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  com‐
       pressing	 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.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

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

       -t	       Ignore any differences in directory tags.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

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

       may also generate spurious diagnostics.
