Synopsis

This class wraps an HDF5 group hid (hdf5 id). It offers two benefits:

• The most important is resource management. In case of an exception, the hid will automatically be closed by the destructor.
• A hid is a kind of pointer and should not be copied. These classes make it possible to use them in a shared pointer.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::HDF5Group::HDF5Group ( )

inline

Construct from given hid.

Definition at line 58 of file HDF5Group.h.

casacore::HDF5Group::HDF5Group ( const HDF5Object &  parentHid, const String &  name, bool  mustExist = false, bool  mustNotExist = false  )

inline

Open or create a group at the given hid.

Default is that the group may exist; it is created if not existing.
