NAME
       tiffcmp - compare two TIFF files

SYNOPSIS
       tiffcmp [options] file1.tif file2.tif

DESCRIPTION
       tiffcmp	compares the tags and data in two files created according to the Tagged Image File Format, Revision 6.0. The schemes used for com-
       pressing data in each file are immaterial when comparing data. Files are compared on a scanline-by-scanline basis after decompression. Most
       directory tags are checked, notable exceptions are GrayResponseCurve, ColorResponseCurve, and ColorMap tags. Data is not compared if any of
       the BitsPerSample, SamplesPerPixel, or ImageWidth values are not equal. By default, tiffcmp terminates if any difference is encountered.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -l	       List each byte of image data that differs between the files.

       -t	       Ignore any differences in directory tags.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       filex.tif       The names of the TIFF files to be compared.
