Alex,

As Ivan mentioned, you can build the hfatest utility in gdal/frmts/hfa and
it is capable of dumping a variety of details about an .aux file.  On
windows you would do:

cd gdal\frmts\hfa
nmake /f makefile.vc hfatest.exe

hfatest.exe -dt abc.aux

It will dump a "tree view" of the internal nodes.

You can also just run gdalinfo against a .aux file and find out some
information.

Best regards,
