Hi all,
I am looking for some advice on the best strategy to apply here. This uses the C interface.
I have some hdf5 file used as initial conditions of my simulation. This file contains a bunch of meta-data in the form of a group with mulitple attributes in it and no dataset.
The code then runs and writes hdf5 outputs at multiple points in time. I would like to duplicate the meta-data I read earlier into these files for safe-keeping.
Ideally, I’d like to not re-open the initial conditions at the time of writing the outputs to copy the meta-data. I’d rather read it once, store it somewhere in memory and just write it to the files at a later stage.
Is there a preferred strategy to do this? This means storing somewhere in memory my hdf5 group “object” and writing it to some different files at a later point?
Any suggestion welcome.
