Is there a way to read/write compact boolean or bitfield values? I see the bitfield types but I can't understand how it's different than writing ints. The API examples show hand packing/unpacking of the bits. How is H5T_NATIVE_B8 different from H5T_NATIVE_UINT8?
Ideally I'd like 8-bit bools in memory packed into 1-bit bools on disk so it's easy to work with when loaded but stored compactly. Thanks, David
