[I sent this three days ago but do not see it or any responses in
the group listings. Trying to re-send, sorry if you get it twice]
Hi all,
is it possible to create external link to the file(s) written
by family driver. I can see that H5Lcreate_external() accepts
link access property which can be used to specify files driver
via H5Pset_elink_fapl() call, but it does not look like driver
information is stored in a file together with the link. Do
I have to set driver again when the file is opened and link is
followed?
Cheers,
Andy
Hi Quincey,
thanks. That is what I do when I create a link. My question was
do I have to do it again when I follow the link (it looks like
I do)? Does it mean that standard tools won't be able to work
with that file?
Cheers,
Andy

You can use the H5Pset_elink_fapl() to do what you want:
