XTIFFOpen(3)      Image Format Library C++ Reference Manual       XTIFFOpen(3)



NAME
     XTIFFOpen, XTIFFFdOpen - open an extended TIFF file for reading or
     writing

SYNOPSIS
     #include <xtiffio.h>
     TIFF* XTIFFOpen(const char* filename, const char* mode)
     TIFF* XTIFFFdOpen(int fd, const char* filename, const char* mode)

DESCRIPTION
     The XTIFFOpen() and XTIFFFdOpen() open a given TIFF file. For
     XTIFFOpen(), the file to open is given by filename. Like XTIFFOpen(),
     XTIFFdOpen() requires the name of the underlying file in filename, but
     assumes that the file has already been opened by the caller. The
     descriptor for this opened file is given by fd. The file can be opened
     for reading, writing or appending as given by mode values of 'r', 'w' or
     'a' respectively.

     The XTIFFOpen() and XTIFFFdOpen() functions differ from their
     TIFFOpen(3t) and TIFFFdOpen(3t) analogs in that they extend the set of
     tags interpreted by libtiff. This implementation adds support for the
     GeoTIFF tag set and is required to support libgeotiff.
