hid_t table_id

    IN: Identifier of packet table to read from.

hsize_t start

    IN: Packet to start reading from.

size_t nrecords

    IN: Number of packets to be read.

void * data

    OUT: Buffer into which to read data.

H5PTread_packets reads nrecords packets starting at packet number start from a packet table specified by table_id. data is a buffer into which the data should be read.

For a packet table holding variable-length records, the data returned in the buffer will be in form of hvl_t structs, each containing the length of the data and a pointer to it in memory. The memory used by this data must be freed using H5PTfree_vlen_buff.

Returns a non-negative value if successful, otherwise returns a negative value.
