<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> will write the contents of the
current directory to the file and setup to create a new
subfile in the same file. Applications only need to call
<i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> when writing multiple subfiles to
a single <small>TIFF</small> file. <i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i>
is automatically called by <i>TIFFClose</i> and
<i>TIFFFlush</i> to write a modified directory if the file
is open for writing.</td></table>

<table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void"
       cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr valign="top" align="left">
<td width="10%"></td><td width="90%">
The <i>TIFFRewriteDirectory</i> function operates similarly
to <i>TIFFWriteDirectory,</i> but can be called with
directories previously read or written that already have an
established location in the file. It will rewrite the
directory, but instead of place it at it's old location (as
<i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> would) it will place them at the
end of the file, correcting the pointer from the preceeding
directory or file header to point to it's new location. This
is particularly important in cases where the size of the
directory and pointed to data has grown, so it won't fit in
the space available at the old location.</td></table>

<table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void"
       cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr valign="top" align="left">
<td width="10%"></td><td width="90%">
The <i>TIFFCheckpointDirectory</i> writes the current state
of the tiff directory into the file to make what is
currently in the file readable. Unlike
<i>TIFFWriteDirectory, TIFFCheckpointDirectory</i> does not
free up the directory data structures in memory, so they can
be updated (as strips/tiles are written) and written again.
Reading such a partial file you will at worst get a tiff
read error for the first strip/tile encountered that is
incomplete, but you will at least get all the valid data in
the file before that. When the file is complete, just use
<i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> as usual to finish it off
cleanly.</td></table>

1 is returned when the contents are successfully written to
the file. Otherwise, 0 is returned if an error was
