Mark, There's an API function
/herr_t /|H5Fget_vfd_handle|(/hid_t/ |file_id|, /hid_t/ |fapl_id|, /void **/|file_handle| )
for this purpose. You can find it in the v1.8 Reference Manual: http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5F.html#File-GetVfdHandle Thanks. Ray Mark Miller wrote:
Hi All, H5FOpen returns an opaque hid_t for the file. What if I need to get in there and fiddle with the file properties via fcntl interface? Is there any way for me to get access to the underlying stream or file descriptor? At this point, I don't really care if its 'nice' and portable and proper. I just need a way to get at it for standard VFD's such as SEC2 or STDIO. Mark
