Hello, I am working on creating a custom VOL plugin, and I have trouble understanding how the h5dump determines the contents of the file.
Say for example that we have a file with two groups, like: /group1/group2. I noticed that initially it calls native_file_get to get the structure containing information about accessing the file and then it calls native_group_open and native_group_get for each group in the file, so it would call: 1) native_file_open 2) native_group_open and native_group_get for “/“ 3) native_group_open and native_group_get for “group1“ 4) native_group_open and native_group_get for group2“ I understand that the VOL plugin developer is responsible for representing the contents of the file, but how does the h5dump tool know that the file contains these groups, and calls native_group_open and native_group_get for each of them? Many thanks in advance, Dimos _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
