FileSet.link(other_fileset, linker=None)

Link this fileset with another FileSet

If one file is read from this fileset, its corresponding file from other_fileset will be read, too. Their content will then be merged by using the file handler’s data merging function. If it is not implemented, it tries to derive a standard merging function from known data types.

Parameters:

• other_fileset – Other FileSet-like object.

• linker – Reference to a function that searches for the corresponding file in other_fileset for a given file from this fileset. Must accept other_fileset as first and a FileInfo object as parameters. It must return a FileInfo of the corresponding file. If none is given, get_filename() will be used as default.

Returns:

None
