Open an existing HDF5 file

Source: R/H5F.R

Open an existing HDF5 file

H5Fopen(name, flags = h5default("H5F_ACC_RD"), fapl = NULL, native = FALSE)

Arguments

name

The name (or path) of the HDF5 file to be opened.

flags

Character string defining the access mode for opening the file.

fapl

H5IdComponent object representing a file access property list. Leaving this argument as NULL will use the default HDF5 properties.

native

An object of class logical. If TRUE, array-like objects are treated as stored in HDF5 row-major rather than R column-major orientation. Using native = TRUE increases HDF5 file portability between programming languages. A file written with native = TRUE should also be opened for reading with native = TRUE.

Details

Possible values for the flags argument are H5F_ACC_RDWR and H5F_ACC_RDONLY. Note that HDF5's "Single Write Multiple Reader (SWMR) mode is not currently supported via rhdf5.
