+ + +

The format of an HDF5 file on disk encompasses several + key ideas of the HDF4 and AIO file formats as well as + addressing some shortcomings therein. The new format is + more self-describing than the HDF4 format and is more + uniformly applied to data objects in the file. + +

An HDF5 file appears to the user as a directed graph. + The nodes of this graph are the higher-level HDF5 objects + that are exposed by the HDF5 APIs: + +

    +
  • Groups +
  • Datasets +
  • Datatypes +
  • Dataspaces +
+ +

At the lowest level, as information is actually written to the disk, + an HDF5 file is made up of the following objects: +

    +
  • A super block +
  • B-tree nodes (containing either symbol nodes or raw data chunks) +
  • Object headers + +
  • Collections +
  • Local heaps +
  • Free space +
+ + The HDF5 library uses these lower-level objects to represent the + higher-level objects that are then presented to the user or + to applications through the APIs. + For instance, a group is an object header that contains a message that + points to a local heap and to a B-tree which points to symbol nodes. + A dataset is an object header that contains messages that describe + datatype, space, layout, filters, external files, fill value, etc + with the layout message pointing to either a raw data chunk or to a + B-tree that points to raw data chunks. + + +

This Document

+ +

This document describes the lower-level data objects; + the higher-level objects and their properties are described + in the HDF5 User's Guide. + + + + + + +

Three levels of information comprise the file format. + Level 0 contains basic information for identifying and + defining information about the file. Level 1 information contains + the group information (stored as a B-tree) and is used as the + index for all the objects in the file. Level 2 is the rest + of the file and contains all of the data objects, with each object + partitioned into header information, also known as + meta information, and data. + +

The sizes of various fields in the following layout tables are + determined by looking at the number of columns the field spans + in the table. There are three exceptions: (1) The size may be + overridden by specifying a size in parentheses, (2) the size of + addresses is determined by the Size of Offsets field + in the super block, and (3) the size of size fields is determined + by the Size of Lengths field in the super block. + + + +

+

+ + +

+ Disk Format: Level 0 - File Signature and Super Block

+ +

The super block may begin at certain predefined offsets within + the HDF5 file, allowing a block of unspecified content for + users to place additional information at the beginning (and + end) of the HDF5 file without limiting the HDF5 library's + ability to manage the objects within the file itself. This + feature was designed to accommodate wrapping an HDF5 file in + another file format or adding descriptive information to the + file without requiring the modification of the actual file's + information. The super block is located by searching for the + HDF5 file signature at byte offset 0, byte offset 512 and at + successive locations in the file, each a multiple of two of + the previous location, i.e. 0, 512, 1024, 2048, etc. + +

The super block is composed of a file signature, followed by + super block and group version numbers, information + about the sizes of offset and length values used to describe + items within the file, the size of each group page, + and a group entry for the root object in the file. + +

+

Field NameDescription
File SignatureThis field contains a constant value and can be used to + quickly identify a file as being an HDF5 file. The + constant value is designed to allow easy identification of + an HDF5 file and to allow certain types of data corruption + to be detected. The file signature of an HDF5 file always + contains the following values: + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
decimal13772687013102610
hexadecimal894844460d0a1a0a
ASCII C Notation\211HDF\r\n\032\n
+
+
+ + This signature both identifies the file as an HDF5 file + and provides for immediate detection of common + file-transfer problems. The first two bytes distinguish + HDF5 files on systems that expect the first two bytes to + identify the file type uniquely. The first byte is + chosen as a non-ASCII value to reduce the probability + that a text file may be misrecognized as an HDF5 file; + also, it catches bad file transfers that clear bit + 7. Bytes two through four name the format. The CR-LF + sequence catches bad file transfers that alter newline + sequences. The control-Z character stops file display + under MS-DOS. The final line feed checks for the inverse + of the CR-LF translation problem. (This is a direct + descendent of the PNG file signature.)
Version Number of the Super BlockThis value is used to determine the format of the + information in the super block. When the format of the + information in the super block is changed, the version number + is incremented to the next integer and can be used to + determine how the information in the super block is + formatted.
Version Number of the Global Free-space HeapThis value is used to determine the format of the + information in the Global Free-space Heap.
Version Number of the GroupThis value is used to determine the format of the + information in the Group. When the format of + the information in the Group is changed, the + version number is incremented to the next integer and can be + used to determine how the information in the Group + is formatted.
Version Number of the Shared Header Message FormatThis value is used to determine the format of the + information in a shared object header message, which is + stored in the global small-data heap. Since the format + of the shared header messages differs from the private + header messages, a version number is used to identify changes + in the format.
Size of OffsetsThis value contains the number of bytes used to store + addresses in the file. The values for the addresses of + objects in the file are offsets relative to a base address, + usually the address of the super block signature. This + allows a wrapper to be added after the file is created + without invalidating the internal offset locations.
Size of LengthsThis value contains the number of bytes used to store + the size of an object.
Group Leaf Node KEach leaf node of a group B-tree will have at + least this many entries but not more than twice this + many. If a group has a single leaf node then it + may have fewer entries.
Group Internal Node KEach internal node of a group B-tree will have + at least K pointers to other nodes but not more than 2K + pointers. If the group has only one internal + node then it might have fewer than K pointers.
Bytes per B-tree PageThis value contains the number of bytes used for symbol + pairs per page of the B-trees used in the file. All + B-tree pages will have the same size per page. +
+ For 32-bit file offsets, 340 objects is the maximum + per 4KB page; for 64-bit file offset, 254 objects will fit + per 4KB page. In general, the equation is: +
+    <number of objects> = +
       + FLOOR((<page size> - <offset size>) / +
          + (<Symbol size> + <offset size>)) + - 1
File Consistency FlagsThis value contains flags to indicate information + about the consistency of the information contained + within the file. Currently, the following bit flags are + defined: +
    +
  • Bit 0 set indicates that the file is opened for + write-access. +
  • Bit 1 set indicates that the file has + been verified for consistency and is guaranteed to be + consistent with the format defined in this document. +
  • Bits 2-31 are reserved for future use. +
+ Bit 0 should be + set as the first action when a file is opened for write + access and should be cleared only as the final action + when closing a file. Bit 1 should be cleared during + normal access to a file and only set after the file's + consistency is guaranteed by the library or a + consistency utility.
Base AddressThis is the absolute file address of the first byte of + the HDF5 data within the file. The library currently + constrains this value to be the absolute file address + of the super block itself when creating new files; + future versions of the library may provide greater + flexibility. Unless otherwise noted, + all other file addresses are relative to this base + address.
Address of Global Free-space HeapFree-space management is not yet defined in the HDF5 + file format and is not handled by the library. + Currently this field always contains the + undefined address 0xfff...ff. + +
End of File AddressThis is the relative file address of the first byte past + the end of all HDF5 data. It is used to determine whether a + file has been accidently truncated and as an address where + file data allocation can occur if the free list is not + used.
Driver Information Block AddressThis is the relative file address of the file driver + information block which contains driver-specific + information needed to reopen the file. If there is no + driver information block then this entry should be the + undefined address (all bits set).
Root Group AddressThis is the address of the root group (described later + in this document), which serves as the entry point into + the group graph.
+
+ + +

The file driver information block is an optional region of the + file which contains information needed by the file driver in + order to reopen a file. The format of the file driver information + block is: + +

Driver Information


+

+

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Field NameDescription
VersionThe version number of the driver information block. The + file format documented here is version zero.
Driver Information SizeThe size in bytes of the Driver Information part of this + structure.
Driver IdentificationThis is an eight-byte ASCII string without null + termination which identifies the driver and version number + of the Driver Information block. The predefined drivers + supplied with the HDF5 library are identified by the + letters NCSA followed by the first four characters of + the driver name. If the Driver Information block is not + the original version then the last letter(s) of the + identification will be replaced by a version number in + ASCII. + For example, the various versions of the family driver + will be identified by NCSAfami, NCSAfam0, + NCSAfam1, etc. + (NCSAfami is simply NCSAfamily truncated + to eight characters. Subsequent identifiers will be created by + substituting sequential numerical values for the final character, + starting with zero.) +

+ Identification for user-defined drivers + is arbitrary but should be unique.

Driver InformationDriver information is stored in a format defined by the + file driver and encoded/decoded by the driver callbacks + invoked from the H5FD_sb_encode and + H5FD_sb_decode functions.

Disk Format: Level 1A - B-link Trees and B-tree Nodes

+ +

B-link trees allow flexible storage for objects which tend to grow + in ways that cause the object to be stored discontiguously. B-trees + are described in various algorithms books including "Introduction to + Algorithms" by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, and Ronald + L. Rivest. The B-link tree, in which the sibling nodes at a + particular level in the tree are stored in a doubly-linked list, + is described in the "Efficient Locking for Concurrent Operations + on B-trees" paper by Phillip Lehman and S. Bing Yao as published + in the ACM Transactions on Database Systems, Vol. 6, + No. 4, December 1981. + +

The B-link trees implemented by the file format contain one more + key than the number of children. In other words, each child + pointer out of a B-tree node has a left key and a right key. + The pointers out of internal nodes point to sub-trees while + the pointers out of leaf nodes point to symbol nodes and + raw data chunks. + Aside from that difference, internal nodes and leaf nodes + are identical. + +

Field NameDescription
Node SignatureThe ASCII character string TREE is + used to indicate the + beginning of a B-link tree node. This gives file + consistency checking utilities a better chance of + reconstructing a damaged file.
Node TypeEach B-link tree points to a particular type of data. + This field indicates the type of data as well as + implying the maximum degree K of the tree and + the size of each Key field. +
+
+
0 +
This tree points to group nodes. +
1 +
This tree points to a new data chunk. +
+
Node LevelThe node level indicates the level at which this node + appears in the tree (leaf nodes are at level zero). Not + only does the level indicate whether child pointers + point to sub-trees or to data, but it can also be used + to help file consistency checking utilities reconstruct + damanged trees.
Entries UsedThis determines the number of children to which this + node points. All nodes of a particular type of tree + have the same maximum degree, but most nodes will point + to less than that number of children. The valid child + pointers and keys appear at the beginning of the node + and the unused pointers and keys appear at the end of + the node. The unused pointers and keys have undefined + values.
Address of Left SiblingThis is the file address of the left sibling of the + current node relative to the super block. If the current + node is the left-most node at this level then this field + is the undefined address (all bits set).
Address of Right SiblingThis is the file address of the right sibling of the + current node relative to the super block. If the current + node is the right-most node at this level then this + field is the undefined address (all bits set).
Keys and Child PointersEach tree has 2K+1 keys with 2K + child pointers interleaved between the keys. The number + of keys and child pointers actually containing valid + values is determined by the Entries Used field. If + that field is N then the B-link tree contains + N child pointers and N+1 keys.
KeyThe format and size of the key values is determined by + the type of data to which this tree points. The keys are + ordered and are boundaries for the contents of the child + pointer; that is, the key values represented by child + N fall between Key N and Key + N+1. Whether the interval is open or closed on + each end is determined by the type of data to which the + tree points. +

+ The format of the key depends on the node type. + For nodes of node type 1, the key is formatted as follows: +

+ + + + + + + + + + + +
Bytes 1-4Size of chunk in bytes.
Bytes 4-8Filter mask, a 32-bit bitfield indicating which + filters have been applied to that chunk.
N fields of 8 bytes eachA 64-bit index indicating the offset of the + chunk within the dataset where N is the number + of dimensions of the dataset. For example, if + a chunk in a 3-dimensional dataset begins at the + position [5,5,5], there will be three + such 8-bit indices, each with the value of + 5.
+
+

+ For nodes of node type 0, the key is formatted as follows: +

+ + + + + +
A single field of Size of Lengths + bytesIndicates the byte offset into the local heap + for the first object name in the subtree which + that key describes.
+
+
Child PointersThe tree node contains file addresses of subtrees or + data depending on the node level. Nodes at Level 0 point + to data addresses, either data chunk or group nodes. + Nodes at non-zero levels point to other nodes of the + same B-tree.
+
+ +

+ Each B-tree node looks like this: + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
key[0]  child[0]  key[1]  child[1]  key[2]  ...  ...  key[N-1]  child[N-1]  key[N]
+
+ + where child[i] is a pointer to a sub-tree (at a level + above Level 0) or to data (at Level 0). + Each key[i] describes an item stored by the B-tree + (a chunk or an object of a group node). The range of values + represented by child[i] are indicated by key[i] + and key[i+1]. + + +

The following question must next be answered: + "Is the value described by key[i] contained in + child[i-1] or in child[i]?" + The answer depends on the type of tree. + In trees for groups (node type 0) the object described by + key[i] is the greatest object contained in + child[i-1] while in chunk trees (node type 1) the + chunk described by key[i] is the least chunk in + child[i]. + +

That means that key[0] for group trees is sometimes unused; + it points to offset zero in the heap, which is always the + empty string and compares as "less-than" any valid object name. + +

And key[N] for chunk trees is sometimes unused; + it contains a chunk offset which compares as "greater-than" + any other chunk offset and has a chunk byte size of zero + to indicate that it is not actually allocated. + + +

Disk Format: Level 1B - Group and Symbol Nodes

+ +

A group is an object internal to the file that allows + arbitrary nesting of objects (including other groups). + A group maps a set of names to a set of file + address relative to the base address. Certain meta data + for an object to which the group points can be duplicated + in the group symbol table in addition to the object header. + +

An HDF5 object name space can be stored hierarchically by + partitioning the name into components and storing each + component in a group. The group entry for a + non-ultimate component points to the group containing + the next component. The group entry for the last + component points to the object being named. + +

A group is a collection of group nodes pointed + to by a B-link tree. Each group node contains entries + for one or more symbols. If an attempt is made to add a + symbol to an already full group node containing + 2K entries, then the node is split and one node + contains K symbols and the other contains + K+1 symbols. + +

+ Disk Format: Level 1C - Group Entry

+ +

Each group entry in a group node is designed + to allow for very fast browsing of stored objects. + Toward that design goal, the group entries + include space for caching certain constant meta data from the + object header. + +

Field NameDescription
Name OffsetThis is the byte offset into the group local + heap for the name of the object. The name is null + terminated.
Object Header AddressEvery object has an object header which serves as a + permanent location for the object's meta data. In addition + to appearing in the object header, some meta data can be + cached in the scratch-pad space.

1 +
Object header meta data is cached in the group + entry. This implies that the group + entry refers to another group. + +
2 +
The entry is a symbolic link. The first four bytes + of the scratch-pad space are the offset into the local + heap for the link value. The object header address + will be undefined. + +

Other cache values can be defined later and + libraries that do not understand the new values will + still work properly. +
+
ReservedThese four bytes are present so that the scratch-pad + space is aligned on an eight-byte boundary. They are + always set to zero.
Scratch-pad SpaceThis space is used for different purposes, depending + on the value of the Cache Type field. Any meta-data + about a dataset object represented in the scratch-pad + space is duplicated in the object header for that + dataset. This meta data can include the datatype + and the size of the dataspace for a dataset whose datatype + is atomic and whose dataspace is fixed and less than + four dimensions. + Furthermore, no data is cached in the group + entry scratch-pad space if the object header for + the group entry has a link count greater than + one.
+
+ +

Format of the Scratch-pad Space

+ +

The group entry scratch-pad space is formatted + according to the value in the Cache Type field. + +

If the Cache Type field contains the value zero + (0) then no information is + stored in the scratch-pad space. + +

If the Cache Type field contains the value one + (1), then the scratch-pad space + contains cached meta data for another object header + in the following format: + +

Disk Format: Level 1D - Local Heaps

+ +

A heap is a collection of small heap objects. Objects can be + inserted and removed from the heap at any time. + The address of a heap does not change once the heap is created. + References to objects are stored in the group table; + the names of those objects are stored in the local heap. + +

Field NameDescription

Data Segment SizeThe total amount of disk memory allocated for the heap + data. This may be larger than the amount of space + required by the object stored in the heap. The extra + unused space holds a linked list of free blocks.
Offset to Head of Free-listThis is the offset within the heap data segment of the + first free block (or all 0xff bytes if there is no free + block). The free block contains <size> bytes that + are the offset of the next free chunk (or all 0xff bytes + if this is the last free chunk) followed by <size> + bytes that store the size of this free chunk.
Address of Data SegmentThe data segment originally starts immediately after + the heap header, but if the data segment must grow as a + result of adding more objects, then the data segment may + be relocated, in its entirety, to another part of the + file.
+
+ +

Objects within the heap should be aligned on an 8-byte boundary. + +

Disk Format: Level 1E - Global Heap

+ +

Each HDF5 file has a global heap which stores various types of + information which is typically shared between datasets. The + global heap was designed to satisfy these goals: + +

    +
  1. Repeated access to a heap object must be efficient without + resulting in repeated file I/O requests. Since global heap + objects will typically be shared among several datasets, it is + probable that the object will be accessed repeatedly. + +

    +
  2. Collections of related global heap objects should result in + fewer and larger I/O requests. For instance, a dataset of + void pointers will have a global heap object for each + pointer. Reading the entire set of void pointer objects + should result in a few large I/O requests instead of one small + I/O request for each object. + +

    +
  3. It should be possible to remove objects from the global heap + and the resulting file hole should be eligible to be reclaimed + for other uses. +

    +
+ +

The implementation of the heap makes use of the memory + management already available at the file level and combines that + with a new top-level object called a collection to + achieve Goal B. The global heap is the set of all collections. + Each global heap object belongs to exactly one collection and + each collection contains one or more global heap objects. For + the purposes of disk I/O and caching, a collection is treated as + an atomic object. + +

ReservedZero padding to align next field on an 8-byte + boundary.
Object Size This is the size of the the fields + above plus the object data stored for the object. The + actual storage size is rounded up to a multiple of + eight.
Object DataThe object data is treated as a one-dimensional array + of bytes to be interpreted by the caller.
+
+ +

Disk Format: Level 1F - Free-space Heap

+ +

The Free-space Index is a collection of blocks of data, + dispersed throughout the file, which are currently not used by + any file objects. + +

The super block contains a pointer to root of the free-space description; + that pointer is currently (i.e., in HDF5 Release 1.2) required + to be the undefined address 0xfff...ff. + +

The free-sapce index is not otherwise publicly defined at this time. + + + + + +

+

+ + +

Disk Format: Level 2 - Data Objects

+ +

Data objects contain the real information in the file. These + objects compose the scientific data and other information which + are generally thought of as "data" by the end-user. All the + other information in the file is provided as a framework for + these data objects. + +

A data object is composed of header information and data + information. The header information contains the information + needed to interpret the data information for the data object as + well as additional "meta-data" or pointers to additional + "meta-data" used to describe or annotate each data object. + +

+ Disk Format: Level 2a - Data Object Headers

+ +

The header information of an object is designed to encompass + all the information about an object which would be desired to be + known, except for the data itself. This information includes + the dimensionality, number-type, information about how the data + is stored on disk (in external files, compressed, broken up in + blocks, etc.), as well as other information used by the library + to speed up access to the data objects or maintain a file's + integrity. The header of each object is not necessarily located + immediately prior to the object's data in the file and in fact + may be located in any position in the file. + +

Field NameDescription
Version number of the object headerThis value is used to determine the format of the + information in the object header. When the format of the + information in the object header is changed, the version number + is incremented and can be used to determine how the + information in the object header is formatted.
ReservedAlways set to zero.
Number of header messagesThis value determines the number of messages listed in + this object header. This provides a fast way for software + to prepare storage for the messages in the header.
Object Reference CountThis value specifies the number of references to this + object within the current file. References to the + data object from external files are not tracked.
Total Object Header SizeThis value specifies the total number of bytes of header + message data following this length field for the current + message as well as any continuation data located elsewhere + in the file.
Header Message TypeThe header message type specifies the type of + information included in the header message data following + the type along with a small amount of other information. + Bit 15 of the message type is set if the message is + constant (constant messages cannot be changed since they + may be cached in group entries throughout the + file). The header message types for the pre-defined + header messages will be included in further discussion + below.
Size of Header Message DataThis value specifies the number of bytes of header + message data following the header message type and length + information for the current message. The size includes + padding bytes to make the message a multiple of eight + bytes.
FlagsThis is a bit field with the following definition: +
+
0 +
If set, the message data is constant. This is used + for messages like the datatype message of a dataset. +
1 +
If set, the message is stored in the global heap and + the Header Message Data field contains a Shared Object + message and the Size of Header Message Data field + contains the size of that Shared Object message. +
2-7 +
Reserved +
+
Header Message DataThe format and length of this field is determined by the + header message type and size respectively. Some header + message types do not require any data and this information + can be eliminated by setting the length of the message to + zero. The data is padded with enough zeros to make the + size a multiple of eight.
+
+ +

The header message types and the message data associated with + them compose the critical "meta-data" about each object. Some + header messages are required for each object while others are + optional. Some optional header messages may also be repeated + several times in the header itself, the requirements and number + of times allowed in the header will be noted in each header + message description below. + +

The following is a list of currently defined header messages: + +

+

Name: NIL

+ Type: 0x0000
+ Length: varies
+ Status: Optional, may be repeated.
+ Purpose and Description: The NIL message is used to + indicate a message + which is to be ignored when reading the header messages for a data object. + [Probably one which has been deleted for some reason.]
+ Format of Data: Unspecified.
+ + + + +
+

Name: Simple Dataspace

+ + Type: 0x0001
+ Length: Varies according to the number of dimensions, + as described in the following table
+ Status: The Simple Dataspace message is required + and may not be repeated. This message is currently used with + datasets and named dataspaces.
+ +

The Simple Dataspace message describes the number + of dimensions and size of each dimension that the data object + has. This message is only used for datasets which have a + simple, rectilinear grid layout; datasets requiring a more + complex layout (irregularly structured or unstructured grids, etc.) + must use the Complex Dataspace message for expressing + the space the dataset inhabits. + (Note: The Complex Dataspace functionality is + not yet implemented (as of HDF5 Release 1.2). It is not described + in this document.) + +

Field NameDescription
Name Offset (<size> bytes)The byte offset within the local name heap for the name + of the file. File names are stored as a URL which has a + protocol name, a host name, a port number, and a file + name: + protocol:port//host/file. + If the protocol is omitted then "file:" is assumed. If + the port number is omitted then a default port for that + protocol is used. If both the protocol and the port + number are omitted then the colon can also be omitted. If + the double slash and host name are omitted then + "localhost" is assumed. The file name is the only + mandatory part, and if the leading slash is missing then + it is relative to the application's current working + directory (the use of relative names is not + recommended).
File Offset (<size> bytes)This is the byte offset to the start of the data in the + specified file. For files that contain data for a single + dataset this will usually be zero.
SizeThis is the total number of bytes reserved in the + specified file for raw data storage. For a file that + contains exactly one complete dataset which is not + extendable, the size will usually be the exact size of the + dataset. However, by making the size larger one allows + HDF5 to extend the dataset. The size can be set to a value + larger than the entire file since HDF5 will read zeros + past the end of the file without failing.

Name: Data Storage - Layout

+ + Type: 0x0008
+ Length: varies
+ Status: Required for datasets, may not be repeated. + +

Purpose and Description: Data layout describes how the + elements of a multi-dimensional array are arranged in the linear + address space of the file. Two types of data layout are + supported: + +

    +
  1. The array can be stored in one contiguous area of the file. + The layout requires that the size of the array be constant and + does not permit chunking, compression, checksums, encryption, + etc. The message stores the total size of the array and the + offset of an element from the beginning of the storage area is + computed as in C. + +
  2. The array domain can be regularly decomposed into chunks and + each chunk is allocated separately. This layout supports + arbitrary element traversals, compression, encryption, and + checksums, and the chunks can be distributed across external + raw data files (these features are described in other + messages). The message stores the size of a chunk instead of + the size of the entire array; the size of the entire array can + be calculated by traversing the B-tree that stores the chunk + addresses. +

An + attribute is a small dataset; it has a name, a datatype, a data + space, and raw data. Since attributes are stored in the object + header they must be relatively small (<64kb) and can be + associated with any type of object which has an object header + (groups, datasets, named types and spaces, etc.). + +

Name: Shared Object Message

+ Type: 0x000F
+ Length: 4 Bytes
+ Status: Optional, may be repeated. + +

A constant message can be shared among several object headers + by writing that message in the global heap and having the object + headers all point to it. The pointing is accomplished with a + Shared Object message which is understood directly by the object + header layer of the library. It is also possible to have a + message of one object header point to a message in some other + object header, but care must be exercised to prevent cycles. + +

If a message is shared, then the message appears in the global + heap and its message ID appears in the Header Message Type + field of the object header. Also, the Flags field in the object + header for that message will have bit two set (the + H5O_FLAG_SHARED bit). The message body in the + object header will be that of a Shared Object message defined + here and not that of the pointed-to message. + +

Disk Format: Level 2b - Shared Data Object Headers

+
The elements of the shared object header message are described below: +

+
Reference Count of Shared Header Message: (32-bit unsigned integer) +
This value is used to keep a count of the number of dataset objects which +refer to this message from their dataset headers. When this count reaches zero, +the shared message header may be removed from the global heap. +
Shared Object Header Message: (various lengths) +
The data stored for the shared object header message is formatted in the +same way as the private object header messages described in the object header +description earlier in this document and begins with the header message Type. +
+
+ + +

Disk Format: Level 2c - Data Object Data Storage

+

The data for an object is stored separately from the header +information in the file and may not actually be located in the HDF5 file +itself if the header indicates that the data is stored externally. The +information for each record in the object is stored according to the +dimensionality of the object (indicated in the dimensionality header message). +Multi-dimensional data is stored in C order [same as current scheme], i.e. the +"last" dimension changes fastest. +

Data whose elements are composed of simple number-types are stored in +native-endian IEEE format, unless they are specifically defined as being stored +in a different machine format with the architecture-type information from the +number-type header message. This means that each architecture will need to +[potentially] byte-swap data values into the internal representation for that +particular machine. +

Data with a "variable" sized number-type is stored in a data heap +internal to the HDF5 file. Global heap identifiers are stored in the +data object storage. +

Data whose elements are composed of pointer number-types are stored in several +different ways depending on the particular pointer type involved. Simple +pointers are just stored as the dataset offset of the object being pointed to with the +size of the pointer being the same number of bytes as offsets in the file. +Partial-object pointers are stored as a heap-ID which points to the following +information within the file-heap: an offset of the object pointed to, number-type +information (same format as header message), dimensionality information (same +format as header message), sub-set start and end information (i.e. a coordinate +location for each), and field start and end names (i.e. a [pointer to the] +string indicating the first field included and a [pointer to the] string name +for the last field). + +

Data of a compound datatype is stored as a contiguous stream of the items +in the structure, with each item formatted according to its datatype. + + + diff --git a/doxygen/examples/H5.format.1.1.html b/doxygen/examples/H5.format.1.1.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..ebbbe8e --- /dev/null +++ b/doxygen/examples/H5.format.1.1.html @@ -0,0 +1,6439 @@ + + + + HDF5 File Format Specification Version 1.1 + + + + + + +

Introduction

+ HDF5 Groups +

  + HDF5 Objects +  
  + Figure 2: HDF5 objects -- datasets, datatypes, or dataspaces +
+ 		 
+ + +

The format of an HDF5 file on disk encompasses several + key ideas of the HDF4 and AIO file formats as well as + addressing some shortcomings therein. The new format is + more self-describing than the HDF4 format and is more + uniformly applied to data objects in the file. + +

An HDF5 file appears to the user as a directed graph. + The nodes of this graph are the higher-level HDF5 objects + that are exposed by the HDF5 APIs: + +

    +
  • Groups +
  • Datasets +
  • Named datatypes +
+ +

At the lowest level, as information is actually written to the disk, + an HDF5 file is made up of the following objects: +

    +
  • A super block +
  • B-tree nodes (containing either symbol nodes or raw data chunks) +
  • Object headers +
  • A global heap +
  • Local heaps +
  • Free space +
+ +

The HDF5 library uses these low-level objects to represent the + higher-level objects that are then presented to the user or + to applications through the APIs. + For instance, a group is an object header that contains a message that + points to a local heap and to a B-tree which points to symbol nodes. + A dataset is an object header that contains messages that describe + datatype, space, layout, filters, external files, fill value, etc + with the layout message pointing to either a raw data chunk or to a + B-tree that points to raw data chunks. + + +

This Document

+ +

This document describes the lower-level data objects; + the higher-level objects and their properties are described + in the HDF5 User's Guide. + +

Three levels of information comprise the file format. + Level 0 contains basic information for identifying and + defining information about the file. Level 1 information contains + the information about the pieces of a file shared by many objects + in the file (such as a B-trees and heaps). Level 2 is the rest + of the file and contains all of the data objects, with each object + partitioned into header information, also known as + metadata, and data. + +

The sizes of various fields in the following layout tables are + determined by looking at the number of columns the field spans + in the table. There are three exceptions: (1) The size may be + overridden by specifying a size in parentheses, (2) the size of + addresses is determined by the Size of Offsets field + in the super block and is indicated in this document with a + superscripted 'O', and (3) the size of length fields is determined + by the Size of Lengths field in the super block and is + indicated in this document with a superscripted 'L'. + +

Values for all fields in this document should be treated as unsigned + integers, unless otherwise noted in the description of a field. + Additionally, all metadata fields are stored in little-endian byte + order. +

+ +
+
+ +

+ Disk Format: Level 0 - File Metadata

+ +

+ Disk Format: Level 0A - File Signature and Super Block

+ +

The super block may begin at certain predefined offsets within + the HDF5 file, allowing a block of unspecified content for + users to place additional information at the beginning (and + end) of the HDF5 file without limiting the HDF5 library's + ability to manage the objects within the file itself. This + feature was designed to accommodate wrapping an HDF5 file in + another file format or adding descriptive information to the + file without requiring the modification of the actual file's + information. The super block is located by searching for the + HDF5 file signature at byte offset 0, byte offset 512 and at + successive locations in the file, each a multiple of two of + the previous location, i.e. 0, 512, 1024, 2048, etc. + +

The super block is composed of a file signature, followed by + super block and group version numbers, information + about the sizes of offset and length values used to describe + items within the file, the size of each group page, + and a group entry for the root object in the file. + +
+

Field NameDescription
HDF5 File Signature +

This field contains a constant value and can be used to + quickly identify a file as being an HDF5 file. The + constant value is designed to allow easy identification of + an HDF5 file and to allow certain types of data corruption + to be detected. The file signature of an HDF5 file always + contains the following values: +

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Decimal:13772687013102610
Hexadecimal:894844460d0a1a0a
ASCII C Notation:\211HDF\r\n\032\n
+
+
+ +

This signature both identifies the file as an HDF5 file + and provides for immediate detection of common + file-transfer problems. The first two bytes distinguish + HDF5 files on systems that expect the first two bytes to + identify the file type uniquely. The first byte is + chosen as a non-ASCII value to reduce the probability + that a text file may be misrecognized as an HDF5 file; + also, it catches bad file transfers that clear bit + 7. Bytes two through four name the format. The CR-LF + sequence catches bad file transfers that alter newline + sequences. The control-Z character stops file display + under MS-DOS. The final line feed checks for the inverse + of the CR-LF translation problem. (This is a direct + descendent of the PNG file + signature.) +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Version Number of the Super Block +

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in the super block. When the format of the + information in the super block is changed, the version number + is incremented to the next integer and can be used to + determine how the information in the super block is + formatted. +

+ +

Values of 0 and 1 are defined for this field. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Version Number of the File Free-space Information +

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in the File Free-space Information. +

+

The only value currently valid in this field is '0', which + indicates that the free space index is formatted as described + below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Version Number of the Root Group Symbol Table Entry +

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in the Root Group Symbol Table Entry. When the + format of the information in that field is changed, the + version number is incremented to the next integer and can be + used to determine how the information in the field + is formatted. +

+

The only value currently valid in this field is '0', which + indicates that the root group symbol table entry is formatted as + described below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Version Number of the Shared Header Message Format +

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in a shared object header message. Since the format + of the shared header messages differs from the other private + header messages, a version number is used to identify changes + in the format. +

+

The only value currently valid in this field is '0', which + indicates that shared header messages are formatted as + described below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Size of Offsets +

This value contains the number of bytes used to store + addresses in the file. The values for the addresses of + objects in the file are offsets relative to a base address, + usually the address of the super block signature. This + allows a wrapper to be added after the file is created + without invalidating the internal offset locations. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Size of Lengths +

This value contains the number of bytes used to store + the size of an object. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Group Leaf Node K +

Each leaf node of a group B-tree will have at + least this many entries but not more than twice this + many. If a group has a single leaf node then it + may have fewer entries. +

+

This value must be greater than zero. +

+

See the description of B-trees below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Group Internal Node K +

Each internal node of a group B-tree will have at + least this many entries but not more than twice this + many. If the group has only one internal + node then it might have fewer entries. +

+

This value must be greater than zero. +

+

See the description of B-trees below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
File Consistency Flags +

This value contains flags to indicate information + about the consistency of the information contained + within the file. Currently, the following bit flags are + defined: +

    +
  • Bit 0 set indicates that the file is opened for + write-access. +
  • Bit 1 set indicates that the file has + been verified for consistency and is guaranteed to be + consistent with the format defined in this document. +
  • Bits 2-31 are reserved for future use. +
+ Bit 0 should be + set as the first action when a file is opened for write + access and should be cleared only as the final action + when closing a file. Bit 1 should be cleared during + normal access to a file and only set after the file's + consistency is guaranteed by the library or a + consistency utility. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Indexed Storage Internal Node K +

Each internal node of a indexed storage B-tree will have at + least this many entries but not more than twice this + many. If the group has only one internal + node then it might have fewer entries. +

+

This value must be greater than zero. +

+

See the description of B-trees below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 1+ of the superblock. +

+
Base Address +

This is the absolute file address of the first byte of + the HDF5 data within the file. The library currently + constrains this value to be the absolute file address + of the super block itself when creating new files; + future versions of the library may provide greater + flexibility. When opening an existing file and this address does + not match the offset of the superblock, the library assumes + that the entire contents of the HDF5 file have been adjusted in + the file and adjusts the base address and end of file address to + reflect their new positions in the file. Unless otherwise noted, + all other file addresses are relative to this base + address. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Address of Global Free-space Index +

Free-space management is not yet defined in the HDF5 + file format and is not handled by the library. + Currently this field always contains the + undefined address. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
End of File Address +

This is the absolute file address of the first byte past + the end of all HDF5 data. It is used to determine whether a + file has been accidently truncated and as an address where + file data allocation can occur if space from the free list is + not used. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Driver Information Block Address +

This is the relative file address of the file driver + information block which contains driver-specific + information needed to reopen the file. If there is no + driver information block then this entry should be the + undefined address. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Root Group Symbol Table Entry +

This is the symbol table entry + of the root group, which serves as the entry point into + the group graph for the file. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+
Driver Identification +

This is an eight-byte ASCII string without null + termination which identifies the driver and version number + of the Driver Information block.

If the Driver Information block is not + the original version then the last letter(s) of the + identification will be replaced by a version number in + ASCII. +

+

+ For example, the various versions of the multi driver + will be identified by NCSAmult. + (NCSAmult is simply NCSAmulti truncated + to eight characters. Subsequent identifiers will be created by + substituting sequential numerical values for the final character, + starting with zero.) multi driver is the only default driver that + is encoded in this field. +

+

+ Identification for user-defined drivers + is eight-byte long and arbitrary but should be unique and avoid + the four character prefix "NCSA". +

Member Mapping

Multi driver enables different types of HDF5 data and + metadata to be written to separate files.

Reserved

These fields are reserved and should always be zero.

Address of Member File

Specifies the virtual address. A normally eight-byte integer with + the value from 0 (zero) to maximal value, + at which the member file starts.

End of Address for Member File

The end of allocated address for the member file. A normally eight-byte + integer value.

Name of Member File

The null-terminated name of member file. Its length should be multiples of + 8 bytes. Additional bytes will be padded with NULLs. The default naming + convention is %%s-X.h5, where X is one of the letters + s (for super block), b (for B-tree), r (for raw data), + g (for global heap), l (for local heap), and o (for + object header). The name for the whole HDF5 file will substitute the %s + in the string. +

Disk Format: Level 1A - B-link Trees and B-tree Nodes

+ +

B-link trees allow flexible storage for objects which tend to grow + in ways that cause the object to be stored discontiguously. B-trees + are described in various algorithms books including "Introduction to + Algorithms" by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, and Ronald + L. Rivest. The B-link tree, in which the sibling nodes at a + particular level in the tree are stored in a doubly-linked list, + is described in the "Efficient Locking for Concurrent Operations + on B-trees" paper by Phillip Lehman and S. Bing Yao as published + in the ACM Transactions on Database Systems, Vol. 6, + No. 4, December 1981. + +

The B-link trees implemented by the file format contain one more + key than the number of children. In other words, each child + pointer out of a B-tree node has a left key and a right key. + The pointers out of internal nodes point to sub-trees while + the pointers out of leaf nodes point to symbol nodes and + raw data chunks. + Aside from that difference, internal nodes and leaf nodes + are identical. + +

Field NameDescription
Signature +

The ASCII character string "TREE" is + used to indicate the + beginning of a B-link tree node. This gives file + consistency checking utilities a better chance of + reconstructing a damaged file. +

+
Node Type +

Each B-link tree points to a particular type of data. + This field indicates the type of data as well as + implying the maximum degree K of the tree and + the size of each Key field. +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Node TypeDescription
0This tree points to group nodes.
1This tree points to raw data chunk nodes.
+
Node Level +

The node level indicates the level at which this node + appears in the tree (leaf nodes are at level zero). Not + only does the level indicate whether child pointers + point to sub-trees or to data, but it can also be used + to help file consistency checking utilities reconstruct + damanged trees. +

+
Entries Used +

This determines the number of children to which this + node points. All nodes of a particular type of tree + have the same maximum degree, but most nodes will point + to less than that number of children. The valid child + pointers and keys appear at the beginning of the node + and the unused pointers and keys appear at the end of + the node. The unused pointers and keys have undefined + values. +

+
Address of Left Sibling +

This is the relative file address of the left sibling of + the current node. If the current + node is the left-most node at this level then this field + is the undefined address. +

+
Address of Right Sibling +

This is the relative file address of the right sibling of + the current node. If the current + node is the right-most node at this level then this + field is the undefined address. +

+
Keys and Child Pointers +

Each tree has 2K+1 keys with 2K + child pointers interleaved between the keys. The number + of keys and child pointers actually containing valid + values is determined by the node's Entries Used field. + If that field is N then the B-link tree contains + N child pointers and N+1 keys. +

+
Key +

The format and size of the key values is determined by + the type of data to which this tree points. The keys are + ordered and are boundaries for the contents of the child + pointer; that is, the key values represented by child + N fall between Key N and Key + N+1. Whether the interval is open or closed on + each end is determined by the type of data to which the + tree points. +

+ +

+ The format of the key depends on the node type. + For nodes of node type 0 (group nodes), the key is formatted as + follows: +

+ + + + + +
A single field of Size of Lengths + bytes:Indicates the byte offset into the local heap + for the first object name in the subtree which + that key describes. +
+
+

+ +

+ For nodes of node type 1 (chunked raw data nodes), the key is + formatted as follows: +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Bytes 1-4:Size of chunk in bytes.
Bytes 4-8:Filter mask, a 32-bit bitfield indicating which + filters have been skipped for this chunk. Each filter + has an index number in the pipeline (starting at 0, with + the first filter to apply) and if that filter is skipped, + the bit corresponding to it's index is set.
N 64-bit fields:A 64-bit index indicating the offset of the + chunk within the dataset where N is the number + of dimensions of the dataset. For example, if + a chunk in a 3-dimensional dataset begins at the + position [5,5,5], there will be three + such 64-bit indices, each with the value of + 5.
+
+

+
Child Pointer +

The tree node contains file addresses of subtrees or + data depending on the node level. Nodes at Level 0 point + to data addresses, either raw data chunk or group nodes. + Nodes at non-zero levels point to other nodes of the + same B-tree. +

+

For raw data chunk nodes, the child pointer is the address + of a single raw data chunk. For group nodes, the child pointer + points to a symbol table, which contains + information for multiple symbol table entries. +

+
+
+ +

+ Conceptually, each B-tree node looks like this: +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
key[0] child[0] key[1] child[1] key[2] ... ... key[N-1] child[N-1] key[N]
+
+
+ + where child[i] is a pointer to a sub-tree (at a level + above Level 0) or to data (at Level 0). + Each key[i] describes an item stored by the B-tree + (a chunk or an object of a group node). The range of values + represented by child[i] is indicated by key[i] + and key[i+1]. + + +

The following question must next be answered: + "Is the value described by key[i] contained in + child[i-1] or in child[i]?" + The answer depends on the type of tree. + In trees for groups (node type 0) the object described by + key[i] is the greatest object contained in + child[i-1] while in chunk trees (node type 1) the + chunk described by key[i] is the least chunk in + child[i]. + +

That means that key[0] for group trees is sometimes unused; + it points to offset zero in the heap, which is always the + empty string and compares as "less-than" any valid object name. + +

And key[N] for chunk trees is sometimes unused; + it contains a chunk offset which compares as "greater-than" + any other chunk offset and has a chunk byte size of zero + to indicate that it is not actually allocated. + + +

Disk Format: Level 1B - Group and Symbol Nodes

+ +

A group is an object internal to the file that allows + arbitrary nesting of objects within the file (including other groups). + A group maps a set of names in the group to a set of relative + file addresses where objects with those names are located in + the file. Certain metadata for an object to which the group points + can be cached in the group's symbol table in addition to the + object's header. + +

An HDF5 object name space can be stored hierarchically by + partitioning the name into components and storing each + component in a group. The group entry for a + non-ultimate component points to the group containing + the next component. The group entry for the last + component points to the object being named. + +

A group is a collection of group nodes pointed + to by a B-link tree. Each group node contains entries + for one or more symbols. If an attempt is made to add a + symbol to an already full group node containing + 2K entries, then the node is split and one node + contains K symbols and the other contains + K+1 symbols. + +

Version Number +

The version number for the group node. This + document describes version 1. (There is no version '0' + of the group node) +

+
Number of Symbols +

Although all group nodes have the same length, + most contain fewer than the maximum possible number of + symbol entries. This field indicates how many entries + contain valid data. The valid entries are packed at the + beginning of the group node while the remaining + entries contain undefined values. +

+
Group Entries +

Each symbol has an entry in the group node. + The format of the entry is described below. + There are 2K entries in each group node, where + K is the "Group Leaf Node K" value from the + super block. +

+

+ +

+ Disk Format: Level 1C - Group Entry

Field NameDescription
Name Offset +

This is the byte offset into the group local + heap for the name of the object. The name is null + terminated. +

+
Object Header Address +

Every object has an object header which serves as a + permanent location for the object's metadata. In addition + to appearing in the object header, some metadata can be + cached in the scratch-pad space. +

+
Cache Type +

The cache type is determined from the object header. + It also determines the format for the scratch-pad space: +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Type:Description:
0No data is cached by the group entry. This + is guaranteed to be the case when an object header + has a link count greater than one. +
1Object header metadata is cached in the group + entry. This implies that the group + entry refers to another group. +
2The entry is a symbolic link. The first four bytes + of the scratch-pad space are the offset into the local + heap for the link value. The object header address + will be undefined. +
NOther cache values can be defined later and + libraries that do not understand the new values will + still work properly. +
+

+
Reserved +

These four bytes are present so that the scratch-pad + space is aligned on an eight-byte boundary. They are + always set to zero. +

+
Scratch-pad Space +

This space is used for different purposes, depending + on the value of the Cache Type field. Any metadata + about a dataset object represented in the scratch-pad + space is duplicated in the object header for that + dataset. This metadata can include the datatype + and the size of the dataspace for a dataset whose datatype + is atomic and whose dataspace is fixed and less than + four dimensions. +

+

+ Furthermore, no data is cached in the group + entry scratch-pad space if the object header for + the group entry has a link count greater than + one. +

+
+
+ +

Format of the Scratch-pad Space

+ +

The group entry scratch-pad space is formatted + according to the value in the Cache Type field. + +

If the Cache Type field contains the value zero + (0) then no information is + stored in the scratch-pad space. + +

If the Cache Type field contains the value one + (1), then the scratch-pad space + contains cached metadata for another object header + in the following format: + +

The ASCII character string "HEAP" + is used to indicate the + beginning of a heap. This gives file consistency + checking utilities a better chance of reconstructing a + damaged file. +

+
Version +

Each local heap has its own version number so that new + heaps can be added to old files. This document + describes version zero (0) of the local heap. +

+
Data Segment Size +

The total amount of disk memory allocated for the heap + data. This may be larger than the amount of space + required by the objects stored in the heap. The extra + unused space in the heap holds a linked list of free blocks. +

+
Offset to Head of Free-list +

This is the offset within the heap data segment of the + first free block (or the + undefined address if there is no + free block). The free block contains "Size of Lengths" bytes that + are the offset of the next free block (or the + value '1' if this is the + last free block) followed by "Size of Lengths" bytes that store + the size of this free block. The size of the free block includes + the space used to store the offset of the next free block and + the of the current block, making the minimum size of a free block + 2 * "Size of Lengths". +

+
Address of Data Segment +

The data segment originally starts immediately after + the heap header, but if the data segment must grow as a + result of adding more objects, then the data segment may + be relocated, in its entirety, to another part of the + file. +

+
+
+ +

Objects within the heap should be aligned on an 8-byte boundary. + +

Disk Format: Level 1E - Global Heap

+ +

Each HDF5 file has a global heap which stores various types of + information which is typically shared between datasets. The + global heap was designed to satisfy these goals: + +

    +
  1. Repeated access to a heap object must be efficient without + resulting in repeated file I/O requests. Since global heap + objects will typically be shared among several datasets, it is + probable that the object will be accessed repeatedly. +
  2. Collections of related global heap objects should result in + fewer and larger I/O requests. For instance, a dataset of + object references will have a global heap object for each + reference. Reading the entire set of object references + should result in a few large I/O requests instead of one small + I/O request for each reference. +
  3. It should be possible to remove objects from the global heap + and the resulting file hole should be eligible to be reclaimed + for other uses. +
+

+ +

The implementation of the heap makes use of the memory + management already available at the file level and combines that + with a new top-level object called a collection to + achieve Goal B. The global heap is the set of all collections. + Each global heap object belongs to exactly one collection and + each collection contains one or more global heap objects. For + the purposes of disk I/O and caching, a collection is treated as + an atomic object. +

+ +

The HDF5 library creates global heap collections as needed, so there may + be multiple collections throughout the file. The set of all of them is + abstractly called the "global heap", although they don't actually link + to each other, and there is no global place in the file where you can + discover all of the collections. The collections are found simply by + finding a reference to one through another object in the file (eg. + variable-length datatype elements, etc). +

Disk Format: Level 2 - Data Objects

Data objects contain the real information in the file. These + objects compose the scientific data and other information which + are generally thought of as "data" by the end-user. All the + other information in the file is provided as a framework for + these data objects. +

+ +

A data object is composed of header information and data + information. The header information contains the information + needed to interpret the data information for the data object as + well as additional "metadata" or pointers to additional + "metadata" used to describe or annotate each data object. +

+ +

+ Disk Format: Level 2A - Data Object Headers

+ +

The header information of an object is designed to encompass + all the information about an object, except for the data itself. + This information includes + the dataspace, datatype, information about how the data + is stored on disk (in external files, compressed, broken up in + blocks, etc.), as well as other information used by the library + to speed up access to the data objects or maintain a file's + integrity. Information stored by user applications as attributes + is also stored in the object's header. The header of each object is + not necessarily located immediately prior to the object's data in the + file and in fact may be located in any position in the file. The order + of the messages in an object header is not significant. +

This + document describes version one (1) (there was no version + zero (0)). +

+
Dimensionality +

This value is the number of dimensions that the data + object has. +

+
Flags +

This field is used to store flags to indicate the + presence of parts of this message. Bit 0 (the least + significant bit) is used to indicate that maximum + dimensions are present. Bit 1 is used to indicate that + permutation indices are present. +

+
Dimension #n Size +

This value is the current size of the dimension of the + data as stored in the file. The first dimension stored in + the list of dimensions is the slowest changing dimension + and the last dimension stored is the fastest changing + dimension. +

+
Dimension #n Maximum Size +

This value is the maximum size of the dimension of the + data as stored in the file. This value may be the special + "unlimited" size which indicates + that the data may expand along this dimension indefinitely. + If these values are not stored, the maximum size of each + dimension is assumed to be the dimension's current size. +

+
Permutation Index #n +

This value is the index permutation used to map + each dimension from the canonical representation to an + alternate axis for each dimension. If these values are + not stored, the first dimension stored in the list of + dimensions is the slowest changing dimension and the last + dimension stored is the fastest changing dimension. +

Description: The datatype message defines the datatype + for each element of a dataset. A datatype can describe an atomic type + like a fixed- or floating-point type or a compound type like a C + struct. + Datatypes messages are stored + as a list of datatype classes and + their associated properties. +

+ +

Datatype messages that are part of a dataset object, + do not describe how elements are related to one another, the dataspace + message is used for that purpose. Datatype messages that are part of + a named datatype message describe an "abstract" datatype that can be + used by other objects in the file. +

If + the port number is omitted then a default port for that + protocol is used. If both the protocol and the port + number are omitted then the colon can also be omitted. If + the double slash and host name are omitted then + "localhost" is assumed. The file name is the only + mandatory part, and if the leading slash is missing then + it is relative to the application's current working + directory (the use of relative names is not + recommended).

+
File Offset(<size> bytes) +

This is the byte offset to the start of the data in the + specified file. For files that contain data for a single + dataset this will usually be zero.

+
Size +

This is the total number of bytes reserved in the + specified file for raw data storage. For a file that + contains exactly one complete dataset which is not + extendable, the size will usually be the exact size of the + dataset. However, by making the size larger one allows + HDF5 to extend the dataset. The size can be set to a value + larger than the entire file since HDF5 will read zeros + past the end of the file without failing.

Name: Data Storage - Layout

+ +

Header Message Type: 0x0008

+

Length: varies

+

Status: Required for datasets, may not be repeated.

+ +

Purpose and Description: Data layout describes how the + elements of a multi-dimensional array are arranged in the linear + address space of the file. Three types of data layout are + supported: + +

    +
  1. Contiguous: The array can be stored in one contiguous area of the file. + The layout requires that the size of the array be constant and + does not permit chunking, compression, checksums, encryption, + etc. The message stores the total size of the array and the + offset of an element from the beginning of the storage area is + computed as in C. + +
  2. Chunked: The array domain can be regularly decomposed into chunks and + each chunk is allocated separately. This layout supports + arbitrary element traversals, compression, encryption, and + checksums, and the chunks can be distributed across external + raw data files (these features are described in other + messages). The message stores the size of a chunk instead of + the size of the entire array; the size of the entire array can + be calculated by traversing the B-tree that stores the chunk + addresses. + +
  3. Compact: The array can be stored in one contiguous block, as part of + this object header message (this is called "compact" storage below). +

Field NameDescription
Version +

The version number information is used for changes in the format of the data + layout message and is described here:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
VersionDescription
0Never used.
1Used by version 1.4 and before of the library to encode layout information. + Data space is always allocated when the data set is created.
2Used by version 1.6.x of the library to encode layout information. + Data space is allocated only when it is necessary.
+
Dimensionality

An array has a fixed dimensionality. This field + specifies the number of dimension size fields later in the + message.

Layout Class

The layout class specifies how the other fields of the + layout message are to be interpreted. A value of one + indicates contiguous storage, a value of two indicates chunked storage, + while a value of zero indicates compact storage. Other values will be defined + in the future.

Address

For contiguous storage, this is the address of the first + byte of storage. For chunked storage this is the address + of the B-tree that is used to look up the addresses of the + chunks. This field is not present for compact storage. + If the version for this message is set to 2, the address + may have the "undefined address" value, to indicate that + storage has not yet been allocated for this array.

Dimensions

For contiguous and compact storage the dimensions define + the entire size of the array while for chunked storage they define + the size of a single chunk. In all cases, they are in units of + array elements (not bytes). The first dimension stored in the list + of dimensions is the slowest changing dimension and the last + dimension stored is the fastest changing dimension. +

+
Dataset Element Size

The size of a dataset element, in bytes. This field is only + present for chunked storage. +

+
Compact Data Size

This field is only present for compact data storage. + It contains the size of the raw data for the dataset array.

Header Message Type: 0x000C +

Status: Optional, may be repeated. + +

Description: The Attribute + message is used to list objects in the HDF file which are used + as attributes, or "metadata" about the current object. An + attribute is a small dataset; it has a name, a datatype, a data + space, and raw data. Since attributes are stored in the object + header they must be relatively small (<64KB) and can be + associated with any type of object which has an object header + (groups, datasets, named types and spaces, etc.). + +

Note: Attributes on an object must have unique names. (The HDF5 library + currently enforces this by causing the creation of an attribute with + a duplicate name to fail). Attributes on different objects may have the + same name, however. + +

Disk Format: Level 2b - Data Object Data Storage

+

The data for an object is stored separately from the header +information in the file and may not actually be located in the HDF5 file +itself if the header indicates that the data is stored externally. The +information for each record in the object is stored according to the +dimensionality of the object (indicated in the dimensionality header message). +Multi-dimensional data is stored in C order [same as current scheme], i.e. the +"last" dimension changes fastest. +

Data whose elements are composed of simple number-types are stored in +native-endian IEEE format, unless they are specifically defined as being stored +in a different machine format with the architecture-type information from the +number-type header message. This means that each architecture will need to +[potentially] byte-swap data values into the internal representation for that +particular machine. +

Data with a variable-length datatype is stored in the global heap +of the HDF5 file. Global heap identifiers are stored in the +data object storage. +

Data whose elements are composed of pointer number-types are stored in several +different ways depending on the particular pointer type involved. Simple +pointers are just stored as the dataset offset of the object being pointed to with the +size of the pointer being the same number of bytes as offsets in the file. +Dataset region references are stored as a heap-ID which points to the following +information within the file-heap: an offset of the object pointed to, number-type +information (same format as header message), dimensionality information (same +format as header message), sub-set start and end information (i.e. a coordinate +location for each), and field start and end names (i.e. a [pointer to the] +string indicating the first field included and a [pointer to the] string name +for the last field). + +

Data of a compound datatype is stored as a contiguous stream of the items +in the structure, with each item formatted according to its datatype.

I. Introduction

 + + + + + + + +
  +
+ HDF5 Groups + 		 
  + Figure 1: Relationships among the HDF5 root group, other groups, and objects +
+ 		 
  + HDF5 Objects +  
  + Figure 2: HDF5 objects -- datasets, datatypes, or dataspaces +
+ 		 
+ + +

The format of an HDF5 file on disk encompasses several + key ideas of the HDF4 and AIO file formats as well as + addressing some shortcomings therein. The new format is + more self-describing than the HDF4 format and is more + uniformly applied to data objects in the file.

+ +

An HDF5 file appears to the user as a directed graph. + The nodes of this graph are the higher-level HDF5 objects + that are exposed by the HDF5 APIs:

+ +
    +
  • Groups
    • +
  • Datasets
    • +
  • Committed (formerly Named) datatypes
    • +
+ +

At the lowest level, as information is actually written to the disk, + an HDF5 file is made up of the following objects:

+
    +
  • A superblock
    • +
  • B-tree nodes
    • +
  • Heap blocks
    • +
  • Object headers
    • +
  • Object data
    • +
  • Free space
    • +
+ +

The HDF5 Library uses these low-level objects to represent the + higher-level objects that are then presented to the user or + to applications through the APIs. For instance, a group is an + object header that contains a message that points to a local + heap (for storing the links to objects in the group) and to a + B-tree (which indexes the links). A dataset is an object header + that contains messages that describe datatype, dataspace, layout, + filters, external files, fill value, and other elements with the + layout message pointing to either a raw data chunk or to a + B-tree that points to raw data chunks.

+ + +
+

I.A. This Document

 + +

This document describes the lower-level data objects; + the higher-level objects and their properties are described + in the HDF5 User’s Guide.

+ +

Three levels of information comprise the file format. + Level 0 contains basic information for identifying and + defining information about the file. Level 1 information contains + the information about the pieces of a file shared by many objects + in the file (such as a B-trees and heaps). Level 2 is the rest + of the file and contains all of the data objects, with each object + partitioned into header information, also known as + metadata, and data.

+ +

The sizes of various fields in the following layout tables are + determined by looking at the number of columns the field spans + in the table. There are three exceptions: (1) The size may be + overridden by specifying a size in parentheses, (2) the size of + addresses is determined by the Size of Offsets field + in the superblock and is indicated in this document with a + superscripted ‘O’, and (3) the size of length fields is determined + by the Size of Lengths field in the superblock and is + indicated in this document with a superscripted ‘L’.

+ +

Values for all fields in this document should be treated as unsigned + integers, unless otherwise noted in the description of a field. + Additionally, all metadata fields are stored in little-endian byte + order. +

+ +

All checksums used in the format are computed with the + Jenkins’ + lookup3 algorithm. +

+ +

Whenever a bit flag or field is mentioned for an entry, bits are + numbered from the lowest bit position in the entry. +

+ +

Various tables in this document aligned with “This space inserted + only to align table nicely”. These entries in the table are just + to make the table presentation nicer and do not represent any values + or padding in the file. +

+ + +
+

I.B. Changes for HDF5 1.10

 + +

As of October 2015, changes in the file format for HDF5 1.10 + have not yet been finalized.

+ + + +
+
+
+

+II. Disk Format: Level 0 - File Metadata

+ +
+

+II.A. Disk Format: Level 0A - Format Signature and Superblock

+ +

The superblock may begin at certain predefined offsets within + the HDF5 file, allowing a block of unspecified content for + users to place additional information at the beginning (and + end) of the HDF5 file without limiting the HDF5 Library’s + ability to manage the objects within the file itself. This + feature was designed to accommodate wrapping an HDF5 file in + another file format or adding descriptive information to an HDF5 + file without requiring the modification of the actual file’s + information. The superblock is located by searching for the + HDF5 format signature at byte offset 0, byte offset 512, and at + successive locations in the file, each a multiple of two of + the previous location; in other words, at these byte offsets: + 0, 512, 1024, 2048, and so on.

+ +

The superblock is composed of the format signature, followed by a + superblock version number and information that is specific to each + version of the superblock. + Currently, there are three versions of the superblock format. + Version 0 is the default format, while version 1 is basically the same + as version 0 with additional information when a non-default B-tree ‘K’ + value is stored. Version 2 is the latest format, with some fields + eliminated or compressed and with superblock extension and checksum + support.

+ +

Version 0 and 1 of the superblock are described below:

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Field NameDescription

Format Signature

This field contains a constant value and can be used to + quickly identify a file as being an HDF5 file. The + constant value is designed to allow easy identification of + an HDF5 file and to allow certain types of data corruption + to be detected. The file signature of an HDF5 file always + contains the following values:

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Decimal:13772687013102610
Hexadecimal:894844460d0a1a0a
ASCII C Notation:\211HDF\r\n\032\n
+
+

This signature both identifies the file as an HDF5 file + and provides for immediate detection of common + file-transfer problems. The first two bytes distinguish + HDF5 files on systems that expect the first two bytes to + identify the file type uniquely. The first byte is + chosen as a non-ASCII value to reduce the probability + that a text file may be misrecognized as an HDF5 file; + also, it catches bad file transfers that clear bit + 7. Bytes two through four name the format. The CR-LF + sequence catches bad file transfers that alter newline + sequences. The control-Z character stops file display + under MS-DOS. The final line feed checks for the inverse + of the CR-LF translation problem. (This is a direct + descendent of the + PNG file + signature.)

+

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

Version Number of the Superblock

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in the superblock. When the format of the + information in the superblock is changed, the version number + is incremented to the next integer and can be used to + determine how the information in the superblock is + formatted.

+ +

Values of 0, 1 and 2 are defined for this field. (The format + of version 2 is described below, not here) +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+

Version Number of the File’s Free Space + Information

 +

This value is used to determine the format of the + file’s free space information. +

+

The only value currently valid in this field is ‘0’, which + indicates that the file’s free space is as described + below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the superblock. +

+

Version Number of the Root Group Symbol Table + Entry

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in the Root Group Symbol Table Entry. When the + format of the information in that field is changed, the + version number is incremented to the next integer and can be + used to determine how the information in the field + is formatted.

+

The only value currently valid in this field is ‘0’, + which indicates that the root group symbol table entry is + formatted as described below.

+

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the + superblock.

+

Version Number of the Shared Header Message Format

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in a shared object header message. Since the format + of the shared header messages differs from the other private + header messages, a version number is used to identify changes + in the format. +

+

The only value currently valid in this field is ‘0’, which + indicates that shared header messages are formatted as + described below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the superblock. +

+

Size of Offsets

This value contains the number of bytes used to store + addresses in the file. The values for the addresses of + objects in the file are offsets relative to a base address, + usually the address of the superblock signature. This + allows a wrapper to be added after the file is created + without invalidating the internal offset locations. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+

Size of Lengths

This value contains the number of bytes used to store + the size of an object. +

+

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+

Group Leaf Node K

 +

Each leaf node of a group B-tree will have at + least this many entries but not more than twice this + many. If a group has a single leaf node then it + may have fewer entries. +

+

This value must be greater than zero. +

+

See the description of B-trees below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the superblock. +

+

Group Internal Node K

 +

Each internal node of a group B-tree will have at + least this many entries but not more than twice this + many. If the group has only one internal + node then it might have fewer entries. +

+

This value must be greater than zero. +

+

See the description of B-trees below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the superblock. +

+

File Consistency Flags

 +

This value contains flags to indicate information + about the consistency of the information contained + within the file. Currently, the following bit flags are + defined: +

    +
  • Bit 0 set indicates that the file is opened for + write-access.
    • +
  • Bit 1 set indicates that the file has + been verified for consistency and is guaranteed to be + consistent with the format defined in this document.
    • +
  • Bits 2-31 are reserved for future use.
    • +
+ Bit 0 should be + set as the first action when a file is opened for write + access and should be cleared only as the final action + when closing a file. Bit 1 should be cleared during + normal access to a file and only set after the file’s + consistency is guaranteed by the library or a + consistency utility. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+

Indexed Storage Internal Node K

 +

Each internal node of an indexed storage B-tree will have at + least this many entries but not more than twice this + many. If the index storage B-tree has only one internal + node then it might have fewer entries. +

+

This value must be greater than zero. +

+

See the description of B-trees below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 1 of the superblock. +

+

Base Address

 +

This is the absolute file address of the first byte of + the HDF5 data within the file. The library currently + constrains this value to be the absolute file address + of the superblock itself when creating new files; + future versions of the library may provide greater + flexibility. When opening an existing file and this address does + not match the offset of the superblock, the library assumes + that the entire contents of the HDF5 file have been adjusted in + the file and adjusts the base address and end of file address to + reflect their new positions in the file. Unless otherwise noted, + all other file addresses are relative to this base + address. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+

Address of Global Free-space Index

 +

The file’s free space is not persistent for version 0 and 1 of + the superblock. + Currently this field always contains the + undefined address. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the superblock. +

+

End of File Address

 +

This is the absolute file address of the first byte past + the end of all HDF5 data. It is used to determine whether a + file has been accidently truncated and as an address where + file data allocation can occur if space from the free list is + not used. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+

Driver Information Block Address

 +

This is the relative file address of the file driver + information block which contains driver-specific + information needed to reopen the file. If there is no + driver information block then this entry should be the + undefined address. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the superblock. +

+

Root Group Symbol Table Entry

 +

This is the symbol table entry + of the root group, which serves as the entry point into + the group graph for the file. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the superblock. +

+
+
+ +
+

Version 2 of the superblock is described below:

+

Driver Information Size

 +

The size in bytes of the Driver Information field. +

+

Driver Identification

 +

This is an eight-byte ASCII string without null + termination which identifies the driver and/or version number + of the Driver Information Block. The predefined driver encoded + in this field by the HDF5 Library is identified by the + letters NCSA followed by the first four characters of + the driver name. If the Driver Information block is not + the original version then the last letter(s) of the + identification will be replaced by a version number in + ASCII, starting with 0. +

+

+ Identification for user-defined drivers is also eight-byte long. + It can be arbitrary but should be unique to avoid + the four character prefix “NCSA”. +

+

Driver Information

Driver information is stored in a format defined by the + file driver (see description below).
+
+ +
+ The two drivers encoded in the Driver Identification field are as follows: +
    +
  • + Multi driver: +

    + The identifier for this driver is “NCSAmulti”. + This driver provides a mechanism for segregating raw data and different types of metadata + into multiple files. + These files are viewed by the library as a single virtual HDF5 file with a single file address. + A maximum of 6 files will be created for the following data: + superblock, B-tree, raw data, global heap, local heap, and object header. + More than one type of data can be written to the same file. +

    • +
  • + Family driver +

    + The identifier for this driver is “NCSAfami” and is encoded in this field for library version 1.8 and after. + This driver is designed for systems that do not support files larger than 2 gigabytes + by splitting the HDF5 file address space across several smaller files. + It does nothing to segregate metadata and raw data; + they are mixed in the address space just as they would be in a single contiguous file. +

    • +
+

The format of the Driver Information field for the + above two drivers are described below:

+II.C. Disk Format: Level 0C - Superblock Extension

+ +

The superblock extension is used to store superblock metadata + which is either optional, or added after the version of the superblock + was defined. Superblock extensions may only exist when version 2+ of + superblock is used. A superblock extension is an object header which may + hold the following messages:

+

+III.A. Disk Format: Level 1A - B-trees and B-tree Nodes

+ +

B-trees allow flexible storage for objects which tend to grow + in ways that cause the object to be stored discontiguously. B-trees + are described in various algorithms books including “Introduction to + Algorithms” by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, and Ronald + L. Rivest. B-trees are used in several places in the HDF5 file format, + when an index is needed for another data structure.

+ +

The version 1 B-tree structure described below is the original index + structure, but are limited by some bugs in our implementation (mainly in + how they handle deleting records). The version 1 B-trees are being phased + out in favor of the version 2 B-trees described below, although both + types of structures may be found in the same file, depending on + application settings when creating the file.

+ +
+

+III.A.1. Disk Format: Level 1A1 - Version 1 B-trees (B-link Trees)

+ +

Version 1 B-trees in HDF5 files an implementation of the B-link tree, + in which the sibling nodes at a particular level in the tree are stored + in a doubly-linked list, is described in the “Efficient Locking for + Concurrent Operations on B-trees” paper by Phillip Lehman and S.

Field NameDescription

Signature

 +

The ASCII character string “TREE” is + used to indicate the + beginning of a B-link tree node. This gives file + consistency checking utilities a better chance of + reconstructing a damaged file. +

+

Node Type

 +

Each B-link tree points to a particular type of data. + This field indicates the type of data as well as + implying the maximum degree K of the tree and + the size of each Key field. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Node TypeDescription
0This tree points to group nodes.
1This tree points to raw data chunk nodes.

+

Node Level

 +

The node level indicates the level at which this node + appears in the tree (leaf nodes are at level zero). Not + only does the level indicate whether child pointers + point to sub-trees or to data, but it can also be used + to help file consistency checking utilities reconstruct + damaged trees. +

+

Entries Used

 +

This determines the number of children to which this + node points. All nodes of a particular type of tree + have the same maximum degree, but most nodes will point + to less than that number of children. The valid child + pointers and keys appear at the beginning of the node + and the unused pointers and keys appear at the end of + the node. The unused pointers and keys have undefined + values. +

+

Address of Left Sibling

 +

This is the relative file address of the left sibling of + the current node. If the current + node is the left-most node at this level then this field + is the undefined address. +

+

Address of Right Sibling

 +

This is the relative file address of the right sibling of + the current node. If the current + node is the right-most node at this level then this + field is the undefined address. +

+

Keys and Child Pointers

 +

Each tree has 2K+1 keys with 2K + child pointers interleaved between the keys. The number + of keys and child pointers actually containing valid + values is determined by the node’s Entries Used field. + If that field is N then the B-link tree contains + N child pointers and N+1 keys. +

+

Key

 +

The format and size of the key values is determined by + the type of data to which this tree points. The keys are + ordered and are boundaries for the contents of the child + pointer; that is, the key values represented by child + N fall between Key N and Key + N+1. Whether the interval is open or closed on + each end is determined by the type of data to which the + tree points. +

+ +

+ The format of the key depends on the node type. + For nodes of node type 0 (group nodes), the key is formatted as + follows: + + + + + + +
A single field of Size of Lengths + bytes:Indicates the byte offset into the local heap + for the first object name in the subtree which + that key describes. +
+

+ + +

+ For nodes of node type 1 (chunked raw data nodes), the key is + formatted as follows: + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Bytes 1-4:Size of chunk in bytes.
Bytes 4-8:Filter mask, a 32-bit bit field indicating which + filters have been skipped for this chunk. Each filter + has an index number in the pipeline (starting at 0, with + the first filter to apply) and if that filter is skipped, + the bit corresponding to its index is set.
(D + 1) 64-bit fields:The offset of the + chunk within the dataset where D is the number + of dimensions of the dataset, and the last value is the + offset within the dataset’s datatype and should always be + zero. For example, if + a chunk in a 3-dimensional dataset begins at the + position [5,5,5], there will be three + such 64-bit values, each with the value of + 5, followed by a 0 value.
+

+ +

Child Pointer

 +

The tree node contains file addresses of subtrees or + data depending on the node level. Nodes at Level 0 point + to data addresses, either raw data chunks or group nodes. + Nodes at non-zero levels point to other nodes of the + same B-tree. +

+

For raw data chunk nodes, the child pointer is the address + of a single raw data chunk. For group nodes, the child pointer + points to a symbol table, which contains + information for multiple symbol table entries. +

+
+
+ +

+ Conceptually, each B-tree node looks like this:

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
key[0] child[0] key[1] child[1] key[2] ... ... key[N-1] child[N-1] key[N]
+
+
+ + where child[i] is a pointer to a sub-tree (at a level + above Level 0) or to data (at Level 0). + Each key[i] describes an item stored by the B-tree + (a chunk or an object of a group node). The range of values + represented by child[i] is indicated by key[i] + and key[i+1]. + + +

The following question must next be answered: + “Is the value described by key[i] contained in + child[i-1] or in child[i]?” + The answer depends on the type of tree. + In trees for groups (node type 0) the object described by + key[i] is the greatest object contained in + child[i-1] while in chunk trees (node type 1) the + chunk described by key[i] is the least chunk in + child[i].

+ +

That means that key[0] for group trees is sometimes unused; + it points to offset zero in the heap, which is always the + empty string and compares as “less-than” any valid object name.

+ +

And key[N] for chunk trees is sometimes unused; + it contains a chunk offset which compares as “greater-than” + any other chunk offset and has a chunk byte size of zero + to indicate that it is not actually allocated.

+ +
+

+III.A.2. Disk Format: Level 1A2 - Version 2 B-trees

+ +

Version 2 B-trees are “traditional” B-trees, with one major difference. + Instead of just using a simple pointer (or address in the file) to a + child of an internal node, the pointer to the child node contains two + additional pieces of information: the number of records in the child + node itself, and the total number of records in the child node and + all its descendants. Storing this additional information allows fast + array-like indexing to locate the nth record in the B-tree.

+ +

The entry into a version 2 B-tree is a header which contains global + information about the structure of the B-tree. The root node + address + field in the header points to the B-tree root node, which is either an + internal or leaf node, depending on the value in the header’s + depth field. An internal node consists of records plus + pointers to further leaf or internal nodes in the tree. A leaf node + consists of solely of records. The format of the records depends on + the B-tree type (stored in the header).

+

Version

The version number for this B-tree internal node. + This document describes version 0. +

+

Type

 +

This field is the type of the B-tree node. It should always + be the same as the B-tree type in the header. +

+

Records

 +

The size of this field is determined by the number of records + for this node and the record size (from the header). The format + of records depends on the type of B-tree. +

+

Child Node Pointer

 +

This field is the address of the child node pointed to by the + internal node. +

+

Number of Records in Child Node

 +

This is the number of records in the child node pointed to by + the corresponding Node Pointer. +

+

The number of bytes used to store this field is determined by + the maximum possible number of records able to be stored in the + child node. +

+

+ The maximum number of records in a child node is computed + in the following way: + +

    +
  • Subtract the fixed size overhead for + the child node (for example, its signature, version, + checksum, and so on and one pointer triplet + of information for the child node (because there is one + more pointer triplet than records in each internal node)) + from the size of nodes for the B-tree.
    • +
  • Divide that result by the size of a record plus the + pointer triplet of information stored to reach each + child node from this node. +
+ +

+

+ Note that leaf nodes do not encode any + child pointer triplets, so the maximum number of records in a + leaf node is just the node size minus the leaf node overhead, + divided by the record size. +

+

+ Also note that the first level of internal nodes above the + leaf nodes do not encode the Total Number of Records in Child + Node value in the child pointer triplets (since it is the + same as the Number of Records in Child Node), so the + maximum number of records in these nodes is computed with the + equation above, but using (Child Pointer, Number of + Records in Child Node) pairs instead of triplets. +

+

+ The number of + bytes used to encode this field is the least number of bytes + required to encode the maximum number of records in a child + node value for the child nodes below this level + in the B-tree. +

+

+ For example, if the maximum number of child records is + 123, one byte will be used to encode these values in this + node; if the maximum number of child records is + 20000, two bytes will be used to encode these values in this + node; and so on. The maximum number of bytes used to + encode these values is 8 (in other words, an unsigned + 64-bit integer). +

+

Total Number of Records in Child Node

 +

This is the total number of records for the node pointed to by + the corresponding Node Pointer and all its children. + This field exists only in nodes whose depth in the B-tree node + is greater than 1 (in other words, the “twig” + internal nodes, just above leaf nodes, do not store this + field in their child node pointers). +

+

The number of bytes used to store this field is determined by + the maximum possible number of records able to be stored in the + child node and its descendants. +

+

+ The maximum possible number of records able to be stored in a + child node and its descendants is computed iteratively, in the + following way: The maximum number of records in a leaf node + is computed, then that value is used to compute the maximum + possible number of records in the first level of internal nodes + above the leaf nodes. Multiplying these two values together + determines the maximum possible number of records in child node + pointers for the level of nodes two levels above leaf nodes. + This process is continued up to any level in the B-tree. +

+

+ The number of bytes used to encode this value is computed in + the same way as for the Number of Records in Child Node + field. +

+

+III.B. Disk Format: Level 1B - Group Symbol Table Nodes

+ +

A group is an object internal to the file that allows + arbitrary nesting of objects within the file (including other groups). + A group maps a set of link names in the group to a set of relative + file addresses of objects in the file. Certain metadata for an object to + which the group points can be cached in the group’s symbol table entry in + addition to being in the object’s header.

+ +

An HDF5 object name space can be stored hierarchically by + partitioning the name into components and storing each + component as a link in a group. The link for a + non-ultimate component points to the group containing + the next component. The link for the last + component points to the object being named.

+ +

One implementation of a group is a collection of symbol table nodes + indexed by a B-link tree. Each symbol table node contains entries + for one or more links. If an attempt is made to add a link to an already + full symbol table node containing 2K entries, then the node is + split and one node contains K symbols and the other contains + K+1 symbols.

The ASCII character string “SNOD” is + used to indicate the + beginning of a symbol table node. This gives file + consistency checking utilities a better chance of + reconstructing a damaged file. +

+

Version Number

 +

The version number for the symbol table node. This + document describes version 1. (There is no version ‘0’ + of the symbol table node) +

+

Number of Entries

 +

Although all symbol table nodes have the same length, + most contain fewer than the maximum possible number of + link entries. This field indicates how many entries + contain valid data. The valid entries are packed at the + beginning of the symbol table node while the remaining + entries contain undefined values. +

+

Symbol Table Entries

 +

Each link has an entry in the symbol table node. + The format of the entry is described below. + There are 2K entries in each group node, where + K is the “Group Leaf Node K” value from the + superblock. +

+
+
+ +
+

+III.C. Disk Format: Level 1C - Symbol Table Entry

Field NameDescription

Link Name Offset

 +

This is the byte offset into the group’s local + heap for the name of the link. The name is null + terminated. +

+

Object Header Address

 +

Every object has an object header which serves as a + permanent location for the object’s metadata. In addition + to appearing in the object header, some of the object’s metadata + can be cached in the scratch-pad space. +

+

Cache Type

 +

The cache type is determined from the object header. + It also determines the format for the scratch-pad space: + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
TypeDescription
0No data is cached by the group entry. This + is guaranteed to be the case when an object header + has a link count greater than one. +
1Group object header metadata is cached in the + scratch-pad space. This implies that the symbol table + entry refers to another group. +
2The entry is a symbolic link. The first four bytes + of the scratch-pad space are the offset into the local + heap for the link value. The object header address + will be undefined. +

+ +

Reserved

 +

These four bytes are present so that the scratch-pad + space is aligned on an eight-byte boundary. They are + always set to zero. +

+

Scratch-pad Space

 +

This space is used for different purposes, depending + on the value of the Cache Type field. Any metadata + about an object represented in the scratch-pad + space is duplicated in the object header for that + object. +

+

+ Furthermore, no data is cached in the group + entry scratch-pad space if the object header for + the object has a link count greater than one. +

+
+
+ +
+

Format of the Scratch-pad Space

+ +

The symbol table entry scratch-pad space is formatted + according to the value in the Cache Type field.

+ +

If the Cache Type field contains the value zero + (0) then no information is + stored in the scratch-pad space.

+ +

If the Cache Type field contains the value one + (1), then the scratch-pad space + contains cached metadata for another object header + in the following format:

A local heap is a collection of small pieces of data that are particular + to a single object in the HDF5 file. Objects can be + inserted and removed from the heap at any time. + The address of a heap does not change once the heap is created. + For example, a group stores addresses of objects in symbol table nodes + with the names of links stored in the group’s local heap. +

The ASCII character string “HEAP” + is used to indicate the + beginning of a heap. This gives file consistency + checking utilities a better chance of reconstructing a + damaged file. +

+

Version

 +

Each local heap has its own version number so that new + heaps can be added to old files. This document + describes version zero (0) of the local heap. +

+

Data Segment Size

 +

The total amount of disk memory allocated for the heap + data. This may be larger than the amount of space + required by the objects stored in the heap. The extra + unused space in the heap holds a linked list of free blocks. +

+

Offset to Head of Free-list

 +

This is the offset within the heap data segment of the + first free block (or the + undefined address if there is no + free block). The free block contains “Size of Lengths” bytes that + are the offset of the next free block (or the + value ‘1’ if this is the + last free block) followed by “Size of Lengths” bytes that store + the size of this free block. The size of the free block includes + the space used to store the offset of the next free block and + the size of the current block, making the minimum size of a free + block 2 * “Size of Lengths”. +

+

Address of Data Segment

 +

The data segment originally starts immediately after + the heap header, but if the data segment must grow as a + result of adding more objects, then the data segment may + be relocated, in its entirety, to another part of the + file. +

+
+
+ +

Objects within a local heap should be aligned on an 8-byte boundary.

+ +
+

+III.E. Disk Format: Level 1E - Global Heap

+ +

Each HDF5 file has a global heap which stores various types of + information which is typically shared between datasets. The + global heap was designed to satisfy these goals:

+ +
    +
  1. Repeated access to a heap object must be efficient without + resulting in repeated file I/O requests. Since global heap + objects will typically be shared among several datasets, it is + probable that the object will be accessed repeatedly.
    2. +
  2. Collections of related global heap objects should result in + fewer and larger I/O requests. For instance, a dataset of + object references will have a global heap object for each + reference. Reading the entire set of object references + should result in a few large I/O requests instead of one small + I/O request for each reference.
    3. +
  3. It should be possible to remove objects from the global heap + and the resulting file hole should be eligible to be reclaimed + for other uses.
    4. +
+ + +

The implementation of the heap makes use of the memory management + already available at the file level and combines that with a new + object called a collection to achieve goal B. The global heap + is the set of all collections. Each global heap object belongs to + exactly one collection and each collection contains one or more global + heap objects. For the purposes of disk I/O and caching, a collection is + treated as an atomic object, addressing goal A. +

+ +

When a global heap object is deleted from a collection (which occurs + when its reference count falls to zero), objects located after the + deleted object in the collection are packed down toward the beginning + of the collection and the collection’s global heap object 0 is created + (if possible) or its size is increased to account for the recently + freed space. There are no gaps between objects in each collection, + with the possible exception of the final space in the collection, if + it is not large enough to hold the header for the collection’s global + heap object 0. These features address goal C. +

+ +

The HDF5 Library creates global heap collections as needed, so there may + be multiple collections throughout the file. The set of all of them is + abstractly called the “global heap”, although they do not actually link + to each other, and there is no global place in the file where you can + discover all of the collections. The collections are found simply by + finding a reference to one through another object in the file. For + example, data of variable-length datatype elements is stored in the + global heap and is accessed via a global heap ID. The format for + global heap IDs is described at the end of this section. +

+III.F. Disk Format: Level 1F - Fractal Heap

+ +

+ Each fractal heap consists of a header and zero or more direct and + indirect blocks (described below). The header contains general + information as well as + initialization parameters for the doubling table. The Root + Block Address in the header points to the first direct or + indirect block in the heap. +

+ +

+ Fractal heaps are based on a data structure called a doubling + table. A doubling table provides a mechanism for quickly + extending an array-like data structure that minimizes the number of + empty blocks in the heap, while retaining very fast lookup of any + element within the array. More information on fractal heaps and + doubling tables can be found in the RFC + “Private + Heaps in HDF5.” +

+ +

+ The fractal heap implements the doubling table structure with + indirect and direct blocks. + Indirect blocks in the heap do not actually contain data for + objects in the heap, their “size” is abstract - + they represent the indexing structure for locating the + direct blocks in the doubling table. + Direct blocks + contain the actual data for objects stored in the heap. +

+ +

+ All indirect blocks have a constant number of block entries in each + row, called the width of the doubling table (stored in + the heap header). + + The number + of rows for each indirect block in the heap is determined by the + size of the block that the indirect block represents in the + doubling table (calculation of this is shown below) and is + constant, except for the “root” + indirect block, which expands and shrinks its number of rows as + needed. +

+ +

+ Blocks in the first two rows of an indirect block + are Starting Block Size number of bytes in size, + and the blocks in each subsequent row are twice the size of + the blocks in the previous row. In other words, blocks in + the third row are twice the Starting Block Size, + blocks in the fourth row are four times the + Starting Block Size, and so on. Entries for + blocks up to the Maximum Direct Block Size point to + direct blocks, and entries for blocks greater than that size + point to further indirect blocks (which have their own + entries for direct and indirect blocks). +

+ +

+ The number of rows of blocks, nrows, in an + indirect block of size iblock_size is given by the + following expression: +

+ nrows = (log2(iblock_size) - + log2(<Starting Block Size> * + <Width>)) + 1 +

+ +

+ The maximum number of rows of direct blocks, max_dblock_rows, + in any indirect block of a fractal heap is given by the + following expression: +

+ max_dblock_rows = + (log2(<Max. Direct Block Size>) - + log2(<Starting Block Size>)) + 2 +

+ +

+ Using the computed values for nrows and + max_dblock_rows, along with the Width of the + doubling table, the number of direct and indirect block entries + (K and N in the indirect block description, below) + in an indirect block can be computed: +

+ K = MIN(nrows, max_dblock_rows) * + Width + +

+ If nrows is less than or equal to max_dblock_rows, + N is 0. Otherwise, N is simply computed: +

+ N = K - (max_dblock_rows * + Width) +

+ +

+ The size indirect blocks on disk is determined by the number + of rows in the indirect block (computed above). The size of direct + blocks on disk is exactly the size of the block in the doubling + table. +

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

The number of bytes used to encode + this field is the Maximum Heap Size (in the heap’s + header) divided by 8 and rounded up to the next highest integer, + for values that are not a multiple of 8. This value is + principally used for file integrity checking. +

+

Child Direct Block #K Address

 +

This field is the address of the child direct block. + The size of the [uncompressed] direct block can be computed by + its offset in the heap’s linear address space. +

+

Size of Filtered Direct Block #K

 +

This is the size of the child direct block after passing through + the I/O filters defined for this heap (in bytes). If no I/O + filters are present for this heap, this field is not present. +

+

Filter Mask for Direct Block #K

 +

This is the I/O filter mask for the filtered direct block. + This mask has the same format as that used for the filter mask + in chunked raw data records in a v1 B-tree. + If no I/O filters are present for this heap, this field is not + present. +

+

Child Indirect Block #N Address

 +

This field is the address of the child indirect block. + The size of the indirect block can be computed by + its offset in the heap’s linear address space. +

+

Checksum

 +

This is the checksum for the indirect block.

+
+ +
+ +
+

An object in the fractal heap is identified by means of a fractal heap ID, + which encodes information to locate the object in the heap. + Currently, the fractal heap stores an object in one of three ways, + depending on the object’s size:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
TypeDescription
Tiny +

When an object is small enough to be encoded in the heap ID, the + object’s data is embedded in the fractal heap ID itself. There are + 2 sub-types for this type of object: normal and extended. The + sub-type for tiny heap IDs depends on whether the heap ID is large + enough to store objects greater than 16 bytes or not. If the + heap ID length is 18 bytes or smaller, the ‘normal’ tiny heap ID + form is used. If the heap ID length is greater than 18 bytes in + length, the “extented” form is used. See format description below + for both sub-types. +

+
Huge +

When the size of an object is larger than Maximum Size of + Managed Objects in the Fractal Heap Header, the + object’s data is stored on its own in the file and the object + is tracked/indexed via a version 2 B-tree. All huge objects + for a particular fractal heap use the same v2 B-tree. All huge + objects for a particular fractal heap use the same format for + their huge object IDs. +

+ +

Depending on whether the IDs for a heap are large enough to hold + the object’s retrieval information and whether I/O pipeline filters + are applied to the heap’s objects, 4 sub-types are derived for + huge object IDs for this heap:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Sub-typeDescription
Directly accessed, non-filtered +

The object’s address and length are embedded in the + fractal heap ID itself and the object is directly accessed + from them. This allows the object to be accessed without + resorting to the B-tree. +

+
Directly accessed, filtered +

The filtered object’s address, length, filter mask and + de-filtered size are embedded in the fractal heap ID itself + and the object is accessed directly with them. This allows + the object to be accessed without resorting to the B-tree. +

+
Indirectly accessed, non-filtered +

The object is located by using a B-tree key embedded in + the fractal heap ID to retrieve the address and length from + the version 2 B-tree for huge objects. Then, the address + and length are used to access the object. +

+
Indirectly accessed, filtered +

The object is located by using a B-tree key embedded in + the fractal heap ID to retrieve the filtered object’s + address, length, filter mask and de-filtered size from the + version 2 B-tree for huge objects. Then, this information + is used to access the object. +

+
+
+ +
Managed +

When the size of an object does not meet the above two + conditions, the object is stored and managed via the direct and + indirect blocks based on the doubling table. +

+
+
+ + +

The specific format for each type of heap ID is described below: +

+III.G. Disk Format: Level 1G - Free-space Manager

+ +

+ Free-space managers are used to describe space within a heap or + the entire HDF5 file that is not currently used for that heap or + file. +

+ +

+ The free-space manager header contains metadata information + about the space being tracked, along with the address of the list + of free space sections which actually describes the free + space. The header records information about free-space sections being + tracked, creation parameters for handling free-space sections of a + client, and section information used to locate the collection of + free-space sections. +

+ +

+ The free-space section list stores a collection of + free-space sections that is specific to each client of the + free-space manager. + + For example, the fractal heap is a client of the free space manager + and uses it to track unused space within the heap. There are 4 + types of section records for the fractal heap, each of which has + its own format, listed below. +

+III.H. Disk Format: Level 1H - Shared Object Header Message Table

+ +

+ The shared object header message table is used to locate + object + header messages that are shared between two or more object headers + in the file. Shared object header messages are stored and indexed + in the file in one of two ways: indexed sequentially in a + shared header message list or indexed with a v2 B-tree. + The shared messages themselves are either stored in a fractal + heap (when two or more objects share the message), or remain in an + object’s header (when only one object uses the message currently, + but the message can be shared in the future). +

+ +

+ The shared object header message table + contains a list of shared message index headers. Each index header + records information about the version of the index format, the index + storage type, flags for the message types indexed, the number of + messages in the index, the address where the index resides, + and the fractal heap address if shared messages are stored there. +

+ +

+ Each index can be either a list or a v2 B-tree and may transition + between those two forms as the number of messages in the index + varies. Each shared message record contains information used to + locate the shared message from either a fractal heap or an object + header. The types of messages that can be shared are: Dataspace, + Datatype, Fill Value, Filter Pipeline and Attribute. +

+ +

+ The shared object header message table is pointed to + from a shared message table message + in the superblock extension for a file. This message stores the + version of the table format, along with the number of index headers + in the table. +

+ +

+IV. Disk Format: Level 2 - Data Objects

+ +

Data objects contain the “real” user-visible information in the file. + These objects compose the scientific data and other information which + are generally thought of as “data” by the end-user. All the + other information in the file is provided as a framework for + storing and accessing these data objects. +

+ +

A data object is composed of header and data + information. The header information contains the information + needed to interpret the data information for the object as + well as additional “metadata” or pointers to additional + “metadata” used to describe or annotate each object. +

+ +
+

+IV.A. Disk Format: Level 2A - Data Object Headers

+ +

The header information of an object is designed to encompass + all of the information about an object, except for the data itself. + This information includes the dataspace, the datatype, information + about how the data is stored on disk (in external files, compressed, + broken up in blocks, and so on), as well as other information used + by the library to speed up access to the data objects or maintain + a file’s integrity. Information stored by user applications + as attributes is also stored in the object’s header. The header + of each object is not necessarily located immediately prior to the + object’s data in the file and in fact may be located in any + position in the file. The order of the messages in an object header + is not significant.

+ +

Object headers are composed of a prefix and a set of messages. The + prefix contains the information needed to interpret the messages and + a small amount of metadata about the object, and the messages contain + the majority of the metadata about the object. +

+ +
+

+IV.A.1. Disk Format: Level 2A1 - Data Object Header Prefix

+ +
+

+IV.A.1.a. Version 1 Data Object Header Prefix

+ +

Header messages are aligned on 8-byte boundaries for version 1 + object headers. +

Version

 +

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in the object header. When the format of the + object header is changed, the version number + is incremented and can be used to determine how the + information in the object header is formatted. This + is version one (1) (there was no version zero (0)) of the + object header. +

+

Total Number of Header Messages

 +

This value determines the total number of messages listed in + object headers for this object. This value includes the messages + in continuation messages for this object. +

+

+

Size of Header Message #n Data

 +

This value specifies the number of bytes of header + message data following the header message type and length + information for the current message. The size includes + padding bytes to make the message a multiple of eight + bytes. +

+

Header Message #n Flags

 +

This is a bit field with the following definition: + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
BitDescription
0If set, the message data is constant. This is used + for messages like the datatype message of a dataset. +
1If set, the message is shared and stored + in another location than the object header. The Header + Message Data field contains a Shared Message + (described in the Data Object Header Messages + section below) + and the Size of Header Message Data field + contains the size of that Shared Message. +
2If set, the message should not be shared. +
3If set, the HDF5 decoder should fail to open this object + if it does not understand the message’s type and the file + is open with permissions allowing write access to the file. + (Normally, unknown messages can just be ignored by HDF5 + decoders) +
4If set, the HDF5 decoder should set bit 5 of this + message’s flags (in other words, this bit field) + if it does not understand the message’s type + and the object is modified in any way. (Normally, + unknown messages can just be ignored by HDF5 + decoders) +
5If set, this object was modified by software that did not + understand this message. + (Normally, unknown messages should just be ignored by HDF5 + decoders) (Can be used to invalidate an index or a similar + feature) +
6If set, this message is shareable. +
7If set, the HDF5 decoder should always fail to open this + object if it does not understand the message’s type (whether + it is open for read-only or read-write access). (Normally, + unknown messages can just be ignored by HDF5 decoders) +

+ +

Header Message #n Data

 +

The format and length of this field is determined by the + header message type and size respectively. Some header + message types do not require any data and this information + can be eliminated by setting the length of the message to + zero. The data is padded with enough zeroes to make the + size a multiple of eight. +

+
+
+ +
+

+IV.A.1.b. Version 2 Data Object Header Prefix

+ +

Note that the “total number of messages” field has been dropped from + the data object header prefix in this version. The number of messages + in the data object header is just determined by the messages encountered + in all the object header blocks.

+ +

Note also that the fields and messages in this version of data object + headers have no alignment or padding bytes inserted - they are + stored packed together.

+

Header Message #n Data

 +

Same format as version 1 of the object header, described above. +

+

Gap

 +

A gap in an object header chunk is inferred by the end of the + messages for the chunk before the beginning of the chunk’s + checksum. Gaps are always smaller than the size of an + object header message prefix (message type + message size + + message flags). +

+

Gaps are formed when a message (typically an attribute message) + in an earlier chunk is deleted and a message from a later + chunk that does not quite fit into the free space is moved + into the earlier chunk. +

+

Checksum

 +

This is the checksum for the object header chunk. +

+
+
+ +

The header message types and the message data associated with + them compose the critical “metadata” about each object. Some + header messages are required for each object while others are + optional. Some optional header messages may also be repeated + several times in the header itself, the requirements and number + of times allowed in the header will be noted in each header + message description below. +

+ + +
+

+IV.A.2. Disk Format: Level 2A2 - Data Object Header Messages

+ +

Data object header messages are small pieces of metadata that are + stored in the data object header for each object in an HDF5 file. + Data object header messages provide the metadata required to describe + an object and its contents, as well as optional pieces of metadata + that annotate the meaning or purpose of the object. +

+ +

Data object header messages are either stored directly in the data + object header for the object or are shared between multiple objects + in the file. When a message is shared, a flag in the Message Flags + indicates that the actual Message Data + portion of that message is stored in another location (such as another + data object header, or a heap in the file) and the Message Data + field contains the information needed to locate the actual information + for the message. +

+ +

+ The format of shared message data is described here:

Header Message Name: Datatype
Header Message Type: 0x0003 +
Length: Variable
Status: Required for dataset or committed + datatype (formerly named datatype) objects; may not be repeated. +
Description:

The datatype message defines the datatype for each element + of a dataset or a common datatype for sharing between multiple + datasets. A datatype can describe an atomic type like a fixed- + or floating-point type or more complex types like a C struct + (compound datatype), array (array datatype) or C++ vector + (variable-length datatype).

Class and Version

 +

The version of the datatype message and the datatype’s class + information are packed together in this field. The version + number is packed in the top 4 bits of the field and the class + is contained in the bottom 4 bits. +

+

The version number information is used for changes in the + format of the datatype message and is described here: + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
VersionDescription
0Never used +
1Used by early versions of the library to encode + compound datatypes with explicit array fields. + See the compound datatype description below for + further details. +
2Used when an array datatype needs to be encoded. +
3Used when a VAX byte-ordered type needs to be + encoded. Packs various other datatype classes more + efficiently also. +

+ +

The class of the datatype determines the format for the class + bit field and properties portion of the datatype message, which + are described below. The + following classes are currently defined: + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Field NameDescription

Name Offset in Local Heap

 +

The byte offset within the local name heap for the name + of the file. File names are stored as a URL which has a + protocol name, a host name, a port number, and a file + name: + protocol:port//host/file. + If the protocol is omitted then “file:” is assumed. If + the port number is omitted then a default port for that + protocol is used. If both the protocol and the port + number are omitted then the colon can also be omitted. If + the double slash and host name are omitted then + “localhost” is assumed. The file name is the only + mandatory part, and if the leading slash is missing then + it is relative to the application’s current working + directory (the use of relative names is not + recommended). +

+

Offset in External Data File

 +

This is the byte offset to the start of the data in the + specified file. For files that contain data for a single + dataset this will usually be zero.

+

Data Size in External File

 +

This is the total number of bytes reserved in the + specified file for raw data storage. For a file that + contains exactly one complete dataset which is not + extendable, the size will usually be the exact size of the + dataset. However, by making the size larger one allows + HDF5 to extend the dataset. The size can be set to a value + larger than the entire file since HDF5 will read zeroes + past the end of the file without failing.

IV.A.2.i. The Data Storage - Layout +Message

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
Header Message Name: Data Storage - + Layout
Header Message Type: 0x0008
Length: Varies
Status: Required for datasets; may not + be repeated.
Description:Data layout describes how the elements of a multi-dimensional + array are stored in the HDF5 file. Three types of data layout + are supported: +
    +
  1. Contiguous: The array is stored in one contiguous area of + the file. This layout requires that the size of the array be + constant: data manipulations such as chunking, compression, + checksums, or encryption are not permitted. The message stores + the total storage size of the array. The offset of an element + from the beginning of the storage area is computed as in a C + array.
    2. +
  2. Chunked: The array domain is regularly decomposed into + chunks, and each chunk is allocated and stored separately. This + layout supports arbitrary element traversals, compression, + encryption, and checksums. (these features are described + in other messages). The message stores the size of a chunk + instead of the size of the entire array; the storage size of + the entire array can be calculated by traversing the B-tree + that stores the chunk addresses.
    3. +
  3. Compact: The array is stored in one contiguous block, as + part of this object header message.
    4. +
Format of Data: See the tables + below.

VersionDescription
0Never used.
1Used by version 1.4 and before of the library to encode layout information. + Data space is always allocated when the data set is created.
2Used by version 1.6.x of the library to encode layout information. + Data space is allocated only when it is necessary.

+

Dimensionality

An array has a fixed dimensionality. This field + specifies the number of dimension size fields later in the + message. The value stored for chunked storage is 1 greater than + the number of dimensions in the dataset’s dataspace. + For example, 2 is stored for a 1 dimensional dataset. +

+

Layout Class

The layout class specifies the type of storage for the data + and how the other fields of the layout message are to be + interpreted. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
ValueDescription
0Compact Storage +
1Contiguous Storage +
2Chunked Storage +
+

+

Data Address

For contiguous storage, this is the address of the raw + data in the file. For chunked storage this is the address + of the v1 B-tree that is used to look up the addresses of the + chunks. This field is not present for compact storage. + If the version for this message is greater than 1, the address + may have the “undefined address” value, to indicate that + storage has not yet been allocated for this array.

+

Dimension #n Size

For contiguous and compact storage the dimensions define + the entire size of the array while for chunked storage they define + the size of a single chunk. In all cases, they are in units of + array elements (not bytes). The first dimension stored in the list + of dimensions is the slowest changing dimension and the last + dimension stored is the fastest changing dimension. +

+

Dataset Element Size

The size of a dataset element, in bytes. This field is only + present for chunked storage. +

+

Compact Data Size

This field is only present for compact data storage. + It contains the size of the raw data for the dataset array, in + bytes.

IV.A.2.m. The Attribute Message

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
Header Message Name: Attribute
Header Message Type: 0x000C
Length: Varies
Status: Optional; may be + repeated.
Description:

The Attribute message is used to store objects + in the HDF5 file which are used as attributes, or + “metadata” about the current object. An attribute + is a small dataset; it has a name, a datatype, a dataspace, and + raw data. Since attributes are stored in the object header, they + should be relatively small (in other words, less than 64KB). + They can be associated with any type of object which has an + object header (groups, datasets, or committed (named) + datatypes).

+

In 1.8.x versions of the library, attributes can be larger + than 64KB. See the + + “Special Issues” section of the Attributes chapter + in the HDF5 User’s Guide for more information.

+

Note: Attributes on an object must have unique names: + the HDF5 Library currently enforces this by causing the + creation of an attribute with a duplicate name to fail. + Attributes on different objects may have the same name, + however.

Format of Data: See the tables + below.

 +

A gap in an object header chunk is inferred by the end of the + messages for the chunk before the beginning of the chunk’s + checksum. Gaps are always smaller than the size of an + object header message prefix (message type + message size + + message flags).

+

Gaps are formed when a message (typically an attribute message) + in an earlier chunk is deleted and a message from a later + chunk that does not quite fit into the free space is moved + into the earlier chunk.

+

1With this strategy, the HDF5 Library’s free-space managers track the + free space that results from the manipulation of HDF5 objects + in the HDF5 file. The free space information is saved when the + file is closed, and reloaded when the file is reopened. +
+ When space is needed for file metadata or raw data, + the HDF5 Library first requests space from the library’s free-space + managers. If the request is not satisfied, the library requests space + from the aggregators. If the request is still not satisfied, + the library requests space from the virtual file driver. + That is, the library will use all of the mechanisms for allocating + space. +
2This is the HDF5 Library’s default file space management strategy. + With this strategy, the library’s free-space managers track the free space + that results from the manipulation of HDF5 objects in the HDF5 file. + The free space information is NOT saved when the file is closed and + the free space that exists upon file closing becomes unaccounted + space in the file. +
+ As with strategy #1, the library will try all of the mechanisms + for allocating space. When space is needed for file metadata or + raw data, the library first requests space from the free-space + managers. If the request is not satisfied, the library requests + space from the aggregators. If the request is still not satisfied, + the library requests space from the virtual file driver. +
3With this strategy, the HDF5 Library does not track free space that results + from the manipulation of HDF5 objects in the HDF5 file and + the free space becomes unaccounted space in the file. +
+ When space is needed for file metadata or raw data, + the library first requests space from the aggregators. + If the request is not satisfied, the library requests space from + the virtual file driver. +
4With this strategy, the HDF5 Library does not track free space that results + from the manipulation of HDF5 objects in the HDF5 file and + the free space becomes unaccounted space in the file. +
+ When space is needed for file metadata or raw data, + the library requests space from the virtual file driver. +

+

Threshold

This is the free-space section threshold. + The library’s free-space managers will track only + free-space sections with size greater than or equal to + threshold. The default is to track free-space + sections of all sizes.

+

Superblock Free-space Manager Address

This is the address of the free-space manager for + H5FD_MEM_SUPER allocation type. +

+

B-tree Free-space Manager Address

This is the address of the free-space manager for + H5FD_MEM_BTREE allocation type. +

+

Raw Data Free-space Manager Address

This is the address of the free-space manager for + H5FD_MEM_DRAW allocation type. +

+

Global Heap Free-space Manager Address

This is the address of the free-space manager for + H5FD_MEM_GHEAP allocation type. +

+

Local Heap Free-space Manager Address

This is the address of the free-space manager for + H5FD_MEM_LHEAP allocation type. +

+

Object Header Free-space Manager Address

This is the address of the free-space manager for + H5FD_MEM_OHDR allocation type. +

+

+
+ + +
+

+IV.B. Disk Format: Level 2B - Data Object Data Storage

+ +

The data for an object is stored separately from its header + information in the file and may not actually be located in the HDF5 file + itself if the header indicates that the data is stored externally. The + information for each record in the object is stored according to the + dimensionality of the object (indicated in the dataspace header message). + Multi-dimensional array data is stored in C order; in other words, the + “last” dimension changes fastest.

+ +

Data whose elements are composed of atomic datatypes are stored in IEEE + format, unless they are specifically defined as being stored in a different + machine format with the architecture-type information from the datatype + header message. This means that each architecture will need to [potentially] + byte-swap data values into the internal representation for that particular + machine.

+ +

Data with a variable-length datatype is stored in the global heap + of the HDF5 file. Global heap identifiers are stored in the + data object storage.

+ +

Data whose elements are composed of reference datatypes are stored in + several different ways depending on the particular reference type involved. + Object pointers are just stored as the offset of the object header being + pointed to with the size of the pointer being the same number of bytes as + offsets in the file.

+ +

Dataset region references are stored as a heap-ID which points to +the following information within the file-heap: an offset of the object +pointed to, number-type information (same format as header message), +dimensionality information (same format as header message), sub-set start +and end information (in other words, a coordinate location for each), +and field start and end names (in other words, a [pointer to the] string +indicating the first field included and a [pointer to the] string name +for the last field).

+ +

Data of a compound datatype is stored as a contiguous stream of the items + in the structure, with each item formatted according to its datatype.

+ + + +
+

+VI. Appendix B: File Memory Allocation Types

+ +

There are six basic types of file memory allocation as follows: +

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Basic Allocation TypeDescription
H5FD_MEM_SUPERFile memory allocated for Superblock.
H5FD_MEM_BTREEFile memory allocated for B-tree.
H5FD_MEM_DRAWFile memory allocated for raw data.
H5FD_MEM_GHEAPFile memory allocated for Global Heap.
H5FD_MEM_LHEAPFile memory allocated for Local Heap.
H5FD_MEM_OHDRFile memory allocated for Object Header.
+
+ +

There are other file memory allocation types that are mapped to the +above six basic allocation types because they are similar in nature. +The mapping is listed in the following table: +

I. Introduction

 + + + + + + + +
  +
+ HDF5 Groups + 		 
  + Figure 1: Relationships among the HDF5 root group, other groups, and objects +
+ 		 
  + HDF5 Objects +  
  + Figure 2: HDF5 objects -- datasets, datatypes, or dataspaces +
+ 		 
+ + +

The format of an HDF5 file on disk encompasses several + key ideas of the HDF4 and AIO file formats as well as + addressing some shortcomings therein. The new format is + more self-describing than the HDF4 format and is more + uniformly applied to data objects in the file.

+ +

An HDF5 file appears to the user as a directed graph. + The nodes of this graph are the higher-level HDF5 objects + that are exposed by the HDF5 APIs:

+ +
    +
  • Groups
    • +
  • Datasets
    • +
  • Committed (formerly Named) datatypes
    • +
+ +

At the lowest level, as information is actually written to the disk, + an HDF5 file is made up of the following objects:

+
    +
  • A superblock
    • +
  • B-tree nodes
    • +
  • Heap blocks
    • +
  • Object headers
    • +
  • Object data
    • +
  • Free space
    • +
+ +

The HDF5 Library uses these low-level objects to represent the + higher-level objects that are then presented to the user or + to applications through the APIs. For instance, a group is an + object header that contains a message that points to a local + heap (for storing the links to objects in the group) and to a + B-tree (which indexes the links). A dataset is an object header + that contains messages that describe the datatype, dataspace, + layout, filters, external files, fill value, and other elements + with the layout message pointing to either a raw data chunk or + to a B-tree that points to raw data chunks.

+ + +

I.A. This Document

 + +

This document describes the lower-level data objects; + the higher-level objects and their properties are described + in the HDF5 User’s Guide.

+ +

Three levels of information comprise the file format. + Level 0 contains basic information for identifying and + defining information about the file. Level 1 information contains + the information about the pieces of a file shared by many objects + in the file (such as B-trees and heaps). Level 2 is the rest + of the file and contains all of the data objects with each object + partitioned into header information, also known as + metadata, and data.

+ +

The various components of the lower-level data objects are + described in pairs of tables. The first table shows the format + layout, and the second table describes the fields. The titles + of format layout tables begin with “Layout”. The + titles of the tables where the fields are described begin with + “Fields”. For example, the table that describes the + format of the version 2 B-tree header has + a title of “Layout: Version 2 B-tree Header”, and the + fields in the version 2 B-tree header are described in the table + titled “Fields: Version 2 B-tree Header”. + +

The sizes of various fields in the following layout tables are + determined by looking at the number of columns the field spans + in the table. There are exceptions:

+
    +
  • The size may be overridden by specifying a size in + parentheses
    • +
  • The size of addresses is determined by the + Size of Offsets field + in the superblock and is indicated in this document with a + superscripted ‘O’
    • +
  • The size of length fields is determined by the + Size of Lengths field in + the superblock and is indicated in this document with a + superscripted ‘L’
    • +
+ +

Values for all fields in this document should be treated as unsigned + integers, unless otherwise noted in the description of a field. + Additionally, all metadata fields are stored in little-endian byte + order. +

+ +

All checksums used in the format are computed with the + Jenkins’ + lookup3 algorithm. +

+ +

Whenever a bit flag or field is mentioned for an entry, bits are + numbered from the lowest bit position in the entry. +

+ +

Various format tables in this document have cells with + “This space inserted only to align table nicely”. These + entries in the table are just to make the table presentation nicer + and do not represent any values or padding in the file. +

+ + +

I.B. Changes for HDF5 1.12

 +

The following sections have been + changed or added for the 1.12 release:

+ + + + +

I.C. Changes for HDF5 1.10

 + +

The following sections have been + changed or added for the 1.10 release:

+ + + + +

+ II. Disk Format: Level 0 - File Metadata

+ + + +

+ II.A. Disk Format: Level 0A - Format Signature and Superblock

+ +

The superblock may begin at certain predefined offsets within + the HDF5 file, allowing a block of unspecified content for + users to place additional information at the beginning (and + end) of the HDF5 file without limiting the HDF5 Library’s + ability to manage the objects within the file itself. This + feature was designed to accommodate wrapping an HDF5 file in + another file format or adding descriptive information to an HDF5 + file without requiring the modification of the actual file’s + information. The superblock is located by searching for the + HDF5 format signature at byte offset 0, byte offset 512, and at + successive locations in the file, each a multiple of two of + the previous location; in other words, at these byte offsets: + 0, 512, 1024, 2048, and so on.

+ +

The superblock is composed of the format signature, followed by a + superblock version number and information that is specific to each + version of the superblock. + +

Currently, there are four versions of the superblock format: +

    +
  • Version 0 is the default format.
    • +
  • Version 1 is the same as version 0 but with the + “Indexed Storage Internal Node K” field + for storing non-default B-tree ‘K’ value.
    • +
  • Version 2 has some fields eliminated and compressed from + superblock format versions 0 and 1. It has added checksum support + and superblock extension to store additional superblock + metadata.
    • +
  • Version 3 is the same as version 2 except that the field + “File Consistency Flags” is used for file + locking. This format version will enable support for the latest + version.
    • +
+ +

Versions 0 and 1 of the superblock are described below:

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ Fields: Superblock (Versions 0 and 1) +
Field NameDescription

Format Signature

This field contains a constant value and can be used to + quickly identify a file as being an HDF5 file. The + constant value is designed to allow easy identification of + an HDF5 file and to allow certain types of data corruption + to be detected. The file signature of an HDF5 file always + contains the following values:

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Decimal:13772687013102610
Hexadecimal:894844460d0a1a0a
ASCII C Notation:\211HDF\r\n\032\n
+
+

This signature both identifies the file as an HDF5 file + and provides for immediate detection of common + file-transfer problems. The first two bytes distinguish + HDF5 files on systems that expect the first two bytes to + identify the file type uniquely. The first byte is + chosen as a non-ASCII value to reduce the probability + that a text file may be misrecognized as an HDF5 file; + also, it catches bad file transfers that clear bit + 7. Bytes two through four name the format. The CR-LF + sequence catches bad file transfers that alter newline + sequences. The control-Z character stops file display + under MS-DOS. The final line feed checks for the inverse + of the CR-LF translation problem. (This is a direct + descendent of the + PNG file + signature.)

+

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

Version Number of the Superblock

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in the superblock. When the format of the + information in the superblock is changed, the version number + is incremented to the next integer and can be used to + determine how the information in the superblock is + formatted.

+ +

Values of 0, 1 and 2 are defined for this field (the + format of version 2 is described below, not here). +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+

Version Number of the File’s Free Space + Information

 +

This value is used to determine the format of the + file’s free space information. +

+

The only value currently valid in this field is ‘0’, which + indicates that the file’s free space is as described + below. +

+ +

This field is present in versions 0 and 1 of the + superblock. +

+

Version Number of the Root Group Symbol Table + Entry

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in the Root Group Symbol Table Entry. When the + format of the information in that field is changed, the + version number is incremented to the next integer and can be + used to determine how the information in the field + is formatted.

+

The only value currently valid in this field is ‘0’, + which indicates that the root group symbol table entry is + formatted as described below.

+

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the + superblock.

+

Version Number of the Shared Header Message Format

This value is used to determine the format of the + information in a shared object header message. Since the format + of the shared header messages differs from the other private + header messages, a version number is used to identify changes + in the format. +

+

The only value currently valid in this field is ‘0’, which + indicates that shared header messages are formatted as + described below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the superblock. +

+

Size of Offsets

This value contains the number of bytes used to store + addresses in the file. The values for the addresses of + objects in the file are offsets relative to a base address, + usually the address of the superblock signature. This + allows a wrapper to be added after the file is created + without invalidating the internal offset locations. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+

Size of Lengths

This value contains the number of bytes used to store + the size of an object. +

+

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+

Group Leaf Node K

 +

Each leaf node of a group B-tree will have at + least this many entries but not more than twice this + many. If a group has a single leaf node then it + may have fewer entries. +

+

This value must be greater than zero. +

+

See the description of B-trees below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the superblock. +

+

Group Internal Node K

 +

Each internal node of a group B-tree will have at + least this many entries but not more than twice this + many. If the group has only one internal + node then it might have fewer entries. +

+

This value must be greater than zero. +

+

See the description of B-trees below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 0 and 1 of the superblock. +

+

File Consistency Flags

 +

This field is unused and should be ignored. +

+

This field is present in version 0+ of the superblock. +

+

Indexed Storage Internal Node K

 +

Each internal node of an indexed storage B-tree will have at + least this many entries but not more than twice this + many. If the index storage B-tree has only one internal + node then it might have fewer entries. +

+

This value must be greater than zero. +

+

See the description of B-trees below. +

+ +

This field is present in version 1 of the superblock. +

+

Base Address

 +

This is the absolute file address of the first byte of + the HDF5 data within the file. The library currently + constrains this value to be the absolute file address + of the superblock itself when creating new files; + future versions of the library may provide greater + flexibility. When opening an existing file and this address does + not match the offset of the superblock, the library assumes + that the entire contents of the HDF5 file have been adjusted in + the file and adjusts the base address and end of file address to + reflect their new positions in the file.

+

Driver Information Size

 +

The size in bytes of the Driver Information field. +

+

Driver Identification

 +

This is an eight-byte ASCII string without null + termination which identifies the driver and/or version number + of the Driver Information Block. The predefined driver encoded + in this field by the HDF5 Library is identified by the + letters NCSA followed by the first four characters of + the driver name. If the Driver Information block is not + the original version then the last letter(s) of the + identification will be replaced by a version number in + ASCII, starting with 0. +

+

+ Identification for user-defined drivers is also eight-byte long. + It can be arbitrary but should be unique to avoid + the four character prefix “NCSA”. +

+

Driver Information

Driver information is stored in a format defined by the + file driver (see description below).
+
+ +
+

The two drivers encoded in the Driver Identification + field are as follows:

+
    +
  • + Multi driver: +

    + The identifier for this driver is “NCSAmulti”. + This driver provides a mechanism for segregating raw data and different types of metadata + into multiple files. + These files are viewed by the library as a single virtual HDF5 file with a single file address. + A maximum of 6 files will be created for the following data: + superblock, B-tree, raw data, global heap, local heap, and object header. + More than one type of data can be written to the same file. +

    • +
  • + Family driver +

    + The identifier for this driver is “NCSAfami” and is encoded in this field for library version 1.8 and after. + This driver is designed for systems that do not support files larger than 2 gigabytes + by splitting the HDF5 file address space across several smaller files. + It does nothing to segregate metadata and raw data; + they are mixed in the address space just as they would be in a single contiguous file. +

    • +

The format of the Driver Information field for the + above two drivers are described below:

+ +

The superblock extension is used to store superblock metadata + which is either optional, or added after the version of the superblock + was defined. Superblock extensions may only exist when version 2 + or later of the superblock is used. A superblock extension is an object + header which may hold the following messages:

+ + + + +

+ III. Disk Format: Level 1 - File Infrastructure

+ +

+ III.A. Disk Format: Level 1A - B-trees and B-tree Nodes

+ +

B-trees allow flexible storage for objects which tend to grow + in ways that cause the object to be stored discontiguously. B-trees + are described in various algorithms books including “Introduction to + Algorithms” by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, and Ronald + L. Rivest. B-trees are used in several places in the HDF5 file format, + when an index is needed for another data structure.

+ +

The version 1 B-tree structure described below is the original + index structure. The version 1 B-trees are being phased out in + favor of the version 2 B-trees described below. Note that both + types of structures may be found in the same file depending on + the application settings when creating the file.

+ +

+ III.A.1. Disk Format: Level 1A1 - Version 1 B-trees

+ +

Version 1 B-trees in HDF5 files are an implementation of the + B-link tree. The sibling nodes at a particular level in + the tree are stored in a doubly-linked list. See the + “Efficient Locking for Concurrent Operations on B-trees” + paper by Phillip Lehman and S. Bing Yao as published in the + ACM Transactions on Database Systems, Vol. 6, No. 4, + December 1981.

+ +

The B-trees implemented by the file format contain one more + key than the number of children. In other words, each child + pointer out of a B-tree node has a left key and a right key. + The pointers out of internal nodes point to sub-trees while + the pointers out of leaf nodes point to symbol nodes and + raw data chunks. + Aside from that difference, internal nodes and leaf nodes + are identical.

+ Fields: B-tree Nodes +
Field NameDescription

Signature

 +

The ASCII character string “TREE” + is used to indicate the beginning of a B-tree node. This + gives file consistency checking utilities a better chance + of reconstructing a damaged file. +

+

Node Type

 +

Each B-tree points to a particular type of data. + This field indicates the type of data as well as + implying the maximum degree K of the tree and + the size of each Key field. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Node TypeDescription
0This tree points to group nodes.
1This tree points to raw data chunk nodes.

+

Node Level

 +

The node level indicates the level at which this node + appears in the tree (leaf nodes are at level zero). Not + only does the level indicate whether child pointers + point to sub-trees or to data, but it can also be used + to help file consistency checking utilities reconstruct + damaged trees. +

+

Entries Used

 +

This determines the number of children to which this + node points. All nodes of a particular type of tree + have the same maximum degree, but most nodes will point + to less than that number of children. The valid child + pointers and keys appear at the beginning of the node + and the unused pointers and keys appear at the end of + the node. The unused pointers and keys have undefined + values. +

+

Address of Left Sibling

 +

This is the relative file address of the left sibling of + the current node. If the current + node is the left-most node at this level then this field + is the undefined address. +

+

Address of Right Sibling

 +

This is the relative file address of the right sibling of + the current node. If the current + node is the right-most node at this level then this + field is the undefined address. +

+

Keys and Child Pointers

 +

Each tree has 2K+1 keys with 2K + child pointers interleaved between the keys. The number + of keys and child pointers actually containing valid + values is determined by the node’s Entries + Used field. If that field is N, then the + B-tree contains N child pointers and + N+1 keys. +

+

Key

 +

The format and size of the key values is determined by + the type of data to which this tree points. The keys are + ordered and are boundaries for the contents of the child + pointer; that is, the key values represented by child + N fall between Key N and Key + N+1. Whether the interval is open or closed on + each end is determined by the type of data to which the + tree points. +

+ +

+ The format of the key depends on the node type. + For nodes of node type 0 (group nodes), the key is formatted as + follows: + + + + + + +
A single field of + Size of Lengths + bytes:Indicates the byte offset into the local heap + for the first object name in the subtree which + that key describes. +
+

+ + +

+ For nodes of node type 1 (chunked raw data nodes), the key is + formatted as follows: + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Bytes 1-4:Size of chunk in bytes.
Bytes 4-8:Filter mask, a 32-bit bit field indicating which + filters have been skipped for this chunk. Each filter + has an index number in the pipeline (starting at 0, with + the first filter to apply) and if that filter is skipped, + the bit corresponding to its index is set.
(D + 1) 64-bit fields:The offset of the + chunk within the dataset where D is the number + of dimensions of the dataset, and the last value is the + offset within the dataset’s datatype and should + always be zero. For example, if + a chunk in a 3-dimensional dataset begins at the + position [5,5,5], there will be three + such 64-bit values, each with the value of + 5, followed by a 0 value.
+

+ +

Child Pointer

 +

The tree node contains file addresses of subtrees or + data depending on the node level. Nodes at Level 0 point + to data addresses, either raw data chunks or group nodes. + Nodes at non-zero levels point to other nodes of the + same B-tree. +

+

For raw data chunk nodes, the child pointer is the address + of a single raw data chunk. For group nodes, the child pointer + points to a symbol table, which contains + information for multiple symbol table entries. +

+
+
+ +

+ Conceptually, each B-tree node looks like this:

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
key[0] child[0] key[1] child[1] key[2] ... ... key[N-1] child[N-1] key[N]
+
+
+ + where child[i] is a pointer to a sub-tree (at a level + above Level 0) or to data (at Level 0). + Each key[i] describes an item stored by the B-tree + (a chunk or an object of a group node). The range of values + represented by child[i] is indicated by key[i] + and key[i+1]. + + +

The following question must next be answered: + “Is the value described by key[i] contained in + child[i-1] or in child[i]?” + The answer depends on the type of tree. + In trees for groups (node type 0), the object described by + key[i] is the greatest object contained in + child[i-1] while in chunk trees (node type 1) the + chunk described by key[i] is the least chunk in + child[i].

+ +

That means that key[0] for group trees is sometimes unused; + it points to offset zero in the heap, which is always the + empty string and compares as “less-than” any valid + object name.

+ +

And key[N] for chunk trees is sometimes unused; + it contains a chunk offset which compares as “greater-than” + any other chunk offset and has a chunk byte size of zero + to indicate that it is not actually allocated.

+ +

+ III.A.2. Disk Format: Level 1A2 - Version 2 B-trees

+ +

Version 2 (v2) B-trees are “traditional” B-trees + with one major difference. Instead of just using a simple pointer + (or address in the file) to a child of an internal node, the pointer + to the child node contains two additional pieces of information: + the number of records in the child node itself, and the total number + of records in the child node and all its descendants. Storing this + additional information allows fast array-like indexing to locate + the nth record in the B-tree.

+ +

The entry into a version 2 B-tree is a header which contains global + information about the structure of the B-tree. The root node + address + field in the header points to the B-tree root node, which is either an + internal or leaf node, depending on the value in the header’s + depth field. An internal node consists of records plus + pointers to further leaf or internal nodes in the tree. A leaf node + consists of solely of records. The format of the records depends on + the B-tree type (stored in the header).

+

The version number for this B-tree internal node. + This document describes version 0. +

+

Type

 +

This field is the type of the B-tree node. It should always + be the same as the B-tree type in the header. +

+

Records

 +

The size of this field is determined by the number of records + for this node and the record size (from the header). The format + of records depends on the type of B-tree. +

+

Child Node Pointer

 +

This field is the address of the child node pointed to by the + internal node. +

+

Number of Records in Child Node

 +

This is the number of records in the child node pointed to by + the corresponding Node Pointer. +

+

The number of bytes used to store this field is determined by + the maximum possible number of records able to be stored in the + child node. +

+

+ The maximum number of records in a child node is computed + in the following way: + +

    +
  • Subtract the fixed size overhead for + the child node (for example, its signature, version, + checksum, and so on and one pointer triplet + of information for the child node (because there is one + more pointer triplet than records in each internal node)) + from the size of nodes for the B-tree.
    • +
  • Divide that result by the size of a record plus the + pointer triplet of information stored to reach each + child node from this node.
    • +
+ +

+

+ Note that leaf nodes do not encode any + child pointer triplets, so the maximum number of records in a + leaf node is just the node size minus the leaf node overhead, + divided by the record size. +

+

+ Also note that the first level of internal nodes above the + leaf nodes do not encode the Total Number of Records in Child + Node value in the child pointer triplets (since it is the + same as the Number of Records in Child Node), so the + maximum number of records in these nodes is computed with the + equation above, but using (Child Pointer, Number of + Records in Child Node) pairs instead of triplets. +

+

+ The number of + bytes used to encode this field is the least number of bytes + required to encode the maximum number of records in a child + node value for the child nodes below this level + in the B-tree. +

+

+ For example, if the maximum number of child records is + 123, one byte will be used to encode these values in this + node; if the maximum number of child records is + 20000, two bytes will be used to encode these values in this + node; and so on. The maximum number of bytes used to + encode these values is 8 (in other words, an unsigned + 64-bit integer). +

+

Total Number of Records in Child Node

 +

This is the total number of records for the node pointed to by + the corresponding Node Pointer and all its children. + This field exists only in nodes whose depth in the B-tree node + is greater than 1 (in other words, the “twig” + internal nodes, just above leaf nodes, do not store this + field in their child node pointers). +

+

The number of bytes used to store this field is determined by + the maximum possible number of records able to be stored in the + child node and its descendants. +

+

+ The maximum possible number of records able to be stored in a + child node and its descendants is computed iteratively, in the + following way: The maximum number of records in a leaf node + is computed, then that value is used to compute the maximum + possible number of records in the first level of internal nodes + above the leaf nodes. Multiplying these two values together + determines the maximum possible number of records in child node + pointers for the level of nodes two levels above leaf nodes. + This process is continued up to any level in the B-tree. +

+

+ The number of bytes used to encode this value is computed in + the same way as for the Number of Records in Child Node + field. +

+

+ III.B. Disk Format: Level 1B - Group Symbol Table Nodes

+ +

A group is an object internal to the file that allows + arbitrary nesting of objects within the file (including other + groups). A group maps a set of link names in the group to a set + of relative file addresses of objects in the file. Certain metadata + for an object to which the group points can be cached in the + group’s symbol table entry in addition to being in the + object’s header.

+ +

An HDF5 object name space can be stored hierarchically by + partitioning the name into components and storing each + component as a link in a group. The link for a + non-ultimate component points to the group containing + the next component. The link for the last + component points to the object being named.

+ +

One implementation of a group is a collection of symbol table + nodes indexed by a B-tree. Each symbol table node contains entries + for one or more links. If an attempt is made to add a link to an + already full symbol table node containing 2K entries, then + the node is split and one node contains K symbols and the + other contains K+1 symbols.

+

Version Number

 +

The version number for the symbol table node. This + document describes version 1. (There is no version ‘0’ + of the symbol table node) +

+

Number of Entries

 +

Although all symbol table nodes have the same length, + most contain fewer than the maximum possible number of + link entries. This field indicates how many entries + contain valid data. The valid entries are packed at the + beginning of the symbol table node while the remaining + entries contain undefined values. +

+

Symbol Table Entries

 +

Each link has an entry in the symbol table node. + The format of the entry is described below. + There are 2K entries in each group node, where + K is the “Group Leaf Node K” value from the + superblock. +

+
+
+ +

+ III.C. Disk Format: Level 1C - Symbol Table Entry

Link Name Offset

 +

This is the byte offset into the group’s local + heap for the name of the link. The name is null + terminated. +

+

Object Header Address

 +

Every object has an object header which serves as a + permanent location for the object’s metadata. In addition + to appearing in the object header, some of the object’s metadata + can be cached in the scratch-pad space. +

+

Cache Type

 +

The cache type is determined from the object header. + It also determines the format for the scratch-pad space: + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
TypeDescription
0No data is cached by the group entry. This + is guaranteed to be the case when an object header + has a link count greater than one. +
1Group object header metadata is cached in the + scratch-pad space. This implies that the symbol table + entry refers to another group. +
2The entry is a symbolic link. The first four bytes + of the scratch-pad space are the offset into the local + heap for the link value. The object header address + will be undefined. +

+ +

Reserved

 +

These four bytes are present so that the scratch-pad + space is aligned on an eight-byte boundary. They are + always set to zero. +

+

Scratch-pad Space

 +

This space is used for different purposes, depending + on the value of the Cache Type field. Any metadata + about an object represented in the scratch-pad + space is duplicated in the object header for that + object. +

+

+ Furthermore, no data is cached in the group + entry scratch-pad space if the object header for + the object has a link count greater than one. +

+
+
+ +

Format of the Scratch-pad Space

+ +

The symbol table entry scratch-pad space is formatted + according to the value in the Cache Type field.

+ +

If the Cache Type field contains the value zero + (0) then no information is + stored in the scratch-pad space.

+ +

If the Cache Type field contains the value one + (1), then the scratch-pad space + contains cached metadata for another object header + in the following format:

+ +

A local heap is a collection of small pieces of data that are particular + to a single object in the HDF5 file.

The ASCII character string “HEAP” + is used to indicate the + beginning of a heap. This gives file consistency + checking utilities a better chance of reconstructing a + damaged file. +

+

 +

Each local heap has its own version number so that new + heaps can be added to old files. This document + describes version zero (0) of the local heap. +

+

Data Segment Size

 +

The total amount of disk memory allocated for the heap + data. This may be larger than the amount of space + required by the objects stored in the heap. The extra + unused space in the heap holds a linked list of free blocks. +

+

Offset to Head of Free-list

 +

This is the offset within the heap data segment of the + first free block (or the + undefined address if there is no + free block). The free block contains + Size of Lengths bytes that + are the offset of the next free block (or the + value ‘1’ if this is the + last free block) followed by Size of Lengths bytes that store + the size of this free block. The size of the free block includes + the space used to store the offset of the next free block and + the size of the current block, making the minimum size of a free + block 2 * Size of Lengths. +

+

Address of Data Segment

 +

The data segment originally starts immediately after + the heap header, but if the data segment must grow as a + result of adding more objects, then the data segment may + be relocated, in its entirety, to another part of the + file. +

+
+
+ +

Objects within a local heap should be aligned on an 8-byte boundary.

+ +

+ III.E. Disk Format: Level 1E - Global Heap

+ +

Each HDF5 file has a global heap which stores various types of + information which is typically shared between datasets. The + global heap was designed to satisfy these goals:

+ +
    +
  1. Repeated access to a heap object must be efficient without + resulting in repeated file I/O requests. Since global heap + objects will typically be shared among several datasets, it is + probable that the object will be accessed repeatedly.
    2. +
  2. Collections of related global heap objects should result in + fewer and larger I/O requests. For instance, a dataset of + object references will have a global heap object for each + reference. Reading the entire set of object references + should result in a few large I/O requests instead of one small + I/O request for each reference.
    3. +
  3. It should be possible to remove objects from the global heap + and the resulting file hole should be eligible to be reclaimed + for other uses.
    4. +
+ + +

The implementation of the heap makes use of the memory management + already available at the file level and combines that with a new + object called a collection to achieve goal B. The global heap + is the set of all collections. Each global heap object belongs to + exactly one collection, and each collection contains one or more global + heap objects. For the purposes of disk I/O and caching, a collection is + treated as an atomic object, addressing goal A. +

+ +

When a global heap object is deleted from a collection (which + occurs when its reference count falls to zero), objects located + after the deleted object in the collection are packed down toward + the beginning of the collection, and the collection’s + global heap object 0 is created (if possible), or its size is + increased to account for the recently freed space. There are + no gaps between objects in each collection, with the possible + exception of the final space in the collection, if it is not + large enough to hold the header for the collection’s + global heap object 0. These features address goal C. +

+ +

The HDF5 Library creates global heap collections as needed, so there may + be multiple collections throughout the file. The set of all of them is + abstractly called the “global heap”, although they do not actually link + to each other, and there is no global place in the file where you can + discover all of the collections. The collections are found simply by + finding a reference to one through another object in the file. For + example, data of variable-length datatype elements is stored in the + global heap and is accessed via a global heap ID. The format for + global heap IDs is described at the end of this section. +

+ +

For more information on global heaps for virtual datasets, see + “Disk Format: Level 1F - Global Heap + Block for Virtual Datasets.”

+ III.G. Disk Format: Level 1G - Fractal Heap

+ +

+ Each fractal heap consists of a header and zero or more direct and + indirect blocks (described below). The header contains general + information as well as + initialization parameters for the doubling table. The Address + of Root Block field in the header points to the first direct or + indirect block in the heap. +

+ +

+ Fractal heaps are based on a data structure called a doubling + table. A doubling table provides a mechanism for quickly + extending an array-like data structure that minimizes the number of + empty blocks in the heap, while retaining very fast lookup of any + element within the array. More information on fractal heaps and + doubling tables can be found in the RFC + “Private + Heaps in HDF5.” +

+ +

+ The fractal heap implements the doubling table structure with + indirect and direct blocks. + Indirect blocks in the heap do not actually contain data for + objects in the heap, their “size” is abstract - + they represent the indexing structure for locating the + direct blocks in the doubling table. + Direct blocks + contain the actual data for objects stored in the heap. +

+ +

+ All indirect blocks have a constant number of block entries in each + row, called the width of the doubling table + (see Table Width field in the header). + + The number + of rows for each indirect block in the heap is determined by the + size of the block that the indirect block represents in the + doubling table (calculation of this is shown below) and is + constant, except for the “root” + indirect block, which expands and shrinks its number of rows as + needed. +

+ +

+ Blocks in the first two rows of an indirect block + are Starting Block Size number of bytes in size. + For example, if the row width of the doubling table is 4, + then the first eight block entries in the + indirect block are Starting Block Size number of bytes in size. + The blocks in each subsequent row are twice the size of + the blocks in the previous row. In other words, blocks in + the third row are twice the Starting Block Size, + blocks in the fourth row are four times the + Starting Block Size, and so on. Entries for + blocks up to the Maximum Direct Block Size point to + direct blocks, and entries for blocks greater than that size + point to further indirect blocks (which have their own + entries for direct and indirect blocks). + Starting Block Size and + Maximum Direct Block Size are fields + stored in the header. +

+ +

+ The number of rows of blocks, nrows, in an + indirect block is calculated by the following expression: +

+ nrows = (log2(block_size) - + log2(<Starting Block Size>)) + 1 +

+where block_size is the size of the block that the indirect block +represents in the doubling table. +For example, to represent a block with block_size equals to 1024, +and Starting Block Size equals to 256, +three rows are needed. +

+ The maximum number of rows of direct blocks, max_dblock_rows, + in any indirect block of a fractal heap is given by the + following expression: +

+ max_dblock_rows = + (log2(<Maximum Direct Block Size>) - + log2(<Starting Block Size>)) + 2 +

+

+ Using the computed values for nrows and + max_dblock_rows, along with the width of the + doubling table, the number of direct and indirect block entries + (K and N in the indirect block description, below) + in an indirect block can be computed: +

+ K = MIN(nrows, max_dblock_rows) * + <Table Width> + +

+ If nrows is less than or equal to max_dblock_rows, + N is 0. Otherwise, N is simply computed: +

+ N = K - (max_dblock_rows * + <Table Width>) +

+ +

+ The size of indirect blocks on disk is determined by the number + of rows in the indirect block (computed above). The size of direct + blocks on disk is exactly the size of the block in the doubling + table. +

+

An object in the fractal heap is identified by means of a fractal heap ID, + which encodes information to locate the object in the heap. + Currently, the fractal heap stores an object in one of three ways, + depending on the object’s size:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
TypeDescription
Tiny +

When an object is small enough to be encoded in the + heap ID, the object’s data is embedded in the fractal + heap ID itself. There are two sub-types for this type of + object: normal and extended. The sub-type for tiny heap + IDs depends on whether the heap ID is large enough to + store objects greater than 16 bytes or not. If the + heap ID length is 18 bytes or smaller, the + ‘normal’ tiny heap ID form is used. If the + heap ID length is greater than 18 bytes in length, the + “extended” form is used. See the format + description below for both sub-types. +

+
Huge +

When the size of an object is larger than Maximum Size of + Managed Objects in the Fractal Heap Header, the + object’s data is stored on its own in the file and the object + is tracked/indexed via a version 2 B-tree. All huge objects + for a particular fractal heap use the same v2 B-tree. All huge + objects for a particular fractal heap use the same format for + their huge object IDs. +

+ +

Depending on whether the IDs for a heap are large enough to hold + the object’s retrieval information and whether I/O pipeline filters + are applied to the heap’s objects, 4 sub-types are derived for + huge object IDs for this heap:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Sub-typeDescription
Directly accessed, non-filtered +

The object’s address and length are embedded in the + fractal heap ID itself and the object is directly accessed + from them. This allows the object to be accessed without + resorting to the B-tree. +

+
Directly accessed, filtered +

The filtered object’s address, length, filter mask and + de-filtered size are embedded in the fractal heap ID itself + and the object is accessed directly with them. This allows + the object to be accessed without resorting to the B-tree. +

+
Indirectly accessed, non-filtered +

The object is located by using a B-tree key embedded in + the fractal heap ID to retrieve the address and length from + the version 2 B-tree for huge objects. Then, the address + and length are used to access the object. +

+
Indirectly accessed, filtered +

The object is located by using a B-tree key embedded in + the fractal heap ID to retrieve the filtered object’s + address, length, filter mask and de-filtered size from the + version 2 B-tree for huge objects. Then, this information + is used to access the object. +

+
+
+ +
Managed +

When the size of an object does not meet the above two + conditions, the object is stored and managed via the direct and + indirect blocks based on the doubling table. +

+
+
+ + +
+

The specific format for each type of heap ID is described below: +

+ III.H. Disk Format: Level 1H - Free-space Manager

+ +

+ Free-space managers are used to describe space within a heap or + the entire HDF5 file that is not currently used for that heap or + file. +

+ +

+ The free-space manager header contains metadata information + about the space being tracked, along with the address of the list + of free space sections which actually describes the free + space. The header records information about free-space sections being + tracked, creation parameters for handling free-space sections of a + client, and section information used to locate the collection of + free-space sections. +

+ +

+ The free-space section list stores a collection of + free-space sections that is specific to each client of the + free-space manager. + + For example, the fractal heap is a client of the free space manager + and uses it to track unused space within the heap. There are 4 + types of section records for the fractal heap, each of which has + its own format, listed below. +

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ III.I. Disk Format: Level 1I - Shared Object Header Message Table

+ +

+ The shared object header message table is used to locate + object + header messages that are shared between two or more object headers + in the file. Shared object header messages are stored and indexed + in the file in one of two ways: indexed sequentially in a + shared header message list or indexed with a v2 B-tree. + The shared messages themselves are either stored in a fractal + heap (when two or more objects share the message), or remain in an + object’s header (when only one object uses the message currently, + but the message can be shared in the future). +

+ +

+ The shared object header message table + contains a list of shared message index headers. Each index header + records information about the version of the index format, the index + storage type, flags for the message types indexed, the number of + messages in the index, the address where the index resides, + and the fractal heap address if shared messages are stored there. +

+ +

+ Each index can be either a list or a v2 B-tree and may transition + between those two forms as the number of messages in the index + varies. Each shared message record contains information used to + locate the shared message from either a fractal heap or an object + header. The types of messages that can be shared are: Dataspace, + Datatype, Fill Value, Filter Pipeline and Attribute. +

+ +

+ The shared object header message table is pointed to + from a shared message table message + in the superblock extension for a file. This message stores the + version of the table format, along with the number of index headers + in the table. +

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ IV. Disk Format: Level 2 - Data Objects

+ +

Data objects contain the “real” user-visible information in the file. + These objects compose the scientific data and other information which + are generally thought of as “data” by the end-user. All the + other information in the file is provided as a framework for + storing and accessing these data objects. +

+ +

A data object is composed of header and data + information. The header information contains the information + needed to interpret the data information for the object as + well as additional “metadata” or pointers to additional + “metadata” used to describe or annotate each object. +

+ +

+ IV.A. Disk Format: Level 2A - Data Object Headers

+ +

The header information of an object is designed to encompass + all of the information about an object, except for the data itself. + This information includes the dataspace, the datatype, information + about how the data is stored on disk (in external files, compressed, + broken up in blocks, and so on), as well as other information used + by the library to speed up access to the data objects or maintain + a file’s integrity. Information stored by user applications + as attributes is also stored in the object’s header. The header + of each object is not necessarily located immediately prior to the + object’s data in the file and in fact may be located in any + position in the file. The order of the messages in an object header + is not significant.

+ +

Object headers are composed of a prefix and a set of messages. The + prefix contains the information needed to interpret the messages and + a small amount of metadata about the object, and the messages contain + the majority of the metadata about the object. +

+ +

+ IV.A.1. Disk Format: Level 2A1 - Data Object Header Prefix

+ + + +

+ IV.A.1.a. Version 1 Data Object Header Prefix

+ +

Header messages are aligned on 8-byte boundaries for version 1 + object headers. +

Header Message #n Data

 +

The format and length of this field is determined by the + header message type and size respectively. Some header + message types do not require any data and this information + can be eliminated by setting the length of the message to + zero. The data is padded with enough zeroes to make the + size a multiple of eight. +

+

This field is present if bit 4 of flags is set. +

+

Minimum # of dense attributes

 +

This is the minimum number of attributes to store in the indexed + format before switching to the compact format. +

+

This field is present if bit 4 of flags is set. +

+

Size of Chunk #0

 +

+ This unsigned value specifies the number of bytes of header + message data following this field that contain object header + information. +

+ This value does not include the size of object header + continuation blocks for this object elsewhere in the file. +

+

+ The length of this field varies depending on bits 0 and 1 of + the flags field. +

+

Header Message #n Type

 +

Same format as version 1 of the object header, described above. +

+

Size of Header Message #n Data

 +

This value specifies the number of bytes of header + message data following the header message type and length + information for the current message. The size of messages + in this version does not include any padding bytes. +

+

Header Message #n Flags

 +

Same format as version 1 of the object header, described above. +

+

Header Message #n Creation Order

 +

This field stores the order that a message of a given type + was created in. +

+

This field is present if bit 2 of flags is set. +

+

Header Message #n Data

 +

Same format as version 1 of the object header, described above. +

+

Gap

 +

A gap in an object header chunk is inferred by the end of the + messages for the chunk before the beginning of the chunk’s + checksum. Gaps are always smaller than the size of an + object header message prefix (message type + message size + + message flags). +

+

Gaps are formed when a message (typically an attribute message) + in an earlier chunk is deleted and a message from a later + chunk that does not quite fit into the free space is moved + into the earlier chunk. +

+

Checksum

 +

This is the checksum for the object header chunk. +

+
+
+ +

The header message types and the message data associated with + them compose the critical “metadata” about each object. Some + header messages are required for each object while others are + optional. Some optional header messages may also be repeated + several times in the header itself, the requirements and number + of times allowed in the header will be noted in each header + message description below. +

+ + +

+ IV.A.2. Disk Format: Level 2A2 - Data Object Header Messages

+ +

Data object header messages are small pieces of metadata that are + stored in the data object header for each object in an HDF5 file. + Data object header messages provide the metadata required to describe + an object and its contents, as well as optional pieces of metadata + that annotate the meaning or purpose of the object. +

+ +

Data object header messages are either stored directly in the data + object header for the object or are shared between multiple objects + in the file. When a message is shared, a flag in the Message Flags + indicates that the actual Message Data + portion of that message is stored in another location (such as another + data object header, or a heap in the file) and the Message Data + field contains the information needed to locate the actual information + for the message. +

+ +

+ The format of shared message data is described here:

IV.A.2.d. The Datatype Message

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
Header Message Name: Datatype
Header Message Type: 0x0003 +
Length: Variable
Status: Required for dataset or committed + datatype (formerly named datatype) objects; may not be repeated. +
Description:

The datatype message defines the datatype for each element + of a dataset or a common datatype for sharing between multiple + datasets. A datatype can describe an atomic type like a fixed- + or floating-point type or more complex types like a C struct + (compound datatype), array (array datatype), or C++ vector + (variable-length datatype).

+

Datatype messages that are part of a dataset object do not + describe how elements are related to one another; the dataspace + message is used for that purpose. Datatype messages that are part of + a committed datatype (formerly named datatype) message describe + a common datatype that can be shared by multiple datasets in the + file.

This is the length of the link’s name. The size of this field + depends on bits 0 and 1 of Flags.

+

Link name

This is the name of the link, non-NULL terminated.

+

Link information

The format of this field depends on the link type.

+

For hard links, the field is formatted as follows: + + + + + + +
+ Size of Offsets bytes:The address of the object header for the object that the + link points to. +
+

+ +

+ For soft links, the field is formatted as follows: + + + + + + + + + + +
Bytes 1-2:Length of soft link value.
Length of soft link value bytes:A non-NULL-terminated string storing the value of the + soft link. +
+

+ +

+ For external links, the field is formatted as follows: + + + + + + + + + + +
Bytes 1-2:Length of external link value.
Length of external link value bytes:The first byte contains the version number in the + upper 4 bits and flags in the lower 4 bits for the external + link. Both version and flags are defined to be zero in + this document. The remaining bytes consist of two + NULL-terminated strings, with no padding between them. + The first string is the name of the HDF5 file containing + the object linked to and the second string is the full path + to the object linked to, within the HDF5 file’s + group hierarchy. +
+

+ +

+ For user-defined links, the field is formatted as follows: + + + + + + + + + + +
Bytes 1-2:Length of user-defined data.
Length of user-defined link value bytes:The data supplied for the user-defined link type.

Field NameDescription

Name Offset in Local Heap

 +

The byte offset within the local name heap for the name + of the file. File names are stored as a URL which has a + protocol name, a host name, a port number, and a file + name: + protocol:port//host/file. + If the protocol is omitted then “file:” is assumed. If + the port number is omitted then a default port for that + protocol is used. If both the protocol and the port + number are omitted then the colon can also be omitted. If + the double slash and host name are omitted then + “localhost” is assumed. The file name is the only + mandatory part, and if the leading slash is missing then + it is relative to the application’s current working + directory (the use of relative names is not + recommended). +

+

Offset in External Data File

 +

This is the byte offset to the start of the data in the + specified file. For files that contain data for a single + dataset this will usually be zero.

+

Data Size in External File

 +

This is the total number of bytes reserved in the + specified file for raw data storage. For a file that + contains exactly one complete dataset which is not + extendable, the size will usually be the exact size of the + dataset. However, by making the size larger one allows + HDF5 to extend the dataset. The size can be set to a value + larger than the entire file since HDF5 will read zeroes + past the end of the file without failing.

IV.A.2.i. The Data Layout Message

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
Header Message Name: Data Layout
Header Message Type: 0x0008
Length: Varies
Status: Required for datasets; may not + be repeated.
Description:The Data Layout message + describes how the elements of a multi-dimensional array are stored + in the HDF5 file. Four types of data layout are supported: +
    +
  1. Contiguous: The array is stored in one contiguous area of + the file. This layout requires that the size of the array be + constant: data manipulations such as chunking, compression, + checksums, or encryption are not permitted. The message stores + the total storage size of the array. The offset of an element + from the beginning of the storage area is computed as in a C + array.
    2. +
  2. Chunked: The array domain is regularly decomposed into + chunks, and each chunk is allocated and stored separately. This + layout supports arbitrary element traversals, compression, + encryption, and checksums (these features are described + in other messages). The message stores the size of a chunk + instead of the size of the entire array; the storage size of + the entire array can be calculated by traversing the chunk index + that stores the chunk addresses.
    3. +
  3. Compact: The array is stored in one contiguous block as + part of this object header message.
    4. +
  4. Virtual: This is only supported for version 4 of the Data + Layout message. The message stores information that is used to + locate the global heap collection containing the Virtual Dataset + (VDS) mapping information. The mapping associates the VDS to + the source dataset elements that are stored across a collection + of HDF5 files.
    5. +
Format of Data: See the tables + below.

2Used by version 1.6.[0,1,2] of the library to encode layout information. + Data space is allocated only when it is necessary.

+

Dimensionality

An array has a fixed dimensionality. This field + specifies the number of dimension size fields later in the + message. The value stored for chunked storage is 1 greater than + the number of dimensions in the dataset’s dataspace. + For example, 2 is stored for a 1 dimensional dataset. +

Data Address

For contiguous storage, this is the address of the raw + data in the file. For chunked storage this is the address + of the v1 B-tree that is used to look up the addresses of the + chunks. This field is not present for compact storage. + If the version for this message is greater than 1, the address + may have the “undefined address” value, to indicate that + storage has not yet been allocated for this array.

+

Dimension #n Size

For contiguous and compact storage the dimensions define + the entire size of the array while for chunked storage they define + the size of a single chunk. In all cases, they are in units of + array elements (not bytes). The first dimension stored in the list + of dimensions is the slowest changing dimension and the last + dimension stored is the fastest changing dimension. +

+

Dataset Element Size

The size of a dataset element, in bytes. This field is only + present for chunked storage. +

IV.A.2.m. The Attribute Message

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +
Header Message Name: Attribute
Header Message Type: 0x000C
Length: Varies
Status: Optional; may be + repeated.
Description:

The Attribute message is used to store objects + in the HDF5 file which are used as attributes, or + “metadata” about the current object. An attribute + is a small dataset; it has a name, a datatype, a dataspace, and + raw data. Since attributes are stored in the object header, they + should be relatively small (in other words, less than 64KB). + They can be associated with any type of object which has an + object header (groups, datasets, or committed (named) + datatypes).

+

In 1.8.x versions of the library, attributes can be larger + than 64KB. See the + + “Special Issues” section of the Attributes chapter + in the HDF5 User’s Guide for more information.

+

Note: Attributes on an object must have unique names: + the HDF5 Library currently enforces this by causing the + creation of an attribute with a duplicate name to fail. + Attributes on different objects may have the same name, + however.

Format of Data: See the tables + below.

IV.A.2.x. The File Space Info + Message

+ +
+ + + + + + + +

+

+
Header Message Name: File Space + Info
Header Message Type: 0x0017
Length: Fixed
Status: Optional; may not be + repeated.
+ Description:This message stores the file space management information + that the library uses in handling file space + requests for the file. Version 0 of the message is used for release 1.10.0 only. + Version 1 of the message is used for release 1.10.1+. + There is no File Space Info message before release 1.10 as the library does + not track file space across multiple file opens. +

+ Note that version 0 is deprecated starting release 1.10.1. + That means when the 1.10.1+ library opens an HDF5 file with a version 0 message, + the library will decode and map the message to version 1. + On file close, it will encode the message as a version 1 message. +

+ The library uses the following three mechanisms to manage file space in an HDF5 file: +

    +
  • Free-space managers +
    They track free-space sections of various sizes in the file that are not currently + allocated. Each free-space manager corresponds to a file space type. + There are two main groups of file space types: metadata and raw data. + Metadata is further divided into five types: superblock, B-tree, global heap, + local heap, and object header. + See the description of Free-space + Manager as well the description of file space allocation types in + Appendix B +
    • +
  • Aggregators +
    The library manages two aggregators, one for metadata and one for raw data. + Aggregator is a contiguous block of free-space in the file. + The size of each aggregator is tunable via public routines + H5Pset_meta_block_size and H5Pset_small_data_block_size respectively. +
    • +
  • Virtual file drivers +
    The library's virtual file driver interface dispatches requests for additional + space to the allocation routine of the file driver associated with the file. + For example, if the sec2 file driver is being used, its allocation routine will + increase the size of the file to service the requests. +
    • +
+

+ For release 1.10.0, the library derives the following four file space strategies + based on the mechanisms: +

    +
  • H5F_FILE_SPACE_ALL +
      +
    • Mechanisms used: free-space managers, aggregators, and virtual file drivers
      • +
    • Does not persist free-space across file opens
      • +
    • This strategy is the library default
      • +
    +
    • +
  • H5F_FILE_SPACE_ALL_PERSIST
    • +
      +
    • Mechanisms used: free-space managers, aggregators, and virtual file drivers
      • +
    • Persist free-space across file opens
      • +
    +
  • H5F_FILE_SPACE_AGGR_VFD
    • +
      +
    • Mechanisms used: aggregators and virtual file drivers
      • +
    • Does not persist free-space across file opens
      • +
    +
  • H5F_FILE_SPACE_VFD
    • +
      +
    • Mechanisms used: virtual file drivers
      • +
    • Does not persist free-space across file opens
      • +
    +
+ For release 1.10.1+, the free-space manager mechanism is modified to handle paged aggregation + which aggregates small metadata and raw data allocations into constant-sized well-aligned pages + to allow efficient I/O accesses. + With the support of this feature, the library derives the following four file space strategies: +
    +
  • H5F_FSPACE_STRATEGY_FSM_AGGR
    • +
      +
    • Mechanisms used: free-space managers, aggregators, and virtual file drivers
      • +
    • This strategy is the library default
      • +
    +
  • H5F_FSPACE_STRATEGY_PAGE
    • +
      +
    • Mechanisms used: free-space managers with embedded paged aggregation and virtual file drivers
      • +
    +
  • H5F_FSPACE_STRATEGY_AGGR
    • +
      +
    • Mechanisms used: aggregators and virtual file drivers
      • +
    +
  • H5F_FSPACE_STRATEGY_NONE
    • +
      +
    • Mechanisms used: virtual file drivers
      • +
    +
+ The default is not persisting free-space across file opens for the above four strategies. + User can use the public routine H5Pset_file_space_strategy to request + persisting free-space. +

+ IV.B. Disk Format: Level 2B - Data Object Data Storage

+ +

The data for an object is stored separately from its header + information in the file and may not actually be located in the HDF5 file + itself if the header indicates that the data is stored externally. The + information for each record in the object is stored according to the + dimensionality of the object (indicated in the dataspace header message). + Multi-dimensional array data is stored in C order; in other words, the + “last” dimension changes fastest.

+ +

Data whose elements are composed of atomic datatypes are stored in IEEE + format, unless they are specifically defined as being stored in a different + machine format with the architecture-type information from the datatype + header message. This means that each architecture will need to [potentially] + byte-swap data values into the internal representation for that particular + machine.

+ +

Data with a variable-length datatype is stored in the global heap + of the HDF5 file. Global heap identifiers are stored in the + data object storage.

+ +

Data whose elements are composed of reference datatypes are stored in + several different ways depending on the particular reference type involved. + Object pointers are just stored as the offset of the object header being + pointed to with the size of the pointer being the same number of bytes as + offsets in the file.

+ +

Dataset region references are stored as a heap-ID which points to + the following information within the file-heap: an offset of the object + pointed to, number-type information (same format as header message), + dimensionality information (same format as header message), sub-set start + and end information (in other words, a coordinate location for each), + and field start and end names (in other words, a [pointer to the] string + indicating the first field included and a [pointer to the] string name + for the last field).

+ +

Data of a compound datatype is stored as a contiguous stream of the items + in the structure, with each item formatted according to its datatype. +

+ Description of datatypes for variable-length, references and compound classes can be found + in Datatype Message. +

+ Information about global heap and heap ID can be found in Global Heap. +

+ For reference datatype, + see also the encoding description for Reference Encoding (Revised) and + Reference Encoding (Backward Compatibility) in Appendix D. +

+ +

+ V. Appendix A: Definitions

+ +

Definitions of various terms used in this document are included in + this section.

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Unlimited SizeThe unlimited size + for a size is a value with all bits set: in other words, + 0xffff...ff.
+
+ + +

+ VI. Appendix B: File Space Allocation Types

+ +

There are six basic types of file space allocation as follows: +

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Basic Allocation TypeDescription
H5FD_MEM_SUPERFile space allocated for Superblock.

VII. Appendix C: + Types of Indexes for Dataset Chunks

+ +

For an HDF5 file without the latest format enabled, the library + uses the Version 1 B-tree to index dataset + chunks.

+ +

For an HDF5 file with the latest format enabled, the library uses + one of the following five indexing types depending on a chunked + dataset’s dimension specification and the way it is extended. +

+ + +

VII.A. The Single Chunk Index

 + +

The Single Chunk index can be used when the dataset fulfills + the following condition:

+ +
    +
  • the current, maximum, and chunk dimension sizes are all the same
    • +
+ +

The dataset has only one chunk, and the address of the single + chunk is stored in the version 4 Data Layout message. + See the Chunked Storage Property + Description layout and field description tables.

+ + +

VII.B. The Implicit Index

 + +

The Implicit index can be used when the dataset fulfills + the following conditions:

+ +
    +
  • fixed maximum dimension sizes
    • +
  • no filter applied to the dataset
    • +
  • the timing for the space allocation of the dataset chunks is + H5P_ALLOC_TIME_EARLY
    • +
+ +

Since the dataset’s dimension sizes are known and storage space + is to be allocated early, an array of dataset chunks are allocated + based on the maximum dimension sizes when the dataset is created. + The base address of the array is stored in the version 4 + Data Layout message. See the + Chunked Storage Property + Description layout and field description tables. +

+ +

When accessing a dataset chunk with a specified offset, the + address of the chunk in the array is computed as below:

+ +

base address + (size of a chunk in bytes * chunk index + associated with the offset)

 + +

A chunk index starts at 0 and increases according to the + fastest changing dimension, then the next fastest, and so on. + + The chunk index for a dataset chunk offset is computed as below: +

    +
  1. Calculate the scaled offset for each dimension in + scaled_offset: +
    + 
    +        scaled_offset = chunk_offset/chunk_dims
+
    2. +
  2. Calculate the # of chunks for each dimension in + nchunks: +
    + 
    +        nchunks = (curr_dims + chunk_dims - 1)/chunk_dims
+
    3. + +
  3. Calculate the down chunks for each dimension in + down_chunks: +
    + 
    +        /* n is the # of dimensions */
+        for(i = (int)(n-1), acc = 1; i >= 0; i--) {
+        down_chunks[i] = acc;
+        acc *= nchunks[i];
+        }
+
    +
    4. + +
  4. Calculate the chunk index in chunk_index: +
    + 
    +        /* n is the # of dimensions */
+        for(u = 0, chunk_index = 0; u < n; u++)
+                                        chunk_index += down_chunks[u] * scaled_offset[u];
+
    +
    5. +
+

+ For example, for a 2-dimensional dataset with + curr_dims[4,5] and chunk_dims[3,2], + there will be a total of 6 chunks, with 3 chunks in the fastest + changing dimension and 2 chunks in the slowest changing dimension. + See the figure below. + The chunk index for the chunk offset [3,4] + is computed as below: +

    + +
  1. scaled_offset[0] = 1, scaled_offset[1] = 2
    2. +
  2. nchunks[0] = 2, nchunks[1] = 3
    3. +
  3. down_chunks[0] = 3, down_chunks[1] = 1
    4. +
  4. chunk_index = 5
    5. +     +
+ + + + + + + + + +

VII.C. The Fixed Array Index

 + +

The Fixed Array index can be used when the dataset fulfills + the following condition:

+
    +
  • fixed maximum dimension sizes
    • +
+ +

Since the maximum number of chunks is known, an array of + in-file-on-disk addresses based on the maximum number of chunks is + allocated when data is written to the dataset. To access a dataset + chunk with a specified offset, the + chunk index associated with the offset +is calculated. The index is mapped into the array to locate the +disk address for the chunk.

+ +

The Fixed Array (FA) index structure provides space and speed + improvements in locating chunks over index structures that handle + more dynamic data accesses like a + Version 2 B-tree index. + The entry into the Fixed Array is the Fixed Array header which + contains metadata about the entries stored in the array. The + header contains a pointer to a data block which stores the array + of entries that describe the dataset chunks. For greater efficiency, + the array will be divided into multiple pages if the number of + entries exceeds a threshold value. The space for the data block + and possibly data block pages are allocated as a single contiguous + block of space.

+ +

The content of the data block depends on whether paging is + activated or not. When paging is not used, elements that describe + the chunks are stored in the data block. If paging is turned on, + the data block contains a bitmap indicating which pages are + initialized. Then subsequent data block pages will contain the + entries that describe the chunks.

+ +

An entry describes either a filtered or non-filtered dataset + chunk. The formats for both element types are described below. +

VII.D. The Extensible Array Index

 + +

The Extensible Array index can be used when the dataset + fulfills the following condition:

+ +
    +
  • only one dimension of unlimited extent
    • +
+ +

The Extensible Array (EA) is a data structure that is used as a + chunk index in datasets where the dataspace has a single + unlimited dimension. In other words, one dimension is set to + H5S_UNLIMITED, and the other dimensions are any number + of fixed-size dimensions. The idea behind the extensible array is + that a particular data object can be located via a lightweight + indexing structure of fixed depth for a given address space. This + indexing structure requires only a few (2-3) file operations per + element lookup and gives good cache performance. Unlike the B-tree + structure, the extensible array is optimized for appends. Where a + B-tree would always add at the rightmost node under these + circumstances, either creating a deep tree (version 1) or requiring + expensive rebalances to correct (version 2), the extensible array + has already mapped out a pre-balanced internal structure. This + optimized internal structure is instantiated as needed when chunk + records are inserted into the structure.

+ + + + + + + +

An Extensible Array consists of a header, an index block, + secondary blocks, data blocks, and (optional) data block pages. The + general scheme is that the index block is used to reference a + secondary block, which is, in turn, used to reference the data block + page where the chunk information is stored. The data blocks will + be paged for efficiency when their size passes a threshold value. + These pages are laid out contiguously on the disk after the data + block, are initialized as needed, and are tracked via bitmaps + stored in the secondary block. The number of secondary and data + blocks/pages in a chunk index varies as they are allocated as + needed and the first few are (conceptually) stored in parent + elements as an optimization.

+ +

VIII.B. Reference Encoding (Revised)

 +

+
+ For the following reference type, + the Reference Header and Reference Block are stored together as the dataset's raw data: +

    +
  • Object Reference (H5R_OBJECT2) (without reference to an external file)
    • +
+

+ For the following reference types, + the Reference Header plus the Global Heap ID are stored + as the dataset's raw data in the file. + The global heap ID is used to locate the Reference Block stored in the global heap: +

    +
  • Object Reference (H5R_OBJECT2) (with reference to an external file)
    • +
  • Dataset Region Reference (H5R_DATASET_REGION2) (with/without reference to an external file)
    • +
  • Attribute Reference (H5R_ATTR) (with/without reference to an external file)

+1. HDF5 Image Specification

+ +

+1.1 Overview

+Image data is stored as an HDF5 dataset with values of HDF5 class Integer +or Float.  A common example would be a two dimensional dataset, with +elements of class Integer, e.g., a two dimensional array of unsigned 8 +bit integers.  However, this specification does not limit the dimensions +or number type that may be used for an Image. +

The dataset for an image is distinguished from other datasets by giving +it an attribute "CLASS=IMAGE".  In addition, the Image dataset may +have an optional attribute "PALETTE" that is an array of object references +for zero or more palettes. The Image dataset may have additional attributes +to describe the image data, as defined in Section 1.2. +

A Palette is an HDF5 dataset which contains color map information.  +A Pallet dataset has an attribute "CLASS=PALETTE" and other attributes +indicating the type and size of the palette, as defined in Section +2.1.  A Palette is an independent object, which can be shared +among several Image datasets. +

+1.2  Image Attributes

+The attributes for the Image are scalars unless otherwise noted.  +The length of String valued attributes should be at least the number of +characters. Optionally, String valued attributes may be stored in a String +longer than the minimum, in which case it must be zero terminated or null +padded.  "Required" attributes must always be used. "Optional" attributes +must be used when required. +
  +

+Attributes

+ +
+
+Attribute name="CLASS" (Required)
+ +
+This attribute is type H5T_C_S1, with size 5.
+ +
+For all Images, the value of this attribute is "IMAGE".
+ +
+
+ +
+This attribute identifies this data set as intended to be interpreted as +an image that conforms to the specifications on this page.
+
+ +
+Attribute name="PALETTE"
+ +
+
+A Image dataset within an HDF5 file may optionally specify an array of +palettes to be viewed with. The dataset will have an attribute field called +"PALETTE" which contains a one-dimensional array of object reference +pointers (HDF5 datatype H5T_STD_REF_OBJ) which refer to palettes in the +file. The palette datasets must conform to the Palette specification in +section +2 below. The first palette in this array will be the default palette +that the data may be viewed with.
+
+ +
+
+
+ +
+Attribute name="IMAGE_SUBCLASS"
+ +
+If present, the value of this attribute indicates the type of Palette that +should be used with the Image.  This attribute is a scalar of type +H5T_C_S1, with size according to the string plus one.  The values +are:

+1.3 Storage Layout and Properties for Images

+In the case of an image with more than one component per pixel (e.g., Red, +Green, and Blue), the data may be arranged in one of two ways.  Following +HDF4 terminology, the data may be interlaced by pixel or by plane, which +should be indicated by the INTERLACE_MODE  attribute.  In both +cases, the dataset will have a dataspace with three dimensions, height, +width, and components.  The interlace modes specify different orders +for the dimensions. +
  + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Table 3. Storage of multiple component image data.
Interlace ModeDimensions in the Dataspace
INTERLACE_PIXEL[height][width][pixel components]
INTERLACE_PLANE[pixel components][height][width]
+ +

For example, consider a 5 (rows) by 10 (column) image, with Red, Green, +and Blue components.  Each component is an unsigned byte. In HDF5, +the datatype would be declared as an unsigned 8 bit integer.  For +pixel interlace, the dataspace would be a three dimensional array, with +dimensions: [10][5][3].  For plane interleave, the dataspace would +be three dimensions: [3][10][5]. +

In the case of images with only one component, the dataspace may be +either a two dimensional array, or a three dimensional array with the third +dimension of size 1.  For example, a 5 by 10 image with 8 bit color +indexes would be an HDF5 dataset with type unsigned 8 bit integer.  +The dataspace could be either a two dimensional array, with dimensions +[10][5], or three dimensions, with dimensions either [10][5][1] or [1][10][5]. +

Image datasets may be stored with any chunking or compression properties +supported by HDF5. +

A note concerning compatibility with HDF5 GR interface: An Image +dataset is stored as an HDF5 dataset.  It is important to note that +the order of the dimensions is the same as for any other HDF5 dataset.  +For a two dimensional image that is to be stored as a series of horizontal +scan lines, with the scan lines contiguous (i.e., the fastest changing +dimension is 'width'), the image will have a dataspace with dim[0] = +height and dim[1] = width.  This is completely consistent +with all other HDF5 datasets. +

Users familiar with HDF4 should be cautioned that this is not the +same as HDF4, and specifically is not consistent with what the HDF4 +GR interface does. +
  +

+2.  HDF5 Palette Specification

+ +

+2.1 Overview

+A palette is the means by which color is applied to an image and is also +referred to as a color lookup table. It is a table in which every row contains +the numerical representation of a particular color. In the example of an +8 bit standard RGB color model palette, this numerical representation of +a color is presented as a triplet specifying the intensity of red, green, +and blue components that make up each color. +
+

+ +

In this example, the color component numeric type is an 8 bit unsigned +integer. While this is most common and recommended for general use, other +component color numeric datatypes, such as a 16 bit unsigned integer , +may be used. This type is specified as the type attribute of the palette +dataset. (see H5Tget_type(), H5Tset_type()) +

The minimum and maximum values of the component color numeric are specified +as attribute of the palette dataset. See below (attribute PAL_MINMAXNUMERIC). +If these attributes do not exist, it is assumed that the range of values +will fill the space of the color numeric type. i.e. with an 8 bit unsigned +integer, the valid range would be 0 to 255 for each color component. +

The HDF5 palette specification additionally allows for color models +beyond RGB. YUV, HSV, CMY, CMYK, YCbCr color models are supported, and +may be specified as a color model attribute of the palette dataset. (see +"Palette Attributes" for details). +

In HDF 4 and earlier, palettes were limited to 256 colors. The HDF5 +palette specification allows for palettes of varying length. The length +is specified as the number of rows of the palette dataset. +
  +
  + + + + +
Important Note: The specification of the Indexed +Palette will change substantially in the next version.  The Palette +described here is denigrated and is not supported.
+ +
  + + + + +
Denigrated +

In a standard palette, the color entries are indexed directly. HDF5 +supports the notion of a range index table. Such a table defines an ascending +ordered list of ranges that map dataset values to the palette. If a range +index table exists for the palette, the PAL_TYPE attribute will be set +to "RANGEINDEX", and the PAL_RANGEINDEX attribute will contain an object +reference to a range index table array. If not, the PAL_TYPE attribute +either does not exist, or will be set to "STANDARD". +

The range index table array consists of a one dimensional array with +the same length as the palette dataset - 1. Ideally, the range index would +be of the same type as the dataset it refers to, however this is not a +requirement. +

Example 2: A range index array of type floating point +

+

+ +

The range index array attribute defines the "to" of the range. +Notice that the range index array attribute is one less entry in size than +the palette. The first entry of 0.1259, specifies that all values below +and up to 0.1259 inclusive, will map to the first palette entry. The second +entry signifies that all values greater than 0.1259 up to 0.3278 inclusive, +will map to the second palette entry, etc. All value greater than the last +range index array attribute (100000) map to the last entry in the palette.

+ +

+2.2. Palette Attributes

+A palette exists in an HDF file as an independent data set with accompanying +attributes.  The Palette attributes are scalars except where noted +otherwise.  String values should have size the length of the string +value plus one.  "Required" attributes must be used.  "Optional" +attributes must be used when required. +

These attributes are defined as follows: +

+
+Attribute name="CLASS" (Required)
+ +
+This attribute is of type H5T_C_S1, with size 7.
+ +
+For all palettes, the value of this attribute is "PALETTE". This attribute +identifies this palette data set as a palette that conforms to the specifications +on this page.
+ +
+Attribute name="PAL_COLORMODEL" (Required)
+ +
+This attribute is of type H5T_C_S1, with size 3, 4, or 5.
+ +
+Possible values for this are "RGB", "YUV", "CMY", "CMYK", "YCbCr", "HSV".
+ +
+This defines the color model that the entries in the palette data set represent.
+ +
+
+"RGB"
+ +
+Each color index contains a triplet where the the first value defines the +red component, second defines the green component, and the third the blue +component.
+ +
+"CMY"
+ +
+Each color index contains a triplet where the the first value defines the +cyan component, second defines the magenta component, and the third the +yellow component.
+ +
+"CMYK"
+ +
+Each color index contains a quadruplet where the the first value defines +the cyan component, second defines the magenta component, the third the +yellow component, and the forth the black component.
+ +
+"YCbCr"
+ +
+Class Y encoding model. Each color index contains a triplet where the the +first value defines the luminance, second defines the Cb Chromonance, and +the third the Cr Chromonance.
+ +
+"YUV"
+ +
+Composite encoding color model. Each color index contains a triplet where +the the first value defines the luminance component, second defines the +chromonance component, and the third the value component.
+ +
+"HSV"
+ +
+Each color index contains a triplet where the the first value defines the +hue component, second defines the saturation component, and the third the +value component. The hue component defines the hue spectrum with a low +value representing magenta/red progressing to a high value which would +represent blue/magenta, passing through yellow, green, cyan. A low value +for the saturation component means less color saturation than a high value. +A low value for value will be darker than a high value.
+ +
+
+
+ +
+Attribute name="PAL_TYPE" (Required)
+ +
+This attribute is of type H5T_C_S1, with size 9 or 10.
+ +
+The current supported values for this attribute are : "STANDARD8" or "RANGEINDEX"
+ +
+A PAL_TYPE of "STANDARD8" defines a palette dataset such that the first +entry defines index 0, the second entry defines index 1, etc. up until +the length of the palette - 1. This assumes an image dataset with direct +indexes into the palette.
+

If the PAL_TYPE is set to "RANGEINDEX", there will be an additional +attribute with a name of "PAL_RANGEINDEX",  (See example 2 +for more details)

+ + + + + +
+
+Attribute name="PAL_RANGEINDEX"   (Denigrated)
+ +
+
+The PAL_RANGEINDEX attribute contains an HDF object reference (HDF5 +datatype H5T_STD_REF_OBJ) pointer which specifies a range index array in +the file to be used for color lookups for the palette.  (Only for +PAL_TYPE="RANGEINDEX")
+
+
+ +
+Attribute name="PAL_MINMAXNUMERIC"
+ +
+
+If present, this attribute is an array of two numbers, of the same HDF5 +datatype as the palette elements or color numerics.
+ +
They specify the minimum and maximum values of the color numeric components. +For example, if the palette was an RGB of type Float, the color numeric +range for Red, Green, and Blue could be set to be between 0.0 and 1.0. +The intensity of the color guns would then be scaled accordingly to be +between this minimum and maximum attribute.
+Attribute name="PAL_VERSION"  (Required) +
This attribute is of type H5T_C_S1, with size corresponding to the +length of the version string.  This attribute identifies the version +number of this specification to which it conforms.  The current version +is "1.2".

+2.3. Storage Layout for Palettes

+The values of the Palette are stored as a dataset.  The datatype can +be any HDF 5 atomic numeric type.  The dataset will have dimensions +(nentries  by  ncomponents), where 'nentries' +is the number of colors (usually 256) and 'ncomponents' is the +number of values per color (3 for RGB, 4 for CMYK, etc.) +
  +

+3.  Consistency and Correlation of Image and Palette +Attributes

+The objects in this specification are an extension to the base HDF5 specification +and library.  They are accessible with the standard HDF5 library, +but the semantics of the objects are not enforced by the base library.  +For example, it is perfectly possible to add an attribute called IMAGE +to any dataset, or to include an object reference to any +HDF5 dataset in a PALETTE attribute.  This would be a valid +HDF5 file, but not conformant to this specification.  The rules defined +in this specification must be implemented with appropriate software, and +applications must use conforming software to assure correctness. +

The Image and Palette specifications include several redundant standard +attributes, such as the IMAGE_COLORMODEL and the PAL_COLORMODEL.  +These attributes are informative not normative, in that it is acceptable +to attach a Palette to an Image dataset even if their attributes do not +match.  Software is not required to enforce consistency, and files +may contain mismatched associations of Images and Palettes.  In all +cases, it is up to applications to determine what kinds of images and color +models can be supported. +

For example, an Image that was created from a file with an "RGB" may +have a "YUV" Palette in its PALETTE attribute array.  This +would be a legal HDF5 file and also conforms to this specification, although +it may or may not be correct for a given application.

+1. Overview

+A generic table is a sequence of records, each record has a name and a type. +Table data is stored as an HDF5 one dimensional compound dataset.  A table +is defined as a collection of records whose values are stored in fixed-length +fields. All records have the same structure and all values in each field have +the same data type. +

The dataset for a table is distinguished from other datasets by giving +it an attribute "CLASS=TABLE".   +Optional attributes allow the storage of a title for the Table and for +each column, and a fill value for each column. +

+2.  Table Attributes

+The attributes for the Table are strings. They are written with the H5LTset_attribute_string +Lite API function.  "Required" attributes must always be used. "Optional" attributes +must be used when required. +
  +

+Attributes

+ +
+
+Attribute name="CLASS" (Required)
+ +
+This attribute is type H5T_C_S1, with size 5.
+ +
+For all Tables, the value of this attribute is "TABLE".
+ +
+This attribute identifies this data set as intended to be interpreted as Table that conforms to the specifications on this page.
+
+ +
+Attribute name="VERSION" (Required) + +
+This attribute is of type H5T_C_S1, with size corresponding to the length +of the version string.  This attribute identifies the version number +of this specification to which it conforms.  The current version number +is "0.2".
+ +
+ +
+
+Attribute name="TITLE" (Optional)
+ +
+The TITLE is an optional String that is to be used as the +informative title of the whole table. +The TITLE is set with the parameter table_title of the function + H5TBmake_table. 
+
+ +
+
+Attribute name="FIELD_(n)_NAME" (Required)
+ +
+The FIELD_(n)_NAME is an optional String that is to be used as the +informative title of column n of the table. +For each of the fields the word FIELD_ is concatenated with + the zero based field (n) index together with the name of the field.

1. Library header files and conditional compilation

+ +

+The following code is placed at the beginning of H5private.h: +

+ +
+ 
+  #ifdef H5_HAVE_THREADSAFE
+  #include <pthread.h>
+  #endif
+
+
+ +

+H5_HAVE_THREADSAFE is defined when the HDF-5 library is +compiled with the --enable-threadsafe configuration option. In general, +code for the non-threadsafe version of HDF-5 library are placed within +the #else part of the conditional compilation. The exception +to this rule are the changes to the FUNC_ENTER (in +H5private.h), HRETURN and HRETURN_ERROR (in +H5Eprivate.h) macros (see section 3.2). +

+ + +

2. Global variables/structures

+ +

2.1 Global library initialization variable

+ +

+In the threadsafe implementation, the global library initialization +variable H5_libinit_g is changed to a global structure +consisting of the variable with its associated lock (locks are explained +in section 4.1): +

+ +
+ 
+    hbool_t  H5_libinit_g = FALSE;
+
+
+ +

+becomes +

+ +
+ 
+    H5_api_t H5_g;
+
+
+ +

+where H5_api_t is +

+ +
+ 
+    typedef struct H5_api_struct {
+      H5_mutex_t init_lock;           /* API entrance mutex */
+      hbool_t H5_libinit_g;
+    } H5_api_t;
+
+
+ +

+All former references to H5_libinit_g in the library are now +made using the macro H5_INIT_GLOBAL. If the threadsafe +library is to be used, the macro is set to H5_g.H5_libinit_g +instead. +

+ +

2.2 Global serialization variable

+ +

+A new global boolean variable H5_allow_concurrent_g is used +to determine if multiple threads are allowed to an API call +simultaneously. This is set to FALSE. +

+ +

+All APIs that are allowed to do so have their own local variable that +shadows the global variable and is set to TRUE. In phase 1, +no such APIs exist. +

+ +

+It is defined in H5.c as follows: +

+ +
+ 
+    hbool_t H5_allow_concurrent_g = FALSE;
+
+
+ +

2.3 Global thread initialization variable

+ +

+The global variable H5_first_init_g of type +pthread_once_t is used to allow only the first thread in the +application process to call an initialization function using +pthread_once. All subsequent calls to +pthread_once by any thread are disregarded. +

+ +

+The call sets up the mutex in the global structure H5_g (see +section 3.1) via an initialization function +H5_first_thread_init. The first thread initialization +function is described in section 4.2. +

+ +

+H5_first_init_g is defined in H5.c as follows: +

+ +
+ 
+    pthread_once_t H5_first_init_g = PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT;
+
+
+ +

2.4 Global key for per-thread error stacks

+ +

+A global pthread-managed key H5_errstk_key_g is used to +allow pthreads to maintain a separate error stack (of type +H5E_t) for each thread. This is defined in H5.c +as: +

+ +
+ 
+    pthread_key_t H5_errstk_key_g;
+
+
+ +

+Error stack management is described in section 4.3. +

+ +

2.5 Global structure and key for thread cancellation prevention

+ +

+We need to preserve the thread cancellation status of each thread +individually by using a key H5_cancel_key_g. The status is +preserved using a structure (of type H5_cancel_t) which +maintains the cancellability state of the thread before it entered the +library and a count (which works very much like the recursive lock +counter) which keeps track of the number of API calls the thread makes +within the library. +

+ +

+The structure is defined in H5private.h as: +

+ +
+ 
+    /* cancelability structure */
+    typedef struct H5_cancel_struct {
+      int previous_state;
+      unsigned int cancel_count;
+    } H5_cancel_t;
+
+
+ +

+Thread cancellation is described in section 4.4. +

+ + +

3. Changes to Macro expansions

+ +

3.1 Changes to FUNC_ENTER

+ +

+The FUNC_ENTER macro is now extended to include macro calls +to initialize first threads, disable cancellability and wraps a lock +operation around the checking of the global initialization flag. It +should be noted that the cancellability should be disabled before +acquiring the lock on the library. Doing so otherwise would allow the +possibility that the thread be cancelled just after it has acquired the +lock on the library and in that scenario, if the cleanup routines are not +properly set, the library would be permanently locked out. +

+ +

+The additional macro code and new macro definitions can be found in +Appendix E.1 to E.5. The changes are made in H5private.h. +

+ +

3.2 Changes to HRETURN and HRETURN_ERROR

+ +

+The HRETURN and HRETURN_ERROR macros are the +counterparts to the FUNC_ENTER macro described in section +3.1. FUNC_LEAVE makes a macro call to HRETURN, +so it is also covered here. +

+ +

+The basic changes to these two macros involve adding macro calls to call +an unlock operation and re-enable cancellability if necessary. It should +be noted that the cancellability should be re-enabled only after the +thread has released the lock to the library. The consequence of doing +otherwise would be similar to that described in section 3.1. +

+ +

+The additional macro code and new macro definitions can be found in +Appendix E.9 to E.9. The changes are made in H5Eprivate.h. +

+ +

4. Implementation of threadsafe functionality

+ +

4.1 Recursive Locks

+ +

+A recursive mutex lock m allows a thread t1 to successfully lock m more +than once without blocking t1. Another thread t2 will block if t2 tries +to lock m while t1 holds the lock to m. If t1 makes k lock calls on m, +then it also needs to make k unlock calls on m before it releases the +lock. +

+ +

+Our implementation of recursive locks is built on top of a pthread mutex +lock (which is not recursive). It makes use of a pthread condition +variable to have unsuccessful threads wait on the mutex. Waiting threads +are awaken by a signal from the final unlock call made by the thread +holding the lock. +

+ +

+Recursive locks are defined to be the following type +(H5private.h): +

+ +
+ 
+    typedef struct H5_mutex_struct {
+      pthread_t owner_thread;         /* current lock owner */
+      pthread_mutex_t atomic_lock;    /* lock for atomicity of new mechanism */
+      pthread_cond_t cond_var;        /* condition variable */
+      unsigned int lock_count;
+    } H5_mutex_t;
+
+
+ +

+Detailed implementation code can be found in Appendix A. The +implementation changes are made in H5TS.c. +

+ +

4.2 First thread initialization

+ +

+Because the mutex lock associated with a recursive lock cannot be +statically initialized, a mechanism is required to initialize the +recursive lock associated with H5_g so that it can be used +for the first time. +

+ +

+The pthreads library allows this through the pthread_once call which as +described in section 3.3 allows only the first thread accessing the +library in an application to initialize H5_g. +

+ +

+In addition to initializing H5_g, it also initializes the +key (see section 3.4) for use with per-thread error stacks (see section +4.3). +

+ +

+The first thread initialization mechanism is implemented as the function +call H5_first_thread_init() in H5TS.c. This is +described in appendix B. +

+ +

4.3 Per-thread error stack management

+ +

+Pthreads allows individual threads to access dynamic and persistent +per-thread data through the use of keys. Each key is associated with +a table that maps threads to data items. Keys can be initialized by +pthread_key_create() in pthreads (see sections 3.4 and 4.2). +Per-thread data items are accessed using a key through the +pthread_getspecific() and pthread_setspecific() +calls to read and write to the association table respectively. +

+ +

+Per-thread error stacks are accessed through the key +H5_errstk_key_g which is initialized by the first thread +initialization call (see section 4.2). +

+ +

+In the non-threadsafe version of the library, there is a global stack +variable H5E_stack_g[1] which is no longer defined in the +threadsafe version. At the same time, the macro call to gain access to +the error stack H5E_get_my_stack is changed from: +

+ +
+ 
+    #define H5E_get_my_stack() (H5E_stack_g+0)
+
+
+ +

+to: +

+ +
+ 
+    #define H5E_get_my_stack() H5E_get_stack()
+
+
+ +

+where H5E_get_stack() is a surrogate function that does the +following operations: +

+ +
    +
  1. if a thread is attempting to get an error stack for the first + time, the error stack is dynamically allocated for the thread and + associated with H5_errstk_key_g using + pthread_setspecific(). The way we detect if it is the + first time is through pthread_getspecific() which + returns NULL if no previous value is associated with + the thread using the key.
    2. + +
  2. if pthread_getspecific() returns a non-null value, + then that is the pointer to the error stack associated with the + thread and the stack can be used as usual.
    3. +
+ +

+A final change to the error reporting routines is as follows; the current +implementation reports errors to always be detected at thread 0. In the +threadsafe implementation, this is changed to report the number returned +by a call to pthread_self(). +

+ +

+The change in code (reflected in H5Eprint of file +H5E.c) is as follows: +

+ +
+ 
+    #ifdef H5_HAVE_THREADSAFE
+      fprintf (stream, "HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in thread %d."
+               ,pthread_self());
+    #else
+      fprintf (stream, "HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in thread 0.");
+    #endif
+
+
+ +

+Code for H5E_get_stack() can be found in Appendix C. All the +above changes were made in H5E.c. +

+ +

4.4 Thread Cancellation safety

+ +

+To prevent thread cancellations from killing a thread while it is in the +library, we maintain per-thread information about the cancellability +status of the thread before it entered the library so that we can restore +that same status when the thread leaves the library. +

+ +

+By enter and leave the library, we mean the points when a +thread makes an API call from a user application and the time that API +call returns. Other API or callback function calls made from within that +API call are considered within the library. +

+ +

+Because other API calls may be made from within the first API call, we +need to maintain a counter to determine which was the first and +correspondingly the last return. +

+ +

+When a thread makes an API call, the macro H5_API_SET_CANCEL +calls the worker function H5_cancel_count_inc() which does +the following: +

+ +
    +
  1. if this is the first time the thread has entered the library, + a new cancellability structure needs to be assigned to it.
    2. +
  2. if the thread is already within the library when the API call is + made, then cancel_count is simply incremented. Otherwise, we set + the cancellability state to PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE + while storing the previous state into the cancellability structure. + cancel_count is also incremented in this case.
    3. +
+ +

+When a thread leaves an API call, the macro +H5_API_UNSET_CANCEL calls the worker function +H5_cancel_count_dec() which does the following: +

+ +
    +
  1. if cancel_count is greater than 1, indicating that the + thread is not yet about to leave the library, then + cancel_count is simply decremented.
    2. +
  2. otherwise, we reset the cancellability state back to its original + state before it entered the library and decrement the count (back + to zero).
    3. +
+ +

+H5_cancel_count_inc and H5_cancel_count_dec are +described in Appendix D and may be found in H5TS.c. +

+ +

5. Test programs

+ +

+Except where stated, all tests involve 16 simultaneous threads that make +use of HDF-5 API calls without any explicit synchronization typically +required in a non-threadsafe environment. +

+ +

5.1 Data set create and write

+ +

+The test program sets up 16 threads to simultaneously create 16 +different datasets named from zero to fifteen for a single +file and then writing an integer value into that dataset equal to the +dataset's named value. +

+ +

+The main thread would join with all 16 threads and attempt to match the +resulting HDF-5 file with expected results - that each dataset contains +the correct value (0 for zero, 1 for one etc ...) and all +datasets were correctly created. +

+ +

+The test is implemented in the file ttsafe_dcreate.c. +

+ +

5.2 Test on error stack

+ +

+The error stack test is one in which 16 threads simultaneously try to +create datasets with the same name. The result, when properly serialized, +should be equivalent to 16 attempts to create the dataset with the same +name. +

+ +

+The error stack implementation runs correctly if it reports 15 instances +of the dataset name conflict error and finally generates a correct HDF-5 +containing that single dataset. Each thread should report its own stack +of errors with a thread number associated with it. +

+ +

+The test is implemented in the file ttsafe_error.c. +

+ +

5.3 Test on cancellation safety

+ +

+The main idea in thread cancellation safety is as follows; a child thread +is spawned to create and write to a dataset. Following that, it makes a +H5Diterate call on that dataset which activates a callback +function. +

+ +

+A deliberate barrier is invoked at the callback function which waits for +both the main and child thread to arrive at that point. After that +happens, the main thread proceeds to make a thread cancel call on the +child thread while the latter sleeps for 3 seconds before proceeding to +write a new value to the dataset. +

+ +

+After the iterate call, the child thread logically proceeds to wait +another 3 seconds before writing another newer value to the dataset. +

+ +

+The test is correct if the main thread manages to read the second value +at the end of the test. This means that cancellation did not take place +until the end of the iteration call despite of the 3 second wait within +the iteration callback and the extra dataset write operation. +Furthermore, the cancellation should occur before the child can proceed +to write the last value into the dataset. +

+ +

5.4 Test on attribute creation

+ +

+A main thread makes 16 threaded calls to H5Acreate with a +generated name for each attribute. Sixteen attributes should be created +for the single dataset in random (chronological) order and receive values +depending on its generated attribute name (e.g. attrib010 would +receive the value 10). +

+ +

+After joining with all child threads, the main thread proceeds to read +each attribute by generated name to see if the value tallies. Failure is +detected if the attribute name does not exist (meaning they were never +created) or if the wrong values were read back. +

+ +

Introduction

+ +

+The HDF5 file format describes how HDF5 data structures and dataset raw +data are mapped to a linear format address space and the HDF5 +library implements that bidirectional mapping in terms of an +API. However, the HDF5 format specifications do not indicate how +the format address space is mapped onto storage and HDF (version 5 and +earlier) simply mapped the format address space directly onto a single +file by convention. + +

+

+Since early versions of HDF5 it became apparent that users want the ability to +map the format address space onto different types of storage (a single file, +multiple files, local memory, global memory, network distributed global +memory, a network protocol, etc.) with various types of maps. For +instance, some users want to be able to handle very large format address +spaces on operating systems that support only 2GB files by partitioning the +format address space into equal-sized parts each served by a separate +file. Other users want the same multi-file storage capability but want to +partition the address space according to purpose (raw data in one file, object +headers in another, global heap in a third, etc.) in order to improve I/O +speeds. + +

+

+In fact, the number of storage variations is probably larger than the +number of methods that the HDF5 team is capable of implementing and +supporting. Therefore, a Virtual File Layer API is being +implemented which will allow application teams or departments to design +and implement their own mapping between the HDF5 format address space +and storage, with each mapping being a separate file driver +(possibly written in terms of other file drivers). The HDF5 team will +provide a small set of useful file drivers which will also serve as +examples for those who which to write their own: + +

+
+ +
H5FD_SEC2 +
+This is the default driver which uses Posix file-system functions like +read and write to perform I/O to a single file. All I/O +requests are unbuffered although the driver does optimize file seeking +operations to some extent. + +
H5FD_STDIO +
+This driver uses functions from `stdio.h' to perform buffered I/O +to a single file. + +
H5FD_CORE +
+This driver performs I/O directly to memory and can be used to create small +temporary files that never exist on permanent storage. This type of storage is +generally very fast since the I/O consists only of memory-to-memory copy +operations. + +
H5FD_MPIIO +
+This is the driver of choice for accessing files in parallel using MPI and +MPI-IO. It is only predefined if the library is compiled with parallel I/O +support. + +
H5FD_FAMILY +
+Large format address spaces are partitioned into more manageable pieces and +sent to separate storage locations using an underlying driver of the user's +choice. The h5repart tool can be used to change the sizes of the +family members when stored as files or to convert a family of files to a +single file or vice versa. + +
H5FD_SPLIT +
+The format address space is split into meta data and raw data and each is +mapped onto separate storage using underlying drivers of the user's +choice. The meta data storage can be read by itself (for limited +functionality) or both files can be accessed together. +
+ + + +

Using a File Driver

+ +

+Most application writers will use a driver defined by the HDF5 library or +contributed by another programming team. This chapter describes how existing +drivers are used. + +

+ + + +

Driver Header Files

+ +

+Each file driver is defined in its own public header file which should +be included by any application which plans to use that driver. The +predefined drivers are in header files whose names begin with +`H5FD' followed by the driver name and `.h'. The `hdf5.h' +header file includes all the predefined driver header files. + +

+

+Once the appropriate header file is included a symbol of the form +`H5FD_' followed by the upper-case driver name will be the driver +identification number.(1) However, the +value may change if the library is closed (e.g., by calling +H5close) and the symbol is referenced again. + +

+ + +

Creating and Opening Files

+ +

+In order to create or open a file one must define the method by which the +storage is accessed(2) and does so by creating a file access property list(3) which is passed to the H5Fcreate or +H5Fopen function. A default file access property list is created by +calling H5Pcreate and then the file driver information is inserted by +calling a driver initialization function such as H5Pset_fapl_family: + +

+ +
+hid_t fapl = H5Pcreate(H5P_FILE_ACCESS);
+size_t member_size = 100*1024*1024; /*100MB*/
+H5Pset_fapl_family(fapl, member_size, H5P_DEFAULT);
+hid_t file = H5Fcreate("foo%05d.h5", H5F_ACC_TRUNC, H5P_DEFAULT, fapl);
+H5Pclose(fapl);
+
+ +

+Each file driver will have its own initialization function +whose name is H5Pset_fapl_ followed by the driver name and which +takes a file access property list as the first argument followed by +additional driver-dependent arguments. + +

+

+An alternative to using the driver initialization function is to set the +driver directly using the H5Pset_driver function.(4) Its second argument is the file driver identifier, which may +have a different numeric value from run to run depending on the order in which +the file drivers are registered with the library. The third argument +encapsulates the additional arguments of the driver initialization +function. This method only works if the file driver writer has made the +driver-specific property list structure a public datatype, which is +often not the case. + +

+ +
+hid_t fapl = H5Pcreate(H5P_FILE_ACCESS);
+static H5FD_family_fapl_t fa = {100*1024*1024, H5P_DEFAULT};
+H5Pset_driver(fapl, H5FD_FAMILY, &fa);
+hid_t file = H5Fcreate("foo.h5", H5F_ACC_TRUNC, H5P_DEFAULT, fapl);
+H5Pclose(fapl);
+
+ +

+It is also possible to query the file driver information from a file access +property list by calling H5Pget_driver to determine the driver and then +calling a driver-defined query function to obtain the driver information: + +

+ +
+hid_t driver = H5Pget_driver(fapl);
+if (H5FD_SEC2==driver) {
+    /*nothing further to get*/
+} else if (H5FD_FAMILY==driver) {
+    hid_t member_fapl;
+    haddr_t member_size;
+    H5Pget_fapl_family(fapl, &member_size, &member_fapl);
+} else if (....) {
+    ....
+}
+
+ + + +

Performing I/O

+ +

+The H5Dread and H5Dwrite functions transfer data between +application memory and the file. They both take an optional data transfer +property list which has some general driver-independent properties and +optional driver-defined properties. An application will typically perform I/O +in one of three styles via the H5Dread or H5Dwrite function: + +

+

+Like file access properties in the previous section, data transfer properties +can be set using a driver initialization function or a general purpose +function. For example, to set the MPI-IO driver to use independent access for +I/O operations one would say: + +

+ +
+hid_t dxpl = H5Pcreate(H5P_DATA_XFER);
+H5Pset_dxpl_mpio(dxpl, H5FD_MPIO_INDEPENDENT);
+H5Dread(dataset, type, mspace, fspace, buffer, dxpl);
+H5Pclose(dxpl);
+
+ +

+The alternative is to initialize a driver defined C struct and pass it +to the H5Pset_driver function: + +

+ +
+hid_t dxpl = H5Pcreate(H5P_DATA_XFER);
+static H5FD_mpio_dxpl_t dx = {H5FD_MPIO_INDEPENDENT};
+H5Pset_driver(dxpl, H5FD_MPIO, &dx);
+H5Dread(dataset, type, mspace, fspace, buffer, dxpl);
+
+ +

+The transfer propery list can be queried in a manner similar to the file +access property list: the driver provides a function (or functions) to return +various information about the transfer property list: + +

+ +
+hid_t driver = H5Pget_driver(dxpl);
+if (H5FD_MPIO==driver) {
+    H5FD_mpio_xfer_t xfer_mode;
+    H5Pget_dxpl_mpio(dxpl, &xfer_mode);
+} else {
+    ....
+}
+
+ + + +

File Driver Interchangeability

+ +

+The HDF5 specifications describe two things: the mapping of data onto a linear +format address space and the C API which performs the mapping. +However, the mapping of the format address space onto storage intentionally +falls outside the scope of the HDF5 specs. This is a direct result of the fact +that it is not generally possible to store information about how to access +storage inside the storage itself. For instance, given only the file name +`/arborea/1225/work/f%03d' the HDF5 library is unable to tell whether the +name refers to a file on the local file system, a family of files on the local +file system, a file on host `arborea' port 1225, a family of files on a +remote system, etc. + +

+

+Two ways which library could figure out where the storage is located are: +storage access information can be provided by the user, or the library can try +all known file access methods. This implementation uses the former method. + +

+

+In general, if a file was created with one driver then it isn't possible to +open it with another driver. There are of course exceptions: a file created +with MPIO could probably be opened with the sec2 driver, any file created +by the sec2 driver could be opened as a family of files with one member, +etc. In fact, sometimes a file must not only be opened with the same +driver but also with the same driver properties. The predefined drivers are +written in such a way that specifying the correct driver is sufficient for +opening a file. + +

+ + +

Implementation of a Driver

+ +

+A driver is simply a collection of functions and data structures which are +registered with the HDF5 library at runtime. The functions fall into these +categories: + +

+ +
    +
  • Functions which operate on modes + +
  • Functions which operate on files + +
  • Functions which operate on the address space + +
  • Functions which operate on data + +
  • Functions for driver initialization + +
  • Optimization functions + +
+ + + +

Mode Functions

+ +

+Some drivers need information about file access and data transfers which are +very specific to the driver. The information is usually implemented as a pair +of pointers to C structs which are allocated and initialized as part of an +HDF5 property list and passed down to various driver functions. There are two +classes of settings: file access modes that describe how to access the file +through the driver, and data transfer modes which are settings that control +I/O operations. Each file opened by a particular driver may have a different +access mode; each dataset I/O request for a particular file may have a +different data transfer mode. + +

+

+Since each driver has its own particular requirements for various settings, +each driver is responsible for defining the mode structures that it +needs. Higher layers of the library treat the structures as opaque but must be +able to copy and free them. Thus, the driver provides either the size of the +structure or a pair of function pointers for each of the mode types. + +

+

+Example: The family driver needs to know how the format address +space is partitioned and the file access property list to use for the +family members. + +

+ +
+/* Driver-specific file access properties */
+typedef struct H5FD_family_fapl_t {
+    hsize_t     memb_size;      /*size of each member                   */
+    hid_t       memb_fapl_id;   /*file access property list of each memb*/
+} H5FD_family_fapl_t;
+
+/* Driver specific data transfer properties */
+typedef struct H5FD_family_dxpl_t {
+    hid_t       memb_dxpl_id;   /*data xfer property list of each memb  */
+} H5FD_family_dxpl_t;
+
+ +

+In order to copy or free one of these structures the member file access +or data transfer properties must also be copied or freed. This is done +by providing a copy and close function for each structure: + +

+

+Example: The file access property list copy and close functions +for the family driver: + +

+ +
+static void *
+H5FD_family_fapl_copy(const void *_old_fa)
+{
+    const H5FD_family_fapl_t *old_fa = (const H5FD_family_fapl_t*)_old_fa;
+    H5FD_family_fapl_t *new_fa = malloc(sizeof(H5FD_family_fapl_t));
+    assert(new_fa);
+
+    memcpy(new_fa, old_fa, sizeof(H5FD_family_fapl_t));
+    new_fa->memb_fapl_id = H5Pcopy(old_fa->memb_fapl_id);
+    return new_fa;
+}
+
+static herr_t
+H5FD_family_fapl_free(void *_fa)
+{
+    H5FD_family_fapl_t  *fa = (H5FD_family_fapl_t*)_fa;
+    H5Pclose(fa->memb_fapl_id);
+    free(fa);
+    return 0;
+}
+
+ +

+Generally when a file is created or opened the file access properties +for the driver are copied into the file pointer which is returned and +they may be modified from their original value (for instance, the file +family driver modifies the member size property when opening an existing +family). In order to support the H5Fget_access_plist function the +driver must provide a fapl_get callback which creates a copy of +the driver-specific properties based on a particular file. + +

+

+Example: The file family driver copies the member size file +access property list into the return value: + +

+ +
+static void *
+H5FD_family_fapl_get(H5FD_t *_file)
+{
+    H5FD_family_t	*file = (H5FD_family_t*)_file;
+    H5FD_family_fapl_t	*fa = calloc(1, sizeof(H5FD_family_fapl_t*));
+
+    fa->memb_size = file->memb_size;
+    fa->memb_fapl_id = H5Pcopy(file->memb_fapl_id);
+    return fa;
+}
+
+ + + +

File Functions

+ +

+The higher layers of the library expect files to have a name and allow the +file to be accessed in various modes. The driver must be able to create a new +file, replace an existing file, or open an existing file. Opening or creating +a file should return a handle, a pointer to a specialization of the +H5FD_t struct, which allows read-only or read-write access and which +will be passed to the other driver functions as they are +called.(5) + +

+ +
+typedef struct {
+    /* Public fields */
+    H5FD_class_t *cls; /*class data defined below*/
+
+    /* Private fields -- driver-defined */
+
+} H5FD_t;
+
+ +

+Example: The family driver requires handles to the underlying +storage, the size of the members for this particular file (which might be +different than the member size specified in the file access property list if +an existing file family is being opened), the name used to open the file in +case additional members must be created, and the flags to use for creating +those additional members. The eoa member caches the size of the format +address space so the family members don't have to be queried in order to find +it. + +

+ +
+/* The description of a file belonging to this driver. */
+typedef struct H5FD_family_t {
+    H5FD_t      pub;            /*public stuff, must be first           */
+    hid_t       memb_fapl_id;   /*file access property list for members */
+    hsize_t     memb_size;      /*maximum size of each member file      */
+    int         nmembs;         /*number of family members              */
+    int         amembs;         /*number of member slots allocated      */
+    H5FD_t      **memb;         /*dynamic array of member pointers      */
+    haddr_t     eoa;            /*end of allocated addresses            */
+    char        *name;          /*name generator printf format          */
+    unsigned    flags;          /*flags for opening additional members  */
+} H5FD_family_t;
+
+ +

+Example: The sec2 driver needs to keep track of the underlying Unix +file descriptor and also the end of format address space and current Unix file +size. It also keeps track of the current file position and last operation +(read, write, or unknown) in order to optimize calls to lseek. The +device and inode fields are defined on Unix in order to uniquely +identify the file and will be discussed below. + +

+ +
+typedef struct H5FD_sec2_t {
+    H5FD_t      pub;                    /*public stuff, must be first   */
+    int         fd;                     /*the unix file                 */
+    haddr_t     eoa;                    /*end of allocated region       */
+    haddr_t     eof;                    /*end of file; current file size*/
+    haddr_t     pos;                    /*current file I/O position     */
+    int         op;                     /*last operation                */
+    dev_t       device;                 /*file device number            */
+    ino_t       inode;                  /*file i-node number            */
+} H5FD_sec2_t;
+
+ + + +

Opening Files

+ +

+All drivers must define a function for opening/creating a file. This +function should have a prototype which is: + +

+

+

+
Function: static H5FD_t * open (const char *name, unsigned flags, hid_t fapl, haddr_t maxaddr) +
+ +

+

+The file name name and file access property list fapl are +the same as were specified in the H5Fcreate or H5Fopen +call. The flags are the same as in those calls also except the +flag H5F_ACC_CREATE is also present if the call was to +H5Fcreate and they are documented in the `H5Fpublic.h' +file. The maxaddr argument is the maximum format address that the +driver should be prepared to handle (the minimum address is always +zero). +

+ +

+

+Example: The sec2 driver opens a Unix file with the requested name +and saves information which uniquely identifies the file (the Unix device +number and inode). + +

+ +
+static H5FD_t *
+H5FD_sec2_open(const char *name, unsigned flags, hid_t fapl_id/*unused*/,
+               haddr_t maxaddr)
+{
+    unsigned    o_flags;
+    int         fd;
+    struct stat sb;
+    H5FD_sec2_t *file=NULL;
+
+    /* Check arguments */
+    if (!name || !*name) return NULL;
+    if (0==maxaddr || HADDR_UNDEF==maxaddr) return NULL;
+    if (ADDR_OVERFLOW(maxaddr)) return NULL;
+
+    /* Build the open flags */
+    o_flags = (H5F_ACC_RDWR & flags) ? O_RDWR : O_RDONLY;
+    if (H5F_ACC_TRUNC & flags) o_flags |= O_TRUNC;
+    if (H5F_ACC_CREAT & flags) o_flags |= O_CREAT;
+    if (H5F_ACC_EXCL & flags) o_flags |= O_EXCL;
+
+    /* Open the file */
+    if ((fd=open(name, o_flags, 0666))<0) return NULL;
+    if (fstat(fd, &sb)<0) {
+        close(fd);
+        return NULL;
+    }
+
+    /* Create the new file struct */
+    file = calloc(1, sizeof(H5FD_sec2_t));
+    file->fd = fd;
+    file->eof = sb.st_size;
+    file->pos = HADDR_UNDEF;
+    file->op = OP_UNKNOWN;
+    file->device = sb.st_dev;
+    file->inode = sb.st_ino;
+
+    return (H5FD_t*)file;
+}
+
+ + + +

Closing Files

+ +

+Closing a file simply means that all cached data should be flushed to the next +lower layer, the file should be closed at the next lower layer, and all +file-related data structures should be freed. All information needed by the +close function is already present in the file handle. + +

+

+

+
Function: static herr_t close (H5FD_t *file) +
+ +

+

+The file argument is the handle which was returned by the open +function, and the close should free only memory associated with the +driver-specific part of the handle (the public parts will have already been released by HDF5's virtual file layer). +

+ +

+

+Example: The sec2 driver just closes the underlying Unix file, +making sure that the actual file size is the same as that known to the +library by writing a zero to the last file position it hasn't been +written by some previous operation (which happens in the same code which +flushes the file contents and is shown below). + +

+ +
+static herr_t
+H5FD_sec2_close(H5FD_t *_file)
+{
+    H5FD_sec2_t *file = (H5FD_sec2_t*)_file;
+
+    if (H5FD_sec2_flush(_file)<0) return -1;
+    if (close(file->fd)<0) return -1;
+    free(file);
+    return 0;
+}
+
+ + + +

File Keys

+ +

+Occasionally an application will attempt to open a single file more than one +time in order to obtain multiple handles to the file. HDF5 allows the files to +share information(6) but in order to +accomplish this HDF5 must be able to tell when two names refer to the same +file. It does this by associating a driver-defined key with each file opened +by a driver and comparing the key for an open request with the keys for all +other files currently open by the same driver. + +

+

+

+
Function: const int cmp (const H5FD_t *f1, const H5FD_t *f2) +
+ +

+

+The driver may provide a function which compares two files f1 and +f2 belonging to the same driver and returns a negative, positive, or +zero value a la the strcmp function.(7) If this +function is not provided then HDF5 assumes that all calls to the open +callback return unique files regardless of the arguments and it is up to the +application to avoid doing this if that assumption is incorrect. +

+ +

+

+Each time a file is opened the library calls the cmp function to +compare that file with all other files currently open by the same driver and +if one of them matches (at most one can match) then the file which was just +opened is closed and the previously opened file is used instead. + +

+

+Opening a file twice with incompatible flags will result in failure. For +instance, opening a file with the truncate flag is a two step process which +first opens the file without truncation so keys can be compared, and if no +matching file is found already open then the file is closed and immediately +reopened with the truncation flag set (if a matching file is already open then +the truncating open will fail). + +

+

+Example: The sec2 driver uses the Unix device and i-node as the +key. They were initialized when the file was opened. + +

+ +
+static int
+H5FD_sec2_cmp(const H5FD_t *_f1, const H5FD_t *_f2)
+{
+    const H5FD_sec2_t   *f1 = (const H5FD_sec2_t*)_f1;
+    const H5FD_sec2_t   *f2 = (const H5FD_sec2_t*)_f2;
+
+    if (f1->device < f2->device) return -1;
+    if (f1->device > f2->device) return 1;
+
+    if (f1->inode < f2->inode) return -1;
+    if (f1->inode > f2->inode) return 1;
+
+    return 0;
+}
+
+ + + +

Saving Modes Across Opens

+ +

+Some drivers may also need to store certain information in the file superblock +in order to be able to reliably open the file at a later date. This is done by +three functions: one to determine how much space will be necessary to store +the information in the superblock, one to encode the information, and one to +decode the information. These functions are optional, but if any one is +defined then the other two must also be defined. + +

+

+

+
Function: static hsize_t sb_size (H5FD_t *file) +
+
Function: static herr_t sb_encode (H5FD_t *file, char *name, unsigned char *buf) +
+
Function: static herr_t sb_decode (H5FD_t *file, const char *name, const unsigned char *buf) +
+ +

+

+The sb_size function returns the number of bytes necessary to encode +information needed later if the file is reopened. The sb_encode +function encodes information from the file into buffer buf +allocated by the caller. It also writes an 8-character (plus null +termination) into the name argument, which should be a unique +identification for the driver. The sb_decode function looks at +the name + +

+

+ decodes +data from the buffer buf and updates the file argument with the new information, +advancing *p in the process. +

+ +

+

+The part of this which is somewhat tricky is that the file must be readable +before the superblock information is decoded. File access modes fall outside +the scope of the HDF5 file format, but they are placed inside the boot block +for convenience.(8) + +

+

+Example: To be written later. + +

+ + +

Address Space Functions

+ +

+HDF5 does not assume that a file is a linear address space of bytes. Instead, +the library will call functions to allocate and free portions of the HDF5 +format address space, which in turn map onto functions in the file driver to +allocate and free portions of file address space. The library tells the file +driver how much format address space it wants to allocate and the driver +decides what format address to use and how that format address is mapped onto +the file address space. Usually the format address is chosen so that the file +address can be calculated in constant time for data I/O operations (which are +always specified by format addresses). + +

+ + + +

Userblock and Superblock

+ +

+The HDF5 format allows an optional userblock to appear before the actual HDF5 +data in such a way that if the userblock is sucked out of the file and +everything remaining is shifted downward in the file address space, then the +file is still a valid HDF5 file. The userblock size can be zero or any +multiple of two greater than or equal to 512 and the file superblock begins +immediately after the userblock. + +

+

+HDF5 allocates space for the userblock and superblock by calling an +allocation function defined below, which must return a chunk of memory at +format address zero on the first call. + +

+ + +

Allocation of Format Regions

+ +

+The library makes many types of allocation requests: + +

+
+ +
H5FD_MEM_SUPER +
+An allocation request for the userblock and/or superblock. +
H5FD_MEM_BTREE +
+An allocation request for a node of a B-tree. +
H5FD_MEM_DRAW +
+An allocation request for the raw data of a dataset. +
H5FD_MEM_META +
+An allocation request for the raw data of a dataset which +the user has indicated will be relatively small. +
H5FD_MEM_GROUP +
+An allocation request for a group leaf node (internal nodes of the group tree +are allocated as H5MF_BTREE). +
H5FD_MEM_GHEAP +
+An allocation request for a global heap collection. Global heaps are used to +store certain types of references such as dataset region references. The set +of all global heap collections can become quite large. +
H5FD_MEM_LHEAP +
+An allocation request for a local heap. Local heaps are used to store the +names which are members of a group. The combined size of all local heaps is a +function of the number of object names in the file. +
H5FD_MEM_OHDR +
+An allocation request for (part of) an object header. Object headers are +relatively small and include meta information about objects (like the data +space and type of a dataset) and attributes. +
+ +

+When a chunk of memory is freed the library adds it to a free list and +allocation requests are satisfied from the free list before requesting memory +from the file driver. Each type of allocation request enumerated above has its +own free list, but the file driver can specify that certain object types can +share a free list. It does so by providing an array which maps a request type +to a free list. If any value of the map is H5MF_DEFAULT (zero) then the +object's own free list is used. The special value H5MF_NOLIST indicates +that the library should not attempt to maintain a free list for that +particular object type, instead calling the file driver each time an object of +that type is freed. + +

+

+Mappings predefined in the `H5FDpublic.h' file are: +

+ +
H5FD_FLMAP_SINGLE +
+All memory usage types are mapped to a single free list. +
H5FD_FLMAP_DICHOTOMY +
+Memory usage is segregated into meta data and raw data for the purposes of +memory management. +
H5FD_FLMAP_DEFAULT +
+Each memory usage type has its own free list. +
+ +

+Example: To make a map that manages object headers on one free list +and everything else on another free list one might initialize the map with the +following code: (the use of H5FD_MEM_SUPER is arbitrary) + +

+ +
+H5FD_mem_t mt, map[H5FD_MEM_NTYPES];
+
+for (mt=0; mt<H5FD_MEM_NTYPES; mt++) {
+    map[mt] = (H5FD_MEM_OHDR==mt) ? mt : H5FD_MEM_SUPER;
+}
+
+ +

+If an allocation request cannot be satisfied from the free list then one of +two things happen. If the driver defines an allocation callback then it is +used to allocate space; otherwise new memory is allocated from the end of the +format address space by incrementing the end-of-address marker. + +

+

+

+
Function: static haddr_t alloc (H5FD_t *file, H5MF_type_t type, hsize_t size) +
+ +

+

+The file argument is the file from which space is to be allocated, +type is the type of memory being requested (from the list above) without +being mapped according to the freelist map and size is the number of +bytes being requested. The library is allowed to allocate large chunks of +storage and manage them in a layer above the file driver (although the current +library doesn't do that). The allocation function should return a format +address for the first byte allocated. The allocated region extends from that +address for size bytes. If the request cannot be honored then the +undefined address value is returned (HADDR_UNDEF). The first call to +this function for a file which has never had memory allocated must +return a format address of zero or HADDR_UNDEF since this is how the +library allocates space for the userblock and/or superblock. +

+ +

+ +

+Example: To be written later. + +

+ + +

Freeing Format Regions

+ +

+When the library is finished using a certain region of the format address +space it will return the space to the free list according to the type of +memory being freed and the free list map described above. If the free list has +been disabled for a particular memory usage type (according to the free list +map) and the driver defines a free callback then it will be +invoked. The free callback is also invoked for all entries on the free +list when the file is closed. + +

+

+

+
Function: static herr_t free (H5FD_t *file, H5MF_type_t type, haddr_t addr, hsize_t size) +
+ +

+

+The file argument is the file for which space is being freed; type +is the type of object being freed (from the list above) without being mapped +according to the freelist map; addr is the first format address to free; +and size is the size in bytes of the region being freed. The region +being freed may refer to just part of the region originally allocated and/or +may cross allocation boundaries provided all regions being freed have the same +usage type. However, the library will never attempt to free regions which have +already been freed or which have never been allocated. +

+ +

+

+A driver may choose to not define the free function, in which case +format addresses will be leaked. This isn't normally a huge problem since the +library contains a simple free list of its own and freeing parts of the format +address space is not a common occurrence. + +

+

+Example: To be written later. + +

+ + +

Querying Address Range

+ +

+Each file driver must have some mechanism for setting and querying the end of +address, or EOA, marker. The EOA marker is the first format address +after the last format address ever allocated. If the last part of the +allocated address range is freed then the driver may optionally decrease the +eoa marker. + +

+

+

+
Function: static haddr_t get_eoa (H5FD_t *file) +
+ +

+

+This function returns the current value of the EOA marker for the specified +file. +

+ +

+

+Example: The sec2 driver just returns the current eoa marker value +which is cached in the file structure: + +

+ +
+static haddr_t
+H5FD_sec2_get_eoa(H5FD_t *_file)
+{
+    H5FD_sec2_t *file = (H5FD_sec2_t*)_file;
+    return file->eoa;
+}
+
+ +

+The eoa marker is initially zero when a file is opened and the library may set +it to some other value shortly after the file is opened (after the superblock +is read and the saved eoa marker is determined) or when allocating additional +memory in the absence of an alloc callback (described above). + +

+

+Example: The sec2 driver simply caches the eoa marker in the file +structure and does not extend the underlying Unix file. When the file is +flushed or closed then the Unix file size is extended to match the eoa marker. + +

+ +
+static herr_t
+H5FD_sec2_set_eoa(H5FD_t *_file, haddr_t addr)
+{
+    H5FD_sec2_t *file = (H5FD_sec2_t*)_file;
+    file->eoa = addr;
+    return 0;
+}
+
+ + + +

Data Functions

+ +

+These functions operate on data, transferring a region of the format address +space between memory and files. + +

+ + + +

Contiguous I/O Functions

+ +

+A driver must specify two functions to transfer data from the library to the +file and vice versa. + +

+

+

+
Function: static herr_t read (H5FD_t *file, H5FD_mem_t type, hid_t dxpl, haddr_t addr, hsize_t size, void *buf) +
+
Function: static herr_t write (H5FD_t *file, H5FD_mem_t type, hid_t dxpl, haddr_t addr, hsize_t size, const void *buf) +
+ +

+

+The read function reads data from file file beginning at address +addr and continuing for size bytes into the buffer buf +supplied by the caller. The write function transfers data in the +opposite direction. Both functions take a data transfer property list +dxpl which indicates the fine points of how the data is to be +transferred and which comes directly from the H5Dread or +H5Dwrite function. Both functions receive type of +data being written, which may allow a driver to tune it's behavior for +different kinds of data. +

+ +

+

+Both functions should return a negative value if they fail to transfer the +requested data, or non-negative if they succeed. The library will never +attempt to read from unallocated regions of the format address space. + +

+

+Example: The sec2 driver just makes system calls. It tries not to +call lseek if the current operation is the same as the previous +operation and the file position is correct. It also fills the output buffer +with zeros when reading between the current EOF and EOA markers and restarts +system calls which were interrupted. + +

+ +
+static herr_t
+H5FD_sec2_read(H5FD_t *_file, H5FD_mem_t type/*unused*/, hid_t dxpl_id/*unused*/,
+        haddr_t addr, hsize_t size, void *buf/*out*/)
+{
+    H5FD_sec2_t         *file = (H5FD_sec2_t*)_file;
+    ssize_t             nbytes;
+
+    assert(file && file->pub.cls);
+    assert(buf);
+
+    /* Check for overflow conditions */
+    if (REGION_OVERFLOW(addr, size)) return -1;
+    if (addr+size>file->eoa) return -1;
+
+    /* Seek to the correct location */
+    if ((addr!=file->pos || OP_READ!=file->op) &&
+        file_seek(file->fd, (file_offset_t)addr, SEEK_SET)<0) {
+        file->pos = HADDR_UNDEF;
+        file->op = OP_UNKNOWN;
+        return -1;
+    }
+
+    /*
+     * Read data, being careful of interrupted system calls, partial results,
+     * and the end of the file.
+     */
+    while (size>0) {
+        do nbytes = read(file->fd, buf, size);
+        while (-1==nbytes && EINTR==errno);
+        if (-1==nbytes) {
+            /* error */
+            file->pos = HADDR_UNDEF;
+            file->op = OP_UNKNOWN;
+            return -1;
+        }
+        if (0==nbytes) {
+            /* end of file but not end of format address space */
+            memset(buf, 0, size);
+            size = 0;
+        }
+        assert(nbytes>=0);
+        assert((hsize_t)nbytes<=size);
+        size -= (hsize_t)nbytes;
+        addr += (haddr_t)nbytes;
+        buf = (char*)buf + nbytes;
+    }
+
+    /* Update current position */
+    file->pos = addr;
+    file->op = OP_READ;
+    return 0;
+}
+
+ +

+Example: The sec2 write callback is similar except it updates +the file EOF marker when extending the file. + +

+ + +

Flushing Cached Data

+ +

+Some drivers may desire to cache data in memory in order to make larger I/O +requests to the underlying file and thus improving bandwidth. Such drivers +should register a cache flushing function so that the library can insure that +data has been flushed out of the drivers in response to the application +calling H5Fflush. + +

+

+

+
Function: static herr_t flush (H5FD_t *file) +
+ +

+

+Flush all data for file file to storage. +

+ +

+

+Example: The sec2 driver doesn't cache any data but it also doesn't +extend the Unix file as agressively as it should. Therefore, when finalizing a +file it should write a zero to the last byte of the allocated region so that +when reopening the file later the EOF marker will be at least as large as the +EOA marker saved in the superblock (otherwise HDF5 will refuse to open the +file, claiming that the data appears to be truncated). + +

+ +
+static herr_t
+H5FD_sec2_flush(H5FD_t *_file)
+{
+    H5FD_sec2_t *file = (H5FD_sec2_t*)_file;
+
+    if (file->eoa>file->eof) {
+        if (-1==file_seek(file->fd, file->eoa-1, SEEK_SET)) return -1;
+        if (write(file->fd, "", 1)!=1) return -1;
+        file->eof = file->eoa;
+        file->pos = file->eoa;
+        file->op = OP_WRITE;
+    }
+
+    return 0;
+}
+
+ + + +

Optimization Functions

+ +

+The library is capable of performing several generic optimizations on I/O, but +these types of optimizations may not be appropriate for a given VFL driver. +

+ +

+Each driver may provide a query function to allow the library to query whether +to enable these optimizations. If a driver lacks a query function, the library +will disable all types of optimizations which can be queried. +

+ +

+

+
Function: static herr_t query (const H5FD_t *file, unsigned long *flags) +
+

+

+This function is called by the library to query which optimizations to enable +for I/O to this driver. These are the flags which are currently defined: + +

    +
    +
    H5FD_FEAT_AGGREGATE_METADATA (0x00000001) +
    Defining the H5FD_FEAT_AGGREGATE_METADATA for a VFL driver means that +the library will attempt to allocate a larger block for metadata and +then sub-allocate each metadata request from that larger block. +
    H5FD_FEAT_ACCUMULATE_METADATA (0x00000002) +
    Defining the H5FD_FEAT_ACCUMULATE_METADATA for a VFL driver means that +the library will attempt to cache metadata as it is written to the file +and build up a larger block of metadata to eventually pass to the VFL +'write' routine. +
    H5FD_FEAT_DATA_SIEVE (0x00000004) +
    Defining the H5FD_FEAT_DATA_SIEVE for a VFL driver means that +the library will attempt to cache raw data as it is read from/written to +a file in a "data sieve" buffer. See Rajeev Thakur's papers: +
      +
      +

+ +

Registration of a Driver

+ +

+Before a driver can be used the HDF5 library needs to be told of its +existence. This is done by registering the driver, which results in a driver +identification number. Instead of passing many arguments to the registration +function, the driver information is entered into a structure and the address +of the structure is passed to the registration function where it is +copied. This allows the HDF5 API to be extended while providing backward +compatibility at the source level. + +

+

+

+
Function: hid_t H5FDregister (H5FD_class_t *cls) +
+ +

+

+The driver described by struct cls is registered with the library and an +ID number for the driver is returned. +

+ +

+

+The H5FD_class_t type is a struct with the following fields: + +

+
+ +
const char *name +
+A pointer to a constant, null-terminated driver name to be used for debugging +purposes. +
size_t fapl_size +
+The size in bytes of the file access mode structure or zero if the driver +supplies a copy function or doesn't define the structure. +
void *(*fapl_copy)(const void *fapl) +
+An optional function which copies a driver-defined file access mode structure. +This field takes precedence over fm_size when both are defined. +
void (*fapl_free)(void *fapl) +
+An optional function to free the driver-defined file access mode structure. If +null, then the library calls the C free function to free the +structure. +
size_t dxpl_size +
+The size in bytes of the data transfer mode structure or zero if the driver +supplies a copy function or doesn't define the structure. +
void *(*dxpl_copy)(const void *dxpl) +
+An optional function which copies a driver-defined data transfer mode +structure. This field takes precedence over xm_size when both are +defined. +
void (*dxpl_free)(void *dxpl) +
+An optional function to free the driver-defined data transfer mode +structure. If null, then the library calls the C free function to +free the structure. +
H5FD_t *(*open)(const char *name, unsigned flags, hid_t fapl, haddr_t maxaddr) +
+The function which opens or creates a new file. +
herr_t (*close)(H5FD_t *file) +
+The function which ends access to a file. +
int (*cmp)(const H5FD_t *f1, const H5FD_t *f2) +
+An optional function to determine whether two open files have the same key. If +this function is not present then the library assumes that two files will +never be the same. +
int (*query)(const H5FD_t *f, unsigned long *flags) +
+An optional function to determine which library optimizations a driver can +support. +
haddr_t (*alloc)(H5FD_t *file, H5FD_mem_t type, hsize_t size) +
+An optional function to allocate space in the file. +
herr_t (*free)(H5FD_t *file, H5FD_mem_t type, haddr_t addr, hsize_t size) +
+An optional function to free space in the file. +
haddr_t (*get_eoa)(H5FD_t *file) +
+A function to query how much of the format address space has been allocated. +

+ +

+A driver can be removed from the library by unregistering it + +

+

+

+
Function: herr_t H5Dunregister (hid_t driver) +
+Where driver is the ID number returned when the driver was registered. +
+ +

+

+Unregistering a driver makes it unusable for creating new file access or data +transfer property lists but doesn't affect any property lists or files that +already use that driver. + +

+ + + + +

Programming Note +for C++ Developers Using C Functions

+ +

If a C routine that takes a function pointer as an argument is +called from within C++ code, the C routine should be returned from +normally.

+ +

Examples of this kind of routine include callbacks such as +H5Pset_elink_cb and H5Pset_type_conv_cb +and functions such as H5Tconvert and +H5Ewalk2.

+ +

Exiting the routine in its normal fashion allows the HDF5 C +Library to clean up its work properly. In other words, if the C++ +application jumps out of the routine back to the C++ +“catch” statement, the library is not given the +opportunity to close any temporary data structures that were set +up when the routine was called. The C++ application should save +some state as the routine is started so that any problem that +occurs might be diagnosed.

+ + + + + + + +

Querying Driver Information

+ +

+

+
Function: void * H5Pget_driver_data (hid_t fapl) +
+
Function: void * H5Pget_driver_data (hid_t fxpl) +
+ +

+

+This function is intended to be used by driver functions, not applications. +It returns a pointer directly into the file access property list +fapl which is a copy of the driver's file access mode originally +provided to the H5Pset_driver function. If its argument is a data +transfer property list fxpl then it returns a pointer to the +driver-specific data transfer information instead. +

+ +

+ + + +

Miscellaneous

+ +

+The various private H5F_low_* functions will be replaced by public +H5FD* functions so they can be called from drivers. + +

+

+All private functions H5F_addr_* which operate on addresses will be +renamed as public functions by removing the first underscore so they can be +called by drivers. + +

+

+The haddr_t address data type will be passed by value throughout the +library. The original intent was that this type would eventually be a union of +file address types for the various drivers and may become quite large, but +that was back when drivers were part of HDF5. It will become an alias for an +unsigned integer type (32 or 64 bits depending on how the library was +configured). + +

+

+The various H5F*.c driver files will be renamed H5FD*.c and each +will have a corresponding header file. All driver functions except the +initializer and API will be declared static. + +

+

+This documentation didn't cover optimization functions which would be useful +to drivers like MPI-IO. Some drivers may be able to perform data pipeline +operations more efficiently than HDF5 and need to be given a chance to +override those parts of the pipeline. The pipeline would be designed to call +various H5FD optimization functions at various points which return one of +three values: the operation is not implemented by the driver, the operation is +implemented but failed in a non-recoverable manner, the operation is +implemented and succeeded. + +

+

+Various parts of HDF5 check the only the top-level file driver and do +something special if it is the MPI-IO driver. However, we might want to be +able to put the MPI-IO driver under other drivers such as the raw part of a +split driver or under a debug driver whose sole purpose is to accumulate +statistics as it passes all requests through to the MPI-IO driver. Therefore +we will probably need a function which takes a format address and or object +type and returns the driver which would have been used at the lowest level to +process the request. + +

+ +

+

Footnotes

+

(1)

+

The driver name is by convention and might +not apply to drivers which are not distributed with HDF5. +

(2)

+

The access method also indicates how to translate +the storage name to a storage server such as a file, network protocol, or +memory. +

(3)

+

The term +"file access property list" is a misnomer since storage isn't +required to be a file. +

(4)

+

This +function is overloaded to operate on data transfer property lists also, as +described below. +

(5)

+

Read-only access is only appropriate when opening an existing +file. +

(6)

+

For instance, writing data to one handle will cause +the data to be immediately visible on the other handle. +

(7)

+

The ordering is +arbitrary as long as it's consistent within a particular file driver. +

(8)

+

File access modes do not describe data, but rather +describe how the HDF5 format address space is mapped to the underlying +file(s). Thus, in general the mapping must be known before the file superblock +can be read. However, the user usually knows enough about the mapping for the +superblock to be readable and once the superblock is read the library can fill +in the missing parts of the mapping. +

      + *
    1. Let \c file denote a valid HDF5 file identifier, and let \c lapl + * denote a valid link access property list identifier.

    2. Let \c root denote a valid HDF5 group identifier that refers to the + * root group of an HDF5 file, and let \c lapl denote a valid link + * access property list identifier.

    + * This flag should not be set for the Fletcher32 checksum + * filter as it will bypass the checksum filter without + * reporting checksum errors to an application.
    #H5Z_FLAG_MANDATORYIf the filter is required, that is, set to mandatory, + * and the filter fails, the library’s behavior depends + * on whether the chunk cache is in use: + * \li If the chunk cache is enabled, data chunks will + * be flushed to the file during H5Dclose() and the + * library will return the failure in H5Dclose(). + * \li When the chunk cache is disabled or not big enough, + * or the chunk is being evicted from the cache, the + * failure will happen during H5Dwrite(). + * + * In each case, the library will still write to the file + * all data chunks that were processed by the filter + * before the failure occurred.

    + * For example, assume that an application creates a + * dataset of four chunks, the chunk cache is enabled and + * is big enough to hold all four chunks, and the filter + * fails when it tries to write the fourth chunk. The + * actual flush of the chunks will happen during + * H5Dclose(), not H5Dwrite(). By the time H5Dclose() + * fails, the first three chunks will have been written + * to the file. Even though H5Dclose() fails, all the + * resources will be released and the file can be closed + * properly.

    + * If, however, the filter fails on the second chunk, only + * the first chunk will be written to the file as nothing + * further can be written once the filter fails.

    + * Also see H5Pset_edc_check() and H5Pset_filter_callback(). + * + * \note When a non-empty filter pipeline is used with a group creation + * property list, the group will be created with the new group file + * format. The filters will come into play only when dense storage + * is used (see H5Pset_link_phase_change()) and will be applied to + * the group’s fractal heap. The fractal heap will contain most of + * the the group’s link metadata, including link names. + * + * \note When working with group creation property lists, if you are + * adding a filter that is not in HDF5’s set of predefined filters, + * i.e., a user-defined or third-party filter, you must first + * determine that the filter will work for a group.

Filters cannot currently be applied to + * these heaps. + * + * \note Filter Behavior in HDF5:
    + * Filters can be inserted into the HDF5 pipeline to perform + * functions such as compression and conversion. As such, they are + * a very flexible aspect of HDF5; for example, a user-defined + * filter could provide encryption for an HDF5 dataset. + * + * \note A filter can be declared as either required or optional. + * Required is the default status; optional status must be + * explicitly declared. + * + * \note A required filter that fails or is not defined causes an + * entire output operation to fail; if it was applied when the + * data was written, such a filter will cause an input operation + * to fail. + * + * \note The following table summarizes required filter behavior. + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + *

    + * \note An optional filter can be set for an HDF5 dataset even when + * the filter is not available. Such a filter can then be + * applied to the dataset when it becomes available on the + * original system or when the file containing the dataset is + * processed on a system on which it is available. + * + * \note A filter can be declared as optional through the use of the + * #H5Z_FLAG_OPTIONAL flag with H5Pset_filter(). + * + * \note Consider a situation where one is creating files that will + * normally be used only on systems where the optional (and + * fictional) filter FILTER_Z is routinely available.

The dataset object header will indicate that FILTER_Z + * has been associated with this dataset. But since system A does + * not have FILTER_Z, dataset chunks will be written without it + * being applied. + * + * \note HDF5 has a mechanism for determining whether chunks are + * actually written with the filters specified in the object + * header, so while the filter remains unavailable, system A will + * be able to read the data. Once the file is moved to system B, + * where FILTER_Z is available, HDF5 will apply FILTER_Z to any + * data rewritten or new data written in these datasets.

    #H5_SZIP_NN_OPTION_MASKSelects nearest neighbor coding method
    + * + * The following guidelines can be used in determining which + * option to select: + * + * - The entropy coding method, the EC option specified by + * #H5_SZIP_EC_OPTION_MASK, is best suited for data that has been + * processed. The EC method works best for small numbers. + * - The nearest neighbor coding method, the NN option specified + * by #H5_SZIP_NN_OPTION_MASK, preprocesses the data then the + * applies EC method as above. + * + * Other factors may affect results, but the above criteria + * provides a good starting point for optimizing data compression. + * + * SZIP compresses data block by block, with a user-tunable block + * size. This block size is passed in the parameter + * \p pixels_per_block and must be even and not greater than 32, + * with typical values being 8, 10, 16, or 32. This parameter + * affects compression ratio; the more pixel values vary, the + * smaller this number should be to achieve better performance. + * + * In HDF5, compression can be applied only to chunked datasets. + * If \p pixels_per_block is bigger than the total number of + * elements in a dataset chunk, H5Pset_szip() will succeed but + * the subsequent call to H5Dcreate() will fail; the conflict + * can be detected only when the property list is used. + * + * To achieve optimal performance for SZIP compression, it is + * recommended that a chunk's fastest-changing dimension be equal + * to N times \p pixels_per_block where N is the maximum number of + * blocks per scan line allowed by the SZIP library. In the + * current version of SZIP, N is set to 128. + * + * SZIP compression is an optional HDF5 filter. + * + * \b Limitations: + * + * - SZIP compression cannot be applied to compound, array, + * variable-length, enumeration, or any other user-defined + * datatypes. If an SZIP filter is set in a dataset creation + * property list used to create a dataset containing a + * non-allowed datatype, the call to H5Dcreate() will fail; the + * conflict can be detected only when the property list is used. + * - Users should be aware that there are factors that affect one’s + * rights and ability to use SZIP compression by reviewing the + * SZIP copyright notice. + * + * \note \b For \b Users \b Familiar \b with \b SZIP \b in \b Other \b Contexts: + * + * \note The following notes are of interest primarily to those who have + * used SZIP compression outside of the HDF5 context. + * In non-HDF5 applications, SZIP typically requires that the user + * application supply additional parameters: + * - \p pixels_in_object, the number of pixels in the object to + * be compressed + * - \p bits_per_pixel, the number of bits per pixel + * - \p pixels_per_scanline, the number of pixels per scan line + * + * \note These values need not be independently supplied in the HDF5 + * environment as they are derived from the datatype and dataspace, + * which are already known.

This original style remains the + * default, but two new group implementations were introduced in HDF5 Release 1.8.0: + * compact groups to accommodate zero to small numbers of members and indexed groups + * for thousands or tens of thousands of members ... or millions, if that's what + * your application requires.\n + * The local heap size hint, \p size_hint, is a performance tuning parameter for + * original-style groups. As indicated above, an HDF5 group may have zero, a handful, + * or tens of thousands of members. Since the original style of HDF5 groups stores the + * metadata for all of these group members in a uniform format in a local heap, the size + * of that metadata (and hence, the size of the local heap) can vary wildly from group + * to group.

An application can then use that + * callback to take an additional action before the default search + * of all committed datatypes in the destination file or to take an + * action that replaces the default search.

This + * is done to ensure that the filter will not be applied to groups if + * it relies on these parameters, as they are not applicable to group + * fractal heaps; to operate on group fractal heaps, a filter must be + * capable of operating on an opaque block of binary data. + * + * The \Emph{can apply} callback function must return a positive value + * for a valid combination, zero for an invalid combination, and a + * negative value for an error. + * \snippet this H5Z_can_apply_func_t_snip + * + * Before a dataset is created, the \Emph{can apply} callbacks for any + * filters used in the dataset creation property list are called with + * the dataset's dataset creation property list, \c dcpl_id, the + * dataset's datatype, \p type_id, and a dataspace describing a chunk, + * \p space_id, (for chunked dataset storage). + * + * This callback must determine whether the combination of the dataset + * creation property list settings, the datatype, and the dataspace + * represent a valid combination to which to apply this filter. For + * example, an invalid combination may involve the filter not + * operating correctly on certain datatypes, on certain datatype + * sizes, or on certain sizes of the chunk dataspace. If this filter + * is enabled through H5Pset_filter() as optional and the can apply + * function returns 0, the library will skip the filter in the filter + * pipeline. + * + * This callback can be the NULL pointer, in which case the library + * will assume that the filter can be applied to a dataset with any + * combination of dataset creation property list values, datatypes, + * and dataspaces. + * + * The \Emph{set local} callback function is defined as follows: + * \snippet this H5Z_set_local_func_t_snip + * + * After the can apply callbacks are checked for a new dataset, the + * \Emph{set local} callback functions for any filters used in the + * dataset creation property list are called.

For + * example, some filters perform different actions based on different + * datatypes, datatype sizes, numbers of dimensions, or dataspace + * sizes. + * + * The \Emph{set local} callback may be the NULL pointer, in which + * case, the library will assume that there are no dataset-specific + * settings for this filter. + * + * The \Emph{set local} callback function must return a non-negative + * value on success and a negative value for an error. + * + * The \Emph{filter operation} callback function, defining the + * filter's operation on the data, is defined as follows: + * \snippet this H5Z_func_t_snip + * + * The parameters \c flags, \c cd_nelmts, and \c cd_values are the + * same as for the function H5Pset_filter(). The one exception is that + * an additional flag, #H5Z_FLAG_REVERSE, is set when the filter is + * called as part of the input pipeline. + * + * The parameter \c buf points to the input buffer which has a size of + * \c buf_size bytes, \c nbytes of which are valid data. + * + * The filter should perform the transformation in place if possible. + * If the transformation cannot be done in place, then the filter + * should allocate a new buffer with malloc() and assign it to \c buf, + * assigning the allocated size of that buffer to \c buf_size. The old + * buffer should be freed by calling free(). + * + * If successful, the \Emph{filter operation} callback function + * returns the number of valid bytes of data contained in \c buf.
