37 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
38 | .I tiffdump | |
39 | displays directory information from files created according | |
40 | to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0. | |
41 | The header of each | |
42 | .SM TIFF | |
43 | file (magic number, version, and first directory offset) | |
44 | is displayed, followed by the tag contents of each directory in the file. | |
45 | For each tag, the name, data type, count, and value(s) is displayed. | |
46 | When the symbolic name for a tag or data type is known, the symbolic | |
47 | name is displayed followed by it's numeric (decimal) value. | |
48 | Tag values are displayed enclosed in ``<>'' characters immediately | |
49 | preceded by the value of the count field. | |
50 | For example, an | |
51 | .I ImageWidth | |
52 | tag might be displayed as ``ImageWidth (256) SHORT (3) 1<800>''. | |
