50<p><i>tiffdump</i> displays directory information from files
51created according to the Tag Image File Format, Revision
526.0. The header of each <small>TIFF</small> file (magic
53number, version, and first directory offset) is displayed,
54followed by the tag contents of each directory in the file.
55For each tag, the name, datatype, count, and value(s) is
56displayed. When the symbolic name for a tag or datatype is
57known, the symbolic name is displayed followed by it&rsquo;s
58numeric (decimal) value. Tag values are displayed enclosed
59in &lsquo;&lsquo;&lt;&gt;&rsquo;&rsquo; characters
60immediately preceded by the value of the count field. For
61example, an <i>ImageWidth</i> tag might be displayed as
62&lsquo;&lsquo;ImageWidth (256) SHORT (3)
631&lt;800&gt;&rsquo;&rsquo;.</p>
64<!-- INDENTATION -->
65<p><i>tiffdump</i> is particularly useful for investigating
66the contents of <small>TIFF</small> files that
67<i>libtiff</i> does not understand.</p>
