31 | .BI "int TIFFFieldReadCount(const TIFFField* " fip ")" | |
32 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
33 | .BR TIFFFieldReadCount | |
34 | returns the number of values available to be read from the specified | |
35 | TIFF field; that is, the number of arguments that should be supplied to | |
36 | .BR TIFFGetField . | |
37 | For most field types this is a small positive integer, typically 1 or 2, | |
38 | but there are some special values: | |
39 | .br | |
40 | .BR TIFF_VARIABLE | |
41 | indicates that a variable number of values is possible; then, a | |
42 | .BR uint16 | |
43 | .I count | |
44 | argument and a pointer | |
45 | .I data | |
46 | argument must be supplied to | |
47 | .BR TIFFGetField . | |
48 | .br | |
49 | .BR TIFF_VARIABLE2 | |
50 | is the same as | |
51 | .BR TIFF_VARIABLE | |
52 | except that the | |
53 | .I count | |
54 | argument must have type | |
55 | .BR uint32 . | |
56 | .br | |
57 | .BR TIFF_SPP | |
58 | indicates that the number of arguments is equal to the image's | |
59 | number of samples per pixel. | |
60 | .P | |
61 | .I fip | |
62 | is a field information pointer previously returned by | |
63 | .BR TIFFFindField , | |
64 | .BR TIFFFieldWithTag , | |
65 | or | |
66 | .BR TIFFFieldWithName . | |
67 | .br | |
