NAME
TIFFFieldReadCount - Get number of values to be read from field
SYNOPSIS
"#include <tiffio.h>" "int TIFFFieldReadCount(const TIFFField* " fip ")" DESCRIPTION
TIFFFieldReadCount returns the number of values available to be read from the specified
TIFF field; that is, the number of arguments that should be supplied to
TIFFGetField . For most field types this is a small positive integer, typically 1 or 2,
but there are some special values:
TIFF_VARIABLE indicates that a variable number of values is possible; then, a uint16 count argument and a pointer data argument must be supplied to TIFFGetField .
TIFF_VARIABLE2 is the same as TIFF_VARIABLE except that the count argument must have type uint32 .
TIFF_SPP indicates that the number of arguments is equal to the image's number of samples per pixel.
fip is a field information pointer previously returned by TIFFFindField , TIFFFieldWithTag , or TIFFFieldWithName .
"RETURN VALUES"
TIFFFieldReadCount returns an integer.
