HDF5 Files

Of the increasingly popular HDF5-based formats for geophysical data, only ASDF is supported at present. Support for other (sub)formats is planned.

S = read_hdf5(fname::String, s::TimeSpec, t::TimeSpec, [, KWs])
read_hdf5!(S::GphysData, fname::String, s::TimeSpec, t::TimeSpec, [, KWs])
Read data in seismic HDF5 file format from file fname into S.

KWs
Keyword arguments; see also SeisIO standard KWs or type ?SeisIO.KW.

This has one fundamental design difference from read_data: HDF5 archives are assumed to be large files with data from multiple channels; they are scanned selectively for data of interest to read, rather than read into memory in their entirety.

Supported Keywords

(a) A question mark (‘?’) is a wildcard for a single character (exactly one); an asterisk (‘*’) is a wildcard for zero or more characters.

Writing to HDF5 volumes is supported through write_hdf5, described in Writing to File.
