<para><command>&cmd;</command> combines one or more files created according
to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0 into a single TIFF file. The output
file might be compressed using a different algorithm than the input files.
Therefore. <command>&cmd;</command> is most often used to convert between
different compression schemes.</para>
<para>By default, <command>&cmd;</command> copies all of the understood tags
in a TIFF directory of an input file, to the associated directory in the output
file.</para>
<para><command>&cmd;</command> can be used to reorganize the storage characteristics
of data in a file, but is explicitly intended to not alter or convert the
image data content in any way.</para>

<para>The CCITT Group 3 and Group 4 compression algorithms can only be used
with bilevel data.</para>
<para>Group 3 compression can be specified together with several T.4-specific
options:</para>

1-dimensional encoding</para>
</listitem></varlistentry>

2-dimensional encoding</para>
</listitem></varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term><option role="nodash">fill</option></term><listitem><para>
Force each encoded scanline to be zero-filled so that the terminating EOL
code lies on a byte boundary.</para>
</listitem></varlistentry>
</variablelist><para>Group 3-specific options are specified by appending a
colon-separated list to the <option role="nodash">g3</option> option. For
example, specify <option>c</option> <option role="nodash">g3:2d:fill</option>
to get 2D-encoded data with byte-aligned EOL codes.</para>
<para>LZW compression can be specified together with a predictor value. A
predictor value of 2 causes each scanline of the output image to undergo horizontal
differencing before being encoded. A predictor value of 1 forces each scanline
to be encoded without differencing.</para>
<para>LZW-specific options are specified by appending a colon-separated list
to the <option role="nodash">lzw</option> option. For example, specify <option>
c</option> <option role="nodash">lzw:2</option> for LZW compression with horizontal
differencing.</para>
