It is this handle that is the client part, - not an internal tiff handle.
Just define any structure you want, fill in the values needed for managing
io, opening files etc, and pass it to TIFFClientOpen() together with
pointers to your own io functions, where the first parameter, thandle_t, is
the handle you supplied to TIFFClientOpen(). In your own io-functions you
just cast the thandle_t parameter to your own struct typedef and use it.
Example reading from memory:
typedef struct {
char *data;
size_t data_size;
size_t io_pos;
} Fm_TiffInfo;
static tsize_t FM_tiffReadProc(thandle_t th, tdata_t buf, tsize_t size)
{
Fm_TiffInfo *fmti = (Fm_TiffInfo *)th;
if (fmti->io_pos + size > fmti->data_size)
size = fmti->data_size - fmti->io_pos;
(void)memcpy(buf, fmti->data + fmti->io_pos, size);
fmti->io_pos += size;
return size;
}
...
Fm_TiffInfo fmti;
fmti.data = data;
fmti.data_size = data_size;
fmti.io_pos = 0;
(void)TIFFSetWarningHandler(FM_tiffWarningHandler);
(void)TIFFSetErrorHandler(FM_tiffErrorHandler);
tif = TIFFClientOpen("dummy", "r", (thandle_t) &fmti,
FM_tiffReadProc, FM_tiffWriteProc,
FM_tiffSeekProc, FM_tiffCloseProc,
FM_tiffSizeProc, FM_tiffMapProc,
FM_tiffUnmapProc);
