Packet Table API missing in the HDF5 build 1.8.5

Hi,

I'm using HDF5 for my application where I need to use packet table for
storing and retrieval of the data.

But, Current Build(1.8.5) at my machine for HDF5 doesn't contain a C++ API
'H5PTCreatetable_Vl' for packet table.

Will you please let me know how I can be able to get the same or any other
alternative for the same?

Best Regards,
Santosh

If you search back the email list to
"Attempting a packet table with compound datatype with variable length strings"

you'll see some example c code that does it. The high level c API's http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/HL/RM_H5PT.html have more of the functionality that I've needed. It uses H5PTcreate_fl instead of the vl now.

This code produces vlen packet table but the only access I've found is the h5dump tool which shows it succeeds.

The http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/HL/RM_H5PT_c++.html c++ Wrapper for packets I haven't tried. Its class nameology have

    * *PacketTable* - functions shared by all packet tables
    * *FL_PacketTable* - a packet table storing fixed-length packets

I've never tried them and haven't built hdf5 for it.
