CODEC(3TIFF)                                                      CODEC(3TIFF)

NAME
       TIFFFindCODEC,   TIFFRegisterCODEC,  TIFFUnRegisterCODEC,  TIFFIsCODEC-
       Configured - codec-related utility routines

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tiffio.h>

       const TIFFCodec* TIFFFindCODEC(uint16_t scheme);
       TIFFCodec*  TIFFRegisterCODEC(uint16_t  scheme,  const  char   *method,
       TIFFInitMethod init);
       void TIFFUnRegisterCODEC(TIFFCodec *codec);
       int TIFFIsCODECConfigured(uint16_t scheme);

DESCRIPTION
       libtiff  supports a variety of compression schemes implemented by soft-
       ware codecs.  Each codec adheres to a modular interface  that  provides
       for  the  decoding  and  encoding  of image data; as well as some other
       methods for initialization, setup, cleanup, and the control of  default
       strip and tile sizes.  Codecs are identified by the associated value of
       the TIFF Compression tag; e.g. 5 for LZW compression.

       The TIFFRegisterCODEC routine can be used to augment  or  override  the
       set of codecs available to an application.  If the specified scheme al-
       ready has a registered codec then it is overridden and any images  with
       data  encoded  with  this  compression scheme will be decoded using the
       supplied codec.

       TIFFIsCODECConfigured returns 1 if the codec is configured and working.
       Otherwise 0 will be returned.

DIAGNOSTICS
       No  space to register compression scheme %s.  TIFFRegisterCODEC was un-
       able to allocate memory for the data structures needed  to  register  a
       codec.

       Cannot  remove  compression scheme %s; not registered.  TIFFUnRegister-
       CODEC did not locate the specified codec in  the  table  of  registered
       compression schemes.
