12.2 The HDF Error Reporting API

The HDF error reporting API consists of routines that query error stack information, the names of which are prefaced by "HE". They are described briefly in Table 12A. Some are primarily for use by HDF developers while others are available to HDF users. In this chapter, three error reporting functions are covered: HEprint, HEvalue and HEstring. Note that only one C error reporting routine has a Fortran-77 counterpart: HEprint.
