Check whether a 'HDF5' file can be opened for read/write — io_h5_valid • ieegio

Check whether a 'HDF5' file can be opened for read/write

Usage

io_h5_valid(file, mode = c("r", "w"), close_all = FALSE)

io_h5_names(file)

Arguments

file: path to file
mode: 'r' for read access and 'w' for write access
close_all: whether to close all connections or just close current connection; default is false. Set this to TRUE if you want to close all other connections to the file. This only applies to the 'hdf5r' backend; 'h5lite' never holds the file open

Value

io_h5_valid returns a logical value indicating whether the file can be opened. io_h5_names returns a character vector of dataset names.

Examples



x <- array(1:27, c(3,3,3))
f <- tempfile()

# No data written to the file, hence invalid
io_h5_valid(f, 'r')
#> [1] FALSE

io_write_h5(x, f, 'dset')
io_h5_valid(f, 'w')
#> [1] TRUE

# clean up
unlink(f)
