Parameters:
hid_t loc_id | IN: Location identifier of object to which attribute is attached; may be a file, group, dataset or named datatype |
const char *obj_name | IN: Name of object to which attribute is attached, relative to location |
H5_index_t idx_type | IN: Type of index |
H5_iter_order_t order | IN: Index traversal order |
hsize_t n | IN: Attribute’s position in index |
H5A_info_t *ainfo | OUT: Struct containing returned attribute information |
hid_t lapl_id | IN: Link access property list |
Description:
H5A_GET_INFO_BY_IDX retrieves information for an attribute that is attached to an object, which is specified by its location and name, loc_id
and obj_name
, respectively. The attribute is located by its index position and the attribute information is returned in the ainfo
struct.
If loc_id
fully specifies the object to which the attribute is attached, obj_name
should be '.'
(a dot).
The attribute is located by means of an index type, an index traversal order, and a position in the index, idx_type
, order
and n
, respectively. These parameters and their valid values are discussed in the description of H5A_ITERATE2.
The ainfo
struct, which will contain the returned attribute information, is described in H5A_GET_INFO.
The link access property list, lapl_id
, may provide information regarding the properties of links required to access the object, obj_name
. See “Link Access Properties” in the H5P APIs.
Returns:
Returns a non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
