Struct hdf5::Writer

pub struct Writer<'l> {
    // some fields omitted
}

A writer.

Writers are suitable for storing large arrays.

Methods

impl<'l> Writer<'l>

fn new(file: &'l File, name: &str, dimensions: &[usize]) -> Writer<'l>

Create a writer.

If there exists a dataset with the same name, it will be removed from the file structure, and a new dataset will be created. This operation, however, does not reclaim the corresponding space. See Section 5.5.2 in HDF5 User’s Guide for further details.

fn write<T: IntoData>(&mut self, data: T, position: &[usize], size: &[usize]) -> Result<()>

Write data.

The function writes a chunk of data at a particular position with a particular size. The datatype should stay unchanged from one invocation to another.
