+Description
+-----------
+
+:program:`tiffinfo` displays information about files created according

+.. option:: -D
+
+ In addition to displaying the directory tags,
+ read and decompress all the data in each image (but not display it).
+
+.. option:: -d
+
+ In addition to displaying the directory tags,
+ print each byte of decompressed data in hexadecimal.
+
+.. option:: -j
+
+ Display any JPEG-related tags that are present.
+
+.. option:: -o
+
+ Set the initial TIFF directory according to the specified file offset.

+
+ Display the offsets and byte counts for each data strip in a directory.
