26.TH CODEC 3TIFF "October 29, 2004" "libtiff"
27.SH NAME
28TIFFFindCODEC, TIFFRegisterCODEC, TIFFUnRegisterCODEC, TIFFIsCODECConfigured
29\- codec-related utility routines
30.SH SYNOPSIS
31.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
32.sp
33.BI "const TIFFCodec* TIFFFindCODEC(uint16 " scheme ");"
34.br
35.BI "TIFFCodec* TIFFRegisterCODEC(uint16 " scheme ", const char *" method ", TIFFInitMethod " init ");"
36.br
37.BI "void TIFFUnRegisterCODEC(TIFFCodec *" codec ");"

39.BI "int TIFFIsCODECConfigured(uint16 " scheme ");"
40.SH DESCRIPTION
41.I libtiff
42supports a variety of compression schemes implemented by software
43.IR codecs .
44Each codec adheres to a modular interface that provides for
45the decoding and encoding of image data; as well as some other
46methods for initialization, setup, cleanup, and the control
47of default strip and tile sizes.
48Codecs are identified by the associated value of the
49.SM TIFF
50.I Compression
51tag; e.g. 5 for
52.SM LZW
53compression.
54.PP
55The
56.I TIFFRegisterCODEC
57routine can be used to
58augment or override the set of codecs available to an application.
59If the specified
60.I scheme
61already has a registered codec then it is
62.I overridden
63and any images with data encoded with this
64compression scheme will be decoded using the supplied coded.
65.PP
66.I TIFFIsCODECConfigured
67returns 1 if the codec is configured and working. Otherwise 0 will be returned.
68.SH DIAGNOSTICS
69.BR "No space to register compression scheme %s" .
70.I TIFFRegisterCODEC
71was unable to allocate memory for the data structures needed
72to register a codec.
73.PP
74.BR "Cannot remove compression scheme %s; not registered" .
75.I TIFFUnRegisterCODEC
76did not locate the specified codec in the table of registered
77compression schemes.
