[hdf-forum] testing if a subgroup exists

[Mark Howison]

Hi,

I have a piece of code that queries a group to see if a subgroup with
a given name exists:

static h5part_int64_t
_have_object (
        const hid_t id,
        const char *name
        ) {
        return (H5Gget_objinfo( id, name, 1, NULL ) >= 0 ? 1 : 0);
}

The problem is that H5Gget_objinfo is now deprecated in 1.8. Looking
through the reference manual, I couldn't find a call that simply tests
whether an object exists or not given a location id and the object's
name. Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Mark
