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 sym-
       links to be specified...  maybe.

RETURN VALUE
       None
