Create HDF5 file
file_id = H5F.create(filename)
file_id = H5F.create(name,flags,fcpl_id,fapl_id)
file_id = H5F.create(filename) creates
the file specified by filename with default library
properties if the file does not already exist.
file_id = H5F.create(name,flags,fcpl_id,fapl_id) creates
the file specified by name. flags specifies
whether to truncate the file, if it already exists, or to fail if
the file already exists. flags can be specified
by one of the following character vectors or their numeric equivalent:
'H5F_ACC_TRUNC' | overwrite any existing file by the same name |
'H5F_ACC_EXCL' | do not overwrite an existing file |
fcpl_id is the file creation property list
identifier. fapl_id is the file access property
list identifier. A value of 'H5P_DEFAULT' for
either property list indicates that the library should use default
values for the appropriate property list.
Create an HDF5 file called 'myfile.h5'.
fid = H5F.create('myfile.h5');
H5F.close(fid);
Create an HDF5 file called 'myfile.h5', overwriting
any existing file by the same name. Default file access and file
creation properties shall apply.
fcpl = H5P.create('H5P_FILE_CREATE'); fapl = H5P.create('H5P_FILE_ACCESS'); fid = H5F.create('myfile.h5','H5F_ACC_TRUNC',fcpl,fapl); H5F.close(fid);
