Added source files for the Stream Virtual File Driver.
Description:
The Stream VFD allows users to stream complete HDF5 files
via socket connections between different applications.
Files which were created anew are flushed to any connected client
on each H5Fflush() or H5Fclose() operation.
Files which are opened as read-only will be read from a socket
on a H5Fopen() call.
The driver's H5FDset_fapl_stream() routine allows to pass in
several parameters such as an external socket descriptor,
some socket options, and flags for broadcasting a received file.
If an external socket is provided the Stream VFD would use that
for the socket calls. Otherwise it parses the filename argument
in H5Fcreate()/H5Fopen() for a 'hostname::port' parameter.
All files processed by the Stream VFD are kept in memory
(same way as the core VFD does).
Platforms:
Tested so far under Linux, Irix 32/64bit, OSF1, Solaris, Cray Unicos,
Hitachi SR8000, IBM AIX.
Not tested under Windows yet.
This is hdf5-1.3.30 currently under development
Please refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE 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.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory. Start with the
"index.html" in that dictectory.
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.
