Struct VirtualLink 

pub struct VirtualLink {
    pub virtual_path: String,
    pub source_file: String,
    pub source_path: String,
    pub slices: Vec<[usize; 3]>,
}

Describes a virtual link from one dataset path to another — similar to HDF5 virtual datasets or external links.

Fields

virtual_path: String

The logical path within this file (e.g. "/virtual/positions").

source_file: String

The source file (may be the same file or an external path).

source_path: String

The dataset path inside the source file.

slices: Vec<[usize; 3]>

Optional slice: [start, stop, step] for each dimension.

Implementations

impl VirtualLink

pub fn new( virtual_path: impl Into<String>, source_file: impl Into<String>, source_path: impl Into<String>, ) -> Self

Create a new virtual link with no slicing.

pub fn with_slice(self, start: usize, stop: usize, step: usize) -> Self

Add a per-dimension slice [start, stop, step].

pub fn to_cdl(&self) -> String

Return a CDL-style description of this virtual link.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for VirtualLink

fn clone(&self) -> VirtualLink

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for VirtualLink

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
