TIFFPRINTDIRECTORY(3tiff)

💖 NAME 💖

TIFFPrintDirectory — bestie, it prints a description of a TIFF directory ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <tiffio.h>

void TIFFPrintDirectory(TIFF *tif, FILE *fd, long flags)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so TIFFPrintDirectory() prints out a whole description of the current directory inside the TIFF file you're looking at, and it dumps all of that straight to the standard I/O output stream fd. it's giving "tell me everything, no filter" 💅

the flags parameter is the vibe check for how much detail you want. it's a bitwise-or of the flags defined in tiffio.h, and here's the whole lineup, no cap:

• TIFFPRINT_NONE — value 0x0 — no extra info 🍓 (literally the bare minimum, and honestly? valid)
• TIFFPRINT_STRIPS — value 0x1 — strips/tiles info 🎀
• TIFFPRINT_CURVES — value 0x2 — color/gray response curves 🌈
• TIFFPRINT_COLORMAP — value 0x4 — colormap 👑
• TIFFPRINT_JPEGQTABLES — value 0x100 — JPEG Q matrices 🔥
• TIFFPRINT_JPEGACTABLES — value 0x200 — JPEG AC tables ⭐
• TIFFPRINT_JPEGDCTABLES — value 0x200 — JPEG DC tables 💜

---

🎀 NOTES 🎀

in C++ the flags parameter defaults to 0. so if you're a C++ girlie you can just… not type it 🙈

---

💅 RETURN VALUES 💅

none. it returns nothing. it's not about the return, it's about the journey 🫶

---

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

none. silence. iconic behaviour honestly.
