+ <dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5garbage_collect</code>(<em>void</em>)
+<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
+ <dd>Garbage collects on all free-lists of all types.
+<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
+ <dd><code>H5garbage_collect</code> walks through all the garbage
+ collection routines of the library, freeing any unused memory.
+ <p>
+ It is not required that <code>H5garbage_collect</code> be called
+ at any particular time; it is only necessary in certain situations
+ where the application has performed actions that cause the library
+ to allocate many objects. The application should call
+ <code>H5garbage_collect</code> if it eventually releases those
+ objects and wants to reduce the memory used by the library from
+ the peak usage required.
+ <p>
+ The library automatically garbage collects all the free lists
+ when the application ends.
+<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
+ <dl>
+ <dt>None.
+ </dl>
+<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
+ <dd>Returns a non-negative value if successful;
+ otherwise returns a negative value.
