<title>HDF5 Table Specification</title>
</head>
The HDF5 specification defines the standard objects and storage for the
standard HDF5 objects. (For information about the HDF5 library, model and
specification, see the HDF documentation.)&nbsp; This document is an additional
specification do define a standard profile for how to store tables in HDF5.
Table data in HDF5 is stored as HDF5 datasets with standard attributes to define
the properties of the tables.
<h2>
1. Overview</h2>
A generic table is a sequence of records, each record has a name and a type.
Table data is stored as an HDF5 one dimensional compound dataset.&nbsp; A table
is defined as a collection of records whose values are stored in fixed-length
fields. All records have the same structure and all values in each field have
the same data type.
<p>The dataset for a table is distinguished from other datasets by giving
it an attribute &quot;CLASS=TABLE&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Optional attributes allow the storage of a title for the Table and for
each column, and a fill value for each column.
<h2>
2.&nbsp; Table Attributes</h2>
The attributes for the Table are strings.&nbsp;They are written with the <a href="RM_H5LT.html#H5LTset_attribute_string"><code>H5LTset_attribute_string</code></a>
Lite API function.&nbsp; "Required" attributes must always be used. "Optional" attributes
must be used when required.
<br>&nbsp;
<h4>
Attributes</h4>
<dl>
<dt>
Attribute name="<b>CLASS</b>" (Required)</dt>
<dd>
This attribute is type H5T_C_S1, with size 5.</dd>
<dd>
For all Tables, the value of this attribute is &quot;TABLE&quot;.</dd>
<dd>
This attribute identifies this data set as intended to be interpreted as Table that conforms to the specifications on this page.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
Attribute name="<b>VERSION</b>" (Required)
<dd>
This attribute is of type H5T_C_S1, with size corresponding to the length
of the version string.&nbsp; This attribute identifies the version number
of this specification to which it conforms.&nbsp; The current version number
is &quot;0.2&quot;.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>
Attribute name="<b>TITLE</b>" (Optional)</dt>
<dd>
The <b>TITLE</b> is an optional String that is to be used as the
informative title of the whole table.
The <b>TITLE</b> is set with the parameter <code> table_title</code> of the function
<a href="RM_H5TB.html#H5TBmake_table"> <code> H5TBmake_table</code></a>.&nbsp;</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>
Attribute name="<b>FIELD_(n)_NAME</b>" (Required)</dt>
<dd>
The <b>FIELD_(n)_NAME</b> is an optional String that is to be used as the
informative title of column <b>n</b> of the table.
For each of the fields the word FIELD_ is concatenated with
the zero based field (n) index together with the name of the field.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>
Attribute name="<b>FIELD_(n)_FILL</b>" (Optional)</dt>
<dd>
The <b>FIELD_(n)_FILL</b> is an optional String that is the fill value for
column <b>n</b> of the table.
For each of the fields the word FIELD_ is concatenated with
the zero based field (n) index together with the fill value, if present.
This value is written only when a fill value is defined for the table.</dd>

<i>* </i>The attribute FIELD_(n)_FILL is written to the table if a fill value is
specified on the creation of the Table. Otherwise, it is not.<p>The following
section of code shows the calls necessary to the creation of a table.
<p><code>/* Create a new HDF5 file using default properties. */<br>
file_id = H5Fcreate( &quot;my_table.h5&quot;, H5F_ACC_TRUNC, H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT );</code> </p>
<p><code>/* Call the make table function */<br>
</code> <code>H5TBmake_table( "Table Title", file_id, "Table1", NFIELDS, NRECORDS, dst_size,&nbsp;<br>
field_names, dst_offset, field_type,&nbsp;<br>
chunk_size, fill_data, compress, p_data )&nbsp;</code> </p>
<p><code> /* Close the file. */<br>
status = H5Fclose( file_id );</code> </p>
