If I want to tell another process to create a dataset using (for example) H5T_NATIVE_LONG or some other, is there an easy way of going from an identifier to a datatype.
I'm guessing no, because in h5dump, there is a somewhat laborious construction for going to/from a string...
} else if (H5Tequal(type, H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR)==TRUE) {
printf("H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR");
} else if (H5Tequal(type, H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR)==TRUE) {
printf("H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR");
} else if (H5Tequal(type, H5T_NATIVE_SHORT)==TRUE) {
printf("H5T_NATIVE_SHORT");
} else if (H5Tequal(type, H5T_NATIVE_USHORT)==TRUE) {
printf("H5T_NATIVE_USHORT");
} else if (H5Tequal(type, H5T_NATIVE_INT)==TRUE) {
Is there no utility function anywhere that does a DataTypeFromString and DataTypeToString kind of translation?
Or is there another easy way of doing it?
Thanks
JB

John,
Please take a look at the H5Tencode http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5T.html#Datatype-Encode and H5Tdecode functions.

John,
Please take a look at the H5Tencode http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5T.html#Datatype-Encode and H5Tdecode functions.
Possibly the H5LTdtype_to_text and H5LTtext_to_dtype, also.

Thanks for both these options. The _to_text _to_dtype looks like it's just what I'm after.
