NAME
     tiffcmp - compare two TIFF files

SYNOPSIS
     tiffcmp [ options ] file1.tif file2.tif

DESCRIPTION
     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 imma-
     terial  when  data  are  compared-data  are  compared  on  a
     scanline-by-scanline basis after decompression.  Most direc-
     tory  tags  are checked; notable exceptions are: GrayRespon-
     seCurve, ColorResponseCurve, and ColorMap tags.   Data  will
     not  be  compared  if  any of the BitsPerSample, SamplesPer-
     Pixel, or ImageWidth values  are  not  equal.   By  default,
     tiffcmp will terminate if it encounters any difference.

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

     -t   Ignore any differences in directory tags.

BUGS
     Tags that are not recognized by the  library  are  not  com-
     pared; they may also generate spurious diagnostics.
