tiffcmp - compare two TIFF files

CONTENTS

tiffcmp [options] file1.tif file2.tif

tiffcmp compares the tags and data in two files created according to the Tagged Image File Format, Revision 6.0. The schemes used for compressing data in each file are immaterial when comparing data. Files are compared on a scanline-by-scanline basis after decompression. Most directory tags are checked, notable exceptions are GrayResponseCurve, ColorResponseCurve, and ColorMap tags. Data is not compared if any of the BitsPerSample, SamplesPerPixel, or ImageWidth values are not equal. By default, tiffcmp terminates if any difference is encountered.

The following options are supported:

-l List each byte of image data that differs between the files.

-t Ignore any differences in directory tags.

The following operands are supported:

filex.tif The names of the TIFF files to be compared.

See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

ATTRIBUTE TYPE	ATTRIBUTE VALUE
Availability	SUNWTiff
Interface stability	Evolving

pal2rgb(1), tiffinfo(1), tiffcp(1), tiffmedian(1), libtiff(3)

Tags that are not recognized by the library are not compared. Such tags may also generate spurious diagnostics.
