data = h5read(filename, dsetname) reads all the data from the dataset dsetname contained in the HDF5 file filename.

data = h5read(filename, dsetname, start, count) reads a subset of data from the dataset beginning at the location specified in start. count specifies the number of elements to read along each dimension.

data = h5read(filename, dsetname, start, count, stride) returns a subset of data with the interval between the indices of each dimension of the dataset specified by stride.

Input arguments:

filename

Filename of an existing HDF5 file, specified as a string

Dataset name, specified as a string scalar or character vector containing the name of an existing dataset in the HDF5 file.

Starting location, specified as a numeric vector of positive integers. For an n-dimensional dataset, start is a vector of length n containing 1-based indices. The elements of start correspond, in order, to the dataset dimensions. If any dimension of ds is unlimited, you must specify start.

If you do not specify start, then the h5write function starts writing to the dataset from the first index along each dimension.

Number of elements to write, specified as a numeric vector of positive integers. For an n-dimensional dataset, count is a vector of length n, specifying the number of elements to write to the dataset along each dimension. If any dimension of ds is unlimited, then count must be specified.

Optional spacing between elements along each dimension. For an n-dimensional dataset, stride is a vector of length n. A value of 1 reads without skipping elements in the corresponding dimension, a value of 2 reads every other element, and so on.
