Hi everyone,

I just spent some time looking for a command-line tool that shows the
size occupied by each dataset in a file. I didn't find anything. The
most promising candidates were h5stat, h5ls, and h5dump, but it seems
that none of them can provide the information I am looking for.

Is there perhaps a third-party tool for that purpose?

I realize that "size" can be defined in lots of ways, but I don't
really care about the details. I have lots of files that each contain
hundreds of datasets, of which most are small but a few are very big.
I am looking for a simple way to identify the big ones. My ideal
definition of size is "how much smaller would the file be if dataset X
were not in there".

Konrad.
