including the merge of `hdffv/hdf5/develop`, back to the branch that Vailin and
I share.
Now I need to put this branch on a fork with a less confusing name than
vchoi_fork!
HDFFV-7514 - GMQS: h5dump - improve effectiveness of testing scripts for handling expected output files
Description:
Fist phase for h5dump test update. Next phase will be for h5ls.
This is prerequisite for 'HDFFV-7602 Tools - upgrade tools' test scripts to share test files among tools, providing framework for test file re-usability.'
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE), Cmake (jam)
Users can create external links using H5L_create_external(). These links
point to an object in another HDF5 file. Users can alter the behavior of
external links or create new kinds of links by registering callbacks
using the H5L interface.
Added tests, tools support, etc.
Also a number of other, minor changes have been made (some restructuring of
the H5L interface, for instance).
Additional documentation and examples are forthcoming.
