It is MIT licensed. + +Handles both ClassicTIFF and BigTIFF, little-endian or big-endian ordered. + +The library does not offer codec facilities (and probably won't). It is mostly +aimed at browsing through the linked chain of Image File Directory (IFD) and +their tags. + +"Offline" tag values are not loaded at IFD opening time, but only upon request, +which helps handling files with tags with an arbitrarily large number of values. + +The library is thread-safe (that is the instances that it returns can be used +from multiple threads), if passed FileReader instances are themselves +thread-safe. + +The library does not throw exceptions (but underlying std library might throw +exceptions in case of out-of-memory situations) + +Optional features: +- define LIBERTIFF_C_FILE_READER before including libertiff.hpp, so that the + libertiff::CFileReader class is available |
