revised binary flags, added a new file to the test generator program to
be used in the binary tests
usage is now
-o F, --output=F Output raw data into file F
-b F, --binary=F Binary output, of form F (into file -o F).
Recommended usage is with --dataset=P
Form F of binary output is: MEMORY for memory type,
FILE for the disk file type, LE or BE for pre-existing
little or big endian types
example
./h5dump -d integer -b MEMORY -o out.bin tbinary.h5
1. changed the -F flag option names to "BE and "LE" for big and little endian
2. added a more verbose usage message for these options
3. add a new test
4. add a make clean instruction to *.bin
new feature
Description:
added support for h5dump to dump binary data using the file type format
added one test to the test script that tests this
Solution:
Platforms tested:
mir
shanti
copper
Misc. update:
new feature. h5dump output of binary data
Description:
a new switch -b FILE_NAME that dumps the contents of memory data to file FILE_NAME in binary form
new program binread.c that reads the contents of this file and outputs it to stdout
added a test for the h5dump shell script that does a run of -b
the binread.c program reads the data used in this run, usage is ./binread FILE_NAME
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
h5dump new tests
Description:
added more tests for the escape/not escape feature for string data (with vlen, with
compound, with char data)
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
dumper new features
Description:
1) added options for not printing : datasets, groups, datatypes, links
2) added a section for the user block
3) in the traversal routine, added the printing of an arrow for soft links and t
he word HARDLINK for hardlinks
the print of the file contents is made during traversal , instead of at the e
nd of it (this is helpful
for very large files, where the wait time can be very long)
4) changed the description of the fill value properties
5) added a colon after the printing of the array indices
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
AIX
solaris
Misc. update:
h5dump output change, new tests
Description:
the storage layout output format the storage layout output format had some changes
same for the user defined filter
add an option (-y) for not printing the array indices (default is print indices )
the option for escaping non printable characters covers all characters (default is not escape)
(this might be not very portable, the test files are tstring.ddl and tstringe.ddl )
add tests for the new options
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
Description:
added the code for print strings with new line and display the path of references (new source files h5tools_ref.c and .h )
added a test suite in testh5dump.sh.in for
( note : to create testh5dump.sh , one must redo ./configure; this detects the availability of filters
and generates testh5dump.sh accordingly)
1) storage layout
2) fill value
3) print reference with path
4) print strings with new lines
5) filters

Misc. update:
h5dump new version
Description:
added the changes already made for 1.6
support for dumping of
1) filters
2) storage layout
3) fill value
4) comments
5) superblock
6) file contents
7) array indices

Misc. update:
This is an omibus update to the h5dump program.
1. Fixes bug 888
2. updates XML output to 1.6
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
verbena, arabica, copper (64)
Misc. update:
MANIFEST updated
Need to do release notes.
Update
Description:
Fixed description. Should be 1-byte instead of 1-bytes
Platforms tested:
Linux (Small change, no need for full checking)
Misc. update:
Feature Add
Description:
It's now possible to print out characters as actual characters
instead of their decimal equivalent numbers. It's the same thing that
h5ls does. The flag to do this is "--string" or "-r".
Platforms tested:
Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Arabica (Fortran)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
