Purpose:
H5Pset_szip -- major rewrite
H5Dcreate -- added a note regarding SZIP
Description:
H5Pset_szip -- Rrestructured and rewrote H5Pset_szip Description and
Notes to explain SZIP usage more completely, to capture limitations
and potential pitfalls, to offer a tunign suggestion, and to
segregate discussion of SZIP parameters that may be of interest to
users familiar with SZIP in other environments.
Updated parameter discussion in Description and Parameter sections.
Described ways in which erroneous SZIP setup can cause H5Dcreate
to fail.
H5Dcreate -- Added note to see the H5Pset_szip RM entry if H5Dcreate
fails and SZIP compression is to be used with the dataset.
Platforms tested:
Mozilla
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: H5_SZIP_CHIP_OPTION_MASK was deleted from the list
of the available parameters for the H5Pset_szip function.
Solution: Updated Fortran source, tests and documentation
to reflect this change.
Platforms tested: arabica (too small for h5committest)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
To more carefully describe the behavior of H5Pset_external.
Description:
Add notes that first H5Pset_external call sets the dataset as EXTERNAL
and identifies the first file in the series of external files that
will hold the dataset; subsequent calls identify additional files;
all external files must be declared before the dataset is created;
and the library will create files that don't yet exist on the system
at the time that H5Dwrite is called to write data to that file.
Also a few copy edits.
Platforms tested:
Mozilla
Purpose:
Bugfix and clarification
Description:
H5Pget_driver -- removed H5FD_DPSS from valid drivers list;
DPSS is long gone.
H5Pset_shuffle -- clarified value and use of shuffle filter.
Platforms tested:
Mozilla
Purpose:
Bugfix: Bugzilla #66
Solution:
H5Pset_szip -- Corrected the plist parameter description.
Since this property can be set only in the dataset
creation property list, changed the parameter description
from
Dataset creation or dataset transfer property list identifier.
to
Dataset creation property list identifier.
Fixes Bugzilla bug #66.
Platforms tested:
