NAME¶

TIFFClose - close a previously opened TIFF file

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <tiffio.h>

DESCRIPTION¶

TIFFClose() closes a file that was previously opened with TIFFOpen(). Any buffered data are flushed to the file, including the contents of the current directory (if modified); and all resources are reclaimed. TIFFClose() calls TIFFCleanup() and then the associated function to close the file handle.

TIFFCleanup() is an auxiliary function to free the TIFF structure. The given structure will be completely freed, so you should save opened file handle and pointer to the close procedure in external variables before calling TIFFCleanup(), if you will need these ones to close the file.

DIAGNOSTICS¶

All error messages are directed to the TIFFErrorExtR() routine. Likewise, warning messages are directed to the TIFFWarningExtR() routine.
