Summary     : A general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data
Description :
HDF is a general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data.
HDF can store two primary objects: datasets and groups. A dataset is
essentially a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is a
structure for organizing objects in an HDF file. Using these two basic
objects, one can create and store almost any kind of scientific data
structure, such as images, arrays of vectors, and structured and unstructured
grids. You can also mix and match them in HDF files according to your needs.

Update Information:

Important new features and changes in this release include:

 o VSgetexternalfile and SDgetexternalfile were superseded by VSgetexternalinfo and SDgetexternalinfo because their prototypes were missing the parameter "length" for the external data length.
 o The Fortran wrappers vfgvgroups and vsfgvdatas have been added for Vgetvgroups and VSgetvdatas, respectively.
 o Numerous bug fixes were made.

Please be sure to see the HDF 4.2.7 Release Notes for complete details on what has changed in this release:
