<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
routines are used by the library to swap 16- and 32-bit data
and to reverse the order of bits in bytes.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>TIFFSwabShort</i>
and <i>TIFFSwabLong</i> swap the bytes in a single 16-bit
and 32-bit item, respectively. <i>TIFFSwabArrayOfShort</i>
and <i>TIFFSwabArrayOfLong</i> swap the bytes in an array of
16-bit and 32-bit items, respectively.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>TIFFReverseBits</i>
replaces each byte in <i>data</i> with the equivalent
bit-reversed value. This operation is performed with a
lookup table, which is returned using the
<i>TIFFGetBitRevTable</i> function. <i>reversed</i>
parameter specifies which table should be returned. Supply
<i>1</i> if you want bit reversal table. Supply <i>0</i> to
get the table that do not reverse bit values. It is a lookup
table that can be used as an <i>identity function</i>; i.e.
<i>TIFFNoBitRevTable[n] == n</i>.</p>
