H5S_CREATE_SCALAR

The H5S_CREATE_SCALAR function creates a scalar dataspace.

Note: Scalar dataspaces have no dimensionality thus H5S_GET_SIMPLE_EXTENT_DIMS and H5S_GET_SIMPLE_EXTENT_NDIMS will both return 0.

Syntax

Result = H5S_CREATE_SCALAR()

Return Value

The Result gives the dataspace identifier. This identifier should be released with the H5S_CLOSE procedure.
