OPTIONS
|
2010-02-17 03:43:05 +08:00
|
|
|
-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
|
2009-01-14 00:33:31 +08:00
|
|
|
-N, --nan Avoid NaNs detection
|
2010-02-17 03:43:05 +08:00
|
|
|
-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.
|
2009-09-12 04:09:34 +08:00
|
|
|
--use-system-epsilon Print difference if (|a-b| > EPSILON),
|
2010-02-17 03:43:05 +08:00
|
|
|
where EPSILON (FLT_EPSILON or FLT_EPSILON) is the
|
|
|
|
system epsilon value.
|
|
|
|
If the system epsilon is not defined, use the value
|
|
|
|
below:
|
2009-09-12 04:09:34 +08:00
|
|
|
FLT_EPSILON = 1.19209E-07 for float
|
|
|
|
DBL_EPSILON = 2.22045E-16 for double
|
2010-02-17 03:43:05 +08:00
|
|
|
-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
|
2010-02-17 03:43:05 +08:00
|
|
|
If no objects [obj1[obj2]] are specified, h5diff only compares objects
|
|
|
|
with the same absolute path in both files
|
2008-08-05 05:13:16 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The compare criteria is:
|
2010-02-17 03:43:05 +08:00
|
|
|
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).
