H5L.copy

Copy link from source location to destination location

Syntax

H5L.copy(src_loc_id,src_name,dest_loc_id,dest_name,lcpl_id,lapl_id)

Description

H5L.copy(src_loc_id,src_name,dest_loc_id,dest_name,lcpl_id,lapl_id) copies the link specified by src_name from the file or group specified by src_loc_id to the destination dest_loc_id. The new copy of the link is created with the name dest_name.

dest_loc_id must refer to either the current file or a group in the current file. If dest_loc_id is the file identifier, the copy is placed in the file's root group.

The new link is created with the creation and access property lists specified by lcpl_id and lapl_id.

Examples

plist_id = 'H5P_DEFAULT';
fid = H5F.create('myfile.h5','H5F_ACC_TRUNC',plist_id,plist_id);
g1 = H5G.create(fid,'g1',plist_id);
g2 = H5G.create(fid,'g2',plist_id);
g11 = H5G.create(g1,'g3',plist_id);
H5L.copy(g1,'g3',g2,'g4',plist_id,plist_id);
