Every crate under crates/ now has a README (android, bench, cli, napi and wasm had none), each saying what the crate is, its main types and functions (names checked against the code), its cargo features with defaults and which ones build C (checked with `cargo tree`), and links to the top-level docs. Corrections to the old stubs: - clawhdf5-derive: the derive is `H5Type`, not `HDF5Type`, and it needs clawhdf5-format as a dependency. - clawhdf5-filters: deflate backends only, and no library crate depends on it; the filter pipeline and every other codec are in -format. - clawhdf5-gpu: vector distance compute, not I/O; not used by HDF5Memory::search. - clawhdf5-io: MpiVol is root-read + broadcast, not collective MPI-IO. - clawhdf5-ann: from_hdf5/search(q, k) did not exist; load_from_hdf5 and search(q, k, ef). - clawhdf5-accel: checksum::crc32_simd did not exist; the SSE4 and wasm backends are reported but run the scalar kernels. - clawhdf5-gpu: the old example called l2_distances, which does not exist (l2_search). - clawhdf5-agent: it described a "vector store" with "GPU acceleration"; it now covers HDF5Memory, search options, WAL, signing, the graph. - crates.io/docs.rs badges removed and `cargo install <crate>` replaced: nothing is published; depend on git. - fuzz: the opt-in CLAWHDF5_FUZZ_SECONDS smoke run in ci-test.sh. - tools: the FileEditor interop tests that live in this crate. - remote, py: license, other front ends, limits, File.mode/flush/chunks. The Rust examples of the facade, format, filters, accel, ann, derive and agent READMEs were compiled and run as tests (netcdf4, gpu and remote compiled only) in a scratch crate; the CLI example was run.

clawhdf5-netcdf4
Read NetCDF-4 files in pure Rust. NetCDF-4 files are HDF5 files with
conventions for dimensions, coordinate variables and attributes; this crate
reads them through the clawhdf5 facade, with no
libnetcdf or libhdf5. Read-only: NetCDF-3 (classic) files are not HDF5 and
are not supported.
Not on crates.io yet; depend on it from git:
[dependencies]
clawhdf5-netcdf4 = { git = "https://git.redclaw.dev/quantumclaw/clawhdf5" }
Usage
use clawhdf5_netcdf4::NetCDF4File;
let nc = NetCDF4File::open("climate.nc")?;
for dim in nc.dimensions()? {
println!("{}: {} (unlimited = {})", dim.name, dim.size, dim.is_unlimited);
}
let mut temp = nc.variable("temperature")?;
let dims: Vec<&str> = temp.dimensions().iter().map(|d| d.name.as_str()).collect();
println!("{:?} over {:?}", temp.shape()?, dims);
let cf = temp.cf_attributes()?;
println!("units: {:?}", cf.units);
// scale_factor/add_offset applied; _FillValue and missing_value become NaN
let values: Vec<f64> = temp.read_f64()?;
# Ok::<(), clawhdf5_netcdf4::Error>(())
API
| Item | What |
|---|---|
NetCDF4File |
open, from_bytes, dimensions, variables, variable, global_attrs, group, group_names, nc_properties, and hdf5_file for the underlying clawhdf5::File |
NetCDF4Group |
the same for a sub-group (dimensions, variables, attrs, nested group) |
Variable |
name, shape, dimensions, nc_type, is_coordinate, attrs, cf_attributes; read_f64 (CF scale/offset and fill applied), read_raw_f32/_f64/_i32/_i64/_u64, read_string, read_raw |
Dimension |
name, size, is_unlimited |
CfAttributes |
CF convention attributes: units, long_name, standard_name, fill_value (_FillValue), missing_value, scale_factor, add_offset, valid_range, calendar, axis |
NcType |
the NetCDF type of a variable |
No cargo features. Tests compare against files written by netCDF4-python
(tests/interop_tests.rs; the CI job requires them with
CLAWHDF5_REQUIRE_INTEROP=1). What the HDF5 reader underneath cannot
read is listed in docs/known-issues.md.
