Set whether to record timestamps for operations performed on an HDF5 object.

H5Pset_obj_track_times(h5plist, track_times = TRUE)

H5Pget_obj_track_times(h5plist)

Arguments

h5plist

An H5IdComponent object representing an object creation property list.

track_times

logical specifying whether times associated with an object should recorded.

Details

Objects created using high-level rhdf5 functions like h5createDataset() will have this setting turned off. This was done to ensure otherwise identical files returned the same md5 hash. This differs from the default setting in HDF5, which is for objects to record the times operations were performed on them.
