It all depends upon what type of data model was used in creating the
HDF file. Most likely the scientific data model, but it could be
any one of 8 data models. Here is a helpful list from the on-line
documentation along with the routine prefixes used to access the data...

24-bit raster HDF_DF24_
annotation data HDF_DFAN_
palette data HDF_DFP_
8-bit raster HDF_DFR8_
scientific data HDF_DFSD_
multi-file scientific data HDF_SD_
VData HDF_VD_
VGroup HDF_VG_

'Hope this helps.
