Inherits from class H5T.
Object of class H5T_COMPOUND.
new(labels, dtypes, size = NULL, offset = NULL, id = NULL)Create at compound type that is the HDF5 equivalent of a table
Parameters
The labels of the columns of the compound object
The datatypes of the columns of the object; this is usually a list of objects
of class H5T
The size of each datatype; if NULL, automatically inferred
The offset where each datatype starts; can be different from the sum of the individual sizes
so that datatypes are aligned with memory addresses. If NULL, inferred automatically
Internal use only
pack()This function implements the HDF5-API function H5Tpack. Please see the documentation at https://docs.hdfgroup.org/hdf5/develop/group___h5_t.html for details.
get_cpd_types()Return H5T objects that represent the datatypes of the columns of the
compound object. Returned as a list if more than 1
get_cpd_labels()Return the labels of the columns as a character vector
get_cpd_classes()Return the classes of the columns as an object of type factor_ext
get_cpd_offsets()Return the offsets of the datatypes
describe()Print a detailed description of the datatype; this is experimental
