An external link is a soft link to an object in a different HDF5 file from the location of the link, i.e., to an external object.</p>
+<p><code>file_name</code> identifies the target file containing the target object; <code>obj_name</code> specifies the path of the target object within that file. <code>obj_name</code> must be an absolute pathname in <code>file_name</code>, i.e., it must start at the target file’s root group, but it is not interpreted until an application attempts to traverse it.</p>
+<p><code>link_loc_id</code> and <code>link_name</code> specify the location and name, respectively, of the new link. <code>link_name</code> is interpreted relative to <code>link_loc_id</code>.</p>

+<p><code>lapl_id</code> is the link access property list used in traversing the new link. Note that an external file opened by the traversal of an external link is always opened with the weak file close degree property setting, <a class="el" href="_h5_fpublic_8h.html#aa85fa00d037d2b0401cf72edf9a6475faea1127311a219b44e4af3cb12609035f">H5F_CLOSE_WEAK</a> (see <a class="el" href="group___f_a_p_l.html#ga60e3567f677fd3ade75b909b636d7b9c" title="Sets the file close degree.">H5Pset_fclose_degree()</a>); any file close degree property setting in <code>lapl_id</code> is ignored.</p>
+<p>An external link behaves similarly to a soft link, and like a soft link in an HDF5 file, it may dangle: the target file and object need not exist at the time that the external link is created.</p>
+<p>When the external link <code>link_name</code> is accessed, the library will search for the target file <code>file_name</code> as described below:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>If <code>file_name</code> is a relative pathname, the following steps are performed:<ul>
+<li>The library will get the prefix(es) set in the environment variable <code>HDF5_EXT_PREFIX</code> and will try to prepend each prefix to <code>file_name</code> to form a new <code>file_name</code>.</li>
+<li>If the new <code>file_name</code> does not exist or if <code>HDF5_EXT_PREFIX</code> is not set, the library will get the prefix set via <a class="el" href="group___l_a_p_l.html#gafa5eced13ba3a00cdd65669626dc7294" title="Sets prefix to be applied to external link paths.">H5Pset_elink_prefix()</a> and prepend it to <code>file_name</code> to form a new <code>file_name</code>.</li>
+<li>If the new <code>file_name</code> does not exist or no prefix is being set by <a class="el" href="group___l_a_p_l.html#gafa5eced13ba3a00cdd65669626dc7294" title="Sets prefix to be applied to external link paths.">H5Pset_elink_prefix()</a>, then the path of the file associated with <code>link_loc_id</code> is obtained. This path can be the absolute path or the current working directory plus the relative path of that file when it is created/opened. The library will prepend this path to <code>file_name</code> to form a new <code>file_name</code>.</li>
+<li>If the new <code>file_name</code> does not exist, then the library will look for <code>file_name</code> and will return failure/success accordingly.</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>If <code>file_name</code> is an absolute pathname, the library will first try to find <code>file_name</code>. If <code>file_name</code> does not exist, <code>file_name</code> is stripped of directory paths to form a new <code>file_name</code>. The search for the new <code>file_name</code> then follows the same steps as described above for a relative pathname. See examples below illustrating how target_file_name is stripped to form a new <code>file_name</code>.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Note that <code>file_name</code> is considered to be an absolute pathname when the following condition is true:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>For Unix, the first character of <code>file_name</code> is a slash (<code>/</code>). For example, consider a <code>file_name</code> of <code>/tmp/A</code>.h5. If that target file does not exist, the new <code>file_name</code> after stripping will be <code>A.h5</code>.</li>
+<li>For Windows, there are 6 cases:<ol type="1">
+<li><code>file_name</code> is an absolute drive with an absolute pathname. For example, consider a <code>file_name</code> of <code>/tmp/A</code>.h5. If that target file does not exist, the new <code>file_name</code> after stripping will be <code>A.h5</code>.</li>
+<li><code>file_name</code> is an absolute pathname without specifying drive name. For example, consider a <code>file_name</code> of <code>/tmp/A</code>.h5. If that target file does not exist, the new <code>file_name</code> after stripping will be <code>A.h5</code>.</li>
+<li><code>file_name</code> is an absolute drive with a relative pathname. For example, consider a <code>file_name</code> of <code>/tmp/A</code>.h5. If that target file does not exist, the new <code>file_name</code> after stripping will be <code>tmp\A.h5</code>.</li>
+<li><code>file_name</code> is in UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) format with a server name, share name, and pathname. For example, consider a <code>file_name</code> of <code>/tmp/A</code>.h5. If that target file does not exist, the new <code>file_name</code> after stripping will be <code>A.h5</code>.</li>
+<li><code>file_name</code> is in Long UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) format with a server name, share name, and pathname. For example, consider a <code>file_name</code> of <code>/tmp/A</code>.h5. If that target file does not exist, the new <code>file_name</code> after stripping will be <code>A.h5</code>.</li>
+<li><code>file_name</code> is in Long UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) format with an absolute drive and an absolute pathname. For example, consider a <code>file_name</code> of <code>/tmp/A</code>.h5. If that target file does not exist, the new <code>file_name</code> after stripping will be <code>A.h5</code>.</li>
+</ol>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The library opens the target file <code>file_name</code> with the file access property list that is set via <a class="el" href="group___l_a_p_l.html#ga3895e8e60ce8f0b6f32ab7a22c715d1a" title="Sets a file access property list for use in accessing a file pointed to by an external link.">H5Pset_elink_fapl()</a> when the external link link_name is accessed. If no such property list is set, the library uses the file access property list associated with the file of <code>link_loc_id</code> to open the target file.</p>
+<p>If an application requires additional control over file access flags or the file access property list, see <a class="el" href="group___l_a_p_l.html#ga8850042eed51777866d7bd0d050cfdc2" title="Sets the external link traversal callback function in a link access property list.">H5Pset_elink_cb()</a>; this function enables the use of an external link callback function as described in <a class="el" href="_h5_lpublic_8h.html#a96345937d04b66a13baec1ef1a6cff76" title="Callback for external link traversal.">H5L_elink_traverse_t()</a>.</p>

The link may be of any type; only the presence of a link with that name is checked.</p>
+<p>Note that <a class="el" href="group___h5_l.html#ga171be6e41dc1a464edc402df0ebdf801" title="Determines whether a link with the specified name exists in a group.">H5Lexists()</a> verifies only that the target link exists. If name includes either a relative path or an absolute path to the target link, intermediate steps along the path must be verified before the existence of the target link can be safely checked.

The example in the next paragraph illustrates one step-by-step method for verifying the existence of a link with a relative or absolute path.</p>
+<p><b>Example:</b> Use the following steps to verify the existence of the link <code>datasetD</code> in the <code>group</code> group1/group2/softlink_to_group3/, where <code>group1</code> is a member of the group specified by <code>loc_id:</code> </p>
+<ol type="1">
+<li>First, use <a class="el" href="group___h5_l.html#ga171be6e41dc1a464edc402df0ebdf801" title="Determines whether a link with the specified name exists in a group.">H5Lexists()</a> to verify that the <code>group1</code> exists.</li>
+<li>If <code>group1</code> exists, use <a class="el" href="group___h5_l.html#ga171be6e41dc1a464edc402df0ebdf801" title="Determines whether a link with the specified name exists in a group.">H5Lexists()</a> again, this time with name set to <code>group1/group2</code>, to verify that <code>group2</code> exists.</li>
+<li>If <code>group2</code> exists, use <a class="el" href="group___h5_l.html#ga171be6e41dc1a464edc402df0ebdf801" title="Determines whether a link with the specified name exists in a group.">H5Lexists()</a> with name set to <code>group1/group2/softlink_to_group3</code> to verify that <code>softlink_to_group3</code> exists.</li>
+<li>If <code>softlink_to_group3</code> exists, you can now safely use <a class="el" href="group___h5_l.html#ga171be6e41dc1a464edc402df0ebdf801" title="Determines whether a link with the specified name exists in a group.">H5Lexists()</a> with <code>name</code> set to <code>group1/group2/softlink_to_group3/datasetD</code> to verify that the target link, <code>datasetD</code>, exists.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>If the link to be verified is specified with an absolute path, the same approach should be used, but starting with the first link in the file’s root group. For instance, if <code>datasetD</code> were in <code>/group1/group2/softlink_to_group3</code>, the first call to <a class="el" href="group___h5_l.html#ga171be6e41dc1a464edc402df0ebdf801" title="Determines whether a link with the specified name exists in a group.">H5Lexists()</a> would have name set to <code>/group1</code>.</p>
+<p>Note that this is an outline and does not include all the necessary details. Depending on circumstances, for example, you may need to verify that an intermediate link points to a group and that a soft link points to an existing target.</p>
+<dl class="section note"><dt>Note</dt><dd>The behavior of <a class="el" href="group___h5_l.html#ga171be6e41dc1a464edc402df0ebdf801" title="Determines whether a link with the specified name exists in a group.">H5Lexists()</a> was changed in the 1.10 release in the case where the root group, <code>"/"</code>, is the name of the link. This change is described below: <ol>
+<li>
+Let <code>file</code> denote a valid HDF5 file identifier, and let <code>lapl</code> denote a valid link access property list identifier. A call to <a class="el" href="group___h5_l.html#ga171be6e41dc1a464edc402df0ebdf801" title="Determines whether a link with the specified name exists in a group.">H5Lexists()</a> with arguments <code>file</code>, <code>"/"</code>, and <code>lapl</code> returns a positive value; in other words, <code>H5Lexists(file, "/", lapl)</code> returns a positive value. In the HDF5 1.8 release, this function returns 0. </li>
+<li>
+Let <code>root</code> denote a valid HDF5 group identifier that refers to the root group of an HDF5 file, and let <code>lapl</code> denote a valid link access property list identifier. A call to <a class="el" href="group___h5_l.html#ga171be6e41dc1a464edc402df0ebdf801" title="Determines whether a link with the specified name exists in a group.">H5Lexists()</a> with arguments c root, <code>"/"</code>, and <code>lapl</code> returns a positive value; in other words, <code>H5Lexists(root, "/", lapl)</code> returns a positive value. In the HDF5 1.8 release, this function returns 0. </li>
+</ol>
+Note that the function accepts link names and path names. This is potentially misleading to callers, and we plan to separate the functionality for link names and path names in a future release.</dd></dl>
