<h1>HDF5 Glossary</h1>
</center>
A glossary of data-types used in the HDF5 APIs.
<ol type=A>
<li><a href="#Glossary-Basic">Basic Types</a>
<li><a href="#Glossary-Complex">Complex Types</a>
<li><a href="#Glossary-DiskIO">Disk I/O Types</a>
</ol>
<P>Since many of the typedefs in the HDF5 API are not well-defined yet,
the types below may change radically en route to a final API...
<hr>
<a name="Glossary-Basic">Basic Types:</a>
<ul>
<li>char - 8-bit character (only for ASCII information)
<li>int8 - 8-bit signed integer
<li>uint8 - 8-bit unsigned integer
<li>int16 - 16-bit signed integer
<li>uint16 - 16-bit unsigned integer
<li>int32 - 32-bit signed integer
<li>uint32 - 32-bit unsigned integer
<li>intn - "native" signed integer
<li>uintn - "native" unsigned integer
<li>int64 - 64-bit signed integer (new)
<li>uint64 - 64-bit unsigned integer (new)
<li>float32 - 32-bit IEEE float
<li>float64 - 64-bit IEEE float
</ul>
<a name="Glossary-Complex">Complex Types:</a>
<ul>
<li>hid_t - 32-bit unsigned integer used as ID for memory objects
<li>hoid_t - 32-bit unsigned integer (currently) used as ID for disk-based
objects
<li>hbool_t - boolean to indicate true/false/error codes from functions
<li>herr_t - 32-bit integer to indicate succeed/fail codes from functions
</ul>
<a name="Glossary-DiskIO">Disk I/O Types:</a>
<ul>
<li>hoff_t - (64-bit?) offset on disk in bytes
<li>hlen_t - (64-bit?) length on disk in bytes
</ul>
