I'm once again puzzled by the behavior of h5dump. In this case I have
the following dataset:
DATASPACE SIMPLE { ( 288, 2, 32, 1 ) / ( 288, H5S_UNLIMITED,
H5S_UNLIMITED, H5S_UNLIMITED ) }
and I was trying to dump the first "row" (i.e. all elements with the
1st dimension = 0). I tried
h5dump -d dataset-name -s "0,0,0,0" -k "1,2,32,1" somefile.h5
but the results were not at all what I expected. Here's a brief
listing of just the coordinates h5dump prints out:
(0,0,0,0): {
(0,0,1,0): {
(0,0,1,0): {
(0,0,2,0): {
(0,0,2,0): {
(0,0,3,0): {
(0,0,3,0): {
...
(0,0,31,0): {
(0,0,31,0): {
(0,1,0,0): {
what's more, the elements at each coordinate are completely
different. The first 0,0,1,0 matches the fill data, while the second
0,0,1,0 has data in it.
Now, I was doing this in an attempt to verify what hdfdump (2.7) was
telling me, which was that 0,0,0,0 was exactly the same as 0,1,0,0
which shouldn't be the case unless I have a bug in my software.
h5dump doesn't really confirm this but both hdfview and h5dump appear
to be displaying things incorrectly, certainly inconsistently.
I'm using a modified (for iRODS support) HDF5 1.8.8 snap 6.
