+     "This package provides an S4 interface to the HDF5 library supporting
+fast storage and retrieval of R-objects like vectors, matrices and arrays to
+binary files in a language independent format.  The HDF5 format can therefore
+be used as an alternative to R's save/load mechanism.  Since h5 is able to
+access only subsets of stored data it can also handle data sets which do not
+fit into memory.")
