H5TBdelete_field

herr_t H5TBdelete_field(hid_t loc_id, const char *dset_name, const char *field_name)

H5TBdelete_field deletes a field named field_name from the table dset_name. Note: this function requires the table to be re-created and rewritten in its entirety, and this can result in some unused space in the file, and can also take a great deal of time if the table is large.

synopsis:Deletes a field from a table. param loc_id:IN: Identifier of the file or group in which the table is located. param dset_name:  IN: The name of the table. param field_name:  IN: The name of the field to delete. return:Returns a non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
