Subsetting is done by selecting a hyperslab from the data. Thus, the options mirror those for performing a hyperslab selection. The START and COUNT parameters are mandatory if you do subsetting. The STRIDE and BLOCK parameters are optional and will default to 1 in each dimension. -s L, --start=L Offset of start of subsetting selection -S L, --stride=L Hyperslab stride -c L, --count=L Number of blocks to include in selection -k L, --block=L Size of block in hyperslab D - is the file driver to use in opening the file. Acceptable values are "sec2", "family", "split", "multi", and "stream". Without the file driver flag, the file will be opened with each driver in turn and in the order specified above until one driver succeeds in opening the file. F - is a filename. P - is the full path from the root group to the object. N - is an integer greater than 1. L - is a list of integers the number of which are equal to the number of dimensions in the dataspace being queried U - is a URI reference (as defined in [IETF RFC 2396], updated by [IETF RFC 2732]) Examples: 1) Attribute foo of the group /bar_none in file quux.h5 h5dump -a /bar_none/foo quux.h5 2) Selecting a subset from dataset /foo in file quux.h5 h5dump -d /foo -s "0,1" -S "1,1" -c "2,3" -k "2,2" quux.h5 h5dump error: missing file name
