Size of data type in bytes
type_size = H5T.get_size(type_id)
type_size = H5T.get_size(type_id) returns
the size of a data type in bytes. type_id is a
data type identifier.
Determine the size of the data type for a specific dataset.
fid = H5F.open('example.h5'); dset_id = H5D.open(fid,'/g3/bitfield2D'); type_id = H5D.get_type(dset_id); type_size = H5T.get_size(type_id);
