H5F.flush from HDF5DotNet?

Hi .Net folks,

Is there any way to flush an open file from HDF5DotNet (1.8.7) without
closing the file? We are using HDF5 for a scientific data acquisition
application and would like to force data to be written to disk after
each "trial" while keeping the file (and the group where the data is
placed) open. For posterity, there's a StackOverflow question about
this too (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6153063/h5f-flush-removed-from-hdf5dotnet-1-8-7),
so an answer there would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thank you,

Barry

There is an H5Fflush function, but it is currently not in HDF5DotNet. But it is pretty easy to add. Take a look at H5F.cpp. Duplicate what's done for H5F::close, but call H5Fflush instead. You'll need the function, the DllImport statement, and the declaration in the header.
