NAME

       TIFFFieldReadCount - Get number of values to be read from field

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tiffio.h>

       int TIFFFieldReadCount(const TIFFField* fip)

DESCRIPTION

       TIFFFieldReadCount  returns the number of values available to be read from the specified TIFF field; that
       is, the number of arguments that should be supplied to TIFFGetField.  For most  field  types  this  is  a
       small positive integer, typically 1 or 2, but there are some special values:
       TIFF_VARIABLE indicates that a variable number of values is possible; then, a uint16 count argument and a
       pointer data argument must be supplied to TIFFGetField.
       TIFF_VARIABLE2 is the same as TIFF_VARIABLE except that the count argument must have type uint32.
       TIFF_SPP indicates that the number of arguments is equal to the image's number of samples per pixel.

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

RETURN VALUES

       TIFFFieldReadCount returns an integer.
