./src/H5Cprivate.h Changed H5Csetparm() to H5Cset_prop() and changed it to pass property values by value instead of reference. Changed H5Cgetparm() to H5Cget_prop(). Changed data types of file creation properties so the application can use `int' or `size_t' for most properties. Properties and their types are documented in H5Cget_prop(). Changed H5C_class() to H5Cget_class() to make the naming more uniform across packages. ./src/H5Cpublic.h Changed names of properties to make them more uniform across packages: H5F_USERBLOCK_SIZE became H5F_SIZEOF_USERBLOCK, H5F_OFFSET_SIZE became H5F_SIZEOF_ADDR, H5F_LENGTH_SIZE became H5F_SIZEOF_SIZE. ./src/H5D.c ./src/H5Dprivate.h Added support for chunked data storage. There still isn't any support for data type conversion or data space conversion, so chunked storage doesn't do much at this time. ./src/H5E.c ./src/H5Epublic.h Added the H5E_TEMPLATE major error number. I'm about the change the HGOTO_ERROR() and HRETURN_ERROR() macros to take an error string as an additional argument instead of specifying it as a comment. ./src/H5Fistore.c Added `const' to the `buf' argument of H5F_istore_write() although this temporarily causes a compiler warning. ./src/H5Fprivate.h Changed data types of certain file-related variables from types like `uint8' to `uintn' since the library data types should not depend on the file data types. ./src/H5P.c ./src/H5Pprivate.h ./src/H5Ppublic.h Moved H5Pget_lrank() to H5Pget_ndims(), and H5Pget_ldims() to H5Pget_dims() to make naming more uniform. Dimensions should always be of type `size_t'. Similarly for H5P_get_lrank() and H5P_get_ldims().
This is the 10/15/97 prototype release of the HDF5 library.
This release is not fully functional for the entire API defined in the HTML
documentation, see the RELEASE file for information specific to this release of
the library. The INSTALL file contains instructions on compiling and
installing the library.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory:
H5.apiv2.html - API interface description for HDF5 interface
H5.format.html - Format description for HDF5 files
H5.intro.html - Introduction to programming with the HDF5 interface
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", (i.e.
hdf5-request@ncsa.uiuc.ed) with "subscribe <e-mail address> in the _body_ of
the message. Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to
"<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu"
