+.SH NAME
+TIFFReadBufferSetup, TIFFWriteBufferSetup \- I/O buffering control routines
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
+.sp
+.BI "int TIFFReadBufferSetup(TIFF *" tif ", tdata_t " buffer ", tsize_t " size ");"
+.BI "int TIFFWriteBufferSetup(TIFF *" tif ", tdata_t " buffer ", tsize_t " size ");"
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The following routines are provided for client-control of the I/O buffers used
+by the library. Applications need never use these routines; they are provided
+only for ``intelligent clients'' that wish to optimize memory usage and/or
+eliminate potential copy operations that can occur when working with images
+that have data stored without compression.
+.PP
+.I TIFFReadBufferSetup
+sets up the data buffer used to read raw (encoded) data from a file. If the
+specified pointer is
+.SM NULL
+(zero), then a buffer of the appropriate size is allocated. Otherwise the
+caller must guarantee that the buffer is large enough to hold any individual
+strip of raw data.
+.I TIFFReadBufferSetup
+returns a non-zero value if the setup was successful and zero otherwise.
+.PP
+.I TIFFWriteBufferSetup
+sets up the data buffer used to write raw (encoded) data to a file. If the
+specified
+.I size
+is \-1 then the buffer size is selected to hold a complete tile or strip, or
+at least 8 kilobytes, whichever is greater. If the specified
+.I buffer
+is
+.SM NULL
+(zero), then a buffer of the appropriate size is dynamically allocated.
+.I TIFFWriteBufferSetup
+returns a non-zero value if the setup was successful and zero otherwise.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.BR "%s: No space for data buffer at scanline %ld" .
+.I TIFFReadBufferSetup
+was unable to dynamically allocate space for a data buffer.
+.PP
+.BR "%s: No space for output buffer" .
+.I TIFFWriteBufferSetup
+was unable to dynamically allocate space for a data buffer.
