  Description: 

1. converter

See HDF4 to HDF5 mapping specification at
(http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/papers/h4toh5) for the default mapping 
from HDF4 object to HDF5 object.
 
The whole converter includes 10 files, h4toh5util.h, h4toh5main.h, h4toh5util.c, h4toh5main.c, h4toh5sds.c, h4toh5image.c,h4toh5vdata.c,h4toh5vgroup.c,h4toh5pal.c and h4toh5anno.c.

2. this file 

converting an hdf4 image object into an hdf5 dataset, for three component image, this object will be converted into an hdf5 dataset with compound data type.
