Create HDF5 group

Description

Creates a group within an HDF5 file.

Usage

h5createGroup(file, group)

Arguments

file	The filename (character) of the file in which the dataset will be located. For advanced programmers it is possible to provide an object of class H5IdComponent representing a H5 location identifier (file or group). See H5Fcreate(), H5Fopen(), H5Gcreate(), H5Gopen() to create an object of this kind.
group	The name of the new group. The name can contain a hierarchy of groupnames, e.g. "/group1/group2/newgroup", but the function will fail if the top level groups do not exists.

Details

Creates a new group within an HDF5 file.

Value

Returns TRUE is group was created successfully and FALSE otherwise.
