H5P_SET_FAPL_SPLIT is a compatibility function that enables the multi-file driver to emulate the split driver from HDF5 Releases 1.0 and 1.2. The split file driver stored metadata and raw data in separate files but provided no mechanism for separating types of metadata. fapl_id is a file access property list identifier.
meta_ext is the filename extension for the metadata file. The extension is appended to the name passed to H5FDopen , usually from H5F_CREATE or H5F_OPEN, to form the name of the metadata file. If the string %s is used in the extension, it works like the name generator as in H5P_SET_FAPL_MULTI.
meta_plist_id is the file access property list identifier for the metadata file.
raw_ext is the filename extension for the raw data file. The extension is appended to the name passed to H5FDopen , usually from H5F_CREATE or H5F_OPEN, to form the name of the raw data file. If the string %s is used in the extension, it works like the name generator as in H5P_SET_FAPL_MULTI. raw_plist_id is the file access property list identifier for the raw data file.
If a user wishes to check to see whether this driver is in use, the user must call H5P_GET_DRIVER and compare the returned value to the string H5FD_MULTI. A positive match will confirm that the multi driver is in use; HDF5 provides no mechanism to determine whether it was called as the special case invoked by H5P_SET_FAPL_SPLIT. |
