H5Isearch(
H5I_type_t type,
H5I_search_func_t func,
void *key
)
H5Isearch searches through a give ID type
to find an object that satisfies the criteria
defined by func.
If such an object is found,
the pointer to the memory containing this object is returned.
Otherwise, NULL is returned.
To do this, func is called on every member of
type.
The first member to satisfy func is returned.
The type parameter is the identifier for
the ID type which is to be searched.
This identifier must have been created by a call to
H5Iregister_type.
The parameter func is a function pointer to a function
which takes three parameters.
The first parameter is a void *.
It will be a pointer the object to be tested.
This is the same object that was placed in storage
using H5Iregister.
The second parameter is a hid_t.
It is the ID of the object to be tested.
The last parameter is a void *.
This is the key parameter
and can be used however the user finds helpful.
Or it can simply be ignored if it is not needed.
func returns 0 if the object it is testing
does not pass its criteria. A non-zero value should be
returned if the object does pass its criteria.
The key parameter will be passed to the
search function as a parameter.
It can be used to further define the search at run-time.
