<dt><a href="https://docs.hdfgroup.org/hdf5/develop/_s_p_e_c.html">HDF5 File Format Specification</a>
</dt><dd>This describes the current HDF5 file format.
</dd></dl>
</li><li><h3><u>Introduction:</u></h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>What is this document about?</strong></dt>
<dd>This document attempts to explain the HDF5 file format
specification with a few examples and describes some potential
improvements to the format specification.
</dd> <br>
</dl>
</li><li><h3><u>File Format Examples:</u></h3>
<p>This section has several small programs and describes the format of a file
created with each of them.
</p>
<p>Example program one - <em>Create an empty file</em>:
</p><pre> <code>
#include "hdf5.h"
#include <assert.h>
int main()
{
hid_t fid; /* File ID */
herr_t ret; /* Generic return value */
/* Create the file */
fid=H5Fcreate("example1.h5", H5F_ACC_TRUNC, H5P_DEFAULT, H5P_DEFAULT);
assert(fid&gt;=0);
/* Close the file */
ret=H5Fclose(fid);
assert(ret&gt;=0);
return(0);
}
</assert.h></code> </pre>
