H5T_ARRAY

Hello,

my name is Vlad and HDF5 is new for me.
I want to ask an advise in one case.
i have a datatype and there i have smth like:

DATATYPE H5T_COMPOUND {
H5T_STD_U32LE "fillnum";
H5T_STD_U32LE "runnum";
H5T_STD_U32LE "lsnum";
H5T_STD_U32LE "nbnum";
H5T_STD_U32LE "timestampsec";
H5T_STD_U32LE "timestampmsec";
H5T_STD_U8LE "publishnnb";
H5T_STD_U8LE "datasourceid";
H5T_STD_U8LE "algoid";
H5T_STD_U8LE "channelid";
H5T_ARRAY { [3564] H5T_STD_U16LE } "data";
}

to read it i'm creating a structure and then read the file into it, i define the structure in my code like this:
typedef struct {
unsigned int fillnum;
unsigned int runnum;
unsigned int lsnum;
unsigned int nbnum;
unsigned int timestampsec;
unsigned int timestampmsec;
unsigned char publishnnb;
unsigned char datasourceid;
unsigned char algoid;
unsigned char channelid;
unsigned short data[3564];
} bcm1fagghist_type;
but looks like for H5T_ARRAY line 'unsigned short data[3564];' is wrong.
could You advise me how to read it?

···

Kind regards,
Vlad Danilov

Hello Vlad,

Please send me example HDF5 file and your current C code which you are trying to use to read that file and I will try to find a solution.

Rafal

Hello Rafal,
thank You for Your reply.

I found that i can use 'H5Tget_native_type' function, but i have another error.

First - the code itself:

it's not full code but the problem part. I have an errors in the line s tatus = H5Dread(dataset, memtype,H5S_ALL, H5S_ALL,/* memspace, filespace, */H5P_DEFAULT, read_data);

I would be very glad if you could give an advise in that case.
It seams like i have a wrong path to a filter 'blosc', but i can't find where the filters are.
After installation i passed all tests.

Kind regards,
Vlad

The problem solved, i just had to install 'blosc' filter and put it into default dir /usr/local/hdf5/lib/plugin
But i have a question, maybe it's a bit offtopic, but still - does somebody knows how to read PyTables in hdf5 format using C API?

thank You

Hi Vlad,

This PyTables page shows the output of a Pytables file (tutorial1.h5) using h5ls:
http://www.pytables.org/usersguide/tutorials.html

It is a compound datatype.

On the Examples by API page are C examples:
https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/examples/api-c.html

Under “Datatypes” is an example to “Read / Write Compound Datatypes (Dataset)”: h5ex_t_cmpd.c

Also, the High Level Table (H5TB) APIs allow you how to create and modify simple tables (compound datatypes) in HDF5. There is a tutorial here, in case that might help:

https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/Tutor/h5table.html
