Examples of use:
-
1) h5diff file1 file2 /g1/dset1 /g1/dset2
-
Compares object '/g1/dset1' in file1 with '/g1/dset2' in file2
2) h5diff file1 file2 /g1/dset1
-
Compares object '/g1/dset1' in both files
3) h5diff file1 file2
-
Compares all objects in both files
- Note) file1 and file2 can be the same file. Use
-
- h5diff file1 file1 /g1/dset1 /g1/dset2
-
- to compare '/g1/dset1' and '/g1/dset2' in the same file
+ Notes:
+ file1 and file2 can be the same file.
+ Use h5diff file1 file1 /g1/dset1 /g1/dset2 to compare
