If the open operation fails, then zero is returned. The <i>mode</i> parameter specifies if the file is to be opened for reading (‘‘r’’), writing (‘‘w’’), or appending (‘‘a’’) and, optionally, whether to override certain default aspects of library operation (see below). When a file is opened for appending, existing data will not be touched; instead new data will be written as additional subfiles. If an existing file is opened for writing, all previous data is overwritten.</p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p>If a file is opened for reading, the first <small>TIFF</small> directory in the file is automatically read (also see <i>TIFFSetDirectory</i>(3TIFF) for reading directories other than the first). If a file is opened for writing or appending, a default directory is automatically created for writing subsequent data. This directory has all the default values specified in <small>TIFF</small> Revision 6.0: <i>BitsPerSample</i>=1, <i>ThreshHolding</i>=bilevel art scan, <i>FillOrder</i>=1 (most significant bit of each data byte is filled first), <i>Orientation</i>=1 (the 0th row represents the visual top of the image, and the 0th column represents the visual left hand side), <i>SamplesPerPixel</i>=1, <i>RowsPerStrip</i>=infinity, <i>ResolutionUnit</i>=2 (inches), and <i>Compression</i>=1 (no compression). To alter these values, or to define values for additional fields, <i>TIFFSetField</i>(3TIFF) must be used.</p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p><i>TIFFFdOpen</i> is like <i>TIFFOpen</i> except that it opens a <small>TIFF</small> file given an open file descriptor <i>fd</i>.

The <i>readproc</i> and <i>writeproc</i> are called to read and write data at the current file position. <i>seekproc</i> is called to change the current file position a la <i>lseek</i>(2). <i>closeproc</i> is invoked to release any resources associated with an open file. <i>sizeproc</i> is invoked to obtain the size in bytes of a file. <i>mapproc</i> and <i>unmapproc</i> are called to map and unmap a file’s contents in memory; c.f. <i>mmap</i>(2) and <i>munmap</i>(2).

Strip chopping is a mechanism by which the library will automatically convert the single-strip image to multiple strips, each of which has about 8 Kilobytes of data. This facility can be useful in reducing the amount of memory used to read an image because the library normally reads each strip in its entirety. Strip chopping does however alter the apparent contents of the image because when an image is divided into multiple strips it looks as though the underlying file contains multiple separate strips. Finally, note that default handling of strip chopping is a compile-time configuration parameter. The default behaviour, for backwards compatibility, is to enable strip chopping.</p> </td> <td width="0%"> </td> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="10%"></td> <td width="2%"> <p><b>c</b></p> </td> <td width="6%"></td> <td width="80%"> <p>Disable the use of strip chopping when reading images.</p> </td> <td width="0%"> </td> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="10%"></td> <td width="2%"> <p><b>h</b></p> </td> <td width="6%"></td> <td width="80%"> <p>Read TIFF header only, do not load the first image directory.

Nonetheless some software that claims to support the reading of <small>TIFF</small> images is incapable of reading images in anything but the native <small>CPU</small> byte order on which the software was written. (Especially notorious are applications written to run on Intel-based machines.) By default the library will create new files with the native byte-order of the <small>CPU</small> on which the application is run. This ensures optimal performance and is portable to any application that conforms to the TIFF specification. To force the library to use a specific byte-order when creating a new file the ‘‘b’’ and ‘‘l’’ option flags may be included in the call to open a file; for example, ‘‘wb’’ or ‘‘wl’’.</p> </td> </table> <a name="RETURN VALUES"></a> <h2>RETURN VALUES</h2> <!-- INDENTATION --> <table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void" cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="8%"></td> <td width="91%"> <p>Upon successful completion <i>TIFFOpen</i>, <i>TIFFFdOpen</i>, and <i>TIFFClientOpen</i> return a <small>TIFF</small> pointer.
