24.TH TIFFFieldWriteCount 3TIFF "July 26, 2012" "libtiff"
25.SH NAME
26TIFFFieldWriteCount \- Get number of values to be written to field
27.SH SYNOPSIS
28.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
29.sp
30.BI "int TIFFFieldWriteCount(const TIFFField* " fip ")"
31.SH DESCRIPTION
32.BR TIFFFieldWriteCount
33returns the number of values to be written into the specified
34TIFF field; that is, the number of arguments that should be supplied to
35.BR TIFFSetField .
36For most field types this is a small positive integer, typically 1 or 2,
37but there are some special values:
38.br
39.BR TIFF_VARIABLE
40indicates that a variable number of values is possible; then, a
41.BR uint16
42.I count
43argument and a pointer
44.I data
45argument must be supplied to
46.BR TIFFSetField .
47.br
48.BR TIFF_VARIABLE2
49is the same as
50.BR TIFF_VARIABLE
51except that the
52.I count
53argument must have type
54.BR uint32 .
55(On most modern machines, this makes no practical difference, and the
56.I count
57argument can simply be an
58.BR int
59in either case.)
60.br
61.BR TIFF_SPP
62indicates that the number of arguments must be equal to the image's
63number of samples per pixel.
64.P
65.I fip
66is a field information pointer previously returned by
67.BR TIFFFindField ,
68.BR TIFFFieldWithTag ,
69or
70.BR TIFFFieldWithName .
71.P
72For most field types,
73.BR TIFFFieldWriteCount
74returns the same value as
75.BR TIFFFieldReadCount ,
76but there are some exceptions.
77.br
78.SH "RETURN VALUES"
79.br
80.BR TIFFFieldWriteCount
81returns an integer.
