Datasets

Creating and manipulating scientific datasets

• H5D_CLOSE — Closes the specified dataset
• H5D_CREATE — Creates a new dataset and links it to a location in the file
• H5D_CREATE_ANON — Creates a dataset in a file without linking it into the file structure
• H5D_EXTEND — Extends a dataset
• H5D_FILL — Fills dataspace elements with a fill value in a memory buffer
• H5D_FLUSH — Flushes all buffers associated with a dataset to disk
• H5D_GATHER — Gathers data from a selection within a memory buffer
• H5D_GET_ACCESS_PLIST — Returns the dataset access property list associated with a dataset
• H5D_GET_CHUNK_INFO — Retrieves information about a chunk specified by the chunk index
• H5D_GET_CHUNK_INFO_BY_COORD — Retrieves information about a chunk specified by its coordinates
• H5D_GET_CHUNK_STORAGE_SIZE — Returns the amount of storage allocated within the file for a raw data chunk in a dataset
• H5D_GET_CREATE_PLIST — Returns an identifier for a copy of the dataset creation property list for a dataset
• H5D_GET_NUM_CHUNKS — Retrieves number of chunks that have nonempty intersection with a specified selection
• H5D_GET_OFFSET — Returns dataset address in file
• H5D_GET_SPACE — Returns an identifier for a copy of the dataspace for a dataset

• H5D_GET_STORAGE_SIZE — Returns the amount of storage allocated for a dataset
• H5D_GET_TYPE — Returns an identifier for a copy of the datatype for a dataset
• H5D_ITERATE — Iterates over all selected elements in a dataspace
• H5D_OPEN — Opens an existing dataset
• H5D_READ — Reads raw data from a dataset into a buffer
• H5D_READ_CHUNK — Reads a raw data chunk directly from a dataset in a file into a buffer
• H5D_REFRESH — Refreshes all buffers associated with a dataset
• H5D_SCATTER — Scatters data into a selection within a memory buffer
• H5D_SET_EXTENT — Changes the sizes of a dataset’s dimensions
• H5D_VLEN_GET_BUF_SIZE — Determines the number of bytes required to store variable-length (VL) data
• H5D_VLEN_RECLAIM — Reclaims variable-length (VL) datatype memory buffers
• H5D_WRITE — Writes raw data from a buffer to a dataset
• H5D_WRITE_CHUNK — Writes a raw data chunk from a buffer directly to a dataset in a file
