+<h1>HDF5 Library Environment Variables and Configuration Parameters</h1>
+
+<h2>1. Environment Variables</h2>
+
+The HDF5 library uses UNIX environment variables to control
+or adjust certain library features at runtime. The variables and
+their defined effects are as follows:
+
+<dir>
+<dl>
+ <dt><tt>HDF5_DEBUG</tt>
+ <dd>Defines a list of debugging switches documented in the
+ <a href="Debugging.html">Debugging</a> section of the
+ <cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite>.
+
+ <dt><tt>HDF5_NOCLEANUP</tt>
+ <dd>When set to a non-empty value, the programs in the test
+ directory do not remove temporary HDF5 data files.
+ The default is for each test to remove the files before exit.
+
+ <dt><tt>HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES</tt>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;(for parallel beta version only)
+ <dd>When set to <code>1</code>, PHDF5 will use the MPI optimized
+ code to perform parallel read/write accesses to datasets.
+ Currently, this optimization fails when accessing extendable
+ datasets. The default is not to use the optimized code.
+
+ <dt><tt>HDF5_MPI_1_METAWRITE</tt>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;(for parallel beta version only)
+ <dd>When set to <code>1</code>, PHDF5 will write the metadata
+ via process 0 of each opened parallel HDF5 file. This should
+ improve I/O throughput. The default is not to use this
+ optimization.
+
+</dl>
+</dir>
+
+<h2>2. Configuration Parameters</h2>
+
+The HDF5 configuration script accepts a list of parameters to control
+configuration features when creating the Makefiles for the library.
+The command
+<br>
+<code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;configure --help </code>
+<br>
+will display the current list of parameters and their effects.
