The buffer is raw image data. If your data is 16-bit RGB then it *might* look something like this:

for(c = 0; c < imageWidth; c++)
{
  uint16 red = static_cast<uint16*>(buf)[c*nsamples+0];
  uint16 green = static_cast<uint16*>(buf)[c*nsamples+1];
  uint16 blue = static_cast<uint16*>(buf)[c*nsamples+2];
}

But this makes a lot of assumptions about how the TIFF is written and will only work on a subset of images. Unless you know the files to always have the same structure, you should definitely follow Bob's advice and use a higher level library.
