1In this directory there are hdf utility programs, makefiles, and a
2subdirectory, testfiles/, which contains all the data files needed to test
3the utilities.
4
5The utilities are:
6
7    . hdf24to8 -- converts 24-bit raster images to hdf 8-bit images
8
9    . hdfcomp -- re-compresses an 8-bit raster hdf file
10
11    . hdfls -- lists basic information about an hdf file
12
13    . hdfpack --  compacts an hdf file
14
15    . hdftopal -- extracts a palette from an hdf file
16
17    . hdftor8 -- extracts 8-bit raster images and palettes from an
18                 hdf file
19
20    . hdfed -- hdf file editor
21
22    . hdfunpac - unpacks an HDF file by exporting the scientific
23                 data elements (DFTAG_SD) to external object
24                 elements.  This is a utility for external file
25                 handling for the parallel I/O interface on the CM5.
26
27    . paltohdf -- converts a raw palette to hdf
28
29    . r8tohdf -- converts 8-bit raster images to hdf
30
31    . ristosds -- converts a series of raster image hdf files into a
32                  single 3D sds hdf file.
33
34    . vmake -- creates vsets
35
36    . vshow -- dumps out vsets in an hdf file
37
38    . jpeg2hdf -- converts jpeg images to hdf raster images
39
40    . hdf2jpeg -- converts hdf raster images to jpeg images
41
42    . fp2hdf -- converts 2D and 3D floating point data sets into HDF SDS.
