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 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.

OPTIONS

       -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.
