<-d -4> is not a valid option usage: h5diff [OPTIONS] file1 file2 [obj1[obj2]] file1 File name of the first HDF5 file file2 File name of the second HDF5 file [obj1] Name of an HDF5 object, in absolute path [obj2] Name of an HDF5 object, in absolute path OPTIONS -h, --help Print a usage message and exit. -V, --version Print version number and exit. -r, --report Report mode. Print differences. -v, --verbose Verbose mode. Print differences, list of objects. -q, --quiet Quiet mode. Do not produce output. --follow-links Follow symbolic links (soft links and external links) and compare the links' target objects. If symbolic link(s) with the same name exist in the files being compared, then determine whether the target of each link is an existing object (dataset, group, or named datatype) or the link is a dangling link (a soft or external link pointing to a target object that does not yet exist). - If both symbolic links are dangling links, they are treated as being the same; by default, h5diff returns an exit code of 0. If, however, --no-dangling-links is used with --follow-links, this situation is treated as an error and h5diff returns an exit code of 2. - If only one of the two links is a dangling link, they are treated as being different and h5diff returns an exit code of 1. If, however, --no-dangling-links is used with --follow-links, this situation is treated as an error and h5diff returns an exit code of 2. - If both symbolic links point to existing objects, h5diff compares the two objects. If any symbolic link specified in the call to h5diff does not exist, h5diff treats it as an error and returns an exit code of 2. --no-dangling-links Must be used with --follow-links option; otherwise, h5diff shows error message and returns an exit code of 2. Check for any symbolic links (soft links or external links) that do not resolve to an existing object (dataset, group, or named datatype). If any dangling link is found, this situation is treated as an error and h5diff returns an exit code of 2. -c, --compare List objects that are not comparable -N, --nan Avoid NaNs detection -n C, --count=C Print differences up to C number, C is a positive integer. -d D, --delta=D Print difference if (|a-b| > D), D is a positive number. -p R, --relative=R Print difference if (|(a-b)/b| > R), R is a positive number. --use-system-epsilon Print difference if (|a-b| > EPSILON), where EPSILON (FLT_EPSILON or FLT_EPSILON) is the system epsilon value. If the system epsilon is not defined, use the value below: FLT_EPSILON = 1.19209E-07 for float DBL_EPSILON = 2.22045E-16 for double -d, -p, and --use-system-epsilon options are used for comparing floating point values. By default, strict equality is used. Use -p or -d to set specific tolerance. Modes of output: Default mode: print the number of differences found and where they occured -r Report mode: print the above plus the differences -v Verbose mode: print the above plus a list of objects and warnings -q Quiet mode: do not print output Compare criteria If no objects [obj1[obj2]] are specified, h5diff only compares objects with the same absolute path in both files The compare criteria is: 1) datasets: numerical array differences 2) groups: name string difference 3) datatypes: the return value of H5Tequal 4) links: name string difference of the linked value as default (refer to --follow-links option). Exit code: 0 if no differences, 1 if differences found, 2 if error Examples of use: 1) h5diff file1 file2 /g1/dset1 /g1/dset2 Compares object '/g1/dset1' in file1 with '/g1/dset2' in file2 2) h5diff file1 file2 /g1/dset1 Compares object '/g1/dset1' in both files 3) h5diff file1 file2 Compares all objects in both files Notes: file1 and file2 can be the same file. Use h5diff file1 file1 /g1/dset1 /g1/dset2 to compare '/g1/dset1' and '/g1/dset2' in the same file EXIT CODE: 1
