TIFFGetField(3TIFF) TIFFGetField(3TIFF)
NAME
TIFFGetField, TIFFVGetField - get the value(s) of a tag in an open TIFF file
SYNOPSIS
#include <tiffio.h>
int TIFFGetField(TIFF *tif, ttag_t tag, ...)
#include <stdarg.h>
int TIFFVGetField(TIFF *tif, ttag_t tag, va_list ap)
int TIFFGetFieldDefaulted(TIFF *tif, ttag_t tag, ...)
int TIFFVGetFieldDefaulted(TIFF *tif, ttag_t tag, va_list ap)
DESCRIPTION
TIFFGetField returns the value of a tag or pseudo-tag associated with the the current
directory of the opened TIFF file tif. (A pseudo-tag is a parameter that is used to con-
trol the operation of the TIFF library but whose value is not read or written to the
underlying file.) The file must have been previously opened with TIFFOpen(3TIFF). The tag
is identified by tag, one of the values defined in the include file tiff.h (see also the
table below). The type and number of values returned is dependent on the tag being
requested. The programming interface uses a variable argument list as prescribed by the
stdarg(3) interface. The returned values should only be interpreted if TIFFGetField
returns 1.
TIFFVGetField is functionally equivalent to TIFFGetField except that it takes a pointer to
a variable argument list. TIFFVGetField is useful for layering interfaces on top of the
functionality provided by TIFFGetField.
TIFFGetFieldDefaulted and TIFFVGetFieldDefaulted are identical to TIFFGetField and
TIFFVGetField, except that if a tag is not defined in the current directory and it has a
default value, then the default value is returned.
The tags understood by libtiff(3TIFF), the number of parameter values, and the types for
the returned values are shown below. The data types are specified as in C and correspond
to the types used to specify tag values to TIFFSetField(3TIFF). Remember that TIFFGet-
Field returns parameter values, so all the listed data types are pointers to storage where
values should be returned. Consult the TIFF specification (or relevant industry specifi-
cation) for information on the meaning of each tag and their possible values.

an explanation.
AUTOREGISTERED TAGS
If you can't find the tag in the table above that means this is an unsupported tag and is
not directly supported by libtiff(3TIFF) library. You will still be able to read it's
value if you know the data type of that tag. For example, if you want to read the LONG
value from the tag 33424 and ASCII string from the tag 36867 you can use the following
code:
uint32 count;
void *data;
TIFFGetField(tiff, 33424, &count, &data);
printf("Tag %d: %d, count %d0, 33424, *(uint32 *)data, count);
TIFFGetField(tiff, 36867, &count, &data);
printf("Tag %d: %s, count %d0, 36867, (char *)data, count);
RETURN VALUES
1 is returned if the tag is defined in the current directory; otherwise a 0 is returned.
DIAGNOSTICS
All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3TIFF) routine.
Unknown field, tag 0x%x. An unknown tag was supplied.
