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:

New features and changes in HDF 4.2.5 include:    - SDgetchunkinfo now contains
compression type and compression information.  If a failure occurs while getting
compression information, the associated compression parameters will be set to -1
to indicate that no compression information was retrieved (rather than simply
failing).    - A vgroup name and class name can now be more than the previous
limit of 64 characters.  Two public functions (Vgetnamelen, Vgetclassnamelen)
have been provided for applications to allocate sufficient space for these
items.    - SDreset_maxopenfiles was added to allow users to reset the number of
files that can be open at the same time to the system limit minus 3.    - The -k
flag was added to "hdp dumpsds" to display SDSs in the order they are specified
on the command line.    - The -V option to print the library version string was
added to many tools.    - Many bugs were fixed.    Please see the HDF 4.2.5
release notes for complete details on what has changed in this release:
