PetscViewerHDF5Open

Opens a file for HDF5 input/output.

Synopsis

#include "petscviewerhdf5.h"   
PetscErrorCode  PetscViewerHDF5Open(MPI_Comm comm, const char name[], PetscFileMode type, PetscViewer *hdf5v)
Collective

Input Parameters

comm - MPI communicator
name - name of file
type - type of file

Output Parameter

hdf5v - PetscViewer for HDF5 input/output to use with the specified file

Options Database

-viewer_hdf5_base_dimension2 - turns on (true) or off (false) using a dimension of 2 in the HDF5 file even if the bs/dof of the vector is 1
-viewer_hdf5_sp_output - forces (if true) the viewer to write data in single precision independent on the precision of PetscReal

Notes

Reading is always available, regardless of the mode. Available modes are
FILE_MODE_READ - open existing HDF5 file for read only access, fail if file does not exist [H5Fopen() with H5F_ACC_RDONLY]
FILE_MODE_WRITE - if file exists, fully overwrite it, else create new HDF5 file [H5FcreateH5Fcreate() with H5F_ACC_TRUNC]
FILE_MODE_APPEND - if file exists, keep existing contents [H5Fopen() with H5F_ACC_RDWR], else create new HDF5 file [H5FcreateH5Fcreate() with H5F_ACC_EXCL]
FILE_MODE_UPDATE - same as FILE_MODE_APPEND

In case of FILE_MODE_APPEND / FILE_MODE_UPDATE, any stored object (dataset, attribute) can be selectively ovewritten if the same fully qualified name (/group/path/to/object) is specified.

This PetscViewer should be destroyed with PetscViewerDestroy().
