Chapter 11
Single-file Annotations (DFAN API)
11.1 Chapter Overview
The original HDF annotation tools were the single-file tools that constitute the DFAN interface. These tools, which are used to read and write file and data object annotations, are described in this chapter.
Note that there is a multifile annotations interface, called the AN interface, for dealing with annotations. The AN interface supersedes the DFAN interface and is described in Chapter 10, Annotations (AN API).
