26.TH TIFFReadEncodedStrip 3TIFF "October 15, 1995" "libtiff"
27.SH NAME
28TIFFReadEncodedStrip \- read and decode a strip of data from an open
29.SM TIFF
30file
31.SH SYNOPSIS
32.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
33.sp
34.BI "tsize_t TIFFReadEncodedStrip(TIFF *" tif ", tstrip_t " strip ", tdata_t " buf ", tsize_t " size ")"
35.SH DESCRIPTION
36Read the specified strip of data and place up to
37.I size
38bytes of decompressed information in the (user supplied) data buffer.
39.SH NOTES
40The value of
41.I strip
42is a ``raw strip number.''
43That is, the caller must take into account whether or not the data are
44organized in separate planes (\c
45.IR PlanarConfiguration =2).
46To read a full strip of data the data buffer should typically be at least as
47large as the number returned by
48.BR TIFFStripSize (3TIFF).
49If the -1 passed in
50.I size
51parameter, the whole strip will be read. You should be sure you have enough
52space allocated for the buffer.
53.PP
54The library attempts to hide bit- and byte-ordering differences between the
55image and the native machine by converting data to the native machine order.
56Bit reversal is done if the
57.I FillOrder
58tag is opposite to the native machine bit order. 16- and 32-bit samples are
59automatically byte-swapped if the file was written with a byte order opposite
60to the native machine byte order,
61.SH "RETURN VALUES"
62The actual number of bytes of data that were placed in
63.I buf
64is returned;
65.IR TIFFReadEncodedStrip
66returns \-1 if an error was encountered.
67.SH DIAGNOSTICS
68All error messages are directed to the
69.BR TIFFError (3TIFF)
70routine.
