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, datatype, count, and value(s) is displayed.  When the
       symbolic name for a tag or datatype 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.

       -o     Dump the contents of the IFD at the a particular	file  offset.
	      The  file	 offset may be specified using the usual C-style syn-
	      tax; i.e. a leading ''0x'' for hexadecimal and a leading	''0''
	      for octal.
