From HDF's manpage:
hdf - Hierarchical Data Format library
Description:
HDF is a multi-object file format that facilitates the
transfer of various types of scientific data between
machines and operating systems. Machines currently sup-
ported include the Cray, Convex, HP, Vax, Sun, IBM
RS/6000, Silicon Graphics, Macintosh, and IBM PC comput-
ers. HDF allows self-definitions of data content and easy
extensibility for future enhancements or compatibility
with other standard formats. HDF includes Fortran and C
calling interfaces,and utilities to prepare raw image of
data files or for use with other NCSA software. The HDF
library contains interfaces for storing and retrieving
compressed or uncompressed 8-bit and 24-bit raster images
with palettes, n-Dimensional scientific datasets and
binary tables. An interface is also included that allows
arbitray grouping of other HDF objects.
