Section 2: HDF File Organization
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
1. Name and describe the two primary objects that can be stored in an HDF5
|
||||
file:
|
||||
|
||||
2. What is an attribute?
|
||||
|
||||
3. Give the path name for an object called "harry" that is a member of a
|
||||
group called "dick," which in turn is a member of the root group.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Section 3: The HDF5 API
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
Describe the purpose of each of the following HDF5 APIs:
|
||||
|
||||
H5A, H5D, H5E, F5F, H5G, H5T, H5Z
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Section 4: Creating an HDF File
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
1. What two HDF5 routines must be called in order to create an HDF5 file?
|
||||
|
||||
2. What include file must be included in any file that uses the HDF5 library.
|
||||
|
||||
3. An HDF5 file is never completely empty because as soon as an HDF5 file
|
||||
is created, it automatically contains a certain primary object. What is
|
||||
that object?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Section 5: Creating a Dataset
|
||||
=============================
|
||||
|
||||
1. Name and describe two major datatype categories.
|
||||
|
||||
2. List the HDF5 atomic datatypes. Give an example of a predefined datatype.
|
||||
|
||||
3. What does the dataspace describe? What are the major characteristics of the
|
||||
simple dataspace?
|
||||
|
||||
4. What information needs to be passed to the H5Dcreate function, i.e.
|
||||
what information is needed to describe a dataset at creation time?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Section 6: Reading from/Writing to a Dataset
|
||||
============================================
|
||||
|
||||
1. What are six pieces of information which need to be specified for
|
||||
reading and writing a dataset?
|
||||
|
||||
2. Why are both the memory dataspace and file dataspace needed for
|
||||
read/write operations, but only the memory datatype is specified for the
|
||||
datatype?
|
||||
|
||||
3. What does the line DATASPACE { SIMPLE (4 , 6 ) / ( 4 , 6 ) } in Fig 6.1
|
||||
means?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Section 7: Creating an Attribute
|
||||
================================
|
||||
|
||||
1. What is an attribute?
|
||||
|
||||
2. Can partial I/O operations be performed on attributes?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Section 8: Creating a Group
|
||||
===========================
|
||||
|
||||
What are the two primary objects that can be included in
|
||||
a group?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Section 9: Creating Groups using Absolute/Relative Names
|
||||
========================================================
|
||||
|
||||
1. Group names can be specified in two "ways". What are these
|
||||
two types of group names that you can specify?
|
||||
|
||||
2. You have a dataset named "moo" in the group "boo", which is
|
||||
in the group "foo", which in turn, is in the root group. How would
|
||||
you specify an absolute name to access this dataset?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Section 10: Creating Datasets in Groups
|
||||
=======================================
|
||||
|
||||
Describe a way to access the dataset "moo" described in the previous section
|
||||
(Section 9, question 2), using a relative and absolute pathname.
