NAME
     tiffdump - display verbatim information about TIF files

SYNOPSIS
     tiffdump [options] input.tif...

DESCRIPTION
     tiffdump displays directory information from  files  created
     according  to  the  Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0. The
     header of each TIF 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  values  are displayed. When the symbolic
     name for a tag or datatype is known, the  symbolic  name  is
     displayed  followed by the numeric decimal value. Tag values
     are displayed enclosed in "<>" characters  immediately  pre-
     ceded  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  con-
     tents of TIF files that libtiff does not understand.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -h              Force numeric data to be displayed in  hexa-
                     decimal rather than the default decimal for-
                     mat.



     -o              Dump the contents of the IFD at a particular
                     file  offset.  The file offset may be speci-
                     fied using the usual  C-style  syntax,  that
                     is,  a  leading  "0x"  for hexadecimal and a
                     leading "0" for octal.



OPERANDS
     The following operands are supported:

     input.tif       The name of the TIF file.
