NAME
       TIFFFieldReadCount - Get number of values to be read from field

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tiffio.h>

       int TIFFFieldReadCount(const TIFFField* fip)

DESCRIPTION
       TIFFFieldReadCount  returns  the number of values available to be read from the specified TIFF field; that is, the number of arguments that
       should be supplied to TIFFGetField.  For most field types this is a small positive integer, typically 1 or 2, but there	are  some  special
       values:
       TIFF_VARIABLE  indicates  that  a  variable number of values is possible; then, a uint16 count argument and a pointer data argument must be
       supplied to TIFFGetField.
       TIFF_VARIABLE2 is the same as TIFF_VARIABLE except that the count argument must have type uint32.
       TIFF_SPP indicates that the number of arguments is equal to the image's number of samples per pixel.

       fip is a field information pointer previously returned by TIFFFindField, TIFFFieldWithTag, or TIFFFieldWithName.

RETURN VALUES
       TIFFFieldReadCount returns an integer.
