hdf5 is a wrapper for the HDF5 library

GoBSD-3-Clause

hdf5

Naive cgo bindings for the C-API of hdf5.

WIP: No stable API for this package yet.

NOTE that starting with Go >= 1.6, one needs to run with GODEBUG=cgocheck=0 to disable the new stricter CGo rules.

Example

Hello world example: cmd/test-go-hdf5/main.go
Writing/reading an hdf5 with compound data: cmd/test-go-cpxcmpd/main.go

Note

Only version 1.8.x of HDF5 is supported.
In order to use HDF5 functions in more than one goroutine simultaneously, you must build the HDF5 library with threading support. Many binary distributions (RHEL/centos/Fedora packages, etc.) do not have this enabled. Therefore, you must build HDF5 yourself on these systems.

Known problems

the h5pt packet table interface is broken.
support for structs with slices and strings as fields is broken
