files
tiffdump [ options ] name ...
tiffdump displays
directory information from files created according to the Tag Image File
Format, Revision 6.0. The header of each TIFF
file (magic number, version,
and first directory offset) is displayed, followed by the tag contents
of each directory in the file. For each tag, the name, data type, count,
and value(s) is displayed. When the symbolic name for a tag or data type
is known, the symbolic name is displayed followed by it’s numeric (decimal)
value. Tag values are displayed enclosed in ‘‘<>’’ characters immediately preceded
by the value of the count field. For example, an ImageWidth tag might be
displayed as ‘‘ImageWidth (256) SHORT (3)
1<800>’’.
tiffdump is particularly useful
for investigating the contents of TIFF
files that libtiff does not understand.
- -h
- Force numeric data to be printed in hexadecimal rather than the
default decimal.
- -m " items"
- Change the number of indirect data items that
are printed. By default, this will be 24.
- -o " offset"
- Dump the contents of
the IFD
at the a particular file offset. The file offset may be specified
using the usual C-style syntax; i.e. a leading ‘‘0x’’ for hexadecimal and a leading
‘‘0’’ for octal.
