+usage: h5dump [OPTIONS] file
+ OPTIONS
+ -h, --help Print a usage message and exit
+ -n, --contents Print a list of the file contents and exit
+ -B, --superblock Print the content of the super block
+ -H, --header Print the header only; no data is displayed
+ -A, --onlyattr Print the header and value of attributes
+ -i, --object-ids Print the object ids
+ -r, --string Print 1-byte integer datasets as ASCII
+ -e, --escape Escape non printing characters
+ -V, --version Print version number and exit
+ -a P, --attribute=P Print the specified attribute
+ -d P, --dataset=P Print the specified dataset
+ -y, --noindex Do not print array indices with the data
+ -p, --properties Print dataset filters, storage layout and fill value
+ -f D, --filedriver=D Specify which driver to open the file with
+ -g P, --group=P Print the specified group and all members
+ -l P, --soft-link=P Print the value(s) of the specified soft link
+ -o F, --output=F Output raw data into file F
+ -b B, --binary=B Binary file output, of form B
+ -t P, --datatype=P Print the specified named datatype
+ -w N, --width=N Set the number of columns of output. A value of 0 (zero)
+ sets the number of columns to the maximum (65535).
+ Default width is 80 columns.
+ -m T, --format=T Set the floating point output format
+ -q Q, --sort_by=Q Sort groups and attributes by index Q
+ -z Z, --sort_order=Z Sort groups and attributes by order Z
+ -M L, --packedbits=L Print packed bits as unsigned integers, using mask
+ format L for an integer dataset specified with
+ option -d. L is a list of offset,length values,
+ separated by commas. Offset is the beginning bit in
+ the data value and length is the number of bits of
+ the mask.
+ -R, --region Print dataset pointed by region references
+ -x, --xml Output in XML using Schema
+ -u, --use-dtd Output in XML using DTD
+ -D U, --xml-dtd=U Use the DTD or schema at U
+ -X S, --xml-ns=S (XML Schema) Use qualified names n the XML
+ ":": no namespace, default: "hdf5:"
+ E.g., to dump a file called `-f', use h5dump -- -f
+ --enable-error-stack Prints messages from the HDF5 error stack as they
+ occur.
+
+ Subsetting is available by using the following options with a dataset
+ attribute. Subsetting is done by selecting a hyperslab from the data.
+ Thus, the options mirror those for performing a hyperslab selection.
+ One of the START, COUNT, STRIDE, or BLOCK parameters are mandatory if you do subsetting.
+ The STRIDE, COUNT, and BLOCK parameters are optional and will default to 1 in
+ each dimension. START is optional and will default to 0 in each dimension.
+
+ -s START, --start=START Offset of start of subsetting selection
+ -S STRIDE, --stride=STRIDE Hyperslab stride
+ -c COUNT, --count=COUNT Number of blocks to include in selection
+ -k BLOCK, --block=BLOCK Size of block in hyperslab
+ START, COUNT, STRIDE, and BLOCK - is a list of integers the number of which are equal to the
+ number of dimensions in the dataspace being queried
+
+ D - is the file driver to use in opening the file. Acceptable values
+ are "sec2", "family", "split", "multi", "direct", and "stream". Without
+ the file driver flag, the file will be opened with each driver in
+ turn and in the order specified above until one driver succeeds
+ in opening the file.
+ F - is a filename.
+ P - is the full path from the root group to the object.
+ N - is an integer greater than 1.
+ T - is a string containing the floating point format, e.g '%.3f'
+ U - is a URI reference (as defined in [IETF RFC 2396],
+ updated by [IETF RFC 2732])
+ B - is the form of binary output: NATIVE for a memory type, FILE for the
+ file type, LE or BE for pre-existing little or big endian types.
+ Must be used with -o (output file) and it is recommended that
+ -d (dataset) is used. B is an optional argument, defaults to NATIVE
+ Q - is the sort index type. It can be "creation_order" or "name" (default)
+ Z - is the sort order type. It can be "descending" or "ascending" (default)
+
+ Examples:
+
+ 1) Attribute foo of the group /bar_none in file quux.h5
+
+ h5dump -a /bar_none/foo quux.h5
+
+ 2) Selecting a subset from dataset /foo in file quux.h5
+
+ h5dump -d /foo -s "0,1" -S "1,1" -c "2,3" -k "2,2" quux.h5
+
+ 3) Saving dataset 'dset' in file quux.h5 to binary file 'out.bin'
+ using a little-endian type
+
+ h5dump -d /dset -b LE -o out.bin quux.h5
+
+ 4) Display two packed bits (bits 0-1 and bits 4-6) in the dataset /dset
+
+ h5dump -d /dset -M 0,1,4,3 quux.h5
