<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<I>tiffdump</I>
displays directory information from files created according
to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0.
The header of each
<FONT SIZE="-1">TIFF</FONT>
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, datatype, count, and value(s) is displayed.
When the symbolic name for a tag or datatype is known, the symbolic
name is displayed followed by it's numeric (decimal) value.
Tag values are displayed enclosed in ``&lt;&gt;'' 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&lt;800&gt;''.
<P>
<I>tiffdump</I>
is particularly useful for investigating the contents of
<FONT SIZE="-1">TIFF</FONT>
files that
<I>libtiff</I>
does not understand.
