<dl>
<dt><strong>Name:</strong> <a name="File-Reopen">H5Freopen</a>
<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
- <dd><em>hid__t </em><code>H5Freopen</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>file_id</code>
+ <dd><em>hid_t </em><code>H5Freopen</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>file_id</code>
)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
- <dd>Reopens an HDF5 file.
+ <dd>Returns a new identifier for a previously-opened HDF5 file.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
- <dd><code>H5Freopen</code> reopens an HDF5 file. The new
- file identifier which is returned points to the same file
- as the specified file idetifier, <code>file_id</code>.
+ <dd><code>H5Freopen</code> returns a new file identifier for an
+ already-open HDF5 file, as specified by <code>file_id</code>.
Both identifiers share caches and other information.
The only difference between the identifiers is that the
new identifier is not mounted anywhere and no files are
mounted on it.
+ <p>
+ Note that there is no circumstance under which
+ <code>H5Freopen</code> can actually open a closed file;
+ the file must already be open and have an active
+ <code>file_id</code>. E.g., one cannot close a file with
+ <code> H5Fclose&nbsp;(file_id) </code> then use
+ <code> H5Freopen&nbsp;(file_id) </code> to reopen it.
+ <p>
+ The new file identifier should be closed by calling
+ <code>H5Fclose()</code> when it is no longer needed.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<dl>
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>file_id</code>
- <dd>Identifier of a file to terminate access to.
+ <dd>Identifier of a file for which an additional identifier
+ is required.
</dl>
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
<dd>Returns a new file identifier if successful;
