+.SH NAME
+TIFFSetField, TIFFVSetField \- set the value(s) of a tag in a
+.SM TIFF
+file open for writing
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
+.sp
+.BI "int TIFFSetField(TIFF *" tif ", ttag_t " tag ", " ... ")"
+.sp
+.B "#include <stdarg.h>"
+.sp
+.BI "int TIFFVSetField(TIFF *" tif ", ttag_t " tag ", va_list " ap ")"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IR TIFFSetField
+sets the value of a field
+or pseudo-tag in the current directory associated with
+the open
+.SM TIFF
+file
+.IR tif .
+(A
+.I pseudo-tag
+is a parameter that is used to control the operation of the
+.SM TIFF
+library but whose value is not read or written to the underlying file.)
+To set the value of a field
+the file must have been previously opened for writing with
+.IR TIFFOpen (3TIFF);
+pseudo-tags can be set whether the file was opened for reading
+or writing.
+The field is identified by
+.IR tag ,
+one of the values defined in the include file
+.B tiff.h
+(see also the table below).
+The actual value is specified using a variable argument list,
+as prescribed by the
+.IR stdarg (3)
+interface (\c
+or, on some machines, the
+.IR varargs (3)
+interface.)
+.PP
+.IR TIFFVSetField
+is functionally equivalent to
+.IR TIFFSetField
+except that it takes a pointer to a variable
+argument list.
+.I TIFFVSetField
+is useful for writing routines that are layered
+on top of the functionality provided by
+.IR TIFFSetField .
+.PP
+The tags understood by
+.IR libtiff ,
+the number of parameter values, and the
+expected types for the parameter values are shown below.
+The data types are:
+.I char*
+is null-terminated string and corresponds to the
+.SM ASCII
+data type;
+.I uint16
+is an unsigned 16-bit value;
+.I uint32
+is an unsigned 32-bit value;
+.I uint16*
+is an array of unsigned 16-bit values.
+.I void*
+is an array of data values of unspecified type.
+
+Consult the
+.SM TIFF
+specification for information on the meaning of each tag.

+Annex B.3 "Embedding ICC Profiles in TIFF Files"
+(available at http://www.color.org) for an explanation.

+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+1 is returned if the operation was successful.
+Otherwise, 0 is returned if an error was detected.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+All error messages are directed to the
+.BR TIFFError (3TIFF)
+routine.
+.PP
+\fB%s: Cannot modify tag "%s" while writing\fP.
+Data has already been written to the file, so the
+specified tag's value can not be changed.
+This restriction is applied to all tags that affect
+the format of written data.
+.PP
+\fB%d: Bad value for "%s"\fP.
+An invalid value was supplied for the named tag.
