/**
|
|
* @file
|
|
* @internal This function selects the best HDF5 file format options
|
|
* to create netCDF-4 files that can be read and written by older
|
|
* library versions.
|
|
*
|
|
* Format compatibility is transient, not baked in to an HDF5 file
|
|
* at creation time. Therefore the desired compatibilty options
|
|
* must be selected every time a file is opened for writing.
|
|
*
|
|
* This function should be called before every call to create a new
|
|
* netCDF-4 file, or to open an existing netCDF-4 file for writing.
|
|
* This function has no effect when opening a file for read only.
|
|
*
|
|
* This function should work correctly with all HDF5 library versions
|
|
* from 1.8.0 through 1.13.0 and beyond, with no further changes.
|
|
* This assumes that HDF5 versioning controls remain consistent
|
|
* into the future.
|
|
*
|
|
* The basic functionality is to select the traditional HDF5 v1.8
|
|
* format compatibility, whenever possible. The less desirable
|
|
* v1.6 compatibily is selected in a few strange cases when it is
|
|
* not possible to select v1.8.
|
|
*
|
|
* Files created or updated with v1.10 and higher compatibility are
|
|
* not legal netCDF-4 format, as of 2022 January. They are not
|
|
* readable by any netCDF library version linked with any HDF5 v1.8
|
|
* or older library version. However, it is possible for advanced
|
|
* or experimental software to deliberately override these default
|
|
* format settings, to create advanced format files for special
|
|
* purposes.
|
|
*
|
|
* Files created with v1.6 compatibility have superblock version 0.
|
|
* Files created with v1.8 compatibility have superblock version 2.
|
|
* Files created with v1.10 compatibility have superblock version 3,
|
|
* and are avoided by default. Et cetera.
|
|
*
|
|
* The superblock version is locked in when a file is first created.
|
|
* It is then possible to get a mix of v1.6 and v1.8 internal
|
|
* object versions, when an existing netCDF-4 file is modified by
|
|
* a different software version than the one that originally
|
|
* created the file. Mixed-object files of this nature are common
|
|
* and do not suffer any serious problems.
|
|
*
|
|
* Also note that the THIRD function argument to H5Pset_libver_bounds
|
|
* below, is set to "high = H5F_LIBVER_LATEST" in all cases. This
|
|
* setting does not affect object versions used by default in
|
|
* netCDF-4. Its purpose is for new or experimental code, to enable
|
|
* the possible application of new HDF5 features such as SWMR,
|
|
* without additional complication of this format control function.
|
|
*
|
|
* See netcdf-c github issues #250, #951, and PR #2176 for more
|
|
* details about the rationale and evolution of netCDF-4 format
|
|
* compatibility.
|
|
*
|
|
* See HDF5 documentation for H5Pset_libver_bounds and related RFC's,
|
|
* for more details about HDF5 file object versioning.
