+.SH NAME
+TIFFFieldWriteCount \- Get number of values to be written to field
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
+.sp
+.BI "int TIFFFieldWriteCount(const TIFFField* " fip ")"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR TIFFFieldWriteCount
+returns the number of values to be written into the specified
+TIFF field; that is, the number of arguments that should be supplied to
+.BR TIFFSetField .
+For most field types this is a small positive integer, typically 1 or 2,
+but there are some special values:
+.br
+.BR TIFF_VARIABLE
+indicates that a variable number of values is possible; then, a
+.BR uint16
+.I count
+argument and a pointer
+.I data
+argument must be supplied to
+.BR TIFFSetField .
+.br
+.BR TIFF_VARIABLE2
+is the same as
+.BR TIFF_VARIABLE
+except that the
+.I count
+argument must have type
+.BR uint32 .
+(On most modern machines, this makes no practical difference, and the
+.I count
+argument can simply be an
+.BR int
+in either case.)
+.br
+.BR TIFF_SPP
+indicates that the number of arguments must be equal to the image's
+number of samples per pixel.
+.P
+.I fip
+is a field information pointer previously returned by
+.BR TIFFFindField ,
+.BR TIFFFieldWithTag ,
+or
+.BR TIFFFieldWithName .
+.P
+For most field types,
+.BR TIFFFieldWriteCount
+returns the same value as
+.BR TIFFFieldReadCount ,
+but there are some exceptions.
+.br
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
