<p>
HDF5 supports a filter pipeline that provides the capability for standard
and customized raw data processing during I/O operations.
HDF5 is distributed with a small set of standard filters such as
compression (gzip, SZIP, and a shuffling algorithm) and
error checking (Fletcher32 checksum).
For further flexibility, the library allows a
user application to extend the pipeline through the
creation and registration of customized filters.
<p>
The flexibility of the filter pipeline implementation enables the
definition of additional filters by a user application.
A filter
<ul>
<li>is associated with a dataset when the dataset is created,
<li>can be used only with chunked data
(i.e., datasets stored in the <code>H5D_CHUNKED</code>
storage layout), and
<li>is applied independently to each chunk of the dataset.
</ul>
<p>
The HDF5 library does not support filters for contiguous datasets
because of the difficulty of implementing random access for partial I/O.
Compact dataset filters are not supported because it would not produce
significant results.
<p>
Filter identifiers for the filters distributed with the HDF5 Library
are as follows:
<table align=center border=0>
<tr valign=top align=left>
<td>
<code>H5Z_FILTER_DEFLATE</code></td><td>The gzip compression,
or deflation, filter
</td></tr><tr><td>
<code>H5Z_FILTER_SZIP</code></td><td>The SZIP compression filter
</td></tr><tr><td>
<code>H5Z_FILTER_SHUFFLE</code></td><td>The shuffle algorithm filter
</td></tr><tr><td>
<code>H5Z_FILTER_FLETCHER32&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></td><td>The Fletcher32 checksum,
or error checking, filter
</td></tr>
</table>
Custom filters that have been registered with the library will have
additional unique identifiers.
<p>
See <a href="Datasets.html"><cite>The Dataset Interface (H5D)</cite></a>
in the <cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite> for further information regarding
data compression.

<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Retrieves information about a filter.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd>
<code>H5Zget_filter_info</code> retrieves information about a filter.
At present, this means that the function retrieves a
filter's configuration flags, indicating whether the filter is
configured to decode data, to encode data, neither, or both.
<p>
If <code>filter_config_flags</code> is not set to <small>NULL</small>
prior to the function call, the returned parameter contains a
bit field specifying the available filter configuration.
The configuration flag values can then be determined through
a series of bitwise <small>AND</small> operations, as described below.
<p>
Valid filter configuration flags include the following:
<table>
<tr><td><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></td>
<td><code>H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED</code></td>
<td>Encoding is enabled for this filter
</td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td>
<td><code>H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_DECODE_ENABLED</code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td>Decoding is enabled for this filter
</td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td>
<td colspan="2" align="right"><small>(These flags
are defined in the HDF5 Library source code file
<code>H5Zpublic.h</code>.)</small>
</td></tr>
</table>
A bitwise <small>AND</small> of the returned
<code>filter_config_flags</code> and a valid
filter configuration flag will reveal whether
the related configuration option is available.
For example, if the value of
<br>
<code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED
&amp;
filter_config_flags</code>
<br>
is true, i.e., greater than <code>0</code> (zero),
the queried filter is configured to encode data;
if the value is <code>FALSE</code>,
i.e., equal to <code>0</code> (zero),
the filter is not so configured.
<p>
If a filter is not encode-enabled, the corresponding
<code>H5Pset_*</code> function will return an error if the
filter is added to a dataset creation property list (which is
required if the filter is to be used to encode that dataset).
For example, if the <code>H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED</code>
flag is not returned for the SZIP filter,
<code>H5Z_FILTER_SZIP</code>, a call to <code>H5Pset_szip</code>
will fail.
<p>
If a filter is not decode-enabled, the application will not be
able to read an existing file encoded with that filter.
<p>
This function should be called, and the returned
<code>filter_config_flags</code> analyzed, before calling
any other function, such as <code>H5Pset_szip</code>,
that might require a particular filter configuration.

<dt><strong>Name:</strong> <a name="Compression-Register">H5Zregister</a>
<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
<dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Zregister</code>(<em>const H5Z_class_t</em> <code>filter_class</code>)
)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Registers new filter.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Zregister</code> registers a new filter with the
HDF5 library.
<p>
Making a new filter available to an application is a two-step
process. The first step is to write
the three filter callback functions described below:
<code>can_apply_func</code>, <code>set_local_func</code>, and
<code>filter_func</code>.
This call to <code>H5Zregister</code>,
<span class="termEmphasis">registering</span> the filter with the
library, is the second step.
The <code>can_apply_func</code> and <code>set_local_func</code>
fields can be set to <code>NULL</code>
if they are not required for the filter being registered.
<p>
<code>H5Zregister</code> accepts a single parameter,
the <code>filter_class</code> data structure,
which is defined as follows:
<pre>
&nbsp; typedef struct H5Z_class_t {
&nbsp; H5Z_filter_t filter_id;
&nbsp; const char *comment;
&nbsp; H5Z_can_apply_func_t can_apply_func;
&nbsp; H5Z_set_local_func_t set_local_func;
&nbsp; H5Z_func_t filter_func;
&nbsp; } H5Z_class_t;
</pre>
<p>
<code>filter_id</code> is the identifier for the new filter.
This is a user-defined value between
<code>H5Z_FILTER_RESERVED</code> and <code>H5Z_FILTER_MAX</code>,
both of which are defined in the HDF5 source file
<code>H5Zpublic.h</code>.
<p>
<code>comment</code> is used for debugging,
may contain a descriptive name for the filter,
and may be the null pointer.
<p>
<code>can_apply_func</code>, described in detail below,
is a user-defined callback function which determines whether
the combination of the dataset creation property list values,
the datatype, and the dataspace represent a valid combination
to apply this filter to.
<p>
<code>set_local_func</code>, described in detail below,
is a user-defined callback function which sets any parameters that
are specific to this dataset, based on the combination of the
dataset creation property list values, the datatype, and the
dataspace.
<p>
<code>filter_func</code>, described in detail below,
is a user-defined callback function which performs the action
of the filter.
<p>
The statistics associated with a filter are not reset
by this function; they accumulate over the life of the library.
<p>
<strong>The callback functions</strong>
<br>
Before <code>H5Zregister</code> can link a filter into an
application, three callback functions must be defined
as described in the HDF5 Library header file <code>H5Zpublic.h</code>.
<p>
<u>The <i>can apply</i> callback function</u> is defined as follows:<br>
<dir>
<em>typedef herr_t</em> (*<code>H5Z_can_apply_func_t</code>)
(<em>hid_t</em> <code>dcpl_id</code>,
<em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>,
<em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>)
</dir>
<p>
Before a dataset is created, the <i>can apply</i> callbacks for
any filters used in the dataset creation property list are called
with the dataset's dataset creation property list, <code>dcpl_id</code>,
the dataset's datatype, <code>type_id</code>, and
a dataspace describing a chunk, <code>space_id</code>,
(for chunked dataset storage).
<p>
This callback must determine whether the combination of the
dataset creation property list settings, the datatype, and the
dataspace represent a valid combination to which to apply this filter.
For example, an invalid combination may involve
the filter not operating correctly on certain datatypes,
on certain datatype sizes, or on certain sizes of the chunk dataspace.
<p>
This callback can be the <code>NULL</code> pointer, in which case
the library will assume that the filter can be applied to a dataset with
any combination of dataset creation property list values, datatypes,
and dataspaces.
<p>
The <i>can apply</i> callback function must return
a positive value for a valid combination,
zero for an invalid combination, and
a negative value for an error.
<p>
<u>The <i>set local</i> callback function</u> is defined as follows:<br>
<dir>
<em>typedef herr_t</em> (*<code>H5Z_set_local_func_t</code>)
(<em>hid_t</em> <code>dcpl_id</code>,
<em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>,
<em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>)
</dir>
<p>
After the <i>can apply</i> callbacks are checked for a new dataset,
the <i>set local</i> callback functions for any filters used in the
dataset creation property list are called.
These callbacks receive
<code>dcpl_id</code>, the dataset's private copy of the dataset
creation property list passed in to <code>H5Dcreate</code>
(i.e. not the actual property list passed in to <code>H5Dcreate</code>);
<code>type_id</code>, the datatype identifier passed in to
<code>H5Dcreate</code>,
which is not copied and should not be modified; and
<code>space_id</code>, a dataspace describing the chunk
(for chunked dataset storage), which should also not be modified.
<p>
The <i>set local</i> callback must set any filter parameters that are
specific to this dataset, based on the combination of the
dataset creation property list values, the datatype, and the dataspace.
For example, some filters perform different actions based on
different datatypes, datatype sizes, numbers of dimensions,
or dataspace sizes.
<p>
The <i>set local</i> callback may be the <code>NULL</code> pointer,
in which case, the library will assume that there are
no dataset-specific settings for this filter.
<p>
The <i>set local</i> callback function must return
a non-negative value on success and
a negative value for an error.
<p>
<u>The <i>filter operation</i> callback function</u>,
defining the filter's operation on the data, is defined as follows:
<dir>
<em>typedef size_t</em> (*<code>H5Z_func_t</code>)
(<em>unsigned int</em> <code>flags</code>,
<em>size_t</em> <code>cd_nelmts</code>,
<em>const unsigned int</em> <code>cd_values[]</code>,
<em>size_t</em> <code>nbytes</code>,
<em>size_t *</em><code>buf_size</code>,
<em>void **</em><code>buf</code>)
</dir>
<p>
The parameters <code>flags</code>, <code>cd_nelmts</code>,
and <code>cd_values</code> are the same as for the function
<a href="RM_H5P.html#Property-SetFilter"><code>H5Pset_filter</code></a>.
The one exception is that an additional flag,
<code>H5Z_FLAG_REVERSE</code>, is set when
the filter is called as part of the input pipeline.
<p>
The parameter <code>*buf</code> points to the input buffer
which has a size of <code>*buf_size</code> bytes,
<code>nbytes</code> of which are valid data.
<p>
The filter should perform the transformation in place if
possible. If the transformation cannot be done in place,
then the filter should allocate a new buffer with
<code>malloc()</code> and assign it to <code>*buf</code>,
assigning the allocated size of that buffer to
<code>*buf_size</code>.
The old buffer should be freed by calling <code>free()</code>.
<p>
If successful, the <i>filter operation</i> callback function
returns the number of valid bytes of data contained in <code>*buf</code>.
In the case of failure, the return value is <code>0</code> (zero)
and all pointer arguments are left unchanged.
<dt><strong>Note:</strong>
<dd>The <code>H5Zregister</code> interface is substantially revised
from the HDF5 Release 1.4.x series.
The <code>H5Z_class_t</code> struct and
the <i>set local</i> and <i>can apply</i> callback functions
first appeared in HDF5 Release 1.6.
