EXAMPLES

A file called "aa.hdf" contains three items associated with a raster image; the image dimensions, a palette, and the raster image. To display information about the contents of this file, the following command is used. hdfls aa.hdf The following output is displayed:

aa.hdf:

Image Dimensions-8: (Raster-8): (tag 200)

Ref nos: 1

Image Palette-8: (Raster-8): (tag 201)

Ref nos: 3

Raster Image-8: (Raster-8): (tag 202)

Ref nos: 1

The following displays the same information with the length of each data element: hdfls -l aa.hdf This would result in the following information being displayed:

aa.hdf:

Image Dimensions-8: (Raster-8) : (tag 200)

Ref no 1 4 bytes

Image Palette-8: (Raster-8) : (tag 201)

Ref no 3 768 bytes

Raster Image-8: (Raster-8) : (tag 202)
