HDFFV-7607: h5ls - improve efficiency of test scripts - removing top 3 extra lines from expected output files
Description:
This is a subtask from 'HDFFV-7514 - gmqs: h5dump - improve effectiveness of testing scripts for handling expected output files'.
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), tejeda (mac32-LE), linew (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE), Cmake (jam)
Add --no-dangling-links option to h5ls.
Description:
Related to "Bug 1830 - Following an dangling external link in h5ls should set non-zero return code."
If --no-dangling-links option is specified and any dangling link is found, return exit code 1 (error).
Tested:
jam, amani and heiwa
Support follow symbolic links.
Description:
Add '--follow-symlinks' option to follow symbolic links (soft and external).
Update help page according to RM.
Remove some warning messages from compiler.
Tested:
jam, amani and linew
Description: Added -E option to h5ls. When set, this alows h5ls to enter
external files (currently only through an external link). The -r option by
itself will no longer allow h5ls to traverse external links.
Tested: kagiso, linew, smirom (h5committest)
Description: Adds capability to h5ls to traverse external links when the -r
(recursive) option is given. Changes to the way absolute path names are patched
in h5trav.c. Changes to the way recursive traversal starting from a non-root
group is handled (which also fixes some preexisting issues). Tests added for
these cases.
Tested: kagiso, smirom, linew (h5committest)
