 * hdfsd.c --- support file for HDF.MEX
 *
 * This module supports the HDF SD interface.  The only public
 * function is hdfSD(), which is called by mexFunction().
 * hdfSD looks at the second input argument to determine which
 * private function should get control.
 *
 * Syntaxes
 * ========
 * [name, data_type, count, status] = hdf('SD', 'attrinfo', file_id/sds_id/dim_id, attr_idx)
 * sds_id = hdf('SD', 'create', sd_id, name, data_type, rank, dimsizes)
 * [name,count,data_type,nattrs,status] = hdf('SD', 'diminfo', dim_id)
 * status = hdf('SD', 'end', sd_id)

 * [chunk_lengths,chunked,compressed,status] = hdf('SD', 'getchunkinfo', sds_id)
 *    chunked or compressed will be true (1) if the SDS if chunked or compressed.
 *    compressed will only be true if chunked is also true.
 * [label,unit,format,coordsys,status] = hdf('SD', 'getdatastrs', sds_id, maxlen)
