[ET Trac] [Einstein Toolkit] #286: Writing/reading grid structure should be explicit operations

#286: Writing/reading grid structure should be explicit operations -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eschnett | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Carpet | Version: Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Carpet should offer explicit routines to write and read all grid structure metadata. One method could be to serialise this information to a string that can then either be written to HDF5 (as is done now), or could be interpreted by post-processing scripts.

This would clean up checkpointing, and would also allow reading/writing arbitrary grid functions at a later time.
