/************************************************************ This example shows how to read and write array datatypes to an attribute. The program first writes integers arrays of dimension ADIM0xADIM1 to an attribute with a dataspace of DIM0, then closes the file. Next, it reopens the file, reads back the data, and outputs it to the screen. This file is intended for use with HDF5 Library version 1.6 ************************************************************/ #include "hdf5.h" #include #include #define FILE "h5ex_t_arrayatt.h5" #define DATASET "DS1" #define ATTRIBUTE "A1" #define DIM0 4 #define ADIM0 3 #define ADIM1 5 int main(void) { hid_t file, filetype, memtype, space, dset, attr; /* Handles */ herr_t status; hsize_t dims[1] = {DIM0}, adims[2] = {ADIM0, ADIM1}; int wdata[DIM0][ADIM0][ADIM1], /* Write buffer */ ***rdata, /* Read buffer */ ndims, i, j, k; /* * Initialize data. i is the element in the dataspace, j and k the * elements within the array datatype. */ for (i = 0; i < DIM0; i++) for (j = 0; j < ADIM0; j++) for (k = 0; k < ADIM1; k++) wdata[i][j][k] = i * j - j * k + i * k; /* * Create a new file using the default properties. */ file = H5Fcreate(FILE, H5F_ACC_TRUNC, H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT); /* * Create array datatypes for file and memory. */ filetype = H5Tarray_create(H5T_STD_I64LE, 2, adims, NULL); memtype = H5Tarray_create(H5T_NATIVE_INT, 2, adims, NULL); /* * Create dataset with a scalar dataspace. */ space = H5Screate(H5S_SCALAR); dset = H5Dcreate(file, DATASET, H5T_STD_I32LE, space, H5P_DEFAULT); status = H5Sclose(space); /* * Create dataspace.
