+6.1 Using the C++ API
+ To use the C++ API, one must include the header file H5Cpp.h
+ in the application. Please refer to the examples in c++/examples
+ for sample code.
+
+ A doxygen-generated Reference Manual of the C++ API is provided
+ in the doc/html/cpplus_RM directory. It can be invoked from
+ index.html. If an updated version or a different format is
+ desired, users can re-generate this document with Doxygen.
+
+ When running in c++/src, Doxygen will put the generated html
+ files in doc/html/cpplus_RM. Users may specify a different
+ location by editing the field OUTPUT_DIRECTORY in the configuration
+ file c++/src/cpp_doc_config. The field HTML_STYLESHEET specifies
+ the stylesheet that can be used to change the document layout.
