XTIFFOpen(3)

NAME

XTIFFOpen, XTIFFFdOpen - open an extended TIFF file for reading or writing

SYNOPSIS

#include <xtiffio.h>
TIFF* XTIFFOpen(const char* filename, const char* mode)
TIFF* XTIFFFdOpen(int fd, const char* filename, const char* mode)

DESCRIPTION

The XTIFFOpen() and XTIFFFdOpen() open a given TIFF file. For XTIFFOpen(), the file to open is given by filename. Like XTIFFOpen(), XTIFFdOpen() requires the name of the underlying file in filename, but assumes that the file has already been opened by the caller. The descriptor for this opened file is given by fd. The file can be opened for reading, writing or appending as given by mode values of 'r', 'w' or 'a' respectively.

The XTIFFOpen() and XTIFFFdOpen() functions differ from their
TIFFOpen(3t) and TIFFFdOpen(3t) analogs in that they extend the set of
tags interpreted by libtiff. This implementation adds support for the
GeoTIFF tag set and is required to support libgeotiff.
