<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Make defer
strile offset/bytecount loading available at runtime and add
per−strile offset/bytecount loading capabilities. Part
of this commit makes the behaviour that was previously met
when <b>libtiff</b> was compiled with
<b>−DDEFER_STRILE_LOAD</b> available for default
builds.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">When specifying
the new <b>D</b> (Deferred) <i>TIFFOpen()</i> flag, the
loading of strile offset/bytecount is defered. In that mode,
the <b>StripOffsets</b> / <b>StripByteCounts</b> or
<b>TileOffsets</b> / <b>TileByteCounts</b> arrays are only
loaded when first accessed. This can speed−up the
opening of files stored on the network when just metadata
retrieval is needed.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Another
addition is the capability of loading only the values of the
offset/bytecount of the strile of interest instead of the
whole array. This is enabled with the new <b>O</b>
(Ondemand) flag of <i>TIFFOpen()</i> (which implies
<b>D</b>).</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The public
<i>TIFFGetStrileOffset()</i>,
<i>TIFFGetStrileOffsetWithErr()</i>,
<i>TIFFGetStrileByteCount()</i> and
<i>TIFFGetStrileByteCountWithErr()</i> functions have been
added to API. They are of particular interest when using
sparse files (with <b>offset == bytecount == 0</b>) and you
want to detect if a strile is present or not without
decompressing the data, or updating an existing sparse
file.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>TIFFGetStrileByteCount()</i>
returns the value of the TileByteCounts / StripByteCounts
array for the specified tile/strile.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>TIFFGetStrileByteCountWithErr()</i>
additionally provides <i>pbErr</i> as an <i>int</i> pointer
to an error return variable, which is set to "0"
for successful return or to "1" for an error
return.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>TIFFGetStrileOffset()</i>
returns the value of the TileOffsets / StripOffsets array
for the specified tile/strile.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>TIFFGetStrileOffsetWithErr()</i>
additionally provides <i>pbErr</i> as an <i>int</i> pointer
to an error return variable, which is set to "0"
for successful return or to "1" for an error
return.</p>
<h2>DIAGNOSTICS
<a name="DIAGNOSTICS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">All error
messages are directed to the <i>TIFFErrorExtR()</i> routine.
Likewise, warning messages are directed to the
<i>TIFFWarningExtR()</i> routine.</p>
<h2>NOTE
<a name="NOTE"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">This
functionality was introduced with libtiff 4.1.</p>
