<strong>The FORTRAN90 Interfaces:</strong>
<br>
<font size=-1>
<i>In general, each FORTRAN90 subroutine performs exactly the same task
as the corresponding C function. The links below go to the C function
descriptions, which serve as general descriptions for both. A button,
under <strong>Non-C API(s)</strong> at the end of the C function description,
opens an external browser window displaying the FORTRAN90-specific
information. You will probably want to adjust the size and location of
this external window so that both browser windows are visible and to
facilitate moving easily between them.</i>

<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Returns information about an external file.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Pget_external</code> returns information about an external
file. The external file is specified by its index, <code>idx</code>,
which is a number from zero to N-1, where N is the value
returned by <code>H5Pget_external_count()</code>.
At most <code>name_size</code> characters are copied into the

<dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Pset_fill_value</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>plist_id</code>,
<em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>,
<em>const void *</em><code>value</code>
)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Sets a dataset fill value.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Pset_fill_value</code> sets the fill value for a
dataset creation property list.
<p>
The <code>value</code> is interpreted as being of type
<code>type_id</code>. This need not be the same type
as the dataset, but the library must be able to convert
<code>value</code> to the dataset type when the dataset
is created.
<dt><strong>Notes:</strong>
<dd>If a fill value is set for a dataset (even if the
fill value is all zeros), the fill value will be written
to the file. If no fill value is set, then HDF5 relies on
the underlying file driver (usually a Unix file system)
to initialize unwritten parts of the file to zeros.
<p>
Creating a contiguous dataset with a fill value can be a
very expensive operation since the optimization has not
yet been implemented that would delay the writing of the
fill values until after some data has been written.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<dl>
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>plist_id</code>
<dd>IN: Property list identifier.
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>,

<em>const unsigned int</em> <code>cd_values[]</code>
)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Adds a filter to the filter pipeline.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Pset_filter</code> adds the specified
<code>filter</code> and corresponding properties to the
end of an output filter pipeline.
If <code>plist</code> is a dataset creation property list,
the filter is added to the permanent filter pipeline;
if <code>plist</code> is a dataset transfer property list,
the filter is added to the transient filter pipeline.
<p>
The array <code>cd_values</code> contains
<code>cd_nelmts</code> integers which are auxiliary data
for the filter. The integer values will be stored in the
dataset object header as part of the filter information.
<p>
The <code>flags</code> argument is a bit vector with
the following fields specifying certain general properties
of the filter:
<center>
<table align=center width="80%">
<tr valign=top>
<td valign=top><code>H5Z_FLAG_OPTIONAL</code></td>
<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td valign=top>If this bit is set then the filter is
optional. If the filter fails (see below) during an
<code>H5Dwrite()</code> operation then the filter is
just excluded from the pipeline for the chunk for which
it failed; the filter will not participate in the
pipeline during an <code>H5Dread()</code> of the chunk.
This is commonly used for compression filters: if the
compression result would be larger than the input then
the compression filter returns failure and the
uncompressed data is stored in the file. If this bit is
clear and a filter fails then <code>H5Dwrite()</code>
or <code>H5Dread()</code> also fails.</td>

The function will return a negative value if the filter number
is out of range.
<p>
If <code>name</code> is a pointer to an array of at least
<code>namelen</code> bytes, the filter name will be copied
into that array. The name will be null terminated if
<code>namelen</code> is large enough. The filter name returned
will be the name appearing in the file, the name registered

<dd>Sets garbage collecting references flag.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Pset_gc_references</code> sets the flag for
garbage collecting references for the file.
<p>
Dataset region references and other reference types use space
in an HDF5 file's global heap. If garbage collection is on
and the user passes in an uninitialized value in a reference structure,
the heap might get corrupted. When garbage collection is off, however,
and the user re-uses a reference, the previous heap block will be
orphaned and not returned to the free heap space.
<p>
When garbage collection is on, the user must initialize the
reference structures to 0 or risk heap corruption.
<p>
The default value for garbage collecting references is off.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<dl>
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>plist</code>
<dd>IN: File access property list identifier.
<dt><em>unsigned</em> <code>gc_ref</code>

<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Sets the file access properties list to the family driver.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Pset_family</code> sets the file access properties

driver properties are erased from the property list.
See <a href="Files.html#File_Families">File Families</a>
in the <cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite> for a discussion
of file families.
<p>
Each member of the file family will use <code>memb_plist</code>
as its file access property list.
<p>
The <code>memb_size</code> argument gives the logical size
in bytes of each family member; the actual size could be
smaller depending on whether the file contains holes.
The member size is only used when creating a new file or
truncating an existing file; otherwise the member size comes
from the size of the first member of the family being
opened.
<p>
Note: If the size of the <code>off_t</code> type is
four bytes, then the maximum family member size is usually
2^31-1 because the byte at offset 2,147,483,647 is generally
inaccessible.
<p>
Additional parameters may be added to this function in the
future.

<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Indicates whether to cache hyperslab blocks during I/O.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd>Given a dataset transfer property list, <code>H5Pset_hyper_cache</code>
indicates whether to cache hyperslab blocks during I/O,
a process which can significantly increase I/O speeds.
<p>
When working with hyperslab selections, it is possible to
significantly speed up I/O operations by retrieving an
entire hyperslab from the file in one operation and
caching it in memory.
The <code>cache</code> parameter specifies whether to turn
caching on for hyperslab I/O operations.
If <code>cache</code> is set to <code>1</code>,
caching is turned on;
if set to <code>0</code>, caching is turned off.
<p>
The parameter <code>limit</code> sets the maximum size of the
hyperslab block to cache. If a block is smaller than that limit,
it may still not be cached if no memory is available.
Setting <code>limit</code> to <code>0</code> (zero) indicates
no limitation on the size of block to attempt to cache.
<p>
The default is to cache blocks with no limit on block size
for serial I/O and to not cache blocks for parallel I/O.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<dl>
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>plist</code>
<dd>IN: Dataset transfer property list identifier.
<dt><em>unsigned</em> <code>cache</code>
<dd>IN: A flag indicating whether caching is to be

<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Sets type conversion and background buffers.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd> Given a dataset transfer property list, <code>H5Pset_buffer</code>
sets the maximum size
for the type conversion buffer and background buffer and
optionally supplies pointers to application-allocated buffers.
If the buffer size is smaller than the entire amount of data
being transferred between the application and the file, and a type
conversion buffer or background buffer is required, then
strip mining will be used.
<p>
Note that there are minimum size requirements for the buffer.
Strip mining can only break the data up along the first dimension,
so the buffer must be large enough to accommodate a complete slice
that encompasses all of the remaining dimensions.
For example, when strip mining a 100x200x300 hyperslab
of a simple data space, the buffer must be large enough to
hold 1x200x300 data elements.
When strip mining a 100x200x300x150 hyperslab of a simple data space,
the buffer must be large enough to hold 1x200x300x150 data elements.
<p>
If <code>tconv</code> and/or <code>bkg</code> are null pointers,
then buffers will be allocated and freed during the data transfer.
<p>
The default value for the maximum buffer is 1 Mb.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>

<em>H5Z_method_t</em> <code>method</code>,
<em>unsigned int</em> <code>flags</code>,
<em>size_t</em> <code>cd_size</code>,
<em>const void</em> <code>*client_data</code>
)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Sets compression method.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Pset_compression</code> sets the compression method
in a dataset creation property list. This is a catch-all
function for defining compression methods
and is intended to be called from a wrapper such as
<code>H5Pset_deflate()</code>. The dataset creation property
list <em>plist</em> is adjusted to use the specified
compression method. The <em>flags</em> is an 8-bit vector
which is stored in the file as part of the compression message
and passed to the compress and uncompress functions. The
<em>client_data</em> is a byte array of length
<em>cd_size</em> which is copied to the file and passed to the
compress and uncompress methods.
<p>
The FLAGS, CD_SIZE, and CLIENT_DATA are copied to the
property list and eventually to the file and passed to the
compression functions.
<p>
See <a href="Compression.html"><cite>Compression</cite></a>
in the <cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite> for further information.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>

<dd>Sets compression method and compression level.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Pset_deflate</code> sets the compression method for a
dataset creation property list to <code>H5D_COMPRESS_DEFLATE</code>

<em>H5MM_allocate_t</em> <code>alloc</code>,

<em>void</em> *<code>free_info</code>
)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Sets the memory manager for variable-length datatype allocation in
<code>H5Dread</code> and <code>H5Dvlen_reclaim</code>.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Pset_vlen_mem_manager</code> sets the memory manager for
variable-length datatype allocation in <code>H5Dread</code>
and free in <code>H5Dvlen_reclaim</code>.
<p>
The <code>alloc</code> and <code>free</code> parameters
identify the memory management routines to be used.
If the user has defined custom memory management routines,
<code>alloc</code> and/or <code>free</code> should be set to make
those routine calls (i.e., the name of the routine is used as
the value of the parameter);
if the user prefers to use the system's <code> malloc</code>
and/or <code>free</code>, the <code>alloc</code> and
<code>free</code> parameters, respectively, should be set to
<code> NULL</code>
<p>
The prototypes for these user-defined functions would appear as follows:
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<em>typedef void</em> *(*<code>H5MM_allocate_t</code>)(<em>size_t</em> <code>size</code>,
<em>void</em> *<code>alloc_info</code>) ;
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<em>typedef void</em> (*<code>H5MM_free_t</code>)(<em>void</em> *<code>mem</code>,
<em>void</em> *<code>free_info</code>) ;
<br>
The <code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> parameters
can be used to pass along any required information to
the user's memory management routines.
<p>
In summary, if the user has defined custom memory management
routines, the name(s) of the routines are passed in the
<code>alloc</code> and <code>free</code> parameters and the
custom routines' parameters are passed in the
<code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> parameters.
If the user wishes to use the system <code> malloc</code> and
<code>free</code> functions, the <code>alloc</code> and/or
<code>free</code> parameters are set to <code> NULL</code>
and the <code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code>
parameters are ignored.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<dl>
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>plist</code>
<dd>IN: Identifier for the dataset transfer property list.
<dt><em>H5MM_allocate_t</em> <code>alloc</code>
<dd>IN: User's allocate routine, or &nbsp; <code> NULL</code>
for system &nbsp; <code> malloc</code>.
<dt><em>void</em> *<code>alloc_info</code>
<dd>IN: Extra parameter for user's allocation routine.
<br>
Contents are ignored if preceding parameter is &nbsp;
<code> NULL</code>.
<dt><em>H5MM_free_t</em> <code>free</code>
<dd>IN: User's free routine, or &nbsp; <code> NULL</code>
for system <code>free</code>.
<dt><em>void</em> *<code>free_info</code>
<dd>IN: Extra parameter for user's free routine.
<br>
Contents are ignored if preceding parameter is &nbsp;
<code> NULL</code>.
</dl>
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
<dd>Returns a non-negative value if successful;
otherwise returns a negative value.
