large parts of the HDF5 API missing #94

Closed ilia-kats closed 3 years ago

ilia-kats commented 3 years ago

I noticed that a lot of HDF5 functionality is not exposed through rhdf5. All of the C code seems to have been written a long time ago, but it is commented out, and no R wrappers exist. Please consider making it available to R. In particular, I need to be able to set the userblock size upon file creation (H5Pset_userblock).

Sure, I tend to add parts of the API when I get a request like this or when I run into a use case myself that needs a new addition.

I'll take a look at adding your missing function in the next few weeks, but also welcome pull requests.
