C语言读取HDF5文件

包含hdf5头文件

#include "hdf5.h"

有关hdf5文件在vs中的配置请参考：安装HDF5及在VS下配置HDF5 - 心媛意码 - 博客园

1.打开文件

 hid_t file_id;
file_id = H5Fopen("文件路径", H5F_ACC_RDONLY, H5P_DEFAULT);

2.对未知文件要遍历H5文件结构，查看文件有那些dataset

 herr_t status;

status = H5Ovisit(file_id, H5_INDEX_NAME, H5_ITER_NATIVE, op_func, NULL, H5O_INFO_ALL);

herr_t op_func(hid_t loc_id, const char* name, const H5O_info_t* info,void*operator_data)
{
    printf("/");               /* Print root group in object path */

    /*
     * Check if the current object is the root group, and if not print
     * the full path name and type.
     */
    if (name[0] == '.')         /* Root group, do not print '.' */
        printf("  (Group)\n");
    else
        switch (info->type) {
        case H5O_TYPE_GROUP:
            printf("%s  (Group)\n", name);
            break;
        case H5O_TYPE_DATASET:
            printf("%s  (Dataset)\n", name);
            break;
        case H5O_TYPE_NAMED_DATATYPE:
            printf("%s  (Datatype)\n", name);
            break;
        default:
            printf("%s  (Unknown)\n", name);
        }

    return 0;
}

3.打开数据集dataset

hid_t dataset_id;
dataset_id = H5Dopen(file_id, "dataset", H5P_DEFAULT);

4.查看数据集dataset中数据的类型以及元数据的字节大小

hid_t dtype;
int len;
dtype = H5Dget_type(dataset_id);
len = H5Tget_size(dtype);

5.查看数据集dataset维度，以及每个维度的大小

int dims[];
int ndims;
hid_t space = H5Dget_space(dataset_id);
ndims = H5Sget_simple_extent_dims(space, dims, maxdims);

6.读取数据

char* data = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char) *dims[0]*dims[1]*...dims[ndims-1]);//根据数据类型分配相应的空间
status = H5Dread(dataset_id, H5T_NATIVE_CHAR, H5S_ALL, H5S_ALL, H5P_DEFAULT, data);
