26 | .SH NAME | |
27 | TIFFFindCODEC, TIFFRegisterCODEC, TIFFUnRegisterCODEC, TIFFIsCODECConfigured | |
28 | \- codec-related utility routines | |
29 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
30 | .B "#include <tiffio.h>" | |
31 | .sp | |
32 | .BI "const TIFFCodec* TIFFFindCODEC(uint16 " scheme ");" | |
33 | .br | |
34 | .BI "TIFFCodec* TIFFRegisterCODEC(uint16 " scheme ", const char *" method ", TIFFInitMethod " init ");" | |

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