The HDF5 library provides several interfaces, and is currently implemented in
|
|
C. The APIs provide routines for accessing HDF5 files and creating and
|
|
manipulating HDF5 objects. All C routines in the HDF5 library begin with
|
|
a prefix of the form H5*, where * is a single letter indicating the object on
|
|
which the operation is to be performed. The APIs are listed below:
