DESCRIPTION

       h5ar is a HDF5 archiver, which can create an HDF5 archive, extract it and manipulate it in
       various ways. It does to by calling an executable jar file.

   Modes (command capitalization ignored):
              ARCHIVE (AR, A): add files on the file system to an archive (always recursive)
              CAT (C): extract files from an archive to stdout
              EXTRACT (EX, E):  extract  files  from  an  archive  to  the  file  system  (always

              DELETE (REMOVE, RM, D): delete files from an archive
              LIST (LS, S): list files in an archive
              VERIFY  (VF, V): verify the existence and integrity of files on the file system vs.
              the contents of an archive

EXAMPLES

              h5ar ar /tmp/home -r ~/ .

              - will create home.h5ar in /tmp containing all files of the user's  home  directory
              (note: ARCHIVE is always recursive).

              h5ar ls -v -R -t -S /tmp/home

              -  will  list  the  full  content  of archive /tmp/home.h5ar recursively, with full
              detail and verify the checksums; stop if there is a checksum mismatch.

              h5ar vf -r ~/ -v -R -m /tmp/home foo bar

              - will verify the contents of directories foo/ and bar/ in  archive  /tmp/home.h5ar
              recursively against the user's home directory, detecting any missing files.
