HDF5 Glossary

+ + +A glossary of data-types used in the HDF5 APIs. + +

Basic Types +
Complex Types +
Disk I/O Types +

+ +

Since many of the typedefs in the HDF5 API are not well-defined yet, +the types below may change radically en route to a final API... + +

+ +Basic Types: +

char - 8-bit character (only for ASCII information) +
int8 - 8-bit signed integer +
uint8 - 8-bit unsigned integer +
int16 - 16-bit signed integer +
uint16 - 16-bit unsigned integer +
int32 - 32-bit signed integer +
uint32 - 32-bit unsigned integer +
intn - "native" signed integer +
uintn - "native" unsigned integer +
int64 - 64-bit signed integer (new) +
uint64 - 64-bit unsigned integer (new) +
float32 - 32-bit IEEE float +
float64 - 64-bit IEEE float +

+ +Complex Types: +

hid_t - 32-bit unsigned integer used as ID for memory objects +
hoid_t - 32-bit unsigned integer (currently) used as ID for disk-based + objects +
hbool_t - boolean to indicate true/false/error codes from functions +
herr_t - 32-bit integer to indicate succeed/fail codes from functions +

+ +Disk I/O Types: +

hoff_t - (64-bit?) offset on disk in bytes +
hlen_t - (64-bit?) length on disk in bytes +
