[svn-r684] RM_H5Front.html
Added link to Tools.html Clean up formatting. Added RM_H5R.html, Ragged Arrays, but link is commented out for Beta. RM_H5.html H5version Removed patch number parameter. H5check_version Removed patch number parameter. Corrected datatype to unsigned (was unsigned *). Added missing "Purpose:" statement. RM_H5A.html H5Aread/write Added reference to data conversion limitations. RM_H5D.html H5Dwrite Added "Writing to an external dataset will fail if the HDF5 file is not open for writing." H5Dread/write Added reference to data conversion limitations. RM_H5F.html H5Fflush Added H5Fflush. RM_H5G.html H5Gget_stat Fixed formatting error. Added mtime to the description of the data structure. Added the following "Note:", per Robb's checkin mesage: "Some systems will be able to record the time accurately but unable to retrieve the correct time; such systems (e.g., Irix64) will report an mtime value of 0 (zero)." Corrected successful return value. H5Gset_comment Added the following statement to "Description:" "Comments can be attached to any object that has an object header, e.g., data sets, groups, named data types, and data spaces, but not symbolic links. RM_H5P.html Cleaned up file formatting. H5Pset_filter Added these three functions. H5Pget_nfilters H5Pget_filter H5Pget_deflate Removed these three functions. (Actually, H5Pset_compression they are commented out, in case they should H5Pget_compression be reinstated.) RM_H5R.html Intial version of H5R reference manual entry, but still largely just a template. Not yet ready for distribution. Links to this document are currently commented out. RM_H5S.html H5S_set_extent_simple Changed name to H5Sselect_extent_simple. now: H5Sselect_extent_simpl H5Sselect_npoints Corrected return value. Now: H5Sget_select_npoints H5Sget_class Reinstated to RM. Changed name. now: H5Sget_space_type H5Soffset_simple Added these 6 functions. The there is a H5Sextent_copy link to Dataspaces.html for the 10 "not yet H5Sset_extent_none implemented (NYI)" functions. H5Sselect_all H5Sselect_none H5Sselect_valid RM_H5T.html Added the following datatypes (though the list of native datatypes is commented out): H5T_NATIVE_HSIZE H5T_NATIVE_HSSIZE H5T_NATIVE_HERR H5T_NATIVE_HBOOL Tools.html Corrected h5ls and h5repart sections. Glossary.html Unlinked for Beta. Copyright.html New file. Copyright statement, linked into User's Guide and Reference Manual. General Changed the following function names: From: To: H5version H5get_libversion H5vers_check H5check_version H5Anum_attrs H5Aget_num_attrs H5Fget_create_template H5Fget_create_plist H5Fget_access_template H5Fget_access_plist And associated "template" -> "property list" edits. H5Gstat H5Gget_stat H5Sextent_npoints H5Sget_simple_extent_npoints H5Sextent_ndims H5Sget_simple_extent_ndims H5Sextent_dims H5Sget_simple_extent_dims H5Sget_class H5Sget_simple_extent_type H5Sselect_npoints H5Sget_select_npoints Added links to Tools.html and RM_H5R.html (Ragged Arrays), though link to RM_H5R.html is commented out for now.
