TIFFWriteDirectory(3T)TIFFWriteDirectory(3T)NAMETIFFWriteDirectory - write the current directory in an
open TIFF file
SYNOPSIS
#include <tiffio.h>
int TIFFWriteDirectory(TIFF* tif)
DESCRIPTION
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
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.
