37.SH DESCRIPTION
38.I Tiffcmp
39compares the tags and data in two files created according
40to the Tagged Image File Format, Revision 6.0.
41The schemes used for compressing data in each file
42are immaterial when data are compared\-data are compared on
43a scanline-by-scanline basis after decompression.
44Most directory tags are checked; notable exceptions are:
45.IR GrayResponseCurve ,
46.IR ColorResponseCurve ,
47and
48.IR ColorMap
49tags.
50Data will not be compared if any of the
51.IR BitsPerSample ,
52.IR SamplesPerPixel ,
53or
54.I ImageWidth
55values are not equal.
56By default,
57.I tiffcmp
58will terminate if it encounters any difference.
