hdfpack - compress an HDF file
hdfpack [-i|-b] [-d data-descriptors-per-block] [-t linked-blocks-per-table-entry] input-hdf-file output-hdf-file
hdfpack compresses all of the data in an HDF file and writes the compressed data to a second HDF file.
To compress the data in the file named "aa.hdf" and store the compressed data in the file named "aa.cmp", use the following hdfpack command:
hdfpack aa.hdf aa.cmp
Suppose a file named "bb.hdf" contains data elements stored as sequences of linked blocks. The following hdfpack command compresses the file while leaving the linked-block elements intact, and writes the compressed data to a file named "bb.blk".
hdfpack -b bb.hdf bb.blk
