H5Tset_cset(
hid_t dtype_id,
H5T_cset_t cset
)
H5Tset_cset sets the character set to be used
in a dataset with a string or character datatype.
Valid values for cset include the following:
H5T_CSET_ASCII
| Character set is US ASCII. | ||
H5T_CSET_UTF8
| Character set is UTF-8, enabling UTF-8 Unicode encoding. |
For example, if the character set for the datatype
dtype_id is set to
H5T_CSET_UTF8,
string or character data of datatype dtype_id
will be encoded using the UTF-8 Unicode character set.
ASCII and UTF-8 Unicode are the only currently supported character encodings. Extended ASCII encodings (for example, ISO 8859) are not supported. This encoding policy is not enforced by the HDF5 Library. Using encodings other than ASCII and UTF-8 can lead to compatibility and usability problems.
Note that H5Tset_cset sets the character set for
a character or string datatype while
H5Pset_char_encoding
sets the character set used for an HDF5 link or attribute name.

- herr_t
H5Tset_offset( hid_tdtype_id, size_toffset) - Purpose:
- Sets the bit offset of the first significant bit.
- Description:
H5Tset_offsetsets the bit offset of the first significant bit. The significant bits of an atomic datum can be offset from the beginning of the memory for that datum by an amount of padding. Theoffsetproperty specifies the number of bits of padding that appear “to the right of” the value. That is, if we have a 32-bit datum with 16-bits of precision having the value0x1122, then it will be laid out in memory as (from small byte address toward larger byte addresses):
Byte Position Big-Endian Offset=0 Big-Endian Offset=16 Little-Endian Offset=0 Little-Endian Offset=16 0 [ pad] [0x11] [0x22] [ pad] 1 [ pad] [0x22] [0x11] [ pad] 2 [0x11] [ pad] [ pad] [0x22] 3 [0x22] [ pad] [ pad] [0x11] If the offset is incremented then the total size is incremented also if necessary to prevent significant bits of the value from hanging over the edge of the datatype.
The offset of an H5T_STRING cannot be set to anything but zero.
- Parameters:
hid_t dtype_idIN: Identifier of datatype to set. size_t offsetIN: Offset of first significant bit. - Returns:
- Returns a non-negative value if successful;
otherwise returns a negative value.

H5Tset_order( hid_tdtype_id, H5T_order_torder) - Purpose:
- Sets the byte order of a datatype.
- Description:
H5Tset_ordersets the byte order of a datatype.Byte order can currently be set to any of the following:
H5T_ORDER_LE(0)- Little-endian byte order
H5T_ORDER_BE(1)- Big-endian byte order
H5T_ORDER_VAX(2)- VAX mixed byte order
H5T_ORDER_MIXED(3) is a valid value fororderonly when returned by the functionH5Tget_order; it cannot be set withH5Tset_order.H5T_ORDER_NONE(4) is a valid value fororder, but it has no effect. It is valid only for fixed-length strings and object and region references and specifies “no particular order.”The byte order of a derived datatype is initially the same as that of the parent type, but can be changed with
H5Tset_order.This function cannot be used with a datatype after it has been committed.
Special considerations:
ENUM datatypes: Byte order must be set before any member on an ENUM is defined.Compound datatypes: Byte order is set individually on each member of a compound datatype; members of a compound datatype need not have the same byte order.
Opaque datatypes: Byte order can be set but has no effect.
- Parameters:
hid_t dtype_idIN: Identifier of datatype to set. H5T_order_t orderIN: Byte order constant. - Returns:
- Returns a non-negative value if successful;
otherwise returns a negative value.

H5Tset_precision( hid_tdtype_id, size_tprecision) - Purpose:
- Sets the precision of an atomic datatype.
- Description:
H5Tset_precisionsets the precision of an atomic datatype. The precision is the number of significant bits which, unless padding is present, is 8 times larger than the value returned byH5Tget_size.If the precision is increased then the offset is decreased and then the size is increased to insure that significant bits do not "hang over" the edge of the datatype.
Changing the precision of an H5T_STRING automatically changes the size as well. The precision must be a multiple of 8.
When decreasing the precision of a floating point type, set the locations and sizes of the sign, mantissa, and exponent fields first.
- Parameters:
hid_t dtype_idIN: Identifier of datatype to set. size_t precisionIN: Number of bits of precision for datatype. - Returns:
- Returns a non-negative value if successful;
otherwise returns a negative value.

H5Tset_size( hid_tdtype_id, size_tsize) - Purpose:
- Sets the total size for a datatype.
- Description:
H5Tset_sizesets the total size in bytes,size, for a datatype.The parameter
sizemust have a positive value, unless it is passed asH5T_VARIABLEand the datatype is a string datatype.Numeric datatypes: If the datatype is atomic and the size is decreased so that significant bits of the datatype extend beyond the edge of the new size, then the
offsetproperty of the datatype is decreased toward zero. If theoffsetbecomes zero and the significant bits of the datatype still hang over the edge of the new size, then the number of significant bits is decreased.String or character datatypes: The
sizeset for a string datatype should include space for the null-terminator character, otherwise it will not be stored on (or retrieved from) disk. Adjusting thesizeof a string automatically sets the precision to 8*size.Variable-length string datatypes: If
dtype_idis a variable-length string,sizemust normally be set toH5T_VARIABLE. See “Creating variable-length string datatypes”.Compound datatypes: This function may be used to increase or decrease the size of a compound datatype, but the function will fail if the new size is too small to accommodate all member fields.
Ineligible datatypes: This function cannot be used with enumerated datatypes (
H5T_ENUM), array datatypes (H5T_ARRAY), variable-length array datatypes (H5T_VLEN), or reference datatypes (H5T_REFERENCE).- Parameters:
hid_t dtype_idIN: Identifier of datatype for which the size is being changed size_t sizeIN: New datatype size in bytes or H5T_VARIABLE- Returns:
- Returns a non-negative value if successful;

H5Tset_strpad( hid_tdtype_id, H5T_str_tstrpad) - Purpose:
- Defines the type of padding used for character strings.
- Description:
H5Tset_strpaddefines the type of padding used for a string datatype.The method used to store character strings differs with the programming language:
- C usually null terminates strings while
- Fortran left-justifies and space-pads strings.
Valid values of
strpadare as follows:H5T_STR_NULLTERM(0)- Null terminate (as C does).
H5T_STR_NULLPAD(1)- Pad with zeros.
H5T_STR_SPACEPAD(2)- Pad with spaces (as FORTRAN does).
When converting from a longer string to a shorter string, the behavior is as follows. If the shorter string is
H5T_STR_NULLPADorH5T_STR_SPACEPAD, then the string is simply truncated. If the short string isH5T_STR_NULLTERM, it is truncated and a null terminator is appended.When converting from a shorter string to a longer string, the longer string is padded on the end by appending nulls or spaces.
- Parameters:
hid_t dtype_idIN: Identifier of datatype to modify. H5T_str_t strpadIN: String padding type. - Returns:

H5Tvlen_create( hid_tbase_type_id) - Purpose:
- Creates a new variable-length array datatype.
- Description:
H5Tvlen_createcreates a new one-dimensional array datatype of variable-length (VL) with the base datatypebase_type_id.This one-dimensional array often represents a data sequence of the base datatype, such as characters for character sequences or vertex coordinates for polygon lists. The base type specified for the VL datatype can be any HDF5 datatype, including another VL datatype, a compound datatype, or an atomic datatype.
When necessary, use
H5Tget_superto determine the base type of the VL datatype.The datatype identifier returned from this function should be released with
H5Tcloseor resource leaks will result. Under certain circumstances,H5Dvlen_reclaimmust also be used.- Note:
H5Tvlen_createcannot be used to create a variable-length string datatype.H5Tvlen_createcalled with a string or character base type creates a variable-length sequence of strings (a variable-length, 1-dimensional array), with each element of the array being of the string or character base type.To create a variable-length string datatype, see “Creating variable-length string datatypes.”
- Parameters:
