H5Pset_est_link_info(
hid_t gcpl_id,
unsigned est_num_entries,
unsigned est_name_len
)
H5Pset_est_link_info inserts two settings into
the group creation property list gcpl_id:
the estimated number of links that are expected to be inserted into
a group created with the property list and the
estimated average length of those link names.
The estimated number of links is passed in est_num_entries.
The estimated average length of the anticipated link names
is passed in est_name_len.
The values for these two settings are multiplied to compute the initial local heap size (for old-style groups, if the local heap size hint is not set) or the initial object header size for (new-style compact groups; see “Group implementations in HDF5”). Accurately setting these parameters will help reduce wasted file space.
If a group is expected to have many links and to be stored in
dense format, set est_num_entries to 0
(zero) for maximum efficiency.
This will prevent the group from being created in the compact format.
See “Group implementations in HDF5” in the H5G API introduction for a discussion of the available types of HDF5 group structures.
