H5RA: Ragged Array Interface

Ragged Array API Functions

The H5RA Interface is strictly experimental at this time; the interface may change dramatically or support for ragged arrays may be unavailable in future in releases. As a result, future releases may be unable to retrieve data stored with this interface.

Use these functions at your own risk!
Do not create any archives using this interface!

These functions enable the user to store and retrieve data in ragged arrays.
