Description:
H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME is a macro that is mapped to either of:
Such macros are provided to facilitate application compatibility. Their use and mappings are fully described in API Compatibility Macros in HDF5; we urge you to read that document closely.
In HDF5 version 1.12 and later H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME is mapped to H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME3. In version 1.10 H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME is identical to H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME1.
If using 1.10 (1.10.3+) and encountering performance issues, please use H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME2 to limit the fields retrieved, which can help with performance.
Specific compile-time compatibility flags and the resulting mappings are as follows:
Compatibility settings | H5Oget_info_by_name |
---|
No compatibility flag | H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME3 for 1.12 and above H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME1 for 1.8 or 1.10 |
Emulate 1.12 interface | H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME3 |
Emulate Release 1.10 or 1.8 interface | H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME1 |
History:
Release | Change |
---|
1.12.0 | The macro H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME and function H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME3 were added and H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME1 was deprecated. |
1.10.5 | The macro H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME was removed. The functions H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME and H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME1 are identical in this release. This change was added to restore the broken API compatibility introduced in HDF5-1.10.3. |
1.10.3 | The function H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME was renamed to H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME1. The macro H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME and the function H5O_GET_INFO_BY_NAME2 were introduced in this release. |
1.8.0 | C function introduced in this release. |
1.8.8 | Fortran 2003 subroutine and h5o_info_t derived type introduced in this release. |
