Added Packet Table to high-level APIs
Description:
The Packet Table is an API that allows the user to append records
("packets") to a table, and read the back again. It supports
fixed-length records with a defined datatype and variable-length
records. It also supports a "current record" index to track the
user's position in the table.
Solution:
The Packet Table code lives in hl/src, and its tests in hl/test.
Some code is shared between the H5TB table and the H5PT Packet Table
in the form of functions in H5HL_private.c.
Some documentation exists for a previous version of the API. Updated
documentation and C++ wrapper API coming soon.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, eirene, copper, modi4
HDF5 version 1.7.46 currently under development
Please refer to the release_docs/INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE.txt file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library. The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library. The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library. The INSTALL* files can be found in the release_docs/ directory.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory. Start with the
"index.html" in that directory.
Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.
hdf5 - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
other users.
hdf5dev - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
with developers and other interested parties.
hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
not a discussion list.
hdf5cvs - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
not a discussion list.
To subscribe to a list, send mail to "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5
Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".
Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.
The HDF5 website is located at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/
Bugs should be reported to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
