TIFFCMP(1)             UNIX System V(November 24, 1990)              TIFFCMP(1)


NAME
      tiffcmp - compare two TIFF files

SYNOPSIS
      tiffcmp [ -l ] [ -t ] file1 file2

DESCRIPTION
      Tiffcmp compares the tags and data in two files created according to the
      Tagged Image File Format, Revision 5.0.  The schemes used for compressing
      data in each file are immaterial when data are compared-data are compared
      on a scanline-by-scanline basis after decompression.  Most directory tags
      are checked; notable exceptions are:  GrayResponseCurve,
      ColorResponseCurve, and ColorMap tags.  Data will not be compared if any
      of the BitsPerSample, SamplesPerPixel, or ImageWidth values are not
      equal.  By default, tiffcmp will terminate if it encounters any
      difference.  If the -t option is specified, any differences in directory
      tags will be ignored.  If the -l option is specified, each data byte that
      differs will be shown.

BUGS
      Tags that are not recognized by the library are not compared; they may
      also generate spurious diagnostics.
