<i>In general, each FORTRAN90 subroutine performs exactly the same task
|
|
as the corresponding C function. The links below go to the C function
|
|
descriptions, which serve as general descriptions for both. A button,
|
|
under <strong>Non-C API(s)</strong> at the end of the C function description,
|
|
opens an external browser window displaying the FORTRAN90-specific
|
|
information. You will probably want to adjust the size and location of
|
|
this external window so that both browser windows are visible and to
|
|
facilitate moving easily between them.</i>

<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
|
|
<dd>Creates a dataset at the specified location.
|
|
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
|
|
<dd><code>H5Dcreate</code> creates a data set with a name,
|
|
<code>name</code>, in the file or in the group specified by
|
|
the identifier <code>loc_id</code>.
|
|
The dataset has the datatype and dataspace identified by
|
|
<code>type_id</code> and <code>space_id</code>, respectively.
|
|
The specified datatype and dataspace are the datatype and
|
|
dataspace of the dataset as it will exist in the file,
|
|
which may be different than in application memory.
|
|
Dataset creation properties are specified by the argument
|
|
<code>create_plist_id</code>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Dataset names within a group are unique:
|
|
<code>H5Dcreate</code> will return an error if a dataset with
|
|
the name specified in <code>name</code> already exists at the
|
|
location specified in <code>loc_id</code>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code>create_plist_id</code> is a <code>H5P_DATASET_CREATE</code>
|
|
property list created with <code>H5Pcreate()</code> and
|
|
initialized with the various functions described above.
|
|
<code>H5Dcreate()</code> returns a dataset identifier for success
|
|
or negative for failure. The identifier should eventually be
|
|
closed by calling <code>H5Dclose()</code> to release resources
|
|
it uses.
|
|
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>loc_id</code>

<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
|
|
<dd><code>H5Dvlen_reclaim</code> reclaims memory buffers created to
|
|
store VL datatypes.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>type_id</code> must be the datatype stored in the buffer.
|
|
The <code>space_id</code> describes the selection for the memory buffer
|
|
to free the VL datatypes within.
|
|
The <code>plist_id</code> is the dataset transfer property list which
|
|
was used for the I/O transfer to create the buffer.
|
|
And <code>buf</code> is the pointer to the buffer to be reclaimed.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The VL structures (<code>hvl_t</code>) in the user's buffer are
|
|
modified to zero out the VL information after the memory has been reclaimed.
|
|
<p>
|
|
If nested VL datatypes were used to create the buffer,
|
|
this routine frees them <em>from the bottom up</em>, releasing all
|
|
the memory without creating memory leaks.
|
|
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>
|
|
<dd>Identifier of the datatype.
|
|
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>

|
|
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>plist_id</code>

|
<dd><code>H5Dread</code> reads a (partial) dataset, specified by its
|
|
identifier <code>dataset_id</code>, from the file into the

application memory buffer <code>buf</code>.
|

Data transfer properties are defined by the argument

The memory datatype of the (partial) dataset is identified by

the identifier <code>mem_type_id</code>.

|
|
<p>
|
|
<code>file_space_id</code> can be the constant <code>H5S_ALL</code>,
|
|
which indicates that the entire file data space is to be referenced.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code>mem_space_id</code> can be the constant <code>H5S_ALL</code>,
|
|
in which case the memory data space is the same as the file data space
|
|
defined when the dataset was created.
|
|
<p>
|
|
The number of elements in the memory data space must match
|
|
the number of elements in the file data space.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code>xfer_plist_id</code> can be the constant <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code>,
|
|
in which case the default data transfer properties are used.

|
|
Datatype conversion takes place at the time of a read or write

The selection in the dataspace is modified so that any elements

already iterated over are removed from the selection if the

|
iteration is interrupted (by the <code>H5D_operator_t</code>
|
|
function returning non-zero) before the iteration is complete;

the iteration may then be re-started by the user where it left off.

<dl>
|
|
<dt><em>void *</em><code>buf</code>

|
<code>buf</code>.
|
|
<dt><em>hid_t </em><code>space_id</code>
|
|
<dd>IN: Dataspace identifier for <code>buf</code>.
|
|
Also contains the selection to iterate over.
|
|
<dt><em>H5D_operator_t </em><code>operator</code>
|
|

for each element in <code>buf</code> iterated over.

|
|
<dd>IN/OUT: Pointer to any user-defined data associated
|
|
with the operation.
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
|
|
<dd>Returns the return value of the last operator if it was non-zero,
