/************************************************************ 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. ************************************************************/ #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 = H5I_INVALID_HID; /* File Handle */ hid_t space = H5I_INVALID_HID; /* Dataspace Handle */ hid_t dset = H5I_INVALID_HID; /* Dataset Handle */ hid_t filetype = H5I_INVALID_HID; hid_t memtype = H5I_INVALID_HID; hid_t attr = H5I_INVALID_HID; /* Attribute Handle */ /* Handles */ herr_t status; hsize_t dims[1] = {DIM0}; hsize_t adims[2] = {ADIM0, ADIM1}; int wdata[DIM0][ADIM0][ADIM1]; /* Write buffer */ int ***rdata = NULL; /* Read buffer */ int ndims; hsize_t 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); memtype = H5Tarray_create(H5T_NATIVE_INT, 2, adims); /* * Create dataset with a null dataspace. */ space = H5Screate(H5S_NULL); dset = H5Dcreate(file, DATASET, H5T_STD_I32LE, space, H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT); status = H5Sclose(space); /* * Create dataspace.
