Parameters:
hid_t loc_idIN: Identifier for object of type specified by H5O_type_t; may be a file, group, dataset, named datatype or attribute identifier
H5O_info1_t *oinfo    OUT: Buffer in which to return object information

Description:

H5O_GET_INFO1 specifies an object by its identifier, loc_id, and retrieves the metadata describing that object in oinfo, defined as   a struct of type H5O_info1_t:

Include Bitbucket Server for Confluence: An error occured

Connection to Bitbucket Server could not be established. Verify that you have properly configured the Bitbucket Server application link for your Confluence space and that your Bitbucket Server instance is up and running. Error details: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Note the following about H50_info1_t:

  • Of the four time fields (atime, mtime, ctime, and btime) only ctime has been implemented.
  • The atime value is the last time the object was read or written.
  • The mtime value is the last time the raw data in the object was changed.
  • The ctime value is the last time the metadata for the object was changed.
  • The btime value is the time the object was created.
  • The fields nested in the meta_size field are for internal library use only.

An H5O_type_t enum indicates the object type and is defined (in H5Opublic.h) as follows:

typedef enum H5O_type_t {
    H5O_TYPE_UNKNOWN = -1,      /* Unknown object type                      */
    H5O_TYPE_GROUP,             /* Object is a group                        */
    H5O_TYPE_DATASET,           /* Object is a dataset                      */
    H5O_TYPE_NAMED_DATATYPE,    /* Object is a committed (named) datatype   */
    H5O_TYPE_NTYPES             /* Number of different object types (must   */
                                /* be last!)                                */
} H5O_type_t;   

Note that object_id refers only to the types specified by H5O_type_t.

An H5O_hdr_info_t struct holds object header metadata and is defined (in H5Opublic.h) as follows:

typedef struct H5O_hdr_info_t {
    unsigned version;           /* Version number of header format in file  */
    unsigned nmesgs;            /* Number of object header messages         */
    unsigned nchunks;           /* Number of object header chunks           */
    unsigned flags;             /* Object header status flags               */
    struct {
        hsize_t total;          /* Total space for storing object header in */ 
                                /*   file                                   */
        hsize_t meta;           /* Space within header for object header    */
                                /*   metadata information                   */
        hsize_t mesg;           /* Space within header for actual message   */
                                /*   information                            */
        hsize_t free;           /* Free space within object header          */
    } space;
    struct {
        uint64_t present;       /* Flags to indicate presence of message    */
                                /*   type in header                         */
        uint64_t shared;        /* Flags to indicate message type is        */
                                /*   shared in header                       */
    } mesg;
} H5O_hdr_info_t;
    

Valid values for the version field are H5O_VERSION_1 and H5O_VERSION_2. Version 2 of the object header is smaller and more efficient than version 1.

Please be aware that the information held by H5O_hdr_info_t may only be useful to developers with extensive HDF5 experience.

Note:

If you are iterating through a lot of different objects to retrieve information via the H5O_GET_INFO family of routines, you may see memory building up. This can be due to memory allocation for metadata such as  object headers and messages when the iterated objects are put into the metadata cache.

If the memory buildup is not desirable, you can configure a smaller cache via H5F_SET_MDC_CONFIG or set the file access property list via H5P_SET_MDC_CONFIG. A smaller sized cache will force metadata entries to be evicted from the cache, thus freeing the memory associated with the entries.

Returns:

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