<strong>The FORTRAN90 Interfaces:</strong>

<br>
<font size=-1>
<i>In general, each FORTRAN90 subroutine performs exactly the same task 
as the corresponding C function.  The links below go to the C function 
descriptions, which serve as general descriptions for both.  A button, 
under <strong>Non-C API(s)</strong> at the end of the C function description,
opens an external browser window displaying the FORTRAN90-specific 
information.  You will probably want to adjust the size and location of 
this external window so that both browser windows are visible and to 
facilitate moving easily between them.</i>

  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_alignment</code> sets the alignment properties

        so that any file object greater than or equal in size to 
        <code>threshold</code> bytes will be aligned on an address 
        which is a multiple of <code>alignment</code>.  The addresses
        are relative to the end of the user block; the alignment is
        calculated by subtracting the user block size from the
        absolute file address and then adjusting the address to be a
        multiple of <code>alignment</code>.
        <p>
        Default values for <code>threshold</code> and 
        <code>alignment</code> are one, implying
        no alignment.  Generally the default values will result in
        the best performance for single-process access to the file.
        For MPI-IO and other parallel systems, choose an alignment
        which is a multiple of the disk block size.

                Must be non-negative.
                Note that setting the threshold value to 0 (zero) has 
                the effect of a special case, forcing everything 
                to be aligned.
        <dt><em>hsize_t</em> <code>alignment</code>
            <dd>IN: Alignment value.  
                Must be a positive value.

    <dd>If a fill value is set for a dataset (even if the 
        fill value is all zeros), the fill value will be written 
        to the file. If no fill value is set, then HDF5 relies on 
        the underlying file driver (usually a Unix file system) 
        to initialize unwritten parts of the file to zeros.
        <p>
        Creating a contiguous dataset with a fill value can be a
        very expensive operation since the optimization has not 
        yet been implemented that would delay the writing of the 
        fill values until after some data has been written.

        <em>const unsigned int</em> <code>cd_values[]</code>
    )
  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
    <dd>Adds a filter to the filter pipeline.
  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_filter</code> adds the specified 
        <code>filter</code> and corresponding properties to the 
        end of an output filter pipeline.
        If <code>plist</code> is a dataset creation property list, 
        the filter is added to the permanent filter pipeline; 
        if <code>plist</code> is a dataset transfer property list, 
        the filter is added to the transient filter pipeline.
        <p>
        The array <code>cd_values</code> contains
        <code>cd_nelmts</code> integers which are auxiliary data 
        for the filter.  The integer values will be stored in the 
        dataset object header as part of the filter information.
        <p>
        The <code>flags</code> argument is a  bit vector with 
        the following fields specifying certain general properties 
        of the filter:  
        <center>
        <table align=center width="80%">
          <tr valign=top>
            <td valign=top><code>H5Z_FLAG_OPTIONAL</code></td>
            <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
            <td valign=top>If this bit is set then the filter is 
              optional.  If the filter fails (see below) during an
              <code>H5Dwrite()</code> operation then the filter is
              just excluded from the pipeline for the chunk for which
              it failed; the filter will not participate in the
              pipeline during an <code>H5Dread()</code> of the chunk.
              This is commonly used for compression filters: if the
              compression result would be larger than the input then
              the compression filter returns failure and the
              uncompressed data is stored in the file.  If this bit is
              clear and a filter fails then <code>H5Dwrite()</code> 
              or <code>H5Dread()</code> also fails.</td>

        <p>

  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>

  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_meta_block_size</code> sets the 
        minimum size, in bytes, of metadata block allocations when 
        <code>H5FD_FEAT_AGGREGATE_METADATA</code> is set by a VFL driver.
        <p>
        Each <i>raw</i> metadata block is initially allocated to be of the 
        given size.  Specific metadata objects (e.g., object headers, 
        local heaps, B-trees) are then sub-allocated from this block.
        <p>
        The default setting is 2048 bytes, meaning that the library 
        will attempt to aggregate metadata in at least 2K blocks in the file.
        Setting the value to <code>0</code> (zero) with this function 
        will turn off metadata aggregation, even if the VFL driver attempts 
        to use the metadata aggregation strategy.               
        <p>
        Metadata aggregation reduces the number of small data objects 
        in the file that would otherwise be required for metadata.  
        The aggregated block of metadata is usually written in a 
        single write action and always in a contiguous block, 
        potentially significantly improving library and application 
        performance.

        <p>
        The data sieve buffer is used when performing I/O on datasets

        hyperslab selections boosts performance by quite a bit. 
        <p>
        The default value is set to 64KB, indicating that file I/O for 
        raw data reads and writes will occur in at least 64KB blocks.  
        Setting the value to 0 with this API function will turn off the

        garbage collecting references for the file.  
        <p>
        Dataset region references and other reference types use space 
        in an HDF5 file's global heap.  If garbage collection is on 
        and the user passes in an uninitialized value in a reference structure, 
        the heap might get corrupted.  When garbage collection is off, however,
        and the user re-uses a reference, the previous heap block will be 
        orphaned and not returned to the free heap space.  
        <p>
        When garbage collection is on, the user must initialize the 
        reference structures to 0 or risk heap corruption.
        <p>
        The default value for garbage collecting references is off.

  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_cache</code> sets 
        the number of elements (objects) in the meta data cache and 
        the number of elements, the total number of bytes, and 
        the preemption policy value in the raw data chunk cache.
        <p>
	The <em>plist_id</em> is a file access property list.  
        The number of elements (objects) in the meta data cache 
	and the raw data chunk cache are <em>mdc_nelmts</em> and 
	<em>rdcc_nelmts</em>, respectively.  
        The total size of the raw data chunk cache and the preemption policy 
        are <em>rdcc_nbytes</em> and <em>rdcc_w0</em>.  
        <p>
        Any (or all) of the <code>H5Pget_cache()</code> pointer arguments 
        may be null pointers.
        <p>
        The <em>rdcc_w0</em> value should be between 0 and 1 inclusive and
        indicates how much chunks that have been fully read are
        favored for preemption.  A value of zero means fully read
        chunks are treated no differently than other chunks (the
        preemption is strictly LRU) while a value of one means fully
        read chunks are always preempted before other chunks.

    <dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Pset_hyper_cache</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>plist</code>,
        <em>unsigned</em> <code>cache</code>,
        <em>unsigned</em> <code>limit</code>
    )
  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
    <dd>Indicates whether to cache hyperslab blocks during I/O.
  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd>Given a dataset transfer property list, <code>H5Pset_hyper_cache</code> 
        indicates whether to cache hyperslab blocks during I/O, 
        a process which can significantly increase I/O speeds.  
        <p>
        When working with hyperslab selections, it is possible to 
        significantly speed up I/O operations by retrieving an 
        entire hyperslab from the file in one operation and 
        caching it in memory.  
        The <code>cache</code> parameter specifies whether to turn 
        caching on for hyperslab I/O operations.
        If <code>cache</code> is set to <code>1</code>, 
        caching is turned on; 
        if set to <code>0</code>, caching is turned off.
        <p>
        The parameter <code>limit</code> sets the maximum size of the 
        hyperslab block to cache.  If a block is smaller than that limit, 
        it may still not be cached if no memory is available. 
        Setting <code>limit</code> to <code>0</code> (zero) indicates 
        no limitation on the size of block to attempt to cache.
        <p>
        The default is to cache blocks with no limit on block size 
        for serial I/O and to not cache blocks for parallel I/O.
  <dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
    <dl>
        <dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>plist</code>
            <dd>IN: Dataset transfer property list identifier.

            <dd>IN: Maximum size of the hyperslab block to cache. 
                <code>0</code> (zero) indicates no limit.

  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
    <dd>Sets type conversion and background buffers.
  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd> Given a dataset transfer property list, <code>H5Pset_buffer</code> 
         sets the maximum size
         for the type conversion buffer and background buffer and
         optionally supplies pointers to application-allocated buffers.
         If the buffer size is smaller than the entire amount of data
         being transferred between the application and the file, and a type
         conversion buffer or background buffer is required, then
         strip mining will be used.  
         <p>
         Note that there are minimum size requirements for the buffer.
         Strip mining can only break the data up along the first dimension,
         so the buffer must be large enough to accommodate a complete slice 
         that encompasses all of the remaining dimensions.  
         For example, when strip mining a 100x200x300 hyperslab 
         of a simple data space, the buffer must be large enough to 
         hold 1x200x300 data elements.  
         When strip mining a 100x200x300x150 hyperslab of a simple data space, 
         the buffer must be large enough to hold 1x200x300x150 data elements.  
         <p>
         If <code>tconv</code> and/or <code>bkg</code> are null pointers,
         then buffers will be allocated and freed during the data transfer.  
         <p>
         The default value for the maximum buffer is 1 Mb.

        <p>
        When reading or writing compound data types and the
        destination is partially initialized and the read/write is
        intended to initialize the other members, one must set this
        property to TRUE.  Otherwise the I/O pipeline treats the
        destination datapoints as completely uninitialized.
  <dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>

  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>

  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_compression</code> sets the compression method 
        in a dataset creation property list.  This is a catch-all 
        function for defining compression methods
	and is intended to be called from a wrapper such as
	<code>H5Pset_deflate()</code>. The dataset creation property
	list <em>plist</em> is adjusted to use the specified
	compression method.  The <em>flags</em> is an 8-bit vector
	which is stored in the file as part of the compression message
	and passed to the compress and uncompress functions.  The
	<em>client_data</em> is a byte array of length
	<em>cd_size</em> which is copied to the file and passed to the
	compress and uncompress methods.
        <p>
        The FLAGS, CD_SIZE, and CLIENT_DATA are copied to the
        property list and eventually to the file and passed to the
        compression functions.
        <p>
        See <a href="Datasets.html"><cite>The Dataset Interface (H5D)</cite></a> 
        in the <cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite> for further information 
        regarding data compression.

    )
  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>

        <code>H5Dread</code> and <code>H5Dvlen_reclaim</code>.
  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_vlen_mem_manager</code> sets the memory manager for 
        variable-length datatype allocation in <code>H5Dread</code> 
        and free in <code>H5Dvlen_reclaim</code>.
        <p>
        The <code>alloc</code> and <code>free</code> parameters 
        identify the memory management routines to be used.
        If the user has defined custom memory management routines,
        <code>alloc</code> and/or <code>free</code> should be set to make 
        those routine calls (i.e., the name of the routine is used as 
        the value of the parameter);  
        if the user prefers to use the system's <code> malloc</code>
        and/or <code>free</code>, the <code>alloc</code> and 
        <code>free</code> parameters, respectively, should be set to 
        <code> NULL</code>
        <p>
        The prototypes for these user-defined functions would appear as follows:
            <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            <em>typedef void</em> *(*<code>H5MM_allocate_t</code>)(<em>size_t</em> <code>size</code>, 
                <em>void</em> *<code>alloc_info</code>) ;
           
            <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
            <em>typedef void</em> (*<code>H5MM_free_t</code>)(<em>void</em> *<code>mem</code>, 
                <em>void</em> *<code>free_info</code>) ;
        <br>
        The <code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> parameters 
        can be used to pass along any required information to 
        the user's memory management routines.
        <p>
        In summary, if the user has defined custom memory management 
        routines, the name(s) of the routines are passed in the 
        <code>alloc</code> and <code>free</code> parameters and the 
        custom routines' parameters are passed in the 
        <code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> parameters.
        If the user wishes to use the system <code> malloc</code> and 
        <code>free</code> functions, the <code>alloc</code> and/or 
        <code>free</code> parameters are set to <code> NULL</code> 
        and the  <code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> 
        parameters are ignored.

    <dl>
        <dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>plist</code>

    )
  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
    <dd>Sets up use of the multi-file driver.
  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_fapl_multi</code> sets the file access property list 
        <code>fapl_id</code> to use the multi-file driver. 
        <p>
        The multi-file driver enables different types of HDF5 data and 
        metadata to be written to separate files.  These files are viewed 
        by the HDF5 library and the application as a single virtual HDF5 file
        with a single HDF5 file address space.
        The types of data that can be broken out into separate file include 
        raw data, the superblock, B-tree data, global heap data, 
        local heap data, and object headers.
        At the programmer's discretion, two or more types of data can be 
        written the same file while other types of data are written to 
        separate files.
        <p>
        The array <code>memb_map</code> maps memory usage types to other
        memory usage types and is the mechanism that allows the caller 
        to specify how many files are created. 
        The array contains <code>H5FD_MEM_NTYPES</code> entries, 
        which are either the value <code>H5FD_MEM_DEFAULT</code>
        or a memory usage type.
        The number of unique values determines the number of files 
        that are opened.  
        <p>
        The array <code>memb_fapl</code> contains a property list
        for each memory usage type that will be associated with a file. 
        <p>
        The array <code>memb_name</code> should be a name generator 
        (a printf-style format with a %s which will be replaced with the
        name passed to <code>H5FDopen()</code>, usually from 
        <code>H5Fcreate()</code> or <code>H5Fopen()</code>).
        <p>
        The array <code>memb_addr</code> specifies the offsets within the 
        virtual address space, from <code>0</code> (zero) to 
        <code>HADDR_MAX</code>, at wihch each type of data storage begins.
        <p>
        If <code>relax</code> is set to <code>TRUE</code> (or <code>1</code>),
        then opening an existing file for read-only access will not fail 
        if some file members are missing.  
        This allows a file to be accessed in a limited sense if just the
        meta data is available.
        <p>
        Default values for each of the optional arguments are as follows:
        <dir>
        <dl>
          <dt><code>memb_map</code>

          <dt><code>memb_fapl</code>

          <dt><code>memb_name</code>

    )
  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
    <dd>Stores user-supplied GASS information.
  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_fapl_gass</code> stores user-supplied GASS information,
        the <em>GASS_Info</em> struct data as passed in <code>info</code>, 
        to the file access property list <code>fapl_id</code>.
        <code>fapl_id</code> can then be used to create and/or open the file. 
        <p>
        The <em>GASS_Info</em> object, <code>info</code>, is used for 
        file open operations when using GASS in the Globus environment. 
        <p>
        Any modification to <code>info</code> after this function call 
        returns may have undetermined effect to the access property list.  
        Users must call <code>H5Pset_fapl_gass</code> again to setup 
        the property list.   
  <dt><strong>Note:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_fapl_gass</code> is an experimental function.
        It is designed for use only when accessing files via the 
        GASS facility of the Globus environment. 
        For further information, see 
        <a href="http://www.globus.org/">http//www.globus.org/</a>.

  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_fapl_dpss</code> modifies the file access property list
        <code>fapl_id</code> to use the DPSS I/O driver in a
        Globus evnvironment.
  <dt><strong>Note:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pget_fapl_dpss</code> is an experimental function.
        It is designed for use only when accessing files via the

        <p>
        As of HDF5 Release 1.4 Beta, the Globus project has deprecated 
        the DPSS facility in favor of an FTP-based facility that is still 
        under development.
        While the DPSS functionality is still available, 
        users must be aware that it was implemented purely for research purposes
        and may be unavailable in future Globus releases.

  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset_fapl_core</code> modifies the file access property list 
        to use the <code>H5FD_CORE</code> driver.  
        <p>
        The <code>H5FD_CORE</code> driver enables an application to work
        with a file in memory, speeding reads and writes as no disk access 
        is made.  File contents are stored only in memory until the file
        is closed.  The <code>backing_store</code> parameter determines 
        whether file contents are ever written to disk.
        <p>
        <code>increment</code> specifies the increment by which allocated 
        memory is to be increased each time more memory is required.
        <p>
        If <code>backing_store</code> is set to <code>1</code> 
        (<code>TRUE</code>), the file contents are flushed to a file 
        with the same name as this core file when the file is closed 
        or access to the file is terminated in memory.
  <dt><strong>Note:</strong>
    <dd>There is currently no means for reading a file from disk then
        using the <code>H5FD_CORE</code> driver to manipulate the file.
  <dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
    <dl>
        <dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>fapl_id</code>
            <dd>IN: File access property list identifier.
