+argument must be supplied to
+.BR TIFFGetField .
+.br
+.BR TIFF_VARIABLE2
+is the same as
+.BR TIFF_VARIABLE
+except that the
+.I count
+argument must have type
+.BR uint32 .
+.br
+.BR TIFF_SPP
+indicates that the number of arguments is equal to the image's
+number of samples per pixel.
+.P
+.I fip
+is a field information pointer previously returned by
+.BR TIFFFindField ,
