NAME
       tiffdump - print verbatim information about TIFF files

SYNOPSIS
       tiffdump [ options ] name ...

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 value(s) is displayed.  When the symbolic name for a tag or datatype is known, the symbolic name
       is displayed followed by it's 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
       -h     Force numeric data to be printed in hexadecimal rather than the default decimal.

       -o     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.
