This software provides support for the Tag Image File Format (TIFF),
a widely used format for storing image data.

Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for
reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing
simple manipulations of TIFF images on UNIX systems, and documentation
on the library and tools. A small assortment of TIFF-related software
for UNIX that has been contributed by others is also included.

The library is capable of dealing with images that are written to
follow the 5.0 or 6.0 TIFF spec.  There is also considerable support
for some of the more esoteric portions of the 6.0 TIFF spec.

Unless NOPORTDOCS is defined, the html documentations is also
installed locally in /usr/local/share/doc/tiff.
