55<p>The following routines are provided for client-control of
56the I/O buffers used by the library. Applications need never
57use these routines; they are provided only for
58&lsquo;&lsquo;intelligent clients&rsquo;&rsquo; that wish to
59optimize memory usage and/or eliminate potential copy
60operations that can occur when working with images that have
61data stored without compression.</p>

63<p><i>TIFFReadBufferSetup</i> sets up the data buffer used
64to read raw (encoded) data from a file. If the specified
65pointer is <small>NULL</small> (zero), then a buffer of the
66appropriate size is allocated. Otherwise the caller must
67guarantee that the buffer is large enough to hold any
68individual strip of raw data. <i>TIFFReadBufferSetup</i>
69returns a non-zero value if the setup was successful and
70zero otherwise.</p>
71<!-- INDENTATION -->
72<p><i>TIFFWriteBufferSetup</i> sets up the data buffer used
73to write raw (encoded) data to a file. If the specified
74<i>size</i> is &minus;1 then the buffer size is selected to
75hold a complete tile or strip, or at least 8 kilobytes,
76whichever is greater. If the specified <i>buffer</i> is
77<small>NULL</small> (zero), then a buffer of the appropriate
78size is dynamically allocated. <i>TIFFWriteBufferSetup</i>
79returns a non-zero value if the setup was successful and
80zero otherwise.</p>
