NAME
       tiffdump - display verbatim information about TIFF files

SYNOPSIS
       tiffdump [options] input.tif...

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 values are displayed. When the symbolic name for a tag or datatype is known, the symbolic name is dis-
       played 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 offset. 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.
