Purpose
|
Adds a file description to a file.
|
|
Return value
|
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
These annotations are associated with the file, not with any particular object within the file. The parameter description can contain any sequence of ASCII characters. It does not have to be a string. Use the general purpose routines Hopen and Hclose to manage file access as the file annotation routines will not open and close HDF files.

The file identifier returned by Hopen.

A null-terminated string.
|
|
Purpose
|
Writes a file label to a file.

|
Return value
|
Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
These annotations are associated with the file, not with any particular object within the file. The label must be a single string. Use the general purpose routines Hopen and Hclose to manage file access because the file annotation routines will not open and close HDF files for you.
|
|
|
In the FORTRAN-77 version, the string length for the label should be close to the actual expected string length, because in FORTRAN-77 string lengths generally are assumed to be the declared length of the array that holds the string.

Description
|
If isfirst is 0, DFANgetfds gets the next file description from an HDF file. For example, if there are three file descriptions in a file, three successive calls to DFANgetfds will get all three descriptions. If isfirst is 1, DFANgetfds gets the first file description.

Valid values for isfirst are: 1 to read the first description and 0 to read the next description.

Description

When DFANgetfdslen is first called for a given file, it returns the length of the first file description. In order to get the lengths of successive file descriptions, you must call DFANgetfds between calls to DFANgetfdslen. Successive calls to DFANgetfdslen without calling DFANgetfds between them will return the length of the same file description.

Valid values for isfirst are: 1 to read the length of the first description and 0 to read the length of the next description.

Description
|
If isfirst is 0, DFANgetfid gets the next file label from the file. If isfirst is 1, DFANgetfid gets the first file label in the file. If buf_len is not large enough, the label is truncated to buf_len-1 characters in the buffer label_buf.

Description

When DFANgetfidlen is first called for a given file, it returns the length of the first file label. In order to retrieve the lengths of successive file labels, DFANgetfid must be called between calls to DFANgetfidlen. Otherwise, successive calls to DFANgetfidlen will return the length of the same file label.

Purpose
|
Returns a list of all reference numbers and labels (if labels exist) for a given tag.
|
|
Return value
|
Returns the number of reference numbers found if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
|
|
Description
|
Entries are returned from the start_pos entry up to the list_len entry.
|
|
|
The list_len determines the number of available entries in the reference number and label lists, label_len is the maximum length allowed for a label, and start_pos tells which label to start reading for the given tag. (If start_pos is 1, for instance, all labels will be read; if start_pos is 4, all but the first 3 labels will be read.) The ref_list contains a list of reference numbers for all objects with a given tag. The label_list contains a corresponding list of labels, if any. If there is no label stored for a given object, the corresponding entry in label_list is an empty string.
|
|
|
Taken together, the ref_list and label_list constitute a directory of all objects and their labels (where they exist) for a given tag. The label_list parameter can display all of the labels for a given tag. Or it can be searched to find the reference number of a data object with a certain label. Once the reference number for a given label is found, the corresponding data object can be accessed by invoking other HDF routines. Therefore, this routine provides a mechanism for the direct access to data objects in HDF files.
