HDFFV-7514 - GMQS: h5dump - improve effectiveness of testing scripts for handling expected output files
Description:
Fist phase for h5dump test update. Next phase will be for h5ls.
This is prerequisite for 'HDFFV-7602 Tools - upgrade tools' test scripts to share test files among tools, providing framework for test file re-usability.'
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), heiwa (linuxppc64-BE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE), Cmake (jam)
Usage is
-m T, --format=T
Where T - is a string containing the floating point format, e.g '%.3f'
The test consists of writing a number with 7 fractional digits (default precision display of %f is 6 digits) and have the 7 digits displayed with
-m %.7f fpformat.h5
Tested: windows, linux, solaris
Note: the output file was generated in linux, it may be possible that platforms other than the ones tested have a different representation of the number
