Name and describe the two primary objects that can be stored in an HDF5 + file: + +2. What is an attribute? + +3. Give the path name for an object called "harry" that is a member of a + group called "dick," which in turn is a member of the root group. + + +Section 3: The HDF5 API +======================= + +Describe the purpose of each of the following HDF5 APIs: + +H5A, H5D, H5E, F5F, H5G, H5T, H5Z + + + +Section 4: Creating an HDF File +=============================== + +1. What two HDF5 routines must be called in order to create an HDF5 file? + +2. What include file must be included in any file that uses the HDF5 library. + +3. An HDF5 file is never completely empty because as soon as an HDF5 file + is created, it automatically contains a certain primary object. What is + that object? + + + +Section 5: Creating a Dataset +============================= + +1. Name and describe two major datatype categories. + +2. List the HDF5 atomic datatypes. Give an example of a predefined datatype. + +3. What does the dataspace describe? What are the major characteristics of the + simple dataspace? + +4. What information needs to be passed to the H5Dcreate function, i.e. + what information is needed to describe a dataset at creation time? + + +Section 6: Reading from/Writing to a Dataset +============================================ + +1. What are six pieces of information which need to be specified for + reading and writing a dataset? + +2. Why are both the memory dataspace and file dataspace needed for + read/write operations, but only the memory datatype is specified for the + datatype? + +3. What does the line DATASPACE { SIMPLE (4 , 6 ) / ( 4 , 6 ) } in Fig 6.1 + means? + + +Section 7: Creating an Attribute +================================ + +1. What is an attribute? + +2. Can partial I/O operations be performed on attributes? + + +Section 8: Creating a Group +=========================== + +What are the two primary objects that can be included in +a group? + + +Section 9: Creating Groups using Absolute/Relative Names +======================================================== + +1. Group names can be specified in two "ways". What are these + two types of group names that you can specify? + +2. You have a dataset named "moo" in the group "boo", which is + in the group "foo", which in turn, is in the root group. How would + you specify an absolute name to access this dataset? + + +Section 10: Creating Datasets in Groups +======================================= + +Describe a way to access the dataset "moo" described in the previous section +(Section 9, question 2), using a relative and absolute pathname. + +</PRE> +<!-- BEGIN FOOTER INFO --> + +<P><hr noshade size=1> +<font face="arial,helvetica" size="-1"> + <a href="http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/"><img border=0 + src="http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Images/NCSAhome/footerlogo.gif" + width=78 height=27 alt="NCSA"><br> + The National Center for Supercomputing Applications</A><br> + <a href="http://www.uiuc.edu/">University of Illinois + at Urbana-Champaign</a><br> + <br> +<!-- <A HREF="helpdesk.mail.html"> --> +<A HREF="mailto:hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu"> +hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu</A> +<BR> <H6>Last Modified: August 2, 1999</H6><BR> +<!-- modified by Barbara Jones - bljones@ncsa.uiuc.edu --> +</FONT> +<BR> +<!-- <A HREF="mailto:hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu"> --> + +</BODY> +</HTML> + + + |
