HDF5 Datatype Interface
These functions create and manipulate the datatype which describes elements of a dataset.
H5Tcopy (dtype_id = h5default(type = "H5T")) H5Tset_size (dtype_id = h5default(type = "H5T"), size) H5Tget_size (dtype_id) H5Tset_strpad(dtype_id, strpad = "NULLPAD") H5Tget_strpad(dtype_id)
dtype_id |
A character name of a datatype. See |
size |
The total size in bytes. |
strpad |
Character string repsenting the type of padding to be used. Valid options are 'NULLTERM', 'NULLPAD', 'SPACEPAD' |
Interface to the HDF5 C-library libhdf5. See https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/Datatypes for further details.
The functions return the standard return value from their respective C-functions.
