Robb Matzke b5e2752ad6 [svn-r673] Changes since 19980908
----------------------

./COPYING
	Reformatted as text instead of C.  Removed zlib crew from the
	list of contributors since no zlib code is actually in the
	hdf5 library.

./INSTALL
./INSTALL.ascired
./MANIFEST
	Minor updates for Beta release including version number
	change.

./INSTALL_MAINT
	Added information about making a release.

./RELEASE
	Updated function list based on public header files.

./bin/checkposix
	Got rid of complaints about some obvious things.

./doc/html/H5.api.html
./doc/html/RM_H5F.html
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fpublic.h
./test/tfile.c
	Changed H5Fget_create_template() and H5Fget_access_template()
	to H5Fget_create_plist() and H5Fget_access_plist() since that
	conforms better to lots of other names.

./doc/html/Datatypes.html
./doc/html/ExternalFiles.html

./doc/html/H5.sample_code.html

./doc/html/RM_H5Front.html
	Changed `template' to `property list', etc.

./doc/html/Ragged.html	   [NEW]
	Documentation for ragged arrays.

./src/H5Iprivate.h
./src/H5Ipublic.h
./src/H5I.c
	Changed the scope of some symbols to be more local.

	Fixed some violations of our naming scheme by adding HD to the
	beginning of all Posix functions.

<h2><a name="Example1">Simple Example showing how to create a file.</a></h2>
<P>Notes:<br>
This example creates a new HDF5 file and allows write access.
If the file exists already, the H5F_ACC_TRUNC flag would also be necessary to
overwrite the previous file's information.
<P>Code:
<code> <pre>
hid_t file_id;
file_id=<A HREF="H5.apiv2.html#File-Create">H5Fcreate</a>("example1.h5",H5F_ACC_EXCL,H5P_DEFAULT,H5P_DEFAULT);
<A HREF="H5.apiv2.html#File-Close">H5Fclose</a>(file_id);
</pre> </code>
<hr>
<h2><a name="Example2">Example showing how create a homogenous multi-dimensional dataset.</a></h2>
<P>Notes:<br>
This example creates a 4-dimensional dataset of 32-bit floating-point
numbers, corresponding to the current Scientific Dataset functionality.
<P>Code:
<code> <pre>
1 hid_t file_id; /* new file's ID */
2 hid_t dim_id; /* new dimensionality's ID */
3 int rank=4; /* the number of dimensions */
4 hsize_t dims[4]={6,5,4,3}; /* the size of each dimension */
5 hid_t dataset_id; /* new dataset's ID */
6 float buf[6][5][4][3]; /* storage for the dataset's data */
7 herr_t status; /* function return status */
8
9 file_id = H5Fcreate ("example3.h5", H5F_ACC_TRUNC, H5P_DEFAULT,
10 H5P_DEFAULT);
11 assert (file_id &gt;= 0);
12
13 /* Create & initialize a dimensionality object */
14 dim_id = H5Screate_simple (rank, dims);
15 assert (dim_id &gt;= 0);
16
17 /* Create & initialize the dataset object */
18 dataset_id = H5Dcreate (file_id, "Simple Object", H5T_NATIVE_FLOAT,
19 dim_id, H5P_DEFAULT);
20 assert (dataset_id &gt;= 0);
21
22 &lt;initialize data array&gt;
23
24 /* Write the entire dataset out */
25 status = H5Dwrite (dataset_id, H5T_NATIVE_FLOAT, H5S_ALL, H5S_ALL,
26 H5P_DEFAULT, buf);
27 assert (status &gt;= 0);
28
29 /* Release the IDs we've created */
30 H5Sclose (dim_id);
31 H5Dclose (dataset_id);
32 H5Fclose (file_id);
</pre> </code>

<h2><a name="Example3">Example showing how read a generic dataset.</a></h2>
<P>Notes:<br>
This example shows how to get the information for and display a generic
dataset.
<P>Code:
<code> <pre>
1 hid_t file_id; /* file's ID */
2 hid_t dataset_id; /* dataset's ID in memory */
3 hid_t space_id; /* dataspace's ID in memory */
4 uintn nelems; /* number of elements in array */
5 double *buf; /* pointer to the dataset's data */
6 herr_t status; /* function return value */
7
8 file_id = H5Fopen ("example6.h5", H5F_ACC_RDONLY, H5P_DEFAULT);
9 assert (file_id &gt;= 0);
10
11 /* Attach to a datatype object */
12 dataset_id = H5Dopen (file_id, "dataset1");
13 assert (dataset_id &gt;= 0);
14
15 /* Get the OID for the dataspace */
16 space_id = H5Dget_space (dataset_id);
17 assert (space_id &gt;= 0);
18
19 /* Allocate space for the data */
20 nelems = H5Sget_npoints (space_id);
21 buf = malloc (nelems * sizeof(double));
22
23 /* Read in the dataset */
24 status = H5Dread (dataset_id, H5T_NATIVE_DOUBLE, H5S_ALL,, H5S_ALL,
25 H5P_DEFAULT, buf);
26 assert (status &gt;= 0);
27
28 /* Release the IDs we've accessed */
29 H5Sclose (space_id);
30 H5Dclose (dataset_id);
31 H5Fclose (file_id);
