hdf4MapReader is a multi OS command line tool that uses xml metadata maps to extract information from HDF files.

The main goal of the HDF-map project is data preservation to ensure that scientific data stored in HDF4 files will be accessible in the future without relaying on a specific API or platform. This is being addressed using XML map-files to represent relevant information of an HDF4 file and its content in a structured way.

Usage: ./hdf4MapReader -f [filename] -l|-e [HDF_object]
[filename]: a Valid XML map file
-e: extract the object(s)
-l: list the object(s)
[HDF_object]: VData, SDS, RIS, MDATA, ALL"
