tiffdump(1) User Commands tiffdump(1)NAMEtiffdump - display verbatim information about TIFF files
SYNOPSIStiffdump [options] input.tif...
DESCRIPTIONtiffdump 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, fol‐
lowed 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>".
tiffdump is particularly useful for investigating the contents of TIFF
files that libtiff does not understand.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-h Force numeric data to be displayed in hexadecimal
rather than the default decimal format.
-o Dump the contents of the IFD at a particular file off‐
set. The file offset may be specified using the usual
C-style syntax, that is, a leading "0x" for hexadecimal
and a leading "0" for octal.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
input.tif The name of the TIFF file.
