Hello, HDF5 stores all information about objects in memory in a B-tree. When it writes data out to a file on disk, there should be a mapping between the b-tree and the actual offsets in file where the objects are stored. Is there some documentation where this mapping is explained? For example, if I have an HDF5 file with a root group and two datasets, what are the exact offsets in the hdf5 file where the datasets get stored? At what offsets can I find their headers?
I looked (briefly) at the file format specification, it talks about the various header formats etc., but I dont think it talks about object-->offset mapping. Thanks for your help, Kshitij _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
