Name : hdf Product : Fedora 10 Version : 4.2r4 Release : 1.fc10 URL : http://hdfgroup.org/products/hdf4/index.html 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: Update to 4.2r4 - Added new API SDgetdatasize to retrieve the compressed and original sizes of an SDS' data. - The following Fortran APIs were added in this release: sfgetname sfgetnamelen sfgmaxopenf sfgnumopenf sfrmaxopenf sfidtype sfgnvars_byname sfn2indices - hrepack output now includes dataset compression ratios. - hdp now displays various parameters of Gzip, Szip, and Skipping Huffman compressions when a dataset is compressed. - hrepack previously failed to preserve unlimited dataset dimensions; they are now preserved. - SDreaddata now checks for out-of- range values in the parameter 'stride' and fails when invalid values are given. - Reading a record variable using nc API fills the buffer with fill values up to the maximum number of records of all unlimited dimension variables in the file, as in netCDF. It used to fail before. - When the file name is too long, some SD APIs caused a segmentation fault. This problem is now fixed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Feb 25 2009 Orion Poplawski <[email protected]> 4.2r4-1 - Update to 4.2r4 - Add patch to increase buffer size in test - Drop upstreamed libm patch * Tue Feb 24 2009 Fedora Release Engineering <[email protected]> - 4.2r3-5 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
