hdf5.plist.create {rhdf5}R Documentation

Create an HDF5 property list.

Description

The HDF5 library provides a general means of interacting with files through a property list. We provide some simple tools for interacting with that property list.

Usage

hdf5.plist.create(type, ...)
hdf5.get.default.plist()
hdf5.plist.set.cache(plist, bytes)

Arguments

type Is one of file.create, file.access, dataset, dataset.xfer, mount
... Additional parameters depending upon the value of the first argument.
plist An instance of the hdf5.proplist class.
bytes The size of the cache in bytes.

Details

Arguments are passed through the HDF5 library routines for each of these. Property lists provide mechanisms for controlling file creation, file access, dataset creation, dataset transfer and mounting.

Value

An object of class hdf5.proplist. This can be used to control the different interactions as described above and as described in section H5P of the HDF5 libray reference.

Note

This interface could use some work.
