Low-level HDF5 “H5G” group interface.
Open an existing HDF5 group, attached to some other group.
Create a new group, under a given parent group. If name is None, an anonymous group will be created in the file.
Iterate a callable (function, method or callable object) over the members of a group. Your callable should have the signature:
func(STRING name) => Result
Returning None continues iteration; returning anything else aborts iteration and returns that value. Keywords:
Obtain information about a named object. If “name” is provided, “obj” is taken to be a GroupID object containing the target. The return value is a GroupStat object; see that class’s docstring for a description of its attributes.
If follow_link is True (default) and the object is a symbolic link, the information returned describes its target. Otherwise the information describes the link itself.
Represents the H5G_stat_t structure containing group member info.
Fields (read-only):
“Uniquely identifying” means unique among currently open files, not universally unique.
Represents an HDF5 group identifier
Python extensions:
If HDF5 1.8.X is used, the attribute “links” contains a proxy object providing access to the H5L family of routines. See the docs for h5py.h5l.LinkProxy for more information.
Retrieve the comment for a group member.
Retrieve the value (target name) of a symbolic link. Limited to 2048 characters on Windows.
Get the number of objects directly attached to a given group.
Get the name of a group member given its zero-based index.
Get the type of an object attached to a group, given its zero-based index. Possible return values are:
Create a new hard or soft link. current_name identifies the link target (object the link will point to). The new link is identified by new_name and (optionally) another group “remote”.
Link types are:
Relink an object. current_name identifies the object. new_name and (optionally) another group “remote” determine where it should be moved.
Set the comment on a group member.
Remove a link to an object from this group.
