Typedef Documentation

◆ H5A_operator1_t

typedef herr_t(* H5A_operator1_t) (hid_t location_id, const char *attr_name, void *operator_data)

Typedef for H5Aiterate1() callbacks.

Parameters
[in]location_idThe identifier for the group, dataset or named datatype being iterated over
[in]attr_nameThe name of the current object attribute
[in,out]operator_dataA pointer to the operator data passed in to H5Aiterate1()
Returns
The return values from an operator are:
  • Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all attributes have been processed.
  • Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive value, indicating short-circuit success. The iterator can be restarted at the next attribute.
  • Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value, indicating failure. The iterator can be restarted at the next attribute.

◆ H5A_operator2_t

typedef herr_t(* H5A_operator2_t) (hid_t location_id, const char *attr_name, const H5A_info_t *ainfo, void *op_data)

Typedef for H5Aiterate2() / H5Aiterate_by_name() callbacks

Parameters
[in]location_idThe identifier for the group, dataset or named datatype being iterated over
[in]attr_nameThe name of the current object attribute
[in]ainfoThe attribute’s info struct
[in,out]op_dataA pointer to the operator data passed in to H5Aiterate2() or H5Aiterate_by_name()
Returns
The return values from an operator are:
  • Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all attributes have been processed.
  • Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive value, indicating short-circuit success. The iterator can be restarted at the next attribute.
  • Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value, indicating failure. The iterator can be restarted at the next attribute.
