Hi Martijn,
if you use h5ls, then it will indicate named data types as being
"shared" such as:
h5ls -rv
LOD.f5/t=000000000.0000000000/Triangulation/Faces/Points/Positions
Opened "LOD.f5" with sec2 driver.
t=000000000.0000000000/Triangulation/Faces/Points/Positions Dataset
{94525/94525}
Location: 1:1442029
Links: 1
Modified: 2014-09-17 01:34:18 Central Daylight Time
Storage: 1134300 logical bytes, 1134300 allocated bytes, 100.00%
utilization
Type: shared-1:1440965 struct {
"i" +0 native 32-bit field
"j" +4 native 32-bit field
"k" +8 native 32-bit field
} 12 bytes
If you do an h5ls on the type itself, it will show its attributes and
the shared-identifier as well:
h5ls -rv LOD.f5/Charts/triangular/SinglePrecision/Point
Opened "LOD.f5" with sec2 driver.
Charts/triangular/SinglePrecision/Point Type
Attribute: ChartDomain scalar
Type: 11-byte null-terminated ASCII string
Data: "triangular"
Attribute: F5::CellDimensionality scalar
Type: native int
Data: 2
Attribute: MemoryOrder {3}
Type: native int
Data: 1, 0, -1
Location: 1:1440965

"j" +4 native 32-bit field

Cheers,

Hi all,
I'd like to be able to tell in HDFView/h5dump when a dataset has a
committed datatype. Ideally I'd like a path to the committed type be
provided (a la H5Iget_name), but it would be sufficient to identify it
as being a committed type. It would be very useful to me for the
debugging tools to display this and not have to use my tools to check
their files.
I'm using committed types to implement a type of units handling, and
it works great, except that the standard tools are not very helpful in
working with them. It would be excellent to add this feature to
HDFView and/or h5dump, but I would also be interested in other
approaches and/or workarounds.
Cheers,
Martijn
