TIFFMERGEFIELDINFO(3tiff)

✨ TIFFMERGEFIELDINFO ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the TIFFMergeFieldInfo page from the LibTIFF manual (that's the 3tiff section, iykyk) 💖

💅 NAME 💅

TIFFMergeFieldInfo — the function that lets you add your very own application-defined TIFF tags to the list of tags libtiff already knows about 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <tiffio.h>

int TIFFMergeFieldInfo(TIFF *tif, const TIFFFieldInfo info[], uint32_t n)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie: TIFFMergeFieldInfo() is literally how you slide your own application-defined TIFF tags into the list of known libtiff tags. That's it, that's the whole job — you're basically introducing your custom tags to the friend group so libtiff stops acting like it doesn't know them 🙈

If you want the full lore: there's a brief description hanging out over at Defining Application Tags, and if you wanna know what actually goes inside each element of the TIFFFieldInfo array, that's all spelled out at TIFFFFieldInfo definition (yes, that's three F's, that's not me being chaotic, that's just how it's written, no cap) 👑

⭐ DIAGNOSTICS ⭐

None.

like... nothing. zero. silent queen behavior. 💀
