FileWriter writes the root group plus one level of groups; it has no way
to create intermediate groups. create_group("a/b") therefore stored a
single link literally named "a/b", which no HDF5 reader can resolve
(h5py: "component not found"). Nesting would mean restructuring the
writer's layout around a group tree, so for now finish() rejects any
group, dataset or external-link name that is empty, "." or contains '/'.
Attribute names may still contain '/'.

clawhdf5-format
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_stdsupport (disablestdfeature)- 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());
