NAME

       TIFFFieldPassCount - get whether to pass a count to TIFFGetField/TIFFSetField

SYNOPSIS

          #include <tiffio.h>

       int TIFFFieldPassCount(const TIFFField *fip)

DESCRIPTION

       TIFFFieldPassCount()  returns true (nonzero) if TIFFGetField() and TIFFSetField() expect a count value to
       be passed before the actual data pointer.

       fip  is  a  field  information  pointer  previously  returned  by  TIFFFindField(),   TIFFFieldWithTag(),
       TIFFFieldWithName().

       When a count is required, it will be of type uint32_t if TIFFFieldReadCount() reports TIFF_VARIABLE2, and
       of type uint16_t otherwise.  (This distinction is critical for use of TIFFGetField(), but normally not so
       for use of TIFFSetField().)

RETURN VALUES

       TIFFFieldPassCount() returns an integer that is always 1 (true) or 0 (false).
