  61 <p><i>libtiff</i> supports a variety of compression schemes
  62 implemented by software <i>codecs</i>. Each codec adheres to
  63 a modular interface that provides for the decoding and
  64 encoding of image data; as well as some other methods for
  65 initialization, setup, cleanup, and the control of default
  66 strip and tile sizes. Codecs are identified by the
  67 associated value of the <small>TIFF</small>
  68 <i>Compression</i> tag; e.g. 5 for <small>LZW</small>
  69 compression.</p>
  70 <!-- INDENTATION -->
  71 <p>The <i>TIFFRegisterCODEC</i> routine can be used to
  72 augment or override the set of codecs available to an
  73 application. If the specified <i>scheme</i> already has a
  74 registered codec then it is <i>overridden</i> and any images
  75 with data encoded with this compression scheme will be
  76 decoded using the supplied coded.</p>
  77 <!-- INDENTATION -->
  78 <p><i>TIFFIsCODECConfigured</i> returns 1 if the codec is
  79 configured and working. Otherwise 0 will be returned.</p>
