Parameters

  • file_in (string) – path of existing hdf5 file to be copied from

  • file_out (string) – path of output hdf5 file to be created or appended to (see mode)

  • hdf5_path_list (list of string) – the hdf5 internal paths of the datasets (or groups) to be copied

  • mode (string, default 'w') – mode to open output file with; must be ‘w’ or ‘a’ for (over)write or append respectively

  • chunks (string, optional) – if present, one of ‘auto’, ‘all’, ‘slice’; if None, global default will be used; any of the valid strings will actually be treated as ‘auto’
