Detailed Description

The most generic and powerful I/O layer for the Fiber Bundle Class Library is achieved via HDF5.

This I/O layer is implemented in a separate group of classes which correspond to the main class hierarchy. This group of classes is compiled into a library independent from the main fiber bundle library. Once explicitely initialized, the fiber bundle library will be able to make use of the HDF5 I/O layer for load and save operations automatically.

The HDF5 Fiber I/O library may be compiled as a static or shared library, and as well be compiled as a VISH plugin. As VISH plugin, the initialization and registration within the fiber bundle library is done implicitely. As part of an application, explicit initialization is simple, just call Fiber::HDF5::init() or access the global boolean variable Fiber::HDF5::initialized .

Note

The data layout used in this I/O layer is interfaced through the independent F5 library. F5 is a C-only library which extends HDF5 to implement the data layout of the fiber bundle data model. This library may be used by independent applications to write and read HDF5 data in a fiber bundle compatible data layout. I.e., data written by this library can be read by this Fiber Bundle HDF5 I/O Layer.
