H5P.set_fapl_core

Modify file access to use H5FD_CORE driver

Syntax

H5P.set_fapl_core(fapl_id,increment,backing_store)


Description

H5P.set_fapl_core(fapl_id,increment,backing_store) modifies the file access property list to use the H5FD_CORE driver. increment specifies the increment by which allocated memory is to be increased each time more memory is required. backing_store is a Boolean flag that, when non-zero, indicates the file contents should be written to disk when the file is closed.

Examples

Create a file image in memory only.

plist = 'H5P_DEFAULT';
ndatasets = 20;
block_size = 1024*1024;
fapl = H5P.create('H5P_FILE_ACCESS');
H5P.set_fapl_core(fapl,2^16,false);
fid = H5F.create('myfile.h5','H5F_ACC_TRUNC',plist,fapl);
space_id = H5S.create_simple(1, block_size, []);
type_id = H5T.copy('H5T_IEEE_F64LE');
data = zeros(block_size,1);
for j = 1:ndatasets
	dsname = sprintf( 'dset%02d', j);
	fprintf( 'Writing dataset %s...\n',dsname);
	dsid = H5D.create(fid,dsname,type_id,space_id,'H5P_DEFAULT');
	H5D.write(dsid,'H5ML_DEFAULT',space_id,space_id,plist,data);
	H5D.close(dsid);
end
H5P.close(fapl);
H5S.close(space_id);
H5T.close(type_id);
H5F.close(fid);
dir('myfile.h5');
