file

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B "#include <tiffio.h>"</tiffio.h>

.sp

.BI "tsize_t TIFFReadRawStrip(TIFF *" tif ", tstrip_t " strip ", tdata_t " buf ", tsize_t " size ")"

.SH DESCRIPTION

Read the contents of the specified strip into the (user supplied) data buffer.

Note that the value of

.I strip

is a ``raw strip number.'' That is, the caller must take into account whether

or not the data is organized in separate planes (\c

.IR PlanarConfiguration =2).

To read a full strip of data the data buffer should typically be at least as

large as the number returned by

.IR TIFFStripSize .

.SH "RETURN VALUES"

The actual number of bytes of data that were placed in

.I buf

is returned;

.IR TIFFReadEncodedStrip

returns \-1 if an error was encountered.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS

All error messages are directed to the

.BR TIFFError (3TIFF)

routine.
