<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>tiffdump</i>
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
<i>ImageWidth</i> tag might be displayed as
‘‘ImageWidth (256) SHORT (3)
1<800>’’.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>tiffdump</i>
is particularly useful for investigating the contents of
<small>TIFF</small> files that <i>libtiff</i> does not
understand.</p>
