🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

💜 FUNCTIONS 💜

🎀 new 🎀

Opens or creates a brand-new HDF object, with the VS and V interface. Main character behaviour fr ✨

Arguments:

1. The name of the HDF file. And listen, the prefix you slap on it changes everything:
   • Wanna write to it? Prepend the name with the + character: "+name.hdf"
   • Wanna create it? Prepend the name with the - character: "-name.hdf"
   • Neither of those? Then the file just gets opened read only. That's it, that's the vibe 🦋

Returns the hdf object — and it will die on error, no cap 😭

  my $hdf = PDL::IO::HDF::VS->new("file.hdf");

💖 close 💖

Closes the VS interface. bye bestie 👋

no arguments — she needs nothing from you, she's low maintenance 🎀

  my $result = $hdf->close();
