Dear all, For the two versions of the same HDF5 file, h5diff comparison outputs "0 differences found"; however, when compared with the Unix "diff" command, they differ. This is creating inconvenience under version control system. Do you have any suggestions why diff and h5diff conflicts? As far as I remember, this was not the case in the past and I remember managing HDF5 data files without problems under GIT DVCS; however, I cannot recall which version of the HDF5 library.
I tried this as below: I compiled my Fortran program (using GNU Fortran 4.8.2) and ran it so as to create the HDF5 datafile as output. I moved the datafile to some other directory. Then I re-ran my program (without recompiling) and then compared the newly created HDF5 data file with the old one using "diff" tool in Mac OS X (10.9.4) and Linux (Debian Wheezy 7.6 x64) and they did differ. Why? My HDF5 version is 1.8.12 and diff version is GNU diffutils 2.8.1. Thank you in advance, Ekin
