Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ H5L_type_t

enum H5L_type_t

Link class types.

Values less than 64 are reserved for the HDF5 library's internal use. Values 64 to 255 are for "user-defined" link class types; these types are defined by HDF5 but their behavior can be overridden by users. Users who want to create new classes of links should contact the HDF5 development team at help@.nosp@m.hdfg.nosp@m.roup..nosp@m.org. These values can never change because they appear in HDF5 files.

Enumerator
H5L_TYPE_ERROR 

Invalid link type id

H5L_TYPE_HARD 

Hard link id

H5L_TYPE_SOFT 

Soft link id

H5L_TYPE_EXTERNAL 

External link id

H5L_TYPE_MAX 

Maximum link type id
