destfile

Description

Create a hard, soft or external link. When destfile is given, it is always an external link. By default hard is set to false, so by default a soft link is created.

Soft links can be created even if the target does not exist.

Examples

// We create a HDF5 file
a = h5open(TMPDIR + "/test.h5");
b = h5open(TMPDIR + "/test1.h5");

// We create a group and a dataset
h5group(a, "Grp_1");
h5write(a.root.Grp_1, "Dset_1", [1 2 ; 3 4]);
h5group(b, "BGrp");
h5write(b("/BGrp"), "BDset", 11:18);
h5close(b)

// We create a second group and add a link
h5group(a, "Grp_2");
h5ln(a, "Hard_Link", "/Grp_1/Dset_1", %t)
h5ln(a, "Soft_Link", "/Grp_1/Dset_1")
h5ln(a, "External_Link", TMPDIR  +"/test1.h5", "/BGrp")

// We check
h5dump(a)

// Check the external link
a.root.External_Link.BDset.data

// We have finished so we free all the resources
h5close(a);
