TIFFSetDirectory(3tiff) 				 Introduction to Library Functions				   TIFFSetDirectory(3tiff)

NAME
       TIFFSetDirectory, TIFFSetSubDirectory - set the current directory for an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tiffio.h>
       int TIFFSetDirectory(TIFF* tif, tdir_t dirnum)
       int TIFFSetSubDirectory(TIFF* tif, uint32 diroff)

DESCRIPTION
       TIFFSetDirectory  changes the current directory and reads the directory contents with TIFFReadDirectory. The parameter dirnum specifies the
       subfile/directory as an integer number, with the first directory numbered zero.

       TIFFSetSubDirectory acts like TIFFSetDirectory, except that the directory is specified as a file  offset  instead  of  an  index.  This	is
       required for accessing subdirectories linked through a SubIFD tag.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
   Diagnostics
       All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3tiff) routine.

       %s: Error fetching direcAnrerrornwas encountered while reading the "directory count" field.

       %s: Error fetching direcAnrerrorkwas encountered while reading the "link value" that points to the next directory in a file.

RETURN VALUES
       On  successful  completion,  1 is returned. Otherwise, 0 is returned if dirnum or diroff specifies a non-existent directory, or if an error
       was encountered while reading the directory contents.
