Hdf-eos5 is a software library designed built on hdf5 to support eos-specific data structures, namely grid, point, and swath. the new data structures are constructed from standard hdf data objects, using eos conventions, through the use of a software library. a key feature of hdf-eos files is that instrument-independent services, such as subsetting by geolocation, can be applied to the files across a wide variety of data products.

this package contains include files and static libraries for hdf-eos5.
