Hi, I'm curious as to how HDF5 treats character-set information during type conversion. There are functions H5Tset_cset and H5Tget_cset in the API. What happens if I try to read data defined as H5T_CSET_ASCII into a buffer defined as H5T_CSET_UTF8, and vice-versa? What if the buffer defined as ASCII contains characters > 127, but isn't UTF-8 compliant? I ask because in practice I've noticed that H5T_CSET_ASCII seems to be used to indicate data of an unknown encoding.
Thanks, Andrew _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion. [email protected] http://mail.hdfgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/hdf-forum_hdfgroup.org
