h5diff and h5repack changes
Description:
h5diff
introduced the following four modes of output:
Normal mode: print the number of differences found and where they occured
Report mode: print the above plus the differences
Verbose mode: print the above plus a list of objects and warnings
Quiet mode: do not print output (h5diff always returns an exit code of 1 when differences are found)
h5repack
added an extra parameter for SZIP filter (coding method)
the new syntax is
-f SZIP=<pixels per block,coding>
(pixels per block is a even number in 2-32 and coding method is 'EC' or 'NN')
Example of use:
./h5repack -i file1 -o file2 -f SZIP=8,NN -v
updated usage messages, test scripts and files accordingly
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
bug fix, new feature
Description:
fixed bug in the parse function:
cases where we have an already inserted name but there is a new name also
example:
-f dset1:GZIP=1 -l dset1,dset2:CHUNK=20x20
dset1 is already inserted, but dset2 must also be (it was not)
added a CHECK_SZIP symbol to enable/disable checking of library related szip parameters
added the print of the filter name in verbose mode (confirms visually that the filter was applied )

linux

solaris
Misc. update:
h5repack changes
Description:
there were some requests to change some minor h5repack features
h5repack only made a warning about a non available filter in verbose mode ( -v )
without -v it kept silent, and users sometimes missed this warning
the request was that it should print this warning always. so, the new format, is e.g
./h5repack -i test_szip.h5 -o out.h5
Warning: dataset </dset_szip> cannot be read, SZIP filter is not available
due to this, and to avoid a lot of these messages in the shell test script, I modified
the script h5repack.sh so that it detects the presence of all filters in the environment
(previously it only detected SZIP)
the test files were also divided in more files , to make the script code easier to
follow
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
AIX (without SZIP)
solaris (without gzip and SZIP)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Handled SZIP without the encoder present.
Description:
It is now an error for a user to try to create, extend, or write to a
dataset without the encoder present in their SZIP library.
Added H5Zget_filter_info to provide users with a way to query HDF5
about the presence (or lack thereof) of the SZIP encoder.
Platforms tested:
Windows
Verbena
Arabica
Copper
Misc. update:
h5repack in 1.6
Description:
2 functions we re added to /src:
H5Premove filter and H5Iget_file_id
