Re: HDF5 NetCDF4 CDM - bit manipulation

[Russ Rew <russ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

I believe HDF5 plans were to implement the "bitfield packing" filter
described at the end of this RFC by Quincey Koziol:

  http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/NBitPacking/NBitPacking.html

It's also my understanding that this would be in the HDF5 1.8 release,
but I'm not as sure about that.
