1Libertiff is a C++11 simple, header-only, TIFF reader. It is MIT licensed.
2
3Handles both ClassicTIFF and BigTIFF, little-endian or big-endian ordered.
4
5The library does not offer codec facilities (and probably won't). It is mostly
6aimed at browsing through the linked chain of Image File Directory (IFD) and
7their tags.
8
9"Offline" tag values are not loaded at IFD opening time, but only upon request,
10which helps handling files with tags with an arbitrarily large number of values.
11
12The library is thread-safe (that is the instances that it returns can be used
13from multiple threads), if passed FileReader instances are themselves
14thread-safe.
15
16The library does not throw exceptions (but underlying std library might throw
17exceptions in case of out-of-memory situations)
18
19Optional features:
20- define LIBERTIFF_C_FILE_READER before including libertiff.hpp, so that the
21  libertiff::CFileReader class is available
