The ./test/links program will create a `links.h5' file that demonstrates hard links, soft links, dangling links, and recursive links. A symbolic link is a symbol table entity and doesn't have an object header. It's format is described in H5.format.hml. ./src/H5G.c ./src/H5Gpublic.h ./src/h5ls.c Implemented H5Gstat() and H5Gget_linkval() as documented by Quincey. The `H5G_type_t type' field of `H5G_stat_t' was changed to `int type' because H5G_type_t was already used and the `type' data type should be open-ended. ./src/H5Ffamily.c Removed an incorrect diagnostic message. ./test/big.c Added read/write calls to test partial I/O to big contiguous datasets. With no arguments it writes to a dataset and prints the list of points written which should be redirected to a file. With an argument (the name of a file containing the stdout of a run with no arguments) values are read from the dataset. One would typically say `big >x && big x'.
This is the hdf5-1.0.0a prototype release of the HDF5 library. This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the documentation, see the RELEASE file in this directory for information specific to this release of the library. The INSTALL file contains instructions on compiling and installing the library. The INSTALL_parallel file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the library. Documentation for this release is in the html directory. Start with the "index.html" in that dictectory. Three mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5 library. hdf5 - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with other users. hdf5dev - For discussion of the HDF5 library development with developers and other interested parties. hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments, not a discussion list. To subscribe to a list, send mail to "<list>-request@ncsa.uiuc.edu", (e.g., hdf5-request@ncsa.uiuc.ed) with "subscribe <your e-mail address> in the _body_ of the message. Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu". Bugs should be reported to: Robb Matzke <matzke@llnl.gov> All types of bugs Quincey Koziol <koziol@ncsa.uiuc.edu> All types of bugs Albert Cheng <acheng@ncsa.uiuc.edu> Parallel bugs Kim Yates <rkyates@llnl.gov> Parallel bugs Paul Harten <pharten@ncsa.uiuc.edu> Bugs specific to ASCI Red or to the hdf5dev mailing list.
