4.3 hdf2sdds

• description: Converts Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) to SDDS.
• example:

  hdf2sdds data.hdf data.sdds -withIndex

• synopsis:

  hdf2sdds [HDFfile] [SDDSfile] [-pipe[=out]] [-query] [-ascii] [-binary] [-withIndex] [-reduceFactor=integer[,keep=interger]] [-3doutput]

• files:

  HDFfile is the filename of the HDF file.

  SDDSfile is the SDDS output that is created.

• switches:
  • -pipe[=out] — The standard SDDS Toolkit pipe option.
  • -query — Print out the names of the groups and datasets in the HDF file.
  • -ascii — Requests that the output be ASCII.
  • -binary — Requests that the output be binary.
  • -withIndex — An index column is added to the output file.
  • -reduceFactor=integer[,keep=interger] — Write the first keepth value of every reduceFactor values in order to reduce the size of ouput file. The attributes are written to the output file by their originial data types.
  • -3doutput — Used to convert 3-dimensional HDF data.
