+HDF5's main features are the ability to store and access very large and/or
+complex datasets and a wide variety of metadata on mass storage (disk) through
+a completely portable file format.  The rhdf5 package is thus suited for the
+exchange of large and/or complex datasets between R and other software
+package, and for letting R applications work on datasets that are larger than
+the available RAM.")
