Hello, I noticed that you cannot set the endianness of data sets or attributes when you are using the H5LT interface. The tutorials suggest using a NATIVE datatype for this. But it is not clear which endianness the files will be written in.
So I am concerned that if my hdf5 files are made of an LE machine, that they may not be read correctly by a BE machine. I do not currently have a BE machine to test this on, but as my project is meant to run on large clusters it is feasible that this could be the case in the future. So currently I am implementing using the Low-Level c routines so that I can guarantee this. Thank you, Justin _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
