inconsistent/conflicting description of default configurations for hdf5 handler  #2

Description

@Mikejmnez

I found the following information for creating dmrpp files from hdf5 dataset quoted below:

Here are some of the commonly manipulated configuration parameters with their default values:

 H5.EnableCF=true
 H5.EnableDMR64bitInt=true
 H5.DefaultHandleDimension=true
 H5.KeepVarLeadingUnderscore=false
 H5.EnableCheckNameClashing=true
 H5.EnableAddPathAttrs=true
 H5.EnableDropLongString=true
 H5.DisableStructMetaAttr=true
 H5.EnableFillValueCheck=true
 H5.CheckIgnoreObj=false

however, below on 5.4. The H5.EnableCF subsection ( a short scroll below the section referenced in the link above) you get the following text:

By default get_dmrpp the H5.EnableCF option is set to false:

 H5.EnableCF = false

So this is, to me clearly inconsistent. I had a chat with @ndp-opendap and the default value IS False. We need to then:

  • Replace with H5.EnableCF=false in the first case above.
  • Check for all the other options, and make sure that indeed these are the default values. If incorrect, replace with their actual default values.
