TIFFWriteDirectory(3T)		     Image Format Library C++ Reference	Manual

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     TIFFWriteDirectory	- write	the current directory in an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <tiffio.h>
     int TIFFWriteDirectory(TIFF* tif)

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Write the contents	of the current directory to the	file and setup to
     create a new subfile in the same file.  Applications only need to call
     TIFFWriteDirectory	when writing multiple subfiles to a single TIFF	file.
     TIFFWriteDirectory	is automatically called	by TIFFClose and TIFFFlush to
     write a modified directory	if the file is open for	writing.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

     1 is returned when	the contents are successfully written to the file.
     Otherwise,	0 is returned if an error was encountered when writing the
     directory contents.

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     All error messages	are directed to	the TIFFError(3T) routine.

     of	the current directory, any pending data	are flushed.  This message
     indicates that an error occurred while doing this.
