H5T.is_variable_str

Determine if data type is variable-length string

Syntax

output = H5T.is_variable_str(type_id)

Description

output = H5T.is_variable_str(type_id) returns a positive value if the data type specified by type_id is a variable-length string and zero if it is not. A negative value indicates failure.

Examples

fid = H5F.open('example.h5');
dset_id = H5D.open(fid,'/g3/VLstring2D');
type_id = H5D.get_type(dset_id);
if H5T.is_variable_str(type_id) > 0
    fprintf('variable length string\n');
end
