# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make
# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
# leave one space after the ':'.

hdf5: HDF5 (A library and file format for storing scientific data)
hdf5: 
hdf5: HDF5 can store two primary objects: datasets and groups. A dataset is
hdf5: essentially a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is
hdf5: a structure for organizing objects in an HDF5 file. Using these two
hdf5: basic objects, one can create and store almost any kind of scientific
hdf5: data structure, such as images, arrays of vectors, and structured and
hdf5: unstructured grids. You can also mix and match them in HDF5 files
hdf5: according to your needs.
