NAME

       TIFFFieldPassCount - get whether to pass a count to TIFFGetField/TIFFSetField

SYNOPSIS

          #include <tiffio.h>

       int TIFFFieldPassCount(const TIFFField *fip)

DESCRIPTION

       TIFFFieldPassCount()  returns true (nonzero) if TIFFGetField() and TIFFSetField() expect a
       count value to be passed before the actual data pointer.

       fip  is  a   field   information   pointer   previously   returned   by   TIFFFindField(),
       TIFFFieldWithTag(), TIFFFieldWithName().

       When  a  count  is  required,  it will be of type uint32_t if TIFFFieldReadCount() reports
       TIFF_VARIABLE2, and of type uint16_t otherwise.  (This distinction is critical for use  of
       TIFFGetField(), but normally not so for use of TIFFSetField().)

RETURN VALUES

       TIFFFieldPassCount() returns an integer that is always 1 (true) or 0 (false).
