This operation is done with a lookup table, <I>TIFFBitRevTable</I> which is declared public. A second table, <I>TIFFNoBitRevTable</I> is also declared public; it is a lookup table that can be used as an <I>identity function</I>; i.e. <I>TIFFNoBitRevTable[n] == n</I>. <A NAME="lbAE"> </A> <H2>DIAGNOSTICS</H2> None. <A NAME="lbAF"> </A> <H2>SEE ALSO</H2> <I><A HREF="libtiff.3t.html">libtiff</A></I>(3T), <HR> <A NAME="index"> </A><H2>Index</H2> <DL> <DT><A HREF="#lbAB">NAME</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAC">SYNOPSIS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAD">DESCRIPTION</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAE">DIAGNOSTICS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAF">SEE ALSO</A><DD> </DL> <HR> This document was created by <A HREF="index.html">man2html</A>, using the manual pages.<BR> Time: 01:31:39 GMT, November 23, 1999 </BODY> </HTML>
