NAME
      tiffdump - print verbatim information about TIFF files

SYNOPSIS
      tiffdump name ...

DESCRIPTION
      Tiffdump displays directory information from files created according to
      the Tag Image File Format, Revision 5.0.  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.
