osobhandClaude Opus 5.5 bc820fbd8c fix(format): refuse path-like group and dataset names
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

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());
