42<i>tiffdump</i> displays directory information from files
43created according to the Tag Image File Format, Revision
446.0. The header of each <small>TIFF</small> file (magic
45number, version, and first directory offset) is displayed,
46followed by the tag contents of each directory in the file.
47For each tag, the name, datatype, count, and value(s) is
48displayed. When the symbolic name for a tag or datatype is
49known, the symbolic name is displayed followed by it's
50numeric (decimal) value. Tag values are displayed enclosed
51in ``&lt;&gt;'' characters immediately preceded by the value
52of the count field. For example, an <i>ImageWidth</i> tag
53might be displayed as ``ImageWidth (256) SHORT (3)
541&lt;800&gt;''.</td></table>
