.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBtiffdump\fR 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,
datatype, 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 preceded by the value of the count field\&. For example, an ImageWidth
tag might be displayed as "ImageWidth (256) SHORT (3) 1<800>"\&.
