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


NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     TIFFGetField, TIFFVGetField - get the value(s) of a tag in	an open	TIFF
     file

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <tiffio.h>
     int TIFFGetField(TIFF* tif, ttag_t	tag, ...)

     #include <stdarg.h>
     int TIFFVGetField(TIFF* tif, ttag_t tag, va_list ap)
     int TIFFGetFieldDefaulted(TIFF* tif, ttag_t tag, ...)
     int TIFFVGetFieldDefaulted(TIFF* tif, ttag_t tag, va_list ap)

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     TIFFGetField returns the value of a tag or	pseudo-tag associated with the
     the current directory of the open TIFF file tif.  (A pseudo-tag is	a
     parameter that is used to control the operation of	the TIFF library but
     whose value is not	read or	written	to the underlying file.)  The file
     must have been previously opened with TIFFOpen(3T).  The tag is
     identified	by tag,	one of the values defined in the include file tiff.h
     (see also the table below).  The type and number of values	returned is
     dependent on the tag being	requested.  The	programming interface uses a
     variable argument list as prescribed by the stdarg(3) interface.  The
     returned values should only be interpreted	if TIFFGetField	returns	1.

     TIFFVGetField is functionally equivalent to TIFFGetField except that it
     takes a pointer to	a variable argument list.  TIFFVGetField is useful for
     layering interfaces on top	of the functionality provided by TIFFGetField.

     TIFFGetFieldDefaulted and TIFFVGetFieldDefaulted are identical to
     TIFFGetField and TIFFVGetField, except that if a tag is not defined in
     the current directory and it has a	default	value, then the	default	value
     is	returned.

     The tags understood by libtiff, the number	of parameter values, and the
     types for the returned values are shown below.  The data types are
     specified as in C and correspond to the types used	to specify tag values
     to	TIFFSetField(3T).  Remember that TIFFGetField returns parameter
     values, so	all the	listed data types are pointers to storage where	values
     should be returned.  Consult the TIFF specification for information on
     the meaning of each tag and their possible	values.

     Format Specification, Annex B.3 "Embedding	ICC Profiles in	TIFF Files"
     (available	at http://www.color.org) for an	explanation.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

     1 is returned if the tag is defined in the	current	directory; otherwise a
     0 is returned.

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

     Unknown field, tag	0x%x.  An unknown tag was supplied.
