💖 TIFFFIELDTAG 💖 (3tiff, LibTIFF)

okay bestie, welcome to the LibTIFF corner of the group chat, this one is short and sweet and honestly? a lil iconic. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

TIFFFieldTag — the way that you get a TIFF field's tag value out of its field info 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <tiffio.h>

uint32_t TIFFFieldTag(const TIFFField *fip)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, TIFFFieldTag() hands you back the numeric tag value for a TIFF field. and why do we care? bc you can compare that number against all the constants that the libtiff header files export — you know the ones, like TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH. matching game, but make it ✨useful✨.

fip is a field information pointer, and no you can't just make one up — it's gotta be one that was previously returned by one of these lil guys:

• TIFFFindField()
• TIFFFieldWithTag()
• TIFFFieldWithName()

periodt. 💜

---

👑 RETURN VALUES 👑

TIFFFieldTag() returns an integer tag value. that's it, that's the return. simple, clean, slay. 🫶
