Applications only need to call <i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> when writing multiple subfiles to a single <small>TIFF</small> file. <i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> is automatically called by <i>TIFFClose</i> and <i>TIFFFlush</i> to write a modified directory if the file is open for writing.</p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p>The <i>TIFFRewriteDirectory</i> function operates similarly to <i>TIFFWriteDirectory,</i> but can be called with directories previously read or written that already have an established location in the file. It will rewrite the directory, but instead of place it at it’s old location (as <i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> would) it will place them at the end of the file, correcting the pointer from the preceding directory or file header to point to it’s new location. This is particularly important in cases where the size of the directory and pointed to data has grown, so it won’t fit in the space available at the old location.</p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p>The <i>TIFFCheckpointDirectory</i> writes the current state of the tiff directory into the file to make what is currently in the file readable. Unlike <i>TIFFWriteDirectory, TIFFCheckpointDirectory</i> does not free up the directory data structures in memory, so they can be updated (as strips/tiles are written) and written again. Reading such a partial file you will at worst get a tiff read error for the first strip/tile encountered that is incomplete, but you will at least get all the valid data in the file before that. When the file is complete, just use <i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> as usual to finish it off cleanly.</p> </td> </table> <a name="RETURN VALUES"></a> <h2>RETURN VALUES</h2> <!-- INDENTATION --> <table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void" cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="8%"></td> <td width="91%"> <p>1 is returned when the contents are successfully written to the file.
