[svn-r8719]
Purpose: To include new functionality. Description: Added twelve new functions: H5Iregister H5Iclear_type H5Iregister_type H5Iget_type_ref H5Idestroy_type H5Iget_file_id H5Iremove_verify H5Inmembers H5Iobject_verify H5Idec_type_ref H5Isearch H5Iinc_type_ref This is a checkin for technical content; an editorial checkin will follow, though not immediately. Platforms tested: Mozilla, IE, Safari

+<dt><strong>Name:</strong> <a name="Identify-Search">H5Isearch</a>
+<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
+ <dd><em>void *</em><code>H5Isearch</code>(<em>H5I_type_t</em> <code>type</code>,
+ <em>H5I_search_func_t</em> <code>func</code>, <em>void *</em><code>key</code>)
+<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
+ <dd>Finds the memory referred to by an ID within the given ID type such that
+ some criterion is satisfied.
+<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
+ <dd><code>H5Isearch</code> searches through a give ID type to find an object
+ that satisfies the criteria defined by <code>func</code>. If such an object
+ is found, the pointer to the memory containing this object is returned.
+ Otherwise, <code>NULL</code> is returned. To do this, <code>func</code> is
+ called on every member of <code>type</code>. The first member to satisfy
+ <code>func</code> is returned.
+
+ <p>
+ The <code>type</code> parameter is the identifier for the ID type which is
+ to be searched. This identifier must have been created by a call to
+ <code>H5Iregister_type</code>.
+
+ <p>
+ The parameter <code>func</code> is a function pointer to a function
+ which takes three parameters. The first parameter is a <em>void *</em>.
+ It will be a pointer the object to be tested. This is the same object
+ that was placed in storage using <code>H5Iregister</code>. The second
+ parameter is a <em>hid_t</em>. It is the ID of the object to be tested.
+ The last parameter is a <em>void *</em>. This is the <code>key</code> parameter
+ and can be used however the user finds helpful. Or it can simply be ignored
+ if it is not needed. <code>func</code> returns 0 if the object it is testing
+ does not pass its criteria. A non-zero value should be returned if the object
+ does pass its criteria.
+
+ <p>
+ The <code>key</code> parameter will be passed to the search function as a
+ parameter. It can be used to further define the search at run-time.
+<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
+ <ul>
+ <table>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top"><em>H5I_type_t</em> <code>type</code></td>
+ <td valign="top">IN: The identifier of the type to be searched</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top"><em>H5I_search_func_t</em>&nbsp;<code>func&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></td>
+ <td valign="top">IN: The function defining the search criteria</td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td valign="top"><em>void *</em><code>key</code></td>
+ <td valign="top">IN: A key for the search function</td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+ </ul>
+<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
+ <dd>Returns a pointer to the object which satisfies the search function
+ on success, <code>NULL</code> on failure.
+<dt><strong>Fortran90 Interface:</strong>
+ <dd>This function is not supported in FORTRAN 90.
