<p><b>Note:</b> The alpha version of the library does not contain

<p><b>Note:</b> The HDF5 library contains a deliberately limited
set of conversion routines. It can convert from one integer
format to another, from one floating point format to another,
and from one struct to another. It can also perform byte
swapping when the source and destination types are otherwise
the same. The library does not contain any functions for
converting data between integer and floating point formats.
It is anticipated that some users will find it necessary to
develop float to integer or integer to float conversion functions
at the application level; if they wish, users are invited to
submit those functions to be considered for inclusion in future
versions of the library.
