H5Iobject_verify(
hid_t id,
H5I_type_t id_type
)
id.
H5Iobject_verify returns a pointer to the
memory referenced by id after verifying that
id is of type id_type.
This function is analogous to dereferencing a pointer
in C with type checking.
H5Iregister(H5I_type_t type,
void *object) takes an H5I_type_t
and a void pointer to an object,
returning an hid_t of that type.
This hid_t can then be passed to
H5Iobject_verify along with its type to retrieve
the object.
H5Iobject_verify does not change the ID it is
called on in any way
(as opposed to H5Iremove_verify,
which removes the ID from its type’s hash table).
hid_t id |
IN: ID to be dereferenced |
H5I_type_t type |
IN: ID type to which id should belong |
NULL on failure.
