h5py Low-Level API Reference

This documentation contains the auto-generated API information for the h5py 3.12.1 “low-level” interface, a collection of Cython modules which form the interface to the HDF5 C library. It’s hosted separately from our main documentation as it requires autodoc.

Note

The main docs for h5py are at https://docs.h5py.org. The docs here are specifically for the h5py low-level interface.
