Retrieves the metadata for an object, identifying the object by an index position

As of HDF5-1.12 this function is deprecated in favor of the function H5O_GET_INFO_BY_IDX3 or the macro H5O_GET_INFO_BY_IDX.

Procedure:

H5O_GET_INFO_BY_IDX2 ( loc_id, group_name, idx_type, order, n, oinfo, fields, lapl_id )

Parameters:

hid_t `loc_id`	IN: Location identifier of object; may be a file, group, dataset, named datatype or attribute identifier
const char *`group_name`	IN: Name of group in which object is located
H5_index_t `idx_type`	IN: Index or field that determines the order
H5_iter_order_t `order`	IN: Order within field or index
hsize_t `n`	IN: Object for which information is to be returned
H5O_info1_t *`oinfo`	OUT: Buffer in which to return object information
unsigned int `fields`	IN: Flags specifying the fields to include in `oinfo`
hid_t `lapl_id`	IN: Link access property list (Not currently used; pass as `NULL`.)

Description:

H5O_GET_INFO_BY_IDX2 retrieves the metadata describing an object in the struct oinfo, as specified by the location, loc_id, group name, group_name, the index by which objects in that group are tracked, idx_type, the order by which the index is to be traversed, order, and an object’s position n within that index .

oinfo, in which the object information is returned, is a struct of type H5O_info1_t. This and other struct types used by H5O_GET_INFO_BY_IDX2 are described in H5O_GET_INFO_BY_IDX1.

If loc_id fully specifies the group in which the object resides, group_name can be a dot (.).

The fields parameter contains flags to determine which fields will be filled in in the H5O_info1_t struct returned in oinfo. These flags are defined in the H5Opublic.h file:

Flag	Purpose
H5O_INFO_BASIC	Fill in the fileno, addr, type, and rc fields
H5O_INFO_TIME	Fill in the atime, mtime, ctime, and btime fields
H5O_INFO_NUM_ATTRS	Fill in the num_attrs field
H5O_INFO_HDR	Fill in the hdr field
H5O_INFO_META_SIZE	Fill in the meta_size field
H5O_INFO_ALL	H5O_INFO_BASIC \| H5O_INFO_TIME \| H5O_INFO_NUM_ATTRS \| H5O_INFO_HDR \| H5O_INFO_META_SIZE

The link access property list, lapl_id, is not currently used; it should be passed in as NULL.

Returns:

Returns a non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
