.SH NAME
TIFFWarning, TIFFSetWarningHandler \- library warning interface
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
.br
.B "void TIFFWarning(const char* module, const char* fmt, ...)"
.sp .5
.B "#include <stdargh.h>"
.br
.B "typedef void (*TIFFWarningHandler)(const char* module, const char* fmt, va_list ap);"
.br
.B "TIFFWarningHandler TIFFSetWarningHandler(TIFFWarningHandler handler);"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I TIFFWarning
invokes the library-wide warning handler function
to (normally) write a warning message to the
.BR stderr .
The
.I fmt
parameter is a
.IR printf (3S)
format string, and any number arguments can be supplied.
The
.I module
parameter is interpreted as a string that, if non-zero,
should be printed before the message; it typically
is used to identify the software module in which a warning
is detected.
.PP
Applications that desire to capture control in the event of a warning
should use
.IR TIFFSetWarningHandler
to override the default warning handler.
A
.SM NULL
(0) warning handler function may be installed to
suppress error messages.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IR TIFFSetWarningHandler
returns a reference to the previous error handling function.
