The following routines are provided for client-control of the I/O buffers
used by the library\&. Applications need never use these routines\&. The routines
are provided only for "intelligent clients" that wish to optimize
memory usage and/or eliminate potential copy operations that can occur when
working with images that have data stored without compression\&.

\fBTIFFReadBufferSetup\fR sets up the data buffer used
to read raw (encoded) data from a file\&. If the specified pointer is NULL (zero),
then a buffer of the appropriate size is allocated\&. Otherwise, the caller
must guarantee that the buffer is large enough to hold any individual strip
of raw data\&. \fBTIFFReadBufferSetup\fR returns a non-zero value
if the setup was successful\&.
.PP
\fBTIFFWriteBufferSetup\fR sets up the data buffer used
to write raw (encoded) data to a file\&. If the specified size is -1 then the
buffer size is selected to hold a complete tile or strip, or at least 8 kilobytes,
whichever is greater\&. If the specified buffer is NULL (zero), then a buffer
of the appropriate size is dynamically allocated\&. \fBTIFFWriteBufferSetup\fR returns a non-zero value if the setup was successful\&.
