That's the wrong question, because HDF-EOS files are HDF files, just
in a particular format. The question you probably want the answer to
is "How do I tell whether an HDF file is an HDF-EOS file?".

The simplest way I can think of is to look for an HDF file attribute
named "HDFEOSVersion". It should contain a string like "HDFEOS_V2.9".
