[BioC] how to close a hdf5 file

[Uday Maitra [guest]]

I am using the rhdf5 library to create HDF5 files.

h5createFile(myHDF5FileName)

h5createDataset(myHDF5FileName,"myData",storage.mode="double",level=9,dims=length(myData), chunk=10000)

h5write(myData,myHDF5FileName,"myData")

Works fine, except that when I tried to delete the physical file Windows 7 tells me that the file is still open in RStudio, i.e. the file handle seems to be open in my RStudio environment, but I couldn't find any function to close the hdf5 connection.

The manual seems to indicate that there is a H5Fopen and  H5Fclose function and I tried them too, but I still cannot delete the physical file UNLESS I quit RStudio.

There is another function H5close(), but when I tried that I get an error Error: could not find function "H5close"
