Follow-up Comment #3, patch #8513 (project octave):

> You can find more information about SRTM format in the following link:

This link suggests that that there is no SRTM format, that is the name of the
mission (and data that the mission collected). It does mention however that
it's mainly distributed as hgt file format

> The elevation models derived from the SRTM data are used in Geographic
> Information Systems. They can be downloaded freely over the Internet, and
> their file format (.hgt) is supported by several software developments.

However the external links of that page suggest that you can have the
data on many other file formats. Is your implementation supposed to read
hft files? Because it seems to simple to handle that format.
