a string giving the destination filename
- hard
a boolean
- filename
a string giving the filename

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);
