H5TBget_field_info

herr_t H5TBget_field_info(hid_t loc_id, const char *table_name, char *field_names[], size_t *field_sizes, size_t *field_offsets, size_t *type_size)

H5TBget_field_info gets information about a dataset named table_name attached to the object specified by the identifier loc_id.

synopsis:Gets information about a table. param loc_id:IN: Identifier of the file or group to read the table within. param table_name:  IN: The name of the dataset to read. param field_names:  OUT: An array containing the names of the fields. param field_sizes:  OUT: An array containing the size of the fields. param field_offsets:  OUT: An array containing the offsets of the fields. param type_size:  OUT: The size of the HDF5 datatype associated with the table. More specifically, the size in bytes of the HDF5 compound datatype used to define a row, or record, in thetable. return:Returns a non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
