\section secVOLIntro Introduction
|
|
The Virtual Object Layer (VOL) is an abstraction layer in the HDF5 library which intercepts all API
|
|
calls that could potentially access objects in an HDF5 container and forwards those calls to object drivers
|
|
referred to as <em>VOL connectors</em>. The architecture of this feature is described in the \ref H5VL_UG
|
|
and VOL Architecture and Internals Documentation and will not be duplicated here.
|
|
|
|
This guide is for people who are interested in developing their own VOL connector for the HDF5 library.
|
|
It is assumed that the reader has good knowledge of the VOL architecture obtained by reading the VOL
|
|
architectural design document.

\section secVOLCreate Creating a New Connector
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLOverview Overview
|
|
Creating a new VOL connector can be a complicated process. You will need to map your storage system
|
|
to the HDF5 data model through the lens of the VOL and this may involve some impedance mismatch that
|
|
you will have to work around. The good news is that the HDF5 library has been re-engineered to handle
|
|
arbitrary, connector-specific data structures via the VOL callbacks, so no knowledge of the library internals
|
|
is necessary to write a VOL connector.
|
|
|
|
Writing a VOL connector requires these things:
|
|
\li Decide on library vs plugin vs internal.
|
|
\li Set up your build/test files (CMake, Autotools, etc.).
|
|
\li Fill in some boilerplate information in yourH5VLclasststruct.
|
|
\li Decide how you will perform any necessary initialization needed by your storage system.
|
|
\li Map Storage to HDF5 File Objects
|
|
\li Create implementations for the callbacks you need to support.
|
|
\li Test the connector.
|
|
|
|
Each of the steps listed above is described in more detail in this section of the document.
|
|
|
|
The "model then implement" steps can be performed iteratively. You might begin by only supporting files,
|
|
datasets, and groups and only allowing basic operations on them. In some cases, this may be all that is
|
|
needed. As your needs grow, you can repeat those steps and increase the connector's HDF5 API coverage
|
|
at a pace that makes sense for your users.
|
|
|
|
Also, note that this document only covers writing VOL connectors using the C programming language. It
|
|
is often possible to write connectors in other programming languages (e.g.; Python) via the language's C
|
|
interop facilities, but that topic is out of scope for this document.
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOL112dep The HDF5 1.12.x VOL Interface Is DEPRECATED
|
|
Important changes were made to the VOL interface for HDF5 1.13.0 and, due to binary compatibility issues,
|
|
these cannot be merged to HDF5 1.12.x. For this reason, VOL connector development should be shifted to
|
|
target 1.13.0 as no further development of the VOL interface will take place on the 1.12.x branch. Unlike the
|
|
other development branches of the library, there is no hdf5_1_13 branch - all HDF5 1.13.0 development is
|
|
taking place in the develop branch of the HDF5 repository and 1.13.x branches will split off from that.
|
|
|
|
Note also that HDF5 1.13.0 is considered an unstable branch, and the API and file format are subject to
|
|
change ("unstable" means "not yet finalized", not "buggy"). The VOL feature is under active development
|
|
and, although it is nearing its final form, may change further before the stable HDF5 1.14.0 release targeted
|
|
for 2022.
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLRelated VOL-Related HDF5 Header Files
|
|
Use of the VOL, including topics such as registration and loading VOL plugins, is described in the \ref H5VL_UG.

|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
Many VOL connectors are listed on The HDF Group's VOL plugin registration page, located at:
|
|
<a href="https://\DOCURL/registered_vol_connectors.html">Registered VOL Connectors</a>.
|
|
Not all of these VOL connectors are supported by The HDF Group and the level of completeness varies, but the
|
|
connectors found there can serve as examples of working implementations
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLLPI Library vs Plugin vs Internal
|
|
When building a VOL connector, you have several options:
|
|
|
|
<h4>Library</h4>
|
|
The connector can be built as a normal shared or static library. Software that uses your connector will have
|
|
to link to it just like any other library. This can be convenient since you don't have to deal with plugin paths
|
|
and searching for the connector at runtime, but it also means that software which uses your connector will
|
|
have to be built and linked against it.
|
|
|
|
<h4>Plugin</h4>
|
|
You can also build your connector as a dynamically loaded plugin. The mechanism for this is the same
|
|
mechanism used to dynamically load HDF5 filter plugins. This can allow use of your connector via the
|
|
VOL environment variable, without modifying the application, but requires your plugin to be discoverable
|
|
at runtime. See the \ref H5VL_UG for more information about using HDF5 plugins.
|
|
|
|
To build your connector as a plugin, you will have to include <b>H5PLextern.h</b>
|
|
(a public header distributed with the library) and implement the #H5PLget_plugin_type
|
|
#H5PLget_plugin_info calls, both of which are trivial to code up. It also often requires your connector
|
|
to be built with certain compile/link options. The VOL connector template does all of these things.
|
|
|
|
The HDF5 library's plugin loading code will call #H5PLget_plugin_type
|
|
to determine the type of plugin(e.g.; filter, VOL) and #H5PLget_plugin_info
|
|
to get the class struct, which allows the library to query the plugin for its name and value to see if it has found
|
|
a requested plugin. When a match is found, the library will use the class struct to register the connector and map its callbacks.
|
|
|
|
For the HDF5 library to be able to load an external plugin dynamically, the plugin developer has to define
|
|
two public routines with the following name and signature:
|
|
\code
|
|
H5PL_type_t H5PLget_plugin_type(void);
|
|
const void *H5PLget_plugin_info(void);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
To show how easy this is to accomplish, here is the complete implementation of those functions in the
|
|
template VOL connector:
|
|
\code
|
|
H5PL_type_t H5PLget_plugin_type(void) { return H5PL_TYPE_VOL; }
|
|
const void *H5PLget_plugin_info(void) { return &template_class_g; }
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\ref H5PLget_plugin_type should return the library type which should always be #H5PL_TYPE_VOL.
|
|
#H5PLget_plugin_info should return a pointer to the plugin structure defining the VOL plugin with all the callbacks.
|
|
For example, consider an external plugin defined as:
|
|
\code
|
|
static const H5VL_class_t H5VL_foo_g = {
|
|
2, // version
|
|
12345, // value
|
|
"foo", // name
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The plugin would implement the two routines as:
|
|
\code
|
|
H5PL_type_t H5PLget_plugin_type(void)
|
|
{return H5PL_TYPE_VOL;}
|
|
const void *H5PLget_plugin_info(void)
|
|
{return &H5VL_foo_g;}
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
<h4>Internal</h4>
|
|
Your VOL connector can also be constructed as a part of the HDF5 library. This works in the same way
|
|
as the stdio and multi virtual file drivers (VFDs) and does not require knowledge of HDF5 internals or
|
|
use of non-public API calls. You simply have to add your connector's files to the
|
|
Makefile.am and/or CMakeLists.txt files in the source distribution's src directory. This requires maintaining
|
|
a private build of the library, though, and is not recommended.
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLBuild Build Files / VOL Template
|
|
We have created a template terminal VOL connector that includes both Autotools and CMake build files. The
|
|
constructed VOL connector includes no real functionality, but can be registered and loaded as a plugin.
|
|
|
|
The VOL template can be found here:
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/HDFGroup/vol-template">VOL template</a>
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this template is to quickly get you to the point where you can begin filling in the callback
|
|
functions and writing tests. You can copy this code to your own repository to serve as the basis for your
|
|
new connector.
|
|
|
|
A template passthrough VOL is also available. This will be discussed in the section on passthrough connectors.
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLBoil H5VL_class_t Boilerplate
|
|
Several fields in the H5VLclasststruct will need to be filled in.
|
|
|
|
In HDF5 1.13.0, the <em>version</em> field will be 2, indicating the connector targets version 2 of the
|
|
#H5VL_class_t struct. Version 1 of the struct was never formally released and only available in the
|
|
develop branch of the HDF5 git repository. Version 0 is used in the deprecated HDF5 1.12.x branch.
|
|
|
|
Every connector needs a <em>name</em> and <em>value</em>. The library will use these when loading and registering the
|
|
connector (as described in the \ref H5VL_UG), so they should be unique in your ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
VOL connector values are integers, with a maximum value of 65535. Values from 0 to 255 are reserved
|
|
for internal use by The HDF Group. The native VOL connector has a value of 0. Values of 256 to 511
|
|
are for connector testing and should not be found in the wild. Values of 512 to 65535 are for external
|
|
connectors.
|
|
|
|
As is the case with HDF5 filters, The HDF Group can assign you an official VOL connector value. Please
|
|
contact <a href="help@hdfgroup.org">help@hdfgroup.org</a> for help with this. We currently do not register connector names, though the
|
|
name you've chosen will appear on the registered VOL connectors page.
|
|
|
|
As noted above, registered VOL connectors will be listed at:
|
|
<a href="https://\DOCURL/registered_vol_connectors.html">Registered VOL Connectors</a>
|
|
|
|
A new \b conn_version field has been added to the class struct for 1.13. This field is currently not used by
|
|
the library so its use is determined by the connector author. Best practices for this field will be determined
|
|
in the near future and this part of the guide will be updated.
|
|
|
|
The \b cap_flags field is used to determine the capabilities of the VOL connector. At this time, the use of this
|
|
field is limited to indicating thread-safety, asynchronous capabilities, and ability to produce native HDF5
|
|
files. Supported flags can be found in \ref H5VLconnector.h.
|
|
\code
|
|
// Capability flags for connector
|
|
#define H5VL_CAP_FLAG_NONE 0 // No special connector capabilities
|
|
#define H5VL_CAP_FLAG_THREADSAFE 0x01 // Connector is threadsafe
|
|
#define H5VL_CAP_FLAG_ASYNC 0x02 // Connector performs operations asynchronously
|
|
#define H5VL_CAP_FLAG_NATIVE_FILES 0x04 // Connector produces native file format
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLInit Initialization and Shutdown
|
|
You'll need to decide how to perform any initialization and shutdown tasks that are required by your
|
|
connector. There are initialize and terminate callbacks in the #H5VL_class_t struct to handle this. They
|
|
are invoked when the connector is registered and unregistered, respectively. The initialize callback can take
|
|
a VOL initialization property list, so any properties you need for initialization can be applied to it. The
|
|
HDF5 library currently makes no use of the vipl so there are no default vipl properties.
|
|
|
|
If this is unsuitable, you may have to create custom connector-specific API calls to handle initialization and
|
|
termination. It may also be useful to perform operations in a custom API call used to set the VOL connector
|
|
in the fapl.
|
|
|
|
The initialization and terminate callbacks:
|
|
\code
|
|
herr_t (*initialize)(hid_t vipl_id); // Connector initialization callback
|
|
herr_t (*terminate)(void); // Connector termination callback
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLMap Map Storage to HDF5 File Objects
|
|
The most difficult part of designing a new VOL connector is determining how to support HDF5
|
|
file objects and operations using your storage system. There isn't much specific advice to give here, as each
|
|
connector will have unique needs, but a forthcoming "tutorial" connector will set up a simple connector and
|
|
demonstrate this process.
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLFillIn Fill In VOL Callbacks
|
|
For each file object you support in your connector (including the file itself), you will need to create a
|
|
data struct to hold whatever file object metadata that are needed by your connector. For example, a data
|
|
structure for a VOL connector based on text files might have a file struct that contains a file pointer for the
|
|
text file, buffers used for caching data, etc. Pointers to these data structures are where your connector's
|
|
state is stored and are returned to the HDF5 library from the create/open/etc. callbacks such as
|
|
<em>dataset create</em>.
|
|
|
|
Once you have your data structures, you'll need to create your own implementations of the callback functions
|
|
and map them via your #H5VL_class_t struct.
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLOpt Handling Optional Operations
|
|
Handling optional operations has changed significantly in HDF5 1.13.0. In the past, optional operations were
|
|
specified using an integer <em>opt_type</em> parameter. This proved to be a problem with pass-through connectors,
|
|
though, as it was possible to have <em>opt_type</em> clash if two connectors used the same <em>opt_type</em> values.
|
|
|
|
The new scheme allows a connector to register an optional operation with the library and receive a dynamically-allocated
|
|
<em>opt_type</em> value for the operation.
|
|
|
|
The following API calls can be used to manage the optional operations:
|
|
\code
|
|
herr_t H5VLregister_opt_operation(H5VL_subclass_t subcls, const char *op_name, int *op_val);
|
|
herr_t H5VLfind_opt_operation(H5VL_subclass_t subcls, const char *op_name, int *op_val);
|
|
herr_t H5VLunregister_opt_operation(H5VL_subclass_t subcls, const char *op_name)
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The <em>register</em> call is used to register an operation for a subclass (file, etc.) and the <em>opt_type</em> parameter
|
|
that the library assigned to the operation will be returned via the <em>opt_val</em> parameter. This value can then
|
|
be passed to one of the subclass-specific API calls (listed below). If you need to find an existing optional
|
|
call's assigned <em>opt_type</em> value by name, you can use the <em>find</em> call.
|
|
|
|
One recommended way to handle optional calls is to <em>register</em> all the optional calls at startup, saving the
|
|
values in connector state, then use these cached values in your optional calls. The assigned values should be
|
|
unregistered using the <em>unregister</em> call when the connector shuts down.
|
|
|
|
Subclass-specific optional calls:
|
|
\code
|
|
herr_t H5VLattr_optional_op(const char *app_file, const char *app_func, unsigned app_line,
|
|
hid_t attr_id, H5VL_optional_args_t *args, hid_t dxpl_id, hid_t es_id);
|
|
herr_t H5VLdataset_optional_op(const char *app_file, const char *app_func, unsigned app_line,
|
|
hid_t dset_id, H5VL_optional_args_t *args, hid_t dxpl_id, hid_t es_id);
|
|
herr_t H5VLdatatype_optional_op(const char *app_file, const char *app_func, unsigned app_line,
|
|
hid_t type_id, H5VL_optional_args_t *args, hid_t dxpl_id, hid_tes_id);
|
|
herr_t H5VLfile_optional_op(const char *app_file, const char *app_func, unsigned app_line,
|
|
hid_t file_id, H5VL_optional_args_t *args, hid_t dxpl_id, hid_t es_id);
|
|
herr_t H5VLgroup_optional_op(const char *app_file, const char *app_func, unsigned app_line,
|
|
hid_t group_id, H5VL_optional_args_t *args, hid_t dxpl_id, hid_t es_id);
|
|
herr_t H5VLlink_optional_op(const char *app_file, const char *app_func, unsigned app_line,
|
|
hid_t loc_id, const char *name, hid_t lapl_id, H5VL_optional_args_t *args,
|
|
hid_t dxpl_id, hid_t es_id);
|
|
herr_t H5VLobject_optional_op(const char *app_file, const char *app_func, unsigned app_line,
|
|
hid_t loc_id, const char *name, hid_t lapl_id,
|
|
H5VL_optional_args_t *args, hid_t dxpl_id, hid_t es_id);
|
|
herr_t H5VLrequest_optional_op(void *req, hid_t connector_id, H5VL_optional_args_t *args);
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLTest Testing Your Connector
|
|
At the time of writing, some of the HDF5 library tests have been abstracted out of the library with their
|
|
native-file-format-only sections removed and added to a VOL test suite available here:
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/HDFGroup/vol-tests">vol-tests</a>
|
|
|
|
This is an evolving set of tests, so see the documentation in that repository for instructions as to its use.
|
|
You may want to clone and modify and/or extend these tests for use with your own connector.
|
|
|
|
In the future, we plan to modify the HDF5 test suite that ships with the library to use a future VOL
|
|
capabilities flags scheme to selectively run tests that a particular connector supports. As this is a large task,
|
|
it may be some time before that work is complete.
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLPassthrough Passthrough Connectors
|
|
Coming Soon
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
Passthrough VOL connectors should avoid doing anything with the file in the open and create
|
|
callbacks except opening it. If connectors need to do anything else they should use the post
|
|
open callback (H5VL_NATIVE_FILE_POST_OPEN op_type for the file "optional" callback),
|
|
making sure to perform operations on the file only after passing the post open call down to
|
|
the terminal connector. The post open callback is made for both file open and file create calls.
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLAsync Asynchronous Operations
|
|
Coming Soon
|
|
|
|
\section secVOLRef VOL Connector Interface Reference
|
|
Each VOL connector should be of type #H5VL_class_t:
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>
|
|
<em>VOL connector class, H5VLpublic.h</em>
|
|
\snippet H5VLconnector.h H5VL_class_t_snip
|
|
</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
The <em>version</em> field is the version of the #H5VL_class_t struct. This is identical to how the <em>version</em> field is
|
|
used in the #H5Z_class2_t struct for filters.
|
|
|
|
The <em>value</em> field is a unique integer identifier that should be between 512 and 65535 for external, non-library
|
|
connectors.
|
|
|
|
The <em>name</em> field is a string that uniquely identifies the VOL connector name.
|
|
|
|
The <em>conn_version</em> is the connector version. This is currently not used by the library.
|
|
|
|
The <em>cap_flags</em> holds bitwise capability/feature flags that determine which operations and capabilities are
|
|
supported by a the VOL connector. These fields were enumerated in the previous section.
|
|
|
|
The <em>initialize</em> field is a function pointer to a routine that a connector implements to set up or initialize
|
|
access to the connector. Implementing this function by the connector is not required since some connectors
|
|
do not require any set up to start accessing the connector. In that case, the value of the function pointer
|
|
should be set to NULL. Connector specific variables that are required to be passed from users should be
|
|
passed through the VOL initialize property list. Generic properties can be added to this property class
|
|
for user-defined connectors that cannot modify the HDF5 library to add internal properties. For more
|
|
information consult the property list reference manual pages.
|
|
|
|
The <em>terminate</em> field is a function pointer to a routine that a connector implements to terminate or finalize
|
|
access to the connector. Implementing this function by the connector is not required since some connectors
|
|
do not require any termination phase to the connector. In that case, the value of the function pointer should
|
|
be set to NULL.
|
|
|
|
The rest of the fields in the #H5VL_class_t struct are "subclasses" that define all the VOL function callbacks
|
|
that are mapped to from the HDF5 API layer. Those subclasses are categorized into three categories, VOL
|
|
Framework, Data Model, and Infrastructure / Services.
|
|
|
|
VOL Framework classes provide functionality for working with the VOL connectors themselves (e.g., working
|
|
with connector strings) and with wrapping and unwrapping objects for passthrough connectors.
|
|
|
|
Data Model classes are those that provide functionality for accessing an HDF5 container and objects in that
|
|
container as defined by the HDF5 data model.
|
|
|
|
Infrastructure / Service classes are those that provide services for users that are not related to the data model
|
|
specifically. Asynchronous operations, for example, are a service that most connectors can implement, so we
|
|
add a class for it in the VOL structure.
|
|
|
|
If a service becomes generic enough and common among many connectors, a class for it should be added
|
|
to the VOL structure. However, many connectors can/will provide services that are not shared by other
|
|
connectors. A good way to support these services is through an optional callback in the VOL structure which
|
|
can be a hook from the API to the connector that provides those services, passing any necessary arguments
|
|
needed without the HDF5 library having to worry about supporting that service. A similar API operation
|
|
to allow users to use that service will be added. This API call would be similar to an "ioctl" call where any
|
|
kind of operation can be supported and passed down to the connector that has enough knowledge from the
|
|
user to interpret the type of the operation. All classes and their defined callbacks will be detailed in the
|
|
following sub-sections.
|
|
|
|
To handle that large set of API routines, each class in the Data Model category has three generic callbacks,
|
|
<em>get</em>, <em>specific</em>, and <em>optional</em> to handle the three set of API operations outline above respectively. To
|
|
handle the varying parameters that can be passed to the callback, each callback will take a struct parameter
|
|
that includes an enum <em>get/specific</em> or integer <em>optional</em> field indicating the operation and a union of the
|
|
possible parameters <em>get/specific</em> or void pointer to the parameters <em>optional</em>.
|
|
|
|
The optional args struct used for all optional operations:
|
|
\code
|
|
// Struct for all 'optional' callbacks
|
|
typedef struct H5VL_optional_args_t {
|
|
int op_type; // Operation to perform
|
|
void *args; // Pointer to operation's argument struct
|
|
} H5VL_optional_args_t;
|
|
\endcode
|
|
|
|
The <em>opt_type</em> member is the value assigned by the library when the optional operation was registered (or
|
|
<em>defined</em> in the case of the native VOL connector) and the <em>args</em> member is a pointer to the optional
|
|
operation's parameters (usually passed in as a struct).
|
|
|
|
Note that this differs from the HDF5 1.12.x scheme, which used <em>va_lists</em>.
|
|
|
|
The <em>optional</em> callback is a free for all callback where anything from the API layer is passed in directly.
|
|
This callback is used to support connector specific operations in the API that other connectors should or
|
|
would not know about. More information about types and the arguments for each type will be detailed in
|
|
the corresponding class arguments.
|
|
|
|
\subsection subsecVOLRefMap Mapping the API to the Callbacks
|
|
The callback interface defined for the VOL has to be general enough to handle all the HDF5 API operations
|
|
that would access the file. Furthermore, it has to capture future additions to the HDF5 library with little to
|
|
no changes to the callback interface. Changing the interface often whenever new features are added would
|
|
be discouraging to connector developers since that would mean reworking their VOL connector structure.
|
|
To remedy this issue, every callback will contain two parameters:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A data transfer property list (DXPL) which allows that API to put some properties on for the connectors
|
|
to retrieve if they have to for particular operations, without having to add arguments to the VOL
|
|
callback function.</li>
|
|
<li>A pointer to a request <em>(void **req)</em> to handle asynchronous operations if the HDF5 library adds
|
|
support for them in future releases. hat pointer is set by the VOL connector to a request object it
|
|
creates to manage progress on that asynchronous operation. If the <em>req</em> is <em>NULL</em>, that means that the
|
|
API operation is blocking and so the connector would not execute the operation asynchronously. If
|
|
the connector does not support asynchronous operations, it needs not to worry about this field and
|
|
leaves it unset.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
In order to keep the number of the VOL object classes and callbacks concise and readable, it was decided
|
|
not to have a one-to-one mapping between API operation and callbacks. The parameter names and types
|
|
will be detailed when describing each callback in their respective sections.
|
|
|
|
The HDF5 library provides several routines to access an object in the container. For example, to open an
|
|
attribute on a group object, the user could use #H5Aopen and pass the group identifier directly where the
|
|
attribute needs to be opened. Alternatively, the user could use #H5Aopen_by_name or #H5Aopen_by_idx
|
|
to open the attribute, which provides a more flexible way of locating the attribute, whether by a starting
|
|
object location and a path or an index type and traversal order. All those types of accesses usually map to
|
|
one VOL callback with a parameter that indicates the access type. In the example of opening an attribute,
|
|
the three API open routine will map to the same VOL open callback but with a different location parameter.
|
|
The same applies to all types of routines that have multiple types of accesses. The location parameter is a
|
|
structure defined in:
|
|
|
|
<em>Structure to hold parameters for object locations, H5VLconnector.h</em>
|
|
\code

\subsection subsecVOLRefConn Connector Information Callbacks
|
|
This section's callbacks involve the connector-specific information that will be associated with the VOL in
|
|
the fapl via <b>H5Pset_fapl_<name></b> et al. This data is copied into the fapl so the library needs these functions to
|
|
manage this in a way that prevents resource leaks.
|
|
|
|
The <em>to_str</em> and <em>from_str</em> callbacks are used to convert the connector-specific data to and from a configuration
|
|
string. There is no official way to construct VOL configuration strings, so the format used (JSON,
|
|
XML, getopt-style processing, etc.) is up to the connector author. These connector configuration strings
|
|
can be used to set up a VOL connector via mechanisms like command-line parameters and environment
|
|
variables.
|
|
|
|
<em>Info class for connector information routines, H5VLconnector.h</em>
|

\subsection subsecVOLRefDType Datatype Callbacks
|
|
The HDF5 datatype routines (\ref H5T) allow users to create and manage HDF5 datatypes. Those routines are
|
|
divided into two categories. One that operates on all types of datatypes but do not modify the contents of the
|
|
container (all in memory), and others that operate on named datatypes by accessing the container. When
|
|
a user creates an HDF5 datatype, it is still an object in memory space (transient datatype) that has not
|
|
been added to the HDF5 containers. Only when a user commits the HDF5 datatype, it becomes persistent
|
|
in the container. Those are called named/committed datatypes. The transient H5T routines should work
|
|
on named datatypes nevertheless.
|
|
|
|
All the \ref H5T API routines that modify the HDF5 container map to one of the named datatype callback
|
|
routines in this class that the connector needs to implement.

Wrap an internal object with a "wrap context" and register and return an hidt for the resulting object.
|
|
This routine is mainly targeted toward wrapping objects for iteration routine callbacks
|
|
(i.e. the callbacks from H5Aiterate*, H5Literate* / H5Lvisit*, and H5Ovisit* ). Using it in an application
|
|
will return an error indicating the API context isn't available or can't be retrieved.
|
|
he type must be a VOL-managed object class:
