instead new data will be written as additional subfiles. +If an existing file is opened for writing, all previous data is +overwritten. +.PP +If a file is opened for reading, the first +.SM TIFF +directory in the file is automatically read +(also see +.IR TIFFSetDirectory (3TIFF) +for reading directories other than the first). +If a file is opened for writing or appending, a default directory +is automatically created for writing subsequent data. +This directory has all the default values specified in +.SM TIFF +Revision 6.0: +.IR BitsPerSample =1, +.IR ThreshHolding "=bilevel art scan," +.IR FillOrder =1 +(most significant bit of each data byte is filled first), +.IR Orientation =1 +(the 0th row represents the visual top of the image, and the 0th +column represents the visual left hand side), +.IR SamplesPerPixel =1, +.IR RowsPerStrip =infinity, +.IR ResolutionUnit =2 +(inches), and +.IR Compression =1 +(no compression). +To alter these values, or to define values for additional fields, +.IR TIFFSetField (3TIFF) +must be used. +.PP +.IR TIFFFdOpen +is like +.IR TIFFOpen +except that it opens a +.SM TIFF +file given an open file descriptor +.IR fd . +The file's name and mode must reflect that of the open descriptor. +The object associated with the file descriptor +.BR "must support random access" . +.PP +.IR TIFFClientOpen +is like +.IR TIFFOpen +except that the caller supplies a collection of functions that the +library will use to do \s-1UNIX\s+1-like I/O operations. +The +.I readproc +and +.I writeproc +are called to read and write data at the current file position. +.I seekproc +is called to change the current file position a la +.IR lseek (2). +.I closeproc +is invoked to release any resources associated with an open file. +.I sizeproc +is invoked to obtain the size in bytes of a file. +.I mapproc +and +.I unmapproc +are called to map and unmap a file's contents in memory; c.f. +.IR mmap (2) +and +.IR munmap (2). +The +.I clientdata +parameter is an opaque ``handle'' passed to the client-specified +routines passed as parameters to +.IR TIFFClientOpen . +.SH OPTIONS +The open mode parameter can include the following flags in +addition to the ``r'', ``w'', and ``a'' flags. +Note however that option flags must follow the read-write-append +specification. +.TP +.B l +When creating a new file force information be written with +Little-Endian byte order (but see below). +By default the library will create new files using the native +.SM CPU +byte order. +.TP +.B b +When creating a new file force information be written with +Big-Endian byte order (but see below). +By default the library will create new files using the native +.SM CPU +byte order. +.TP +.B L +Force image data that is read or written to be treated with +bits filled from Least Significant Bit (\s-1LSB\s+1) to +Most Significant Bit (\s-1MSB\s+1). +Note that this is the opposite to the way the library has +worked from its inception. +.TP +.B B +Force image data that is read or written to be treated with +bits filled from Most Significant Bit (\s-1MSB\s+1) to +Least Significant Bit (\s-1LSB\s+1); this is the default. +.TP +.B H +Force image data that is read or written to be treated with +bits filled in the same order as the native +.SM CPU. +.TP +.B M +Enable the use of memory-mapped files for images opened read-only. +If the underlying system does not support memory-mapped files +or if the specific image being opened cannot be memory-mapped +then the library will fallback to using the normal system interface +for reading information. +By default the library will attempt to use memory-mapped files. +.TP +.B m +Disable the use of memory-mapped files. +.TP +.B C +Enable the use of ``strip chopping'' when reading images +that are comprised of a single strip or tile of uncompressed data. +Strip chopping is a mechanism by which the library will automatically +convert the single-strip image to multiple strips, +each of which has about 8 Kilobytes of data. +This facility can be useful in reducing the amount of memory used +to read an image because the library normally reads each strip +in its entirety. +Strip chopping does however alter the apparent contents of the +image because when an image is divided into multiple strips it +looks as though the underlying file contains multiple separate +strips. +Finally, note that default handling of strip chopping is a compile-time +configuration parameter. +The default behaviour, for backwards compatibility, is to enable +strip chopping. +.TP +.B c +Disable the use of strip chopping when reading images. +.TP +.B h +Read TIFF header only, do not load the first image directory. That could be +useful in case of the broken first directory. We can open the file and proceed +to the other directories. +.SH "BYTE ORDER" +The +.SM TIFF +specification (\fBall versions\fP) states that compliant readers +.IR "must be capable of reading images written in either byte order" . +Nonetheless some software that claims to support the reading of +.SM TIFF +images is incapable of reading images in anything but the native +.SM CPU +byte order on which the software was written. +(Especially notorious +are applications written to run on Intel-based machines.) +By default the library will create new files with the native +byte-order of the +.SM CPU +on which the application is run. +This ensures optimal performance and is portable to any application +that conforms to the TIFF specification. +To force the library to use a specific byte-order when creating +a new file the ``b'' and ``l'' option flags may be included in +the call to open a file; for example, ``wb'' or ``wl''. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +Upon successful completion +.IR TIFFOpen , +.IR TIFFFdOpen , +and +.IR TIFFClientOpen +return a +.SM TIFF +pointer. +Otherwise, NULL is returned. +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +All error messages are directed to the +.IR TIFFError (3TIFF) +routine. +Likewise, warning messages are directed to the +.IR TIFFWarning (3TIFF) +routine. +.PP +\fB"%s": Bad mode\fP. +The specified +.I mode +parameter was not one of ``r'' (read), ``w'' (write), or ``a'' (append). +.PP +.BR "%s: Cannot open" . +.IR TIFFOpen () +was unable to open the specified filename for read/writing. +.PP +.BR "Cannot read TIFF header" . +An error occurred while attempting to read the header information. +.PP +.BR "Error writing TIFF header" . +An error occurred while writing the default header information +for a new file. +.PP +.BR "Not a TIFF file, bad magic number %d (0x%x)" . +The magic number in the header was not (hex) +0x4d4d or (hex) 0x4949. +.PP +.BR "Not a TIFF file, bad version number %d (0x%x)" . +The version field in the header was not 42 (decimal). +.PP +.BR "Cannot append to file that has opposite byte ordering" . +A file with a byte ordering opposite to the native byte +ordering of the current machine was opened for appending (``a''). +This is a limitation of the library. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR libtiff (3TIFF), +.IR TIFFClose (3TIFF) -- cgit v1.2.3
