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, followed by the tag
contents of each directory in the file. For each tag, the name, datatype,
count, and value(s) is displayed. When the symbolic name for a tag or datatype
is known, the symbolic name is displayed followed by it's 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.

a particular file offset. The file offset may be specified using the usual
C-style syntax; i.e. a leading ``0x'' for hexadecimal and a leading ``0'' for octal.
