  • NAME
      hdfpack - compress an HDF file
  • SYNOPSIS
      hdfpack [-i|-b] [-d data-descriptors-per-block] [-t linked-blocks-per-table-entry] input-hdf-file output-hdf-file
  • DESCRIPTION
      hdfpack compresses all of the data in an HDF file and writes the compressed data to a second HDF file.
  • OPTIONS
      -b
      Non-coalesced Blocks.  hdfpack will not coalesce linked-block elements.
      -i
      Interactive Mode.  hdfpack will prompt for each linked-block element.
      -d num
      Write an output file with the specified number of data descriptors per block of data descriptors.
      -t num
      Write an output file with the specified number of linked blocks per table entry.
  • EXAMPLES
      To compress the data in the file named "aa.hdf" and store the compressed data in the file named "aa.cmp", use the following hdfpack command:
      
      
              hdfpack aa.hdf aa.cmp
      
      
      Suppose a file named "bb.hdf" contains data elements stored as sequences of linked blocks. The following hdfpack command compresses the file while leaving the linked-block elements intact, and writes the compressed data to a file named "bb.blk".
      
      
              hdfpack -b bb.hdf bb.blk
