The HDF_SD_SELECT function returns an SD dataset ID given the current SD interface ID, and the zero-based SD dataset index.

HDF_SD_FILEINFO can be used to determine the number of SD datasets in an HDF file, HDF_SD_REFTOINDEX can be used to find the index from its SD dataset ID, and HDF_SD_NAMETOINDEX can be used to find the index from its name.

Examples


; Open an HDF file:
SDinterface_id = HDF_SD_START('test.hdf')
; Access the first SD in the HDF file:
SDdataset_id_1=HDF_SD_SELECT(SDinterface_id, 0)
; End access to any SD ids:
HDF_SD_ENDACCESS, SDdataset_id_1
; Close the file:
HDF_SD_END, SDinterface_id
