h5::char_buf

#include <h5/stl/string.hpp>

Detailed Description

Stores an arbitrary number of strings in a 1-dimensional std::vector<char>.

Each string is assumed to have the same length. If a string is shorter than this length, it is padded with zeros. The lengths member should have the following entries: the number of strings in each dimension and the max. allowed length of the strings + 1. For example, if the original strings are stored in a 2-dimensional array of size MxN and the longest string is of length L, then lengths = {M, N, L+1}.

The HDF5 datatype is a fixed-length string of size lengths.back() and the HDF5 dataspace is an n-dimensional array of fixed-sized strings.
