h5_names_exist: check if group names exist in HDF5 file

In hadron: Analysis Framework for Monte Carlo Simulation Data in Physics

check if group names exist in HDF5 file

Description

The group names in an HDF5 file are stored as full paths as well as a flat vector. It is thus possible to check if a particular set of group names exist in the file by parsing the name member of the output of rhdf5::h5ls. This function does just that.

Usage

h5_names_exist(h5f, nms_to_find)

Arguments

h5f	HDF5 file handle openend with rhdf5::H5Fopen
nms_to_find	Vector of strings, group names (not full paths) which are to be located in the file.

Value

Vector of booleans of the same length as nms_to_find indicating whether the name at the same index position was located in the file.
