Enum Object 

pub enum Object<'f> {
    Group(Group<'f>),
    Dataset(Box<Dataset<'f>>),
}

The resolved target of an HDF5 object reference (H5R_OBJECT): either a group or a dataset.

Produced by Dataset::dereference. MATLAB .mat files use object references pervasively — a cell array stores one reference per element, and the #subsystem# machinery references its payloads — so resolving a reference to the group or dataset it names is the foundation for reading those structures.

The Dataset handle is boxed: it carries a parsed object header and is much larger than a Group handle, so boxing keeps Object (and a Vec<Object>) compact without a size disparity. The Box derefs transparently, so &obj_dataset is usable wherever a &Dataset is expected.

Variants

Group(Group<'f>)

The reference points at a group’s object header.

Dataset(Box<Dataset<'f>>)

The reference points at a dataset’s object header.
