TIFFWriteDirectory(3T)    UNIX System V(May 2, 1990)     TIFFWriteDirectory(3T)


NAME
      TIFFWriteDirectory - write the current directory in an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS
      #include <tiffio.h>
      int TIFFWriteDirectory(TIFF* tif)

DESCRIPTION
      Write the contents of the current directory to the file and setup to
      create a new subfile in the same file.  Applications only need to call
      TIFFWriteDirectory() when writing multiple subfiles to a single TIFF
      file.  TIFFWriteDirectory() is automatically called by TIFFClose() to
      write a modified directory if the file is open for writing.

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

      Error flushing data before directory write.  Before writing the contents
      of the current directory, any pending data are flushed.  This message
      indicates that an error occurred while doing this.

      Cannot write directory, out of space.  There was not enough space to
      allocate a temporary area for the directory that was to be written.
