  28. .B "#include <tiffio.h>"
  29. .sp
  30. .BI "int TIFFFieldPassCount(const TIFFField* " fip ")"
  31. .SH DESCRIPTION
  32. .BR TIFFFieldPassCount
  33. returns true (nonzero) if
  34. .BR TIFFGetField
  35. and
  36. .BR TIFFSetField
  37. expect a
  38. .I count
  39. value to be passed before the actual data pointer.
  40. .P
  41. .I fip
  42. is a field information pointer previously returned by
  43. .BR TIFFFindField ,
  44. .BR TIFFFieldWithTag ,
  45. or
  46. .BR TIFFFieldWithName .
  47. .P
  48. When a
  49. .I count
  50. is required, it will be of type
  51. .BR uint32_t
  52. when
  53. .BR TIFFFieldReadCount
  54. reports
  55. .BR TIFF_VARIABLE2 ,
  56. and of type
  57. .BR uint16_t
  58. otherwise. (This distinction is critical for use of
