# PetscViewerHDF5Load

Read a raw array from the `PETSCVIEWERHDF5` dataset in parallel

## Synopsis

    #include "petsclayoutdf5.h"
    #include "petscis.h"
    PetscErrorCode PetscViewerHDF5Load(PetscViewer viewer, const char name[], PetscLayout map, hid_t datatype, void **newarr)

Collective; No Fortran Support

## Input Parameters

- viewer - The `PETSCVIEWERHDF5` viewer

- name - The dataset name

- datatype - The HDF5 datatype of the items in the dataset

## Input/Output Parameter

- map - The layout which specifies array partitioning, on output the set up layout (with global size and blocksize according to dataset)

## Output Parameter

- newarr - The partitioned array, a memory image of the given dataset

## Notes

This is intended mainly for internal use; users should use higher level routines such as `ISLoad()`, `VecLoad()`, `DMLoad()`.

The array is partitioned according to the given `PetscLayout` which is converted to an HDF5 hyperslab.

This name is relative to the current group returned by `PetscViewerHDF5OpenGroup()`.
