53displays directory information from files created according
54to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0. The header of
55each <small>TIFF</small> file (magic number, version, and
56first directory offset) is displayed, followed by the tag
57contents of each directory in the file. For each tag, the
58name, data type, count, and value(s) is displayed. When the
59symbolic name for a tag or data type is known, the symbolic
60name is displayed followed by it&rsquo;s numeric (decimal)
61value. Tag values are displayed enclosed in
62&lsquo;&lsquo;&lt;&gt;&rsquo;&rsquo; characters immediately
63preceded by the value of the count field. For example, an
64<i>ImageWidth</i> tag might be displayed as
65&lsquo;&lsquo;ImageWidth (256) SHORT (3)
661&lt;800&gt;&rsquo;&rsquo;.</p>
