H5Tcreate(
H5T_class_t class,
size_tsize
)
H5Tcreate creates a new datatype of the specified
class with the specified number of bytes.
The following datatype classes are supported with this function:
H5T_COMPOUND
H5T_OPAQUE
H5T_ENUM
H5T_STRING
When creating a variable-length string datatype,
size must be H5T_VARIABLE;
when creating a fixed-length string datatype, size
will be the length of the string in bytes, that is, in ASCII characters.
Use H5Tcopy to create integer or floating-point datatypes.
The datatype identifier returned from this function should be
released with H5Tclose or resource leaks will result.
