h5_ls: List HDF5 Objects

Description

Lists the names of objects (datasets and groups) within an HDF5 file or group.

Usage

h5_ls(file, name = "/", recursive = TRUE, full.names = FALSE, scales = FALSE)

Value

A character vector of object names. If name is / (the default), the paths are relative to the root of the file. If name is another group, the paths are relative to that group (unless full.names = TRUE).

Arguments

file

The path to the HDF5 file.

name

The group path to start listing from. Defaults to the root group (/).

recursive

If TRUE (default), lists all objects found recursively under name. If FALSE, lists only the immediate children.

full.names

If TRUE, the full paths from the file's root are returned. If FALSE (the default), names are relative to name.

scales

If TRUE, also returns datasets that are dimensions scales for other datasets.
