#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. See the * discussion of the set local and can apply callback functions * in H5Zregister(). * * \note If multiple filters are set for a property list, they will be * applied to each chunk of raw data for datasets or each block * of the fractal heap for groups in the order in which they were * set. * * \note Filters can be applied only to chunked datasets; they cannot be * used with other dataset storage methods, such as contiguous, * compact, or external datasets. * * \note Dataset elements of variable-length and dataset region * reference datatypes are stored in separate structures in the * file called heaps.

* 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. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

One can * create those files on system A, which lacks FILTER_Z, create * chunked datasets in the files with FILTER_Z defined in the * dataset creation property list, and even write data to those * datasets. 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.

Since only the D-scaling * method is implemented, \p scale_type should be set to * #H5Z_SO_FLOAT_DSCALE or 0. * * When the D-scaling method is used, the original data is "D" scaled * — multiplied by 10 to the power of \p scale_factor, and the * "significant" part of the value is moved to the left of the decimal * point.

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. In particular, HDF5 sets * \p pixels_in_object to the number of elements in a chunk and * \p bits_per_pixel to the size of the element or pixel datatype. * * \note The following algorithm is used to set \p pixels_per_scanline: * - If the size of a chunk's fastest-changing dimension, size, * is greater than 4K, set \p pixels_per_scanline to 128 times * \p pixels_per_block. * - If size is less than 4K but greater than \p pixels_per_block, * set \p pixels_per_scanline to the minimum of size and 128 * times \p pixels_per_block. * - If size is less than \p pixels_per_block but greater than the * number elements in the chunk, set \p pixels_per_scanline to * the minimum of the number elements in the chunk and 128 times * \p pixels_per_block. * * \note The HDF5 datatype may have precision that is less than the full * size of the data element, e.g., an 11-bit integer can be defined * using H5Tset_precision(). To a certain extent, SZIP can take * advantage of the precision of the datatype to improve compression: * - If the HDF5 datatype size is 24-bit or less and the offset of * the bits in the HDF5 datatype is zero (see H5Tset_offset() or * H5Tget_offset()), the data is the in lowest N bits of the data * element. In this case, the SZIP \p bits_per_pixel is set to the * precision of the HDF5 datatype. * - If the offset is not zero, the SZIP \p bits_per_pixel will be * set to the number of bits in the full size of the data element. * - If the HDF5 datatype precision is 25-bit to 32-bit, the SZIP * \p bits_per_pixel will be set to 32. * - If the HDF5 datatype precision is 33-bit to 64-bit, the SZIP * \p bits_per_pixel will be set to 64. * * \note HDF5 always modifies the options mask provided by the user to set up * usage of RAW_OPTION_MASK, ALLOW_K13_OPTION_MASK, and one of * LSB_OPTION_MASK or MSB_OPTION_MASK, depending on endianness of the * datatype. * * \since 1.6.0 * */ H5_DLL herr_t H5Pset_szip(hid_t plist_id, unsigned options_mask, unsigned pixels_per_block); /** * \ingroup DCPL * * \brief Sets the mapping between virtual and source datasets * * \dcpl_id * \param[in] vspace_id The dataspace identifier with the selection within the * virtual dataset applied, possibly an unlimited selection * \param[in] src_file_name The name of the HDF5 file where the source dataset is * located or a \Code{"."} (period) for a source dataset in the same * file.

* If the printf form is used for the source file or dataset names, the * selection in the source dataset’s dataspace must be fixed-size. * * \par Source File Resolutions: * When a source dataset residing in a different file is accessed, the * library will search for the source file \p src_file_name as described * below: * \li If \p src_file_name is a \Code{"."} (period) then it refers to the * file containing the virtual dataset. * \li If \p src_file_name is a relative pathname, the following steps are * performed: * - The library will get the prefix(es) set in the environment * variable \c HDF5_VDS_PREFIX and will try to prepend each prefix * to \p src_file_name to form a new \p src_file_name. If the new * \p src_file_name does not exist or if \c HDF5_VDS_PREFIX is not * set, the library will get the prefix set via H5Pset_virtual_prefix() * and prepend it to \p src_file_name to form a new \p src_file_name. * If the new \p src_file_name does not exist or no prefix is being * set by H5Pset_virtual_prefix() then the path of the file containing * the virtual dataset is obtained. This path can be the absolute path * or the current working directory plus the relative path of that * file when it is created/opened. The library will prepend this path * to \p src_file_name to form a new \p src_file_name. * - If the new \p src_file_name does not exist, then the library will * look for \p src_file_name and will return failure/success accordingly. * \li If \p src_file_name is an absolute pathname, the library will first * try to find \p src_file_name. If \p src_file_name does not exist, * \p src_file_name is stripped of directory paths to form a new * \p src_file_name. The search for the new \p src_file_name then follows * the same steps as described above for a relative pathname.

This is HDF5’s default * behavior. If backward compatibility with pre-1.8.0 libraries is not a concern, * greater efficiencies can be obtained with the new-format compact and indexed * groups. See Group * implementations in HDF5 in the \ref H5G API introduction (at the bottom).\n * H5Pset_local_heap_size_hint() is useful for tuning file size when files * contain original-style groups with either zero members or very large * numbers of members.\n * The original style of HDF5 groups, the only style available prior to HDF5 * Release 1.8.0, was well-suited for moderate-sized groups but was not optimized * for either very small or very large groups. 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. To intelligently allocate space and to avoid unnecessary fragmentation of * the local heap, it can be valuable to provide the library with a hint as to the local * heap’s likely eventual size. This can be particularly valuable when it is known that * a group will eventually have a great many members. It can also be useful in conserving * space in a file when it is known that certain groups will never have any members. * * \since 1.8.0 * */ H5_DLL herr_t H5Pset_local_heap_size_hint(hid_t plist_id, size_t size_hint); /* Map access property list (MAPL) routines */ #ifdef H5_HAVE_MAP_API /** * \ingroup MAPL * * \brief Set map iteration hints * * \mapl_id * \param[in] key_prefetch_size Number of keys to prefetch at a time during * iteration * \param[in] key_alloc_size The initial size of the buffer allocated to hold * prefetched keys * \return \herr_t * * \details H5Pset_map_iterate_hints() adjusts the behavior of H5Miterate() when * prefetching keys for iteration.

The search as described in the next paragraph is * effective only if the #H5O_COPY_MERGE_COMMITTED_DTYPE_FLAG is * enabled in the object copy property list via * H5Pset_copy_object(). * * When copying a committed datatype, a dataset with a committed * datatype, or an object with an attribute of a committed * datatype, the default behavior of H5Ocopy() is to search for * a matching committed datatype: *
    *
  1. First search the list of suggested paths in the object * copy property list.
  2. *
  3. Then, if no match has been found, search all the committed * datatypes in the destination file. *
* The default Step 2 in this search process can be changed by * setting a callback function (see H5Pset_mcdt_search_cb()). * * Two datatypes are determined equal if their descriptions are * identical, in a manner similar to H5Tequal(). If either * committed datatype has one or more attributes, then all * attributes must be present in both committed datatypes and they * must be identical. Two attributes are considered identical if * their datatype description, dataspace, and raw data values are * the same. However, if an attribute uses a committed datatype, * that committed datatype’s attributes will not be compared. * * If a match is found, H5Ocopy() will perform the following in * the destination file: * \li For a committed datatype, the library will create a hard * link to the found datatype. * \li For a dataset that uses a committed datatype, the library * will modify the copied dataset to use the found committed * datatype as its datatype. * \li For an object with an attribute of a committed datatype, * the library will modify the copied object’s attribute to * use the found committed datatype as its datatype. * * If no match is found, H5Ocopy() will perform the following in * the destination file: * \li For a committed datatype, the library will copy it as it * would any other object, creating a named committed * datatype at the destination. That is, the library will * create a committed datatype that is accessible in the * file by a unique path. * \li For a dataset that uses a committed datatype, the * library will copy the datatype as an anonymous * committed datatype and use that as the dataset’s * datatype. * \li For an object with an attribute of a committed datatype, * the library will copy the datatype as an anonymous * committed datatype and use that as the attribute’s * datatype. * * \b Motivation: H5Padd_merge_committed_dtype_path() provides a * means to override the default behavior of H5Ocopy() when * #H5O_COPY_MERGE_COMMITTED_DTYPE_FLAG is set in an object * copy property list. * H5Padd_merge_committed_dtype_path() is the mechanism for * suggesting search paths where H5Ocopy() will look for a * matching committed datatype. This can be substantially * faster than the default approach of searching the entire * destination file for a match. * * \b Example \b Usage: This example adds two paths to the object * copy property list.
