NAME

       hdf_get_copy  - Returns a copy of a string in the HDF data set

SYNOPSIS

       #include <util/neo_hdf.h>

       NEOERR* hdf_get_copy (HDF *hdf, const char *name, char **value,
                             const char *defval);

ARGUMENTS

       hdf -> the dataset node to start from
       name -> the name to walk the data set to
       defval -> the default value to return if the node doesn't
       exist

DESCRIPTION

       hdf_get_copy is similar to hdf_get_value, except that it returns an malloc'd copy of the string.

RETURN VALUE

       value -> the allocated string (if defval = NULL, then value
       will be NULL if defval is used)
