NAME
        tiffdump - print verbatim information about TIFF files
 
SYNOPSIS
        tiffdump [ options ] name ...
 
DESCRIPTION
        tiffdump displays directory information from files created
        according to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0.  The
        header of each TIFF file (magic number, version, and first
        directory offset) is displayed, followed by the  tag  con­
        tents  of  each  directory in the file.  For each tag, the
        name, datatype, count, and value(s)  is  displayed.   When
        the symbolic name for a tag or datatype is known, the sym­
        bolic name is displayed followed by it's numeric (decimal)
        value.   Tag values are displayed enclosed in ``<>'' char­
        acters 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 con­
        tents of TIFF files that libtiff does not understand.
 
OPTIONS
        -h     Force  numeric  data  to  be printed in hexadecimal
               rather than the default decimal.
 
        -o     Dump the contents of the IFD at  the  a  particular
               file  offset.   The  file  offset  may be specified
               using the usual  C-style  syntax;  i.e.  a  leading
               ``0x''  for  hexadecimal  and  a  leading ``0'' for
               octal.
