An S4 class representing an H5 object — H5IdComponent-class • rhdf5

A class representing a HDF5 identifier handle. HDF5 identifiers represent open files, groups, datasets, dataspaces, attributes, and datatypes.

Arguments

object: Object of class H5IdComponent
e1: An H5IdComponent object representing an H5 file or group.
e2: Character giving the path to an HDF5 group or dataset relative to e1.
x: Object of class H5IdComponent representing the HDF5 dataset from which to extract element(s) or in which to replace element(s).
name: Character giving the path to an HDF5 group or dataset relative to x.
value: Array-like R object containing value to be inserted into the HDF5 dataset.
i, j, ...: Indices specifying elements to extract or replace. Indices are numeric vectors or empty (missing) or NULL. Numeric values are coerced to integer as by as.integer (and hence truncated towards zero).
drop: If TRUE the result is coerced to the lowest possible dimension (see the examples). This only works for extracting elements, not for the replacement. See drop for further details.

Methods (by generic)

show(H5IdComponent): Print details of the object to screen.
e1 & e2: Returns a group handle or dataset handle for the group or dataset name in the HDF5 location h5loc. h5loc can either be a file handle as returned by H5Fopen or a group handle as e.g. returned by h5f$g1 or h5f$'/g1/g2'.
$: Reads the HDF5 object name in the HDF5 location x. x can either be a file handle as returned by H5Fopen or a group handle as e.g. returned by h5f$g1 or h5f$'/g1/g2'.
`$`(H5IdComponent) <- value: Writes the assigned object to to the HDF5 file at location e1. e1 can either be a file handle as returned by H5Fopen or a group handle as e.g. returned by h5f$g1 or h5f$'/g1/g2's. The storage.mode of the assigned object has to be compatible to the datatype of the HDF5 dataset. The dimension of the assigned object have to be identical the dimensions of the HDF5 dataset. To create a new HDF5 dataset with specific properties (e.g. compression level or chunk size), please use the function h5createDataset first.
[: Subsetting of an HDF5 dataset. The function reads a subset of an HDF5 dataset. The given dimensions have to fit the dimensions of the HDF5 dataset.
`[`(H5IdComponent) <- value: Subsetting of an HDF5 dataset. The function writes an R data object to a subset of an HDF5 dataset. The given dimensions have to fit the dimensions of the HDF5 dataset. The HDF5 dataset has to be created beforehand, e.g. by h5createDataset.

Slots

ID: integer of length 1. Contains the handle of C-type hid_t.
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 read with native = TRUE
