NAME
TIFFGetBitRevTable, TIFFReverseBits, TIFFSwabShort, TIFFSwabLong, TIFFSwabArrayOfShort, TIFFSwabArrayOfLong - byte- and bit-swapping routines
SYNOPSIS
#include <tiffio.h>
const unsigned char TIFFGetBitRevTable(int reversed)*
void TIFFReverseBits(u_char **/data/, unsigned long nbytes)*
void TIFFSwabShort(uint16_t **/data/)*
void TIFFSwabLong(uint32_t **/data/)*
void TIFFSwabArrayOfShort(uint16_t **/data/, unsigned long
nshorts)*
void TIFFSwabArrayOfLong(uint32_t **/data/, unsigned long nlongs)*
DESCRIPTION
The following routines are used by the library to swap 16- and 32-bit data and to reverse the order of bits in bytes.
TIFFSwabShort and TIFFSwabLong swap the bytes in a single 16-bit and 32-bit item, respectively. TIFFSwabArrayOfShort and TIFFSwabArrayOfLong swap the bytes in an array of 16-bit and 32-bit items, respectively.
TIFFReverseBits replaces each byte in data with the equivalent bit-reversed value. This operation is performed with a lookup table, which is returned using the TIFFGetBitRevTable function. reversed parameter specifies which table should be returned. Supply 1 if you want bit reversal table. Supply 0 to get the table that do not reverse bit values. It is a lookup table that can be used as an identity function; i.e. TIFFNoBitRevTable[n] == n.
DIAGNOSTICS
None.
