HDF Library

Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) Library

HDF is a library and platform independent data format for the storage and 
exchange of scientific data. It includes Fortran and C calling interfaces, 
and utilities for analyzing and converting HDF data files. 

HDF is developed and supported by NCSA, and is available in the public domain. 
There are two HDF formats, HDF (4.x and previous releases) and HDF5. They 
are located in the following directories: 


HDF 
      64-bit: /afs/ncsa.uiuc.edu/packages/hdf/IRIX64_6.5 
      32-bit: /afs/ncsa.uiuc.edu/packages/hdf/IRIX64-n32_6.5 

HDF5 
      64-bit: /afs/ncsa.uiuc.edu/packages/hdf5/IRIX64_MIPS4_6.5 
      32-bit: /afs/ncsa.uiuc.edu/packages/hdf5/IRIX64_n32_6.5 

See the README file in the directories listed above for information on how 
to compile and link with the HDF library. 

The HDF home page is located at hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu.
