[svn-r680] H5.user.html
A little editorial cleanup. Added link to Ragged.html, Ragged Arrays. Added link to Environment.html, Environmental Variables and Configuration Parameters. Added link to Copyright.html. Ragged.html Added "Use at your own risk" notice. Environment.html New file for environmental variables and configuration parameters. Datatypes.html Added the following datatypes: H5T_NATIVE_HSIZE H5T_NATIVE_HSSIZE H5T_NATIVE_HERR H5T_NATIVE_HBOOL Section 8, "Data Conversions" Added named link tag to catch hyperlink from RM. Revised "Note:" to emphasize limited inate data-conversion capability. Copyright.html New file. Copyright statement, linked into User's Guide and Reference Manual. Glossary.html Unlinked for Beta. General Changed email link at bottom of "user guide level documents" (as contrasted with "developer guide level documents" listed on the lower half of the User's Guide front page) to HDF Help Desk, hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu. Changed the following function names: From: To: H5version H5get_libversion H5vers_check H5check_version H5Anum_attrs H5Aget_num_attrs H5Fget_create_template() H5Fget_create_plist() H5Fget_access_template() H5Fget_access_plist() H5Gstat H5Gget_stat H5Sextent_npoints H5Sget_simple_extent_npoints H5Sextent_ndims H5Sget_simple_extent_ndims H5Sextent_dims H5Sget_simple_extent_dims H5Sget_class H5Sget_simple_extent_type H5Sselect_npoints H5Sget_select_npoints
