How do I report a bug

All bug reports, comments, suggestions and questions should go to the HDF Helpdesk:

Attached below is a bug report template. It is not necessary to use this template, but it shows what is helpful to us in reproducing a problem.

------------------  Template for bug report  ------------------------

VERSION:
   HDF5-N.N.N

USER:
   [Name and Email Address]

SYNOPSIS:
   [Brief description of the problem] 

MACHINE / OPERATING SYSTEM:
   [Platform and platform version. On Unix platforms please include
    the output from "uname -a"]

COMPILER:
   [The compiler and compiler version used]

DESCRIPTION:
   [Detailed description of problem]

REPEAT BUG BY:
   [What you did to get the error; include test program or session
    transcript if at all possible.  If you include a program, make
    sure it depends only on libraries in the HDF distribution, not
    on any vendor or third-party libraries.  Please be specific;
    if we can't reproduce it, we can't fix it. Tell us exactly what
    we should see when the program is run.  NOTE:  It helps us if 
    the example program is written in C and can be run easily on Unix]

SAMPLE FIX:
   [Fix or patch, if you have one]
