Jonathan Kim 985a261886 [svn-r18165] Purpose:
Add test cases for h5diff check-in (svn revision #18164).

Description:
    This test cases are for testing comparing through various link combinations
    relate to bugzilla report 1754.
    Also improved the test script to handle external link cases and
    simplified to use single line instead of double for each test cases.

<-n u> is not a valid option
usage: h5diff [OPTIONS] file1 file2 [obj1[obj2]]
file1 File name of the first HDF5 file
file2 File name of the second HDF5 file
[obj1] Name of an HDF5 object, in absolute path
[obj2] Name of an HDF5 object, in absolute path
OPTIONS
-h, --help Print a usage message and exit
-V, --version Print version number and exit
-r, --report Report mode. Print differences
-v, --verbose Verbose mode. Print differences, list of objects
-q, --quiet Quiet mode. Do not do output
-l, --link-follow Follow link(s)
-c, --compare List objects that are not comparable
-N, --nan Avoid NaNs detection
-n C, --count=C Print differences up to C number, C is a positive integer.
-d D, --delta=D Print difference if (|a-b| > D), D is a positive number.
-p R, --relative=R Print difference if (|(a-b)/b| > R), R is a positive number.
--use-system-epsilon Print difference if (|a-b| > EPSILON),
where EPSILON (FLT_EPSILON or FLT_EPSILON) is the system epsilon value.
If the system epsilon is not defined, use the value below:
FLT_EPSILON = 1.19209E-07 for float
DBL_EPSILON = 2.22045E-16 for double
-d, -p, and --use-system-epsilon options are used for comparing floating point values.
By default, strict equality is used. Use -p or -d to set specific tolerance.
Modes of output:
Default mode: print the number of differences found and where they occured
-r Report mode: print the above plus the differences
-v Verbose mode: print the above plus a list of objects and warnings
-q Quiet mode: do not print output
Compare criteria
If no objects [obj1[obj2]] are specified, h5diff only compares objects
with the same absolute path in both files
The compare criteria is:
1) datasets: numerical array differences 2) groups: name string difference
3) datatypes: the return value of H5Tequal 4) links: name string difference
of the linked value
Return exit code:
1 if differences found, 0 if no differences, 2 if error
Examples of use:
1) h5diff file1 file2 /g1/dset1 /g1/dset2
Compares object '/g1/dset1' in file1 with '/g1/dset2' in file2
2) h5diff file1 file2 /g1/dset1
Compares object '/g1/dset1' in both files
3) h5diff file1 file2
Compares all objects in both files
Note) file1 and file2 can be the same file. Use
h5diff file1 file1 /g1/dset1 /g1/dset2
to compare '/g1/dset1' and '/g1/dset2' in the same file
