NAME
tiffdump - print verbatim information about TIFF files

SYNOPSIS
tiffdump [ options ] name ...

DESCRIPTION
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 sym-
bolic 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.

OPTIONS

-m items

24.

and a leading ``0'' for octal.
