What is a Property (or Property List)?</h1>
<p>In HDF5, a property or property list is a characteristic or feature associated with an HDF5 object. There are default properties which handle the most common needs. These default properties are specified by passing in <a class="el" href="_h5_ppublic_8h.html#afa85e97bfbf9bf1c58e39263846c568f">H5P_DEFAULT</a> for the Property List parameter of a function. Default properties can be modified by use of the <a class="el" href="group___h5_p.html">Property Lists (H5P)</a> interface and function parameters.</p>
<p>The <a class="el" href="group___h5_p.html">Property Lists (H5P)</a> API allows a user to take advantage of the more powerful features in HDF5. It typically supports unusual cases when creating or accessing HDF5 objects. There is a programming model for working with Property Lists in HDF5 (see below).</p>
<p>For examples of modifying a property list, see these tutorial topics: </p><ul>
<li><dl class="section see"><dt>See also</dt><dd><a class="el" href="_l_b_dset_layout.html">Dataset Storage Layout</a> </dd></dl>
</li>
<li><dl class="section see"><dt>See also</dt><dd><a class="el" href="_l_b_ext_dset.html">Extendible Datasets</a> </dd></dl>
</li>
<li><dl class="section see"><dt>See also</dt><dd><a class="el" href="_l_b_com_dset.html">Compressed Datasets</a></dd></dl>
There are many Property Lists associated with creating and accessing objects in HDF5. See the <a class="el" href="group___h5_p.html">Property Lists (H5P)</a> Interface documentation in the HDF5 <a class="el" href="_r_m.html">HDF5 Reference Manual</a> for a list of the different properties associated with HDF5 interfaces.</li>
</ul>
<p>In summary: </p><ul>
<li>Properties are features of HDF5 objects, that can be changed by use of the Property List API and function parameters. </li>
<li>Property lists provide a mechanism for adding functionality to HDF5 calls without increasing the number of arguments used for a given call. </li>
<li>The Property List API supports unusual cases when creating and accessing HDF5 objects.</li>
</ul>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="secLBPListProg"></a>
Programming Model</h1>
<p>Default properties are specified by simply passing in <a class="el" href="_h5_ppublic_8h.html#afa85e97bfbf9bf1c58e39263846c568f">H5P_DEFAULT</a> (C) / H5P_DEFAULT_F (F90) for the property list parameter in those functions for which properties can be changed.</p>
<p>The programming model for changing a property list is as follows: </p><ul>
<li>Create a copy or "instance" of the desired pre-defined property type, using the <a class="el" href="group___p_l_c_r.html#gaf1b11da01d4d45d788c45f8bc5f0cbfa" title="Creates a new property list as an instance of a property list class.">H5Pcreate</a> call. This will return a property list identifier. Please see the <a class="el" href="_r_m.html">HDF5 Reference Manual</a> entry for <a class="el" href="group___p_l_c_r.html#gaf1b11da01d4d45d788c45f8bc5f0cbfa" title="Creates a new property list as an instance of a property list class.">H5Pcreate</a>, for a comprehensive list of the property types. </li>
<li>With the property list identifier, modify the property, using the <a class="el" href="group___h5_p.html">Property Lists (H5P)</a> APIs. </li>
<li>Modify the object feature, by passing the property list identifier into the corresponding HDF5 object function. </li>
<li>Close the property list when done, using <a class="el" href="group___p_l_c_r.html#ga5dce61149211d3ef319452aa598887fb" title="Terminates access to a property list.">H5Pclose</a>.</li>
</ul>
