## NAME

| TIFFReadRawStrip − return the undecoded contents of a strip of data from an open TIFF file

## SYNOPSIS

| #include <tiffio.h> tsize_t TIFFReadRawStrip(TIFF *tif, tstrip_t strip, tdata_t buf, tsize_t size)

## DESCRIPTION

| Read the contents of the specified strip into the (user supplied) data buffer. Note that the value of strip is a ‘‘raw strip number.’’ That is, the caller must take into account whether or not the data is organized in separate planes (PlanarConfiguration=2). To read a full strip of data the data buffer should typically be at least as large as the number returned by TIFFStripSize.

## RETURN VALUES

| The actual number of bytes of data that were placed in buf is returned; TIFFReadRawStrip returns −1 if an error was encountered.

## DIAGNOSTICS

| All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3TIFF) routine.
