\title{Saves a series of objects to an HDF5 file.}
\description{Saves a number of R objects to an HDF5 file.}
\usage{
h5save(..., file, name = NULL, createnewfile = TRUE)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{\dots}{The objects to be saved.}
  \item{file}{The filename (character) of the file in which the dataset will be located. For advanced programmers it is possible to provide an object of class \code{\link{H5IdComponent}} representing a H5 location identifier (file or group). See \code{\link{H5Fcreate}}, \code{\link{H5Fopen}}, \code{\link{H5Gcreate}}, \code{\link{H5Gopen}} to create an object of this kind.}
  \item{name}{A character vector of names for the datasets. The length of the name vector should match the number of objects.}
  \item{createnewfile}{If TRUE, a new file will be created if necessary.}
}
\details{
The objects will be saved to the HDF5 file. If the file does not exists it will be created. The data can be read again by either \code{\link{h5dump}} or individually for each dataset by \code{\link{h5read}}.
}
\value{Nothing returned.}
