HDF5 Link Create Property List Interface {rhdf5} | R Documentation

## HDF5 Link Create Property List Interface

### Description

The functions, macros, and subroutines listed here are used to manipulate link creation property list objects in various ways, including to reset property values. With the use of property lists, HDF5 functions have been implemented and can be used in applications with many fewer parameters than would be required without property lists.

### Usage

    H5Pset_char_encoding               ( h5plist, encoding  = h5default("H5T_CSET"))
    H5Pget_char_encoding               ( h5plist )
    H5Pset_create_intermediate_group   ( h5plist, crt_intermed_group )
    H5Pget_create_intermediate_group   ( h5plist )

### Arguments

`h5plist` | An object of class `H5IdComponent` representing a H5 property list identifier of class H5P_LINK_CREATE. See `H5Pcreate` or `H5Pcopy` to create an object of this kind.
`encoding` | A character name of an encoding type. See `h5const("H5T_CSET")` for possible property list types. Can also be an integer representing an HDF5 encoding type.
`crt_intermed_group` | Logical. If TRUE intermediate groups are created.

### Details

Interface to the HDF5 C-library libhdf5. See https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/Attribute+and+Link+Creation+Properties for further details. See H5P for documentation of more functions to manupulate property lists of other property list classes.

### Value

The functions return the standard return value from their respective C-functions.
