LibTiff Mailing List

I'm using v3.5.4 of libtiff.  The manpage for 
TIFFFdOpen says that I have to give the function the correct
filename and mode the file is opened in.  I can understand the mode is
needed but I do not see why the filename is needed.  

TIFF* TIFFFdOpen(const int fd, const char* filename, const char* mode)

It's similar for the clientopen function.  It's even possible in those
cases that no file exists on disk and never has or will.   What happens if
I just give it some nonexistant filename?

        Arnar.
