+@HDF5_PACKAGE_NAME@ version @HDF5_PACKAGE_VERSION_STRING@
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This directory contains the binary (release) distribution of
+@HDF5_PACKAGE_NAME@ @HDF5_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR@ that was compiled on;
+ @BINARY_PLATFORM@.
+
+It was built with the following options:
+ -- @LIB_TYPE@ C/C++/Fortran libraries
+ -- SZIP (encoder enabled) and ZLIB
+ -- @LIB_TYPE@ HDF5 tools
+ -- Java @Java_VERSION@
+
+The contents of this directory are:
+
+ COPYING - Copyright notice
+ README.md - This file
+ @HDF5_PACKAGE_NAME@-@HDF5_PACKAGE_VERSION@-@BINARY_SYSTEM_NAME@.@BINARY_INSTALL_ENDING@ - HDF5 Install Package
+
+This binary was built with the ZLIB and SZIP/Libaec external libraries and are
+included for convenience. Libaec is an unrestricted open-source replacement for SZIP
+(version 1.0.4, Encoder ENABLED).
+
+The official ZLIB and SZIP/Libaec pages are at:
+
+ ZLIB: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gzip.git/

+Installation
+===========================================================================
+1. Execute @HDF5_PACKAGE_NAME@-@HDF5_PACKAGE_VERSION@-@BINARY_SYSTEM_NAME@.@BINARY_INSTALL_ENDING@
+2. Follow prompts
+===========================================================================
+
+After Installation
+===========================================================================
+The examples folder, HDF5Examples, located in the
+HDF5 install folder, can be built and tested with CMake and the supplied
+HDF5_Examples.cmake file. The HDF5_Examples.cmake expects HDF5 to have
+been installed in the default location with above compilers (see the
+libhdf5.settings file in the lib install folder). Also, the CMake
+utility should be installed.
+
+To test the installation with the examples;
+ Create a directory to run the examples.
+ Copy HDF5Examples folder to this directory.
+ Copy CTestScript.cmake to this directory.
+ Copy HDF5_Examples.cmake to this directory.
+ Copy HDF5_Examples_options.cmake to this directory.
+ The default source folder is defined as "HDF5Examples". It can be changed
+ with the CTEST_SOURCE_NAME script option.
+ The default installation folder is defined as "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@".
+ It can be changed with the INSTALLDIR script option.
+ The default ctest configuration is defined as "Release". It can be changed
+ with the CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE script option. Note that this must
+ be the same as the value used with the -C command line option.
+ The default build configuration is defined to build and use static libraries.
+ Shared libraries can be used with the STATICONLYLIBRARIES script option set to "NO".
+ Other options can be changed by editing the HDF5_Examples_options.cmake file.
+
+ If the defaults are okay, execute from this directory:
+ ctest -S HDF5_Examples.cmake -C Release -V -O test.log
+ If the defaults need change, execute from this directory:
+ ctest -S HDF5_Examples.cmake,CTEST_SOURCE_NAME=MyExamples,INSTALLDIR=MyLocation -C Release -V -O test.log
+
+When executed, the ctest script will save the results to the log file, test.log, as
+indicated by the ctest command. If you wish the to see more build and test information,
+add "-VV" to the ctest command. The output should show;
+ 100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 156.
+
+For more information see USING_CMake_Examples.txt in the install folder.
