Symbolic links with relative paths, refreshing an object, and reading a portion of an HDF5 file

Today Gerd handled questions from the forum about symbolic links and a post asking for help reading a portion of an HDF5 file that received multiple helpful responses from experienced HDF5 users. Gerd finally got to talk about HDF5 applications and clients in Cloud-based environments.

Call the Doctor is a series of weekly, unscripted, live events! The HDF Group’s Gerd Heber will try to answer attendee questions and, for example, go over the previous week’s HDF Forum posts. The HDF Clinics are free sessions intended to help users tackle real-world HDF problems from a common cold to severe headaches and offer relief where that’s possible. As time permits, we will include how-tos, offer advice on tool usage, review your code samples, teach you survival in the documentation jungle, and discuss what’s new or just around the corner in the land of HDF.
