<h1>HDF5 Technical Notes</h1>
<h3>Technical Notes for HDF5 Library and Driver Developers</h3>
</center>
<center>
<table border=0 width=85%>
<tr><td valign=top colspan=3>
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(Some of these documents may be somewhat out of date as they were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.)
