NAME

       TIFFWriteDirectory - write the current directory in an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tiffio.h>
       int TIFFWriteDirectory(TIFF* tif)

       Write the contents of the current directory to the file and set up to create a new subfile in the same file. Applications only need to call
       TIFFWriteDirectory when writing multiple subfiles to a single TIFF file. TIFFWriteDirectory is automatically called by TIFFClose and  TIFF-
       Flush to write a modified directory if the file is open for writing.
