NAME
     tiffdump - print verbatim information about TIFF files

SYNOPSIS
     tiffdump [ options ] name a|

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 nu-
     meric (decimal) value.  Tag values are displayed enclosed in <>  characters
     immediately  preceded by the value of the count field.  For example, an Im-
     ageWidth 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 de-
	    fault decimal.

     -m items
	    Change the number of indirect data items that are  printed.  By  de-
	    fault, 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.
