osobhandClaude Opus 5.5 45d617c39e docs: say when a selection read decodes more than the selection
The READMEs said ds[...] reads only the selected elements, and the
facade's read_selection docs that only intersecting chunks are
decompressed. The bounding-box path runs only when the box covers at
most half the dataset; larger boxes (any strided slice across the
dataset), compact, virtual and unwritten datasets and chunked ones with
a non-default fill value decode the whole dataset. The READMEs, the
facade and format docs, the bindings' docstrings and known-issues now
say so, and how index lists are read.

clawhdf5-format

crates.io docs.rs

Pure-Rust HDF5 binary format parsing and writing — no C dependencies.

Features

  • Zero-copy superblock, object header, and B-tree parsing
  • Chunked dataset read/write with filter pipelines
  • no_std support (disable std feature)
  • Optional parallel reads via Rayon
  • SHA-256 provenance tracking

Usage

use clawhdf5_format::Superblock;

let data = std::fs::read("data.h5").unwrap();
let sb = Superblock::from_bytes(&data).unwrap();
println!("HDF5 version {}.{}", sb.version_major(), sb.version_minor());
