Extracts the headers of HDF files in a list and saves them to text files.
| Class: | HDF |
| Intended use: | Recommended for external callers |
| COM: | Exposed as the ExtractHeaderList method of COM class GeoEco.HDF |
| ArcGIS: | Not exposed as an ArcGIS geoprocessing tool |
| Method type: | Classmethod |
| HDF.ExtractHeaderList( | inputFileList, outputFileList[, skipExisting[, overwriteExisting[, basePath]]]) |
| Python type: | list of unicode |
| Minimum length: | 0 |
List of paths of the input HDF files.
At the time this tool was written, two major versions of HDF were under continuing development: HDF, which was at release 4.2r1, and HDF5, which was at release 5-1.6.5. This tool can process HDF files but not HDF5 files. It can also process HDF-EOS, a specialized version of HDF, but not HDF5-EOS.
For more information on HDF formats, please see http://www.hdfgroup.org.
If you provide compressed files in a supported compression format, they will be automatically decompressed. If files are compressed in an archive format (e.g. .zip or .tar), each archive must contain exactly one file, which must not be in a subdirectory.
| Python type: | list of unicode |
| Minimum length: | 0 |
List of paths of the text files to create.
| Python type: | bool |
| Default value: | False |
If True, processing will be skipped for text files that already exist.
| Python type: | bool |
| Default value: | False |
If True and skipExisting is False, existing text files will be overwritten.
| Python type: | unicode or None |
| Default value: | None |
| Minimum length: | 1 |
| Maximum length: | 255 |
| Must exist: | No |
Base path to prepend to relative paths.
If any of the input paths (or output paths, if this method has outputs) contained in the lists are relative paths, they will be converted to absolute paths prior to processing, as follows:
