Expand description
HDF5 Symbol Table Entry and Symbol Table Node (SNOD).
Symbol table entries appear in the superblock (root group) and inside symbol table nodes. Each entry maps a link-name offset (within a local heap) to an object header address, with optional scratch-pad data for group B-tree/heap addresses or symbolic link values.
Symbol table nodes (SNOD) are the leaf containers for these entries and are stored at addresses referenced by v1 B-tree group nodes.
