Definition H5public.h:82
#define H5_VERS_RELEASE
Definition H5public.h:86

Determines whether the version of the library being used is greater than or equal to the specified version.

Parameters
[in]MajMajor version number - A non-negative integer value
[in]MinMinor version number - A non-negative integer value
[in]RelRelease version number - A non-negative integer value
Returns
A value of 1 is returned if the library version is greater than or equal to the version number specified.
A value of 0 is returned if the library version is less than the version number specified.
A library version is greater than the specified version number if its major version is larger than the specified major version number. If the major version numbers are the same, it is greater than the specified version number if its minor version is larger than the specified minor version number. If the minor version numbers are the same, then a library version would be greater than the specified version number if its release number is larger than the specified release number.

The H5_VERSION_GE and H5_VERSION_LE macros are used at compile time to conditionally include or exclude code based on the version of the HDF5 library against which an application will be linked.

The H5_VERSION_GE macro compares the version of the HDF5 library being used against the version number specified in the parameters.

For more information about release versioning, see HDF5 Library Release Version Numbers.

((H5_VERS_MAJOR == Maj) && (H5_VERS_MINOR < Min)) || (H5_VERS_MAJOR < Maj))

Determines whether the version of the library being used is less than or equal to the specified version.

Parameters
[in]MajMajor version number - A non-negative integer value
[in]MinMinor version number - A non-negative integer value
[in]RelRelease version number - A non-negative integer value
Returns
A value of 1 is returned if the library version is less than or equal to the version number specified.
A value of 0 is returned if the library version is greater than the version number specified.
A library version is less than the specified version number if its major version is smaller than the specified major version number. If the major version numbers are the same, it is smaller than the specified version number if its minor version is smaller than the specified minor version number. If the minor version numbers are the same, then a library version would be smaller than the specified version number if its release number is smaller than the specified release number.

The H5_VERSION_GE and H5_VERSION_LE macros are used at compile time to conditionally include or exclude code based on the version of the HDF5 library against which an application will be linked.

The H5_VERSION_LE macro compares the version of the HDF5 library being used against the version number specified in the parameters.

#define HADDR_UNDEF   UINT64_MAX

◆ HDF5_DRIVER

#define HDF5_DRIVER   "HDF5_DRIVER"

Used to specify the name of an HDF5 Virtual File Driver to use as the default file driver for file access. Setting this environment variable overrides the default file driver for File Access Property Lists.

◆ HDF5_DRIVER_CONFIG

#define HDF5_DRIVER_CONFIG   "HDF5_DRIVER_CONFIG"

Used to specify a configuration string for the HDF5 Virtual File Driver being used for file access.

◆ HDF5_NOCLEANUP

Used to instruct HDF5 not to cleanup files created during testing.

◆ HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH

#define HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH   "HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH"

Used to specify a delimiter-separated (currently, ';' for Windows and ':' for other systems) list of paths that HDF5 should search when loading plugins.

◆ HDF5_PLUGIN_PRELOAD

#define HDF5_PLUGIN_PRELOAD   "HDF5_PLUGIN_PRELOAD"

Used to control the loading of HDF5 plugins at runtime. If this environment variable is set to the special string "::" (defined in H5PLpublic.h as H5PL_NO_PLUGIN), then dynamic loading of any HDF5 plugins will be disabled. No other values are valid for this environment variable.

◆ HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING

#define HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING   "HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING"

Used to control whether HDF5 uses file locking when creating or opening a file. Valid values for this environment variable are as follows:

"TRUE" or "1" - Request that file locks should be used "FALSE" or "0" - Request that file locks should NOT be used "BEST_EFFORT" - Request that file locks should be used and that any locking errors caused by file locking being disabled on the system should be ignored

◆ HDF5_VOL_CONNECTOR

#define HDF5_VOL_CONNECTOR   "HDF5_VOL_CONNECTOR"

Used to specify the name of an HDF5 Virtual Object Layer Connector to use as the default VOL connector for file access. Setting this environment variable overrides the default VOL connector for File Access Property Lists.

Typedef Documentation

◆ H5_atclose_func_t

typedef void(* H5_atclose_func_t) (void *ctx)

Library shutdown callback, used by H5atclose().

◆ haddr_t

typedef uint64_t haddr_t

The address of an object in the file.

◆ hbool_t

typedef bool hbool_t

C99-style Boolean type. Successful return values are zero (false) or positive (true). The typical true value is 1 but don't bet on it.

Deprecated:
Now that we require C99, hbool_t is typedef'd to C99's bool and hbool_t is considered deprecated. Due to its long-standing, widespread use, we have no plans to remove the hbool_t typedef from the public API, though we will probably switch to using bool in the public API starting in the next major release of HDF5.
Attention
Boolean functions cannot fail.

◆ herr_t

typedef int herr_t

Status return values. Failed integer functions in HDF5 result almost always in a negative value (unsigned failing functions sometimes return zero for failure) while successful return is non-negative (often zero). The negative failure value is most commonly -1, but don't bet on it.

The proper way to detect failure is something like:

if((dset = H5Dopen2(file, name)) < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "unable to open the requested dataset\n");
hid_t H5Dopen2(hid_t loc_id, const char *name, hid_t dapl_id)
Opens an existing dataset.

◆ hsize_t

typedef uint64_t hsize_t

The size of file objects.

◆ hssize_t

typedef int64_t hssize_t

The size of file objects. Used when negative values are needed to indicate errors.

◆ htri_t

typedef int htri_t

Three-valued Boolean type. Functions that return htri_t however return zero (false), positive (true), or negative (failure).

The proper way to test for truth from a htri_t function is:

if ((retval = H5Tcommitted(type)) > 0) {
printf("data type is committed\n");
} else if (!retval) {
printf("data type is not committed\n");
} else {
printf("error determining whether data type is committed\n");
}
htri_t H5Tcommitted(hid_t type_id)
Determines whether a datatype is a committed type or a transient type.

◆ ssize_t

typedef int ssize_t
