NAME

       hdf_set_valuef  - Set the value of a named node

SYNOPSIS

       #include <util/neo_hdf.h>

       NEOERR* hdf_set_valuef (HDF *hdf, const char *fmt, ...)
                               ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF(2,3);

ARGUMENTS

       hdf -> the pointer to the hdf dataset
       fmt -> the name=value printf(3) format string

DESCRIPTION

       hdf_set_valuef  is a convenience function that wraps hdf_set_value.  Due to limitations of
       C, the fmt is in the format "name=value", where we will first format  the  entire  string,
       and  then break it at the first (from the left) equal sign (=) and use the left portion as
       the name and the right portion as the value.  This function  is  somewhat  inefficient  in
       that it first allocates the full name=value, and then the call to hdf_set_value duplicates
       the value portion, and then we free the name=value.  Currently, we don't strip  whitespace
       from the key or value.  In the future, this function might work more like reading a single
       line of an HDF string or file, allowing for attributes and  symlinks  to  be  specified...
       maybe.

RETURN VALUE

       None
