Support follow symbolic links.
Description:
Merged from hdf5 trunk r18943.
Add '--follow-symlinks' option to follow symbolic links (soft and external).
Update help page according to RM.
Remove some warning messages from compiler.
Tested:
jam
Description: Improved external link traversal of h5dump. h5dump will now
properly avoid all cycles, even those spanning multiple files. Improvement
to the output of committed datatypes. Committed datatypes are now checked
for uniqueness (like other objects). Tests added for these cases.
Tested: kagiso, linew, smirom (h5committest)
Description: Added -E option to h5ls. When set, this alows h5ls to enter
external files (currently only through an external link). The -r option by
itself will no longer allow h5ls to traverse external links.
Tested: kagiso, linew, smirom (h5committest)
Description: Adds capability to h5ls to traverse external links when the -r
(recursive) option is given. Changes to the way absolute path names are patched
in h5trav.c. Changes to the way recursive traversal starting from a non-root
group is handled (which also fixes some preexisting issues). Tests added for
these cases.
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew (h5committest)
