Description:
H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME3 specifies an object’s location and name, loc_id and name, respectively, and retrieves the metadata describing that object in oinfo, an H5O_info2_t struct.
oinfo, in which the object information is returned, is a struct of type H5O_info2_t, which is defined in H5Opublic.h in the HDF5 source code:

- Of the four time fields (
atime,mtime,ctime, andbtime) onlyctimehas been implemented. - The
atimevalue is the last time the object was read or written. - The
mtimevalue is the last time the raw data in the object was changed. - The
ctimevalue is the last time the metadata for the object was changed. - The
btimevalue is the time the object was created.
H5O_token_t is defined in H5public.h as follows:

The fields parameter contains flags to determine which fields will be filled in in the H5O_info2_t struct returned in oinfo. These flags are defined in the H5Opublic.h file:
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|---|
| H5O_INFO_BASIC | Fill in the fileno, addr, type, and rc fields |
| H5O_INFO_TIME | Fill in the atime, mtime, ctime, and btime fields |
| H5O_INFO_NUM_ATTRS | Fill in the num_attrs field |
| H5O_INFO_HDR | Fill in the hdr field |
| H5O_INFO_META_SIZE | Fill in the meta_size field |
| H5O_INFO_ALL | H5O_INFO_BASIC | H5O_INFO_TIME | H5O_INFO_NUM_ATTRS | H5O_INFO_HDR | H5O_INFO_META_SIZE |
The link access property list, lapl_id, is not currently used; it should be passed in as H5P_DEFAULT.
Returns:
Returns a non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
