.SH DESCRIPTION
The following routines return status information about an open
.SM TIFF
file.
.PP
.IR TIFFCurrentDirectory
returns the index of the current directory (directories
are numbered starting at 0).
This number is suitable for use with the
.IR TIFFSetDirectory
routine.
.PP
.IR TIFFLastDirectory
returns a non-zero value if the current directory is the
last directory in the file;
otherwise zero is returned.
.PP
.IR TIFFCurrentRow ,
.IR TIFFCurrentStrip ,
and
.IR TIFFCurrentTile ,
return the current row, strip, and tile, respectively,
that is being read or written.
These values are updated each time a read or write is done.
.PP
.IR TIFFFileno
returns the underlying file descriptor used to access the 
.SM TIFF
image in the filesystem.
.PP
.IR TIFFFileName
returns the pathname argument passed to
.IR TIFFOpen
or
.IR TIFFFdOpen .
.PP
.IR TIFFGetMode
returns the mode with which the underlying file was opened.
On
.SM UNIX
systems, this is the value passed to the
.IR open (2)
system call.
.PP
.IR TIFFIsTiled
returns a non-zero value if the image data has
a tiled organization.
Zero is returned if the image data is organized in strips.
.PP
.IR TIFFIsByteSwapped
returns a non-zero value if the image data was in a different
byte-order than the host machine.
Zero is returned if the TIFF file and local host byte-orders
are the same.  Note that TIFFReadTile(), TIFFReadStrip() and
TIFFReadScanline() functions already normally perform byte
swapping to local host order if needed.
.PP
.I TIFFIsUpSampled
returns a non-zero value if image data returned through the
read interface routines is being up-sampled.
This can be useful to applications that want to calculate
I/O buffer sizes to reflect this usage (though the usual
strip and tile size routines already do this).
.PP
.I TIFFIsMSB2LSB
returns a non-zero value if the image data is being returned with
bit 0 as the most significant bit.
.PP
.IR TIFFGetVersion
returns an
.SM ASCII
string that has a version stamp for the 
.SM TIFF
library software.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
None.
