This is a fork of sbinet's cgo bindings for the C-API of hdf5. The aim is to provide a more object-like API similar to the C++ and Java APIs of HDF5.

It is a work in progress and the API has not been finalized yet, so expect breakage.

• Hello world example: https://github.com/sbinet/go-hdf5/blob/master/cmd/test-go-hdf5/test-go-hdf5.go

• Writing/reading an hdf5 with compound data: https://github.com/sbinet/go-hdf5/blob/master/cmd/test-go-cpxcmpd/test-go-cpxcmpd.go

• Only version 1.8.x of HDF5 is supported.
• In order to use HDF5 functions in more than one goroutine simultaneously, you must build the HDF5 library with threading support. Many binary distributions (RHEL/centos/Fedora packages, etc.) do not have this enabled. Therefore, you must build HDF5 yourself on these systems.

• the h5pt packet table interface is broken.
