Hi Phil,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I am using sxiv tool in ubantu.

I need to add new IFD entry/Tag ID as part of my study. For this, I need to understand how IFDs and Data are stored in memory from the existing libtiff source code.

Much appreciated if you provide any documents for memory management of IFDs using libtiff.

Thanks,
Bhaskar.

I need to know how IFD's are arranged in memory.

You can use the ExifTool -htmldump feature to see how the IFD's are organized in an image. Here is an example of this for a JPEG image, showing the TIFF IFD's of the EXIF information:
