// Description
-// This function calls H5Pcreate to create a new property list
-// if the given id, plist_id, is that of a property class. If
-// the given id is equal to H5P_ROOT, then set this
-// property's id to H5P_DEFAULT, otherwise, to the given id.
-// Note: someone else added this code without comments and this
-// description was what I came up with from reading the code.
+// This function creates a new property list if a property
+// class is provided or makes a copy of a property list if one
+// is given. If the given id is anything else, then set this
+// property's id to H5P_DEFAULT.
