Description

hdf5lib provides a self-contained, static build of the HDF5 C library (version 1.14.6) and zlib (version 1.3.1).

Details

This package provides no R functions and is intended for R package developers to use in the LinkingTo field of their DESCRIPTION file. It allows other R packages to easily link against HDF5 without requiring users to install any system-level dependencies.
