H5Pget_multi_type
(
hid_t fapl_id
,
H5FD_mem_t *type
)
MULTI
driver.
H5Pget_multi_type
retrieves the type of data setting from the
file access or data transfer property list fapl_id
.
This enables a user application to specify the type of data the
application wishes to access so that the application
can retrieve a file handle for low-level access to the particular member
of a set of MULTI
files in which that type of data is stored.
The file handle is retrieved with a separate call
to H5Fget_vfd_handle
(or, in special circumstances, to H5FDget_vfd_handle
;
see Virtual File Layer and List of VFL Functions
in HDF5 Technical Notes).
The type of data returned in type
will be one of those
listed in the discussion of the type
parameter in the the
description of the function
H5Pset_multi_type
.
Use of this function is only appropriate for an HDF5 file written
as a set of files with the MULTI
file driver.
