tiffdumper

Java command line tool (and library as well) for dumping TIFF images. TIFF Java is used for parsing the TIFF image.

Dependencies

Apache Commons-IO is required in any case. If tiffdumper is used as a command line tool then Apache Commons-CLI is also required.

Usage (command line tool)

For your convenience tiffdumper comes in two flavours - as a regular JAR and as a single runnable JAR (called a "fat JAR") that contains all required dependencies. This runnable JAR is very handy if tiffdumper is used as a command line tool because you do not have to specify the Java CLASSPATH with all the required dependencies yourself.

Just invoke the tiffdumper from a command line without any additional parameter to get a list of all available options:

$ java -jar tiffdumper-0.4-all.jar -h
usage: tiffdumper [OPTION]... [FILE]

TIFF-Dumper reads a TIFF file and dumps every tag.

 -f,--file <arg>   output file for the dump
 -h,--help         shows this help
 -q,--quiet        do not show the PCL-Dumper header
 -v,--verbose      show more details

Usage (Java library)

If you want to use tiffdumper in your own code to create TIFF dumps, you need to use the TiffDumperBuilder to build a TiffDumper. Then invoke the method dump of the TiffDumper to create the dump. That's all.

Examples

$ java -jar tiffdumper-0.4-all.jar -q myfile.tif
