# lightcraft-tiff (L0)
|
||
|
||
TIFF / IFD reader and writer. Used by `lightcraft-raw` (DNG, CR2, NEF, ARW…), `lightcraft-meta` (Exif) and
|
||
later the TIFF/DNG exporters.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- Classic TIFF and BigTIFF, little- and big-endian (`II`/`MM`). Also accepts the TIFF-like magic numbers of
|
||
some raw formats (ORF `IIRO`/`IIRS`, RW2 `IIU`) when `ParseOptions::accept_raw_magic` is set (default).
|
||
- Every field type: BYTE, ASCII, SHORT, LONG, RATIONAL, SBYTE, UNDEFINED, SSHORT, SLONG, SRATIONAL, FLOAT,
|
||
DOUBLE, IFD, LONG8, SLONG8, IFD8.
|
||
- IFD chain + `SubIFDs` (330) + Exif (34665) / GPS (34853) / Interoperability (40965) pointer IFDs, resolved
|
||
into a tree (`Ifd::sub_ifds`, `exif`, `gps`, `interop`). `Entry::offset` records the absolute position of
|
||
each value (needed for maker notes and embedded blobs).
|
||
- `parse_ifd_at(data, offset, order, base, bigtiff, opts)` parses an IFD whose offsets are relative to an
|
||
arbitrary base; `makernote::parse_makernote` knows the header / byte-order / offset-base conventions of
|
||
Canon, Nikon (types 1 and 3), Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus (old and new), Panasonic and Pentax notes.
|
||
- `image::ImageInfo` — width/height, bits, samples, compression, photometric, planar config, predictor,
|
||
sample format and the strip or tile chunk list (`chunks()`, `chunk_bytes()`); missing byte counts are
|
||
inferred.
|
||
- `directory_entries`, `entry_span`, `ParseOptions::budget_for` and `decode_value` are the reader's own rules
|
||
(directory layout and entry limit, which entries it reads, its value budget, value decoding), for callers that
|
||
must select entries exactly as `parse_ifd_at` would without decoding the whole directory (`lightcraft-raw`'s
|
||
Sony `SR2Private` lookup).
|
||
- `TiffWriter` writes IFD chains with strips or tiles, `SubIFDs` and pointer IFDs, in either byte order,
|
||
classic or BigTIFF; `writer::rational` / `srational` approximate floats as rationals.
|
||
|
||
## Robustness
|
||
|
||
The reader never panics on malformed input (proptests feed random and mutated files): offsets are
|
||
bounds-checked; out-of-range or unknown-type entries are skipped; IFD loops are detected; IFD count,
|
||
nesting depth and entries per IFD are limited; at most 65,536 directory entry slots
|
||
(`ParseOptions::max_entries_total`) are accepted across the main IFD chain and all child IFDs, even when tables
|
||
overlap at distinct offsets, and an IFD past that bound ends the chain or is skipped like any other bad IFD after
|
||
the first; a next-IFD pointer is followed only when every declared entry was read, with the counts compared as
|
||
64-bit numbers (a BigTIFF declaring 4,294,967,297 entries but holding one can't pass for a whole directory on a
|
||
32-bit target); the total bytes of decoded values are capped at
|
||
`8 × input + 1 MiB` so a file cannot make us allocate far more than its own size.
