60returns the number of values available to be read from the
61specified TIFF field; that is, the number of arguments that
62should be supplied to <b>TIFFGetField</b>. For most field
63types this is a small positive integer, typically 1 or 2,
64but there are some special values: <b><br>
65TIFF_VARIABLE</b> indicates that a variable number of values
66is possible; then, a <b>uint16</b> <i>count</i> argument and
67a pointer <i>data</i> argument must be supplied to
68<b>TIFFGetField</b>. <b><br>
69TIFF_VARIABLE2</b> is the same as <b>TIFF_VARIABLE</b>
70except that the <i>count</i> argument must have type
71<b>uint32</b>. <b><br>
72TIFF_SPP</b> indicates that the number of arguments is equal
73to the image&rsquo;s number of samples per pixel.</p>
