This informal volume of technical notes is of interest to
|
|
those who develop and maintain the HDF5 library and
|
|
related, closely-coupled drivers.
|
|
These notes are not generally of interest to applications developers
|
|
and certainly not of interest to users.
|
|
(Some of these documents may be somewhat out of date as they were
|
|
working papers for the design process.)
