Check if an HDF5 Object is a Group — h5_is_group • h5lite

Checks if the object at a given path is a group.

Usage

h5_is_group(file, name, attr = NULL)

Arguments

file: The path to the HDF5 file.
name: The full path of the object to check.
attr: The name of an attribute. This parameter is included for consistency with other functions. Since attributes cannot be groups, providing this will always return FALSE. (Default: NULL)

Value

A logical value: TRUE if the object exists and is a group, FALSE otherwise (if it is a dataset, or does not exist).
