H5T_INTEGER-class: Class for HDF5 integer-datatypes.

In hdf5r: Interface to the 'HDF5' Binary Data Format

Class for HDF5 integer-datatypes.

Description

Inherits from class H5T. Users should not create integer datatypes themselves using this class. Instead, integer should be derived from one of the base-types such as h5types$H5T_NATIVE_INT (which internally automatically creates a copy of the type). For a complete list of types see h5types$overview.

Value

Object of class H5T_INTEGER.
