NAME
       tiffdump - display verbatim information about TIFF files

SYNOPSIS
       tiffdump [options] input.tif...

DESCRIPTION
       tiffdump displays directory information from files created according to
       the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0. The header of each  TIFF  file
       (magic  number, version, and first directory offset) is displayed, fol‐
       lowed by the tag contents of each directory in the file. For each  tag,
       the  name, datatype, count, and values are displayed. When the symbolic
       name for a tag or datatype is known, the	 symbolic  name	 is  displayed
       followed	 by  the  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.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -h	       Force  numeric  data  to	 be  displayed	in hexadecimal
		       rather than the default decimal format.

       -o	       Dump the contents of the IFD at a particular file  off‐
		       set.  The  file offset may be specified using the usual
		       C-style syntax, that is, a leading "0x" for hexadecimal
		       and a leading "0" for octal.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       input.tif       The name of the TIFF file.
