TIFFWriteDirectory(3T)               Image Format Library C++ Reference Manual



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 and TIFFFlush to
     write a modified directory if the file is open for writing.

RETURN VALUES
     1 is returned when the contents are successfully written to the file.
     Otherwise, 0 is returned if an error was encountered when writing the
     directory contents.

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

     Error post-encoding 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.

     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.

     Error writing directory count.  A write error occurred when writing the
     count of fields in the directory.

     Error writing directory contents.  A write error occurred when writing
     the directory fields.

     Error writing directory link.  A write error occurred when writing the
     link to the next directory.

     Error writing data for field "%s".  A write error occurred when writing
     indirect data for the specified field.

     Error writing TIFF header.  A write error occurred when re-writing header
     at the front of the file.

     Error fetching directory count.  A read error occurred when fetching the
     directory count field for a previous directory.  This can occur when
     setting up a link to the directory that is being written.
