Host encoding ( HOST_ENCODING) specifies that variable and attribute entry data values be written to the CDF in the native encoding of the computer being used. In addition, the following explicit host encodings are supported:
VAX and microVAX computers running VMS. Double-precision floating-point values are encoded in Digital's D_FLOAT representation.
DEC Alpha computers running OpenVMS. Double-precision floating-point values are encoded in Digital's D_FLOAT representation.
DEC Alpha computers running OpenVMS. Double-precision floating-point values are encoded in Digital's G_FLOAT representation.
Sun computers.
Silicon Graphics Iris and Power Series computers.
DECstation computers.
DEC Alpha computers running OSF/1.
IBM RS6000 series computers.
HP 9000 series computers.
IBM PC personal computers.
NeXT computers.
Macintosh computers.
When HOST_ENCODING is specified, it is translated to the actual host encoding from the above list.
