HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format 5) is a high-performance library and file format for storing and managing large, complex data. This package provides the static libraries and headers for the HDF5 C library (release 2.0.0). It is intended for R package developers to use in the LinkingTo field, which eliminates the need for users to install system-level HDF5 dependencies. This build is compiled with thread-safety enabled and supports dynamic loading of external compression filters. HDF5 is developed by The HDF Group <https://www.hdfgroup.org/>.
