Comic strip aims for a fun way to educate new Linux users

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:00:00 GMT
Jeremiah Gray wants to provide an interesting way to learn about Linux, so he's created a new comic strip, called Hackett and Bankwell, about the open source operating system. The strip will be published as a series of comic books that Gray hopes will appeal to new Linux users, but he says it is "more than just a comic book version of a Linux training guide."

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

NAME

       TIFFReadRawStrip - return the undecoded contents of a strip of data from an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tiffio.h>
       tsize_t TIFFReadRawStrip(TIFF* tif, tstrip_t strip, tdata_t
       buf, tsize_t size)

DESCRIPTION

       Read  the  contents  of the specified strip into the user supplied data buffer. Note that the value of strip is a "raw strip number".  That
       is, the caller must take into account whether or not the data is organized in separate planes (PlanarConfiguration=2). To read a full strip
       of data, the data buffer should typically be at least as large as the value returned by TIFFStripSize.

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

RETURN VALUES

       Returns the actual number of bytes of data that were placed in buf. Returns -1 if an error was encountered.

ATTRIBUTES
