HDF5 Identifier Interface: HDF5 Identifier Interface

Description

These functions provides tools for working with object identifiers and object names.

Usage

H5Iget_type(h5identifier)
H5Iget_name(h5obj)
H5Iis_valid(h5identifier)

Arguments

h5identifier

An object of class H5IdComponent representing a H5 identifier (file, group, dataset, dataspace, datatype, attribute). See e.g. H5Fcreate, H5Fopen, H5Gcreate, H5Gopen, H5Dcreate, H5Dopen to create an object of this kind.

h5obj

An object of class H5IdComponent representing a H5 object identifier (file, group, or dataset). See H5Fcreate, H5Fopen, H5Gcreate, H5Gopen, H5Dcreate, or H5Dopen to create an object of this kind.

Value

returns the type of the H5 identifier, H5Iget_name the name of the object, and H5Iis_valid checks if the object is a valid H5 identifier.

Details

Interface to the HDF5 C-library libhdf5. See http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5I.html for further details.

Examples

# create an hdf5 file and write something
h5createFile("ex_H5I.h5")
h5createGroup("ex_H5I.h5","foo")
B = array(seq(0.1,2.0,by=0.1),dim=c(5,2,2))
h5write(B, "ex_H5I.h5","foo/B")

# reopen file and dataset and get object info
fid <- H5Fopen("ex_H5I.h5")
oid = H5Oopen(fid, "foo")
H5Iget_type(oid)
H5Oclose(oid)
H5Fclose(fid)
