Atomic Data Types

• The library has predefined native atomic types:

  H5T_NATIVE_CHAR H5T_NATIVE_INT8
  
  H5T_NATIVE_USHORT H5T_NATIVE_UINT16
  H5T_NATIVE_INT H5T_NATIVE_INT32
  H5T_NATIVE_LONG H5T_NATIVE_LLONG
  H5T_NATIVE_FLOAT H5T_NATIVE_FLOAT32
  H5T_NATIVE_DOUBLE H5T_NATIVE_FLOAT64
  H5T_NATIVE_STRING H5T_NATIVE_TIME
  H5T_NATIVE_DATE H5T_NATIVE_BITFIELD
  H5T_NATIVE_OPAQUE H5T_NATIVE_INT64

• Some non­native types will be added for common architectures.

• New types can be derived from existing types
