Ensure that an HDF5 dataset exists (create if missing) — h5_ensure

Creates missing groups along the path and then creates the dataset. Designed for RAINDROP input files where missing scalar parameters can crash the model definition reader.

Usage

h5_ensure_dataset(h5, path, value, dtype = NULL, dims = NULL)

Arguments

h5: Open hdf5r::H5File (mode "a" or "r+").
path: Absolute dataset path (e.g. "/Berechnungsparameter/Zeitschritt_Verschaltungen").
value: Initial value to write after creation (scalar, vector, matrix, or 2-col TS).
dtype: Optional. Either an H5T object or a string ("double","integer","logical","character"). If NULL, inferred from value.
dims: Optional integer vector. If NULL, inferred from value.

Value

Invisibly TRUE
