H5Fclear_elink_file_cache(
hid_t file_id
)
H5Fclear_elink_file_cache
releases all the child files cached in a file’s
external link open file cache, possibly causing them to be closed.
This function can be used to release memory and
to allow files to be accessed by another process.
H5Fclear_elink_file_cache
evicts all the cached child files in the specified file’s
external file cache, causing them to be closed if there is nothing
else holding them open.
H5Fclear_elink_file_cache does not close the cache
itself; subsequent external link traversals from the parent file
will again cache the target file.
See
H5Pset_elink_file_cache_size
for information on closing the file cache.
