-.SH NAME
-libtiff \- introduction to
-.IR libtiff ,
-a library for reading and writing
-.SM TIFF
-files
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
-.sp
-cc file.c
-.B -ltiff
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I libtiff
-is a library for reading and writing data files encoded with the
-.I "Tag Image File"
-format, Revision 6.0 (or revision 5.0 or revision 4.0). This file format is
-suitable for archiving multi-color and monochromatic image data.
-.PP
-The library supports several compression algorithms, as indicated by the
-.I Compression
-field, including:
-no compression (1),
-.SM CCITT
-1D Huffman compression (2),
-.SM CCITT
-Group 3 Facsimile compression (3),
-.SM CCITT
-Group 4 Facsimile compression (4),
-Lempel-Ziv & Welch compression (5),
-baseline JPEG compression (7),
-word-aligned 1D Huffman compression (32771),
-and
-PackBits compression (32773).
-In addition, several nonstandard compression algorithms are supported: the
-4-bit compression algorithm used by the
-.I ThunderScan
-program (32809) (decompression only), NeXT's 2-bit compression algorithm
-(32766) (decompression only), an experimental LZ-style algorithm known as
-Deflate (32946), and an experimental CIE LogLuv compression scheme designed
-for images with high dynamic range (32845 for LogL and 32845 for LogLuv).
-Directory information may be in either little- or big-endian byte order\-byte
-swapping is automatically done by the library. Data bit ordering may be either
-Most Significant Bit (\c
-.SM MSB\c
-) to Least Significant Bit (\c
-.SM LSB\c
-) or
-.SM LSB
-to
-.SM MSB.
-Finally, the library does not support files in which the
-.IR BitsPerSample ,
-.IR Compression ,
-.IR MinSampleValue ,
-or
-.IR MaxSampleValue
-fields are defined differently on a per-sample basis
-(in Rev. 6.0 the
-.I Compression
-tag is not defined on a per-sample basis, so this is immaterial).
-.SH "DATA TYPES"
-The library makes extensive use of C typedefs to promote portability.
-Two sets of typedefs are used, one for communication with clients
-of the library and one for internal data structures and parsing of the
-.SM TIFF
-format.
-The following typedefs are exposed to users either through function
-definitions or through parameters passed through the varargs interfaces.
-.in +.5i
-.sp 5p
-.ta +\w'typedef unsigned <\fIthing\fP> uint32; 'u
-.nf
-typedef unsigned short uint16; 16-bit unsigned integer
-typedef unsigned <\fIthing\fP> uint32; 32-bit unsigned integer
-.sp 5p
-typedef unsigned int ttag_t; directory tag
-typedef uint16 tdir_t; directory index
-typedef uint16 tsample_t; sample number
-typedef uint32 tstrip_t; strip number
-typedef uint32 ttile_t; tile number
-typedef int32 tsize_t; i/o size in bytes
-typedef void* tdata_t; image data ref
-typedef void* thandle_t; client data handle
-typedef int32 toff_t; file offset
-.fi
-.sp 5p
-.in -.5i
-Note that
-.IR tstrip_t ,
-.IR ttile_t ,
-and
-.I tsize_t
-are constrained to be no more than 32-bit quantities by 32-bit fields they are
-stored in in the
-.SM TIFF
-image.
-Likewise
-.I tsample_t
-is limited by the 16-bit field used to store the
-.I SamplesPerPixel
-tag.
-.I tdir_t
-constrains the maximum number of
-.SM IFDs
-that may appear in an image and may be an arbitrary size (w/o penalty).
-.I ttag_t
-must be either int, unsigned int, pointer, or double because the library uses
-a varargs interface and
-.SM "ANSI C"
-restricts the type of the parameter before an ellipsis to be a promoted type.
-.I toff_t
-is defined as int32 because TIFF file offsets are (unsigned) 32-bit
-quantities. A signed value is used because some interfaces return \-1 on
-error. Finally, note that user-specified data references are passed as opaque
-handles and only cast at the lowest layers where their type is presumed.
-.SH "LIST OF ROUTINES"
-The following routines are part of the library. Consult specific manual pages
-for details on their operation; on most systems doing ``man function-name''
-will work.

-.SH "TAG USAGE"
-The table below lists the
-.SM TIFF
-tags that are recognized and handled by the library.
-If no use is indicated in the table, then the library
-reads and writes the tag, but does not use it internally.
-Note that some tags are meaningful only when a particular
-compression scheme is being used; e.g.
-.I Group3Options
-is only useful if
-.I Compression
-is set to
-.SM CCITT
-Group 3 encoding.
-Tags of this sort are considered
-.I codec-specific
-tags and the library does not recognize them except when the
-.I Compression
-tag has been previously set to the relevant compression scheme.

-.SH "PSEUDO TAGS"
-In addition to the normal
-.SM TIFF
-tags the library supports a collection of
-tags whose values lie in a range outside the valid range of
-.SM TIFF
-tags.
-These tags are termed
-.I pseud-tags
-and are used to control various codec-specific functions within the library.
-The table below summarizes the defined pseudo-tags.

-.fi
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_FAXMODE
-Control the operation of the Group 3 codec.
-Possible values (independent bits that can be combined by
-or'ing them together) are:
-FAXMODE_CLASSIC
-(enable old-style format in which the
-.SM RTC
-is written at the end of the last strip),
-FAXMODE_NORTC
-(opposite of
-FAXMODE_CLASSIC;
-also called
-FAXMODE_CLASSF),
-FAXMODE_NOEOL
-(do not write
-.SM EOL
-codes at the start of each row of data),
-FAXMODE_BYTEALIGN
-(align each encoded row to an 8-bit boundary),
-FAXMODE_WORDALIGN
-(align each encoded row to an 16-bit boundary),
-The default value is dependent on the compression scheme; this
-pseudo-tag is used by the various G3 and G4 codecs to share code.
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_FAXFILLFUNC
-Control the function used to convert arrays of black and white
-runs to packed bit arrays.
-This hook can be used to image decoded scanlines in multi-bit
-depth rasters (e.g. for display in colormap mode)
-or for other purposes.
-The default value is a pointer to a builtin function that images
-packed bilevel data.
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_IPTCNEWSPHOTO
-Tag contaings image metadata per the IPTC newsphoto spec: Headline,
-captioning, credit, etc... Used by most wire services.
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP
-Tag contains Photoshop captioning information and metadata. Photoshop
-uses in parallel and redundantly alongside IPTCNEWSPHOTO information.
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_JPEGQUALITY
-Control the compression quality level used in the baseline algorithm.
-Note that quality levels are in the range 0-100 with a default value of 75.
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_JPEGCOLORMODE
-Control whether or not conversion is done between
-RGB and YCbCr colorspaces.
-Possible values are:
-JPEGCOLORMODE_RAW
-(do not convert), and
-JPEGCOLORMODE_RGB
-(convert to/from RGB)
-The default value is JPEGCOLORMODE_RAW.
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_JPEGTABLESMODE
-Control the information written in the
-.I JPEGTables
-tag.
-Possible values (independent bits that can be combined by
-or'ing them together) are:
-JPEGTABLESMODE_QUANT
-(include quantization tables),
-and
-JPEGTABLESMODE_HUFF
-(include Huffman encoding tables).
-The default value is JPEGTABLESMODE_QUANT|JPEGTABLESMODE_HUFF.
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_ZIPQUALITY
-Control the compression technique used by the Deflate codec.
-Quality levels are in the range 1-9 with larger numbers yielding better
-compression at the cost of more computation.
-The default quality level is 6 which yields a good time-space tradeoff.
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_PIXARLOGDATAFMT
-Control the format of user data passed
-.I in
-to the PixarLog codec when encoding and passed
-.I out
-from when decoding.
-Possible values are:
-PIXARLOGDATAFMT_8BIT
-for 8-bit unsigned pixels,
-PIXARLOGDATAFMT_8BITABGR
-for 8-bit unsigned ABGR-ordered pixels,
-PIXARLOGDATAFMT_11BITLOG
-for 11-bit log-encoded raw data,
-PIXARLOGDATAFMT_12BITPICIO
-for 12-bit PICIO-compatible data,
-PIXARLOGDATAFMT_16BIT
-for 16-bit signed samples,
-and
-PIXARLOGDATAFMT_FLOAT
-for 32-bit IEEE floating point samples.
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_PIXARLOGQUALITY
-Control the compression technique used by the PixarLog codec.
-This value is treated identically to TIFFTAG_ZIPQUALITY; see the
-above description.
-.TP
-.B TIFFTAG_SGILOGDATAFMT
-Control the format of client data passed
-.I in
-to the SGILog codec when encoding and passed
-.I out
-from when decoding.
-Possible values are:
-SGILOGDATAFMT_FLTXYZ
-for converting between LogLuv and 32-bit IEEE floating valued XYZ pixels,
-SGILOGDATAFMT_16BITLUV
-for 16-bit encoded Luv pixels,
-SGILOGDATAFMT_32BITRAW and SGILOGDATAFMT_24BITRAW
-for no conversion of data,
-SGILOGDATAFMT_8BITRGB
-for returning 8-bit RGB data (valid only when decoding LogLuv-encoded data),
-SGILOGDATAFMT_FLTY
-for converting between LogL and 32-bit IEEE floating valued Y pixels,
-SGILOGDATAFMT_16BITL
-for 16-bit encoded L pixels,
-and
-SGILOGDATAFMT_8BITGRY
-for returning 8-bit greyscale data
-(valid only when decoding LogL-encoded data).
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-All error messages are directed through the
-.IR TIFFError
-routine.
-By default messages are directed to
-.B stderr
-in the form:
-.IR "module: message\en."
-Warning messages are likewise directed through the
-.IR TIFFWarning
-routine.
