<p>Use the functions in this module to manage HDF5 files.</p>
<p>In the code snippets below, we show the skeletal life cycle of an HDF5 file, when creating a new file (left) or when opening an existing file (right). File creation is essentially controlled through <a class="el" href="group___f_c_p_l.html">File Creation Properties</a>, and file access to new and existing files is controlled through <a class="el" href="group___f_a_p_l.html">File Access Properties</a>. The file <code>name</code> and creation or access <code>mode</code> control the interaction with the underlying storage such as file systems.</p>

<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd><b>Delayed close:</b> Note the following deviation from the above-described behavior. If <a class="el" href="#gac55cd91d80822e4f8c2a7f04ea71b124" title="Terminates access to an HDF5 file.">H5Fclose()</a> is called for a file, but one or more objects within the file remain open, those objects will remain accessible until they are individually closed. Thus, if the dataset <code>data_sample</code> is open when <a class="el" href="#gac55cd91d80822e4f8c2a7f04ea71b124" title="Terminates access to an HDF5 file.">H5Fclose()</a> is called for the file containing it, <code>data_sample</code> will remain open and accessible (including writable) until it is explicitly closed. The file will be automatically closed once all objects in the file have been closed.<br  />
 Be warned, however, that there are circumstances where it is not possible to delay closing a file. For example, an MPI-IO file close is a collective call; all of the processes that open the file must close it collectively. The file cannot be closed at some time in the future by each process in an independent fashion. Another example is that an application using an AFS token-based file access privilege may destroy its AFS token after <a class="el" href="#gac55cd91d80822e4f8c2a7f04ea71b124" title="Terminates access to an HDF5 file.">H5Fclose()</a> has returned successfully. This would make any future access to the file, or any object within it, illegal.<br  />
 In such situations, applications must close all open objects in a file before calling H5Fclose. It is generally recommended to do so in all cases.</dd></dl>

<p>The <code>filename</code> parameter specifies the name of the new file.</p>
<p>The <code>flags</code> parameter specifies whether an existing file is to be overwritten. It should be set to either <a class="el" href="_h5_fpublic_8h.html#a5a2d6726f9ad8d2bca8df2b817e5ad6a">H5F_ACC_TRUNC</a> to overwrite an existing file or <a class="el" href="_h5_fpublic_8h.html#a7a47250dc1435705233dca7297ba3d90">H5F_ACC_EXCL</a>, instructing the function to fail if the file already exists.</p>
<p>New files are always created in read-write mode, so the read-write and read-only flags, <a class="el" href="_h5_fpublic_8h.html#a402673dec5c537b27a49a9a8bd6140b4">H5F_ACC_RDWR</a> and <a class="el" href="_h5_fpublic_8h.html#a1c406ffa89f4acf5a332144a2683d394">H5F_ACC_RDONLY</a>, respectively, are not relevant in this function. Further note that a specification of <a class="el" href="_h5_fpublic_8h.html#a1c406ffa89f4acf5a332144a2683d394">H5F_ACC_RDONLY</a> will be ignored; the file will be created in read-write mode, regardless.</p>
<p>More complex behaviors of file creation and access are controlled through the file creation and file access property lists, <code>fcpl_id</code> and <code>fapl_id</code>, respectively. The value of <a class="el" href="_h5_ppublic_8h.html#afa85e97bfbf9bf1c58e39263846c568f">H5P_DEFAULT</a> for any property list value indicates that the library should use the default values for that appropriate property list.</p>
<p>The return value is a file identifier for the newly-created file; this file identifier should be closed by calling <a class="el" href="#gac55cd91d80822e4f8c2a7f04ea71b124" title="Terminates access to an HDF5 file.">H5Fclose()</a> when it is no longer needed.</p>

<dl class="section attention"><dt>Attention</dt><dd><b>Special case — File creation in the case of an already-open file:</b> If a file being created is already opened, by either a previous <a class="el" href="#gaa3f4f877b9bb591f3880423ed2bf44bc" title="Opens an existing HDF5 file.">H5Fopen()</a> or <a class="el" href="#gae64b51ee9ac0781bc4ccc599d98387f4" title="Creates an HDF5 file.">H5Fcreate()</a> call, the HDF5 library may or may not detect that the open file and the new file are the same physical file. (See <a class="el" href="#gaa3f4f877b9bb591f3880423ed2bf44bc" title="Opens an existing HDF5 file.">H5Fopen()</a> regarding the limitations in detecting the re-opening of an already-open file.)<br  />

 But if the library does not detect that the file is already opened and <a class="el" href="_h5_fpublic_8h.html#a5a2d6726f9ad8d2bca8df2b817e5ad6a">H5F_ACC_TRUNC</a> is used, <a class="el" href="#gae64b51ee9ac0781bc4ccc599d98387f4" title="Creates an HDF5 file.">H5Fcreate()</a> will truncate the existing file and return a valid file identifier.

<dl class="section attention"><dt>Attention</dt><dd><b>Special cases — Multiple opens:</b> A file can often be opened with a new <a class="el" href="#gaa3f4f877b9bb591f3880423ed2bf44bc" title="Opens an existing HDF5 file.">H5Fopen()</a> call without closing an already-open identifier established in a previous <a class="el" href="#gaa3f4f877b9bb591f3880423ed2bf44bc" title="Opens an existing HDF5 file.">H5Fopen()</a> or <a class="el" href="#gae64b51ee9ac0781bc4ccc599d98387f4" title="Creates an HDF5 file.">H5Fcreate()</a> call. Each such <a class="el" href="#gaa3f4f877b9bb591f3880423ed2bf44bc" title="Opens an existing HDF5 file.">H5Fopen()</a> call will return a unique identifier and the file can be accessed through any of these identifiers as long as the identifier remains valid. In such multiply-opened cases, the open calls must use the same flags argument and the file access property lists must use the same file close degree property setting (see the external link discussion below and <a class="el" href="group___f_a_p_l.html#ga60e3567f677fd3ade75b909b636d7b9c" title="Sets the file close degree.">H5Pset_fclose_degree()</a>).<br  />
 In some cases, such as files on a local Unix file system, the HDF5 library can detect that a file is multiply opened and will maintain coherent access among the file identifiers.<br  />
 But in many other cases, such as parallel file systems or networked file systems, it is not always possible to detect multiple opens of the same physical file. In such cases, HDF5 will treat the file identifiers as though they are accessing different files and will be unable to maintain coherent access. Errors are likely to result in these cases. While unlikely, the HDF5 library may not be able to detect, and thus report, such errors.<br  />
 It is generally recommended that applications avoid multiple opens of the same file.</dd>

<p>The mount point can be either the group in the parent or the root group of the mounted file (both groups have the same name). If the mount point was opened before the mount then it is the group in the parent; if it was opened after the mount then it is the root group of the child.</p>
