data from one routine to another via the internal ``tif`` storage of the
``libtiff`` library.

:c:func:`TIFFGetClientInfo` returns a pointer to the data of the named entry
in the clientinfo-list. If the *name* is not found ``NULL`` is returned.

:c:func:`TIFFSetClientInfo` adds or replaces an entry in the clientinfo-list
with the *name* and the pointer to the *data* provided by the caller.
