Thanks for your response!

So this mean that the h5dump has to look within the structure representing
the HDF5 container so that to display the contents, right?

Also I noticed that the h5dump first calls native_file_open, then returns
and then calls native_group_open for each group. Does this mean that it
opens the file in the native_file_open, gets the structure with information
about the file, closes the file and then calls native_group_open without
re-opening the file, but only with that structure?

Thanks,

Dimos
