<p><i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> will write the contents of the
current directory to the file and setup to create a new
subfile in the same file. Applications only need to call
<i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> when writing multiple subfiles to
a single <small>TIFF</small> file. <i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i>
is automatically called by <i>TIFFClose</i> and
<i>TIFFFlush</i> to write a modified directory if the file
is open for writing.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>The <i>TIFFRewriteDirectory</i> function operates
similarly to <i>TIFFWriteDirectory,</i> but can be called
with directories previously read or written that already
have an established location in the file. It will rewrite
the directory, but instead of place it at it’s old
location (as <i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> would) it will place
them at the end of the file, correcting the pointer from the
preceeding directory or file header to point to it’s
new location. This is particularly important in cases where
the size of the directory and pointed to data has grown, so
it won’t fit in the space available at the old
location.</p>
<!-- INDENTATION -->
<p>The <i>TIFFCheckpointDirectory</i> writes the current
state of the tiff directory into the file to make what is
currently in the file readable. Unlike
<i>TIFFWriteDirectory, TIFFCheckpointDirectory</i> does not
free up the directory data structures in memory, so they can
be updated (as strips/tiles are written) and written again.
Reading such a partial file you will at worst get a tiff
read error for the first strip/tile encountered that is
incomplete, but you will at least get all the valid data in
the file before that. When the file is complete, just use
<i>TIFFWriteDirectory</i> as usual to finish it off
cleanly.</p>
