h4fileh4toh5
is a file conversion utility that reads
an HDF4 file, h4file (input.hdf
for example),
and writes an HDF5 file, h5file (output.h5
for example), containing the same data.
If no output file h5file is specified,
h4toh5
uses the input filename to designate
the output file, replacing the extension .hdf
with .h5
.
For example, if the input file scheme3.hdf
is
specified with no output filename, h4toh5
will
name the output file scheme3.h5
.
The -h
option causes a syntax summary
similar to the following to be displayed:
h4toh5 inputfile.hdf outputfile.h5 h4toh5 inputfile.hdf
Each object in the HDF4 file is converted to an equivalent HDF5 object, according to the mapping described in Mapping HDF4 Objects to HDF5 Objects.
h4toh5
converts the following HDF4 objects:
HDF4 Object | Resulting HDF5 Object |
---|---|
SDS | Dataset |
GR, RI8, and RI24 image | Dataset |
Vdata | Dataset |
Vgroup | Group |
Annotation | Attribute |
Palette | Dataset |
h4toh5
and h5toh4
utilities
are no longer part of the HDF5 product;
they are distributed separately through the page
Converting between HDF (4.x) and HDF5.
