+ <dd><code>H5Tget_native_type</code> returns the equivalent native datatype
+ for the dataset datatype specified in <code>type_id</code>.
+ <p>
+ <code>H5Tget_native_type</code> is a high-level function designed
+ primarily to facilitate use of the <code>H5Dread</code> function,
+ for which users otherwise must undertake a multi-step process to
+ determine the native datatype of a dataset prior to reading it
+ into memory.
+ It can be used not only to determine
+ the native datatype for atomic datatypes,
+ but also to determine the native datatypes of the individual components of
+ a compound datatype, an enumerated datatype, an array datatype, or
+ a variable-length datatype.
+ <p>
+ <code>H5Tget_native_type</code> selects the matching native datatype
+ from the following list:
+ <pre> H5T_NATIVE_CHAR
+ H5T_NATIVE_SHORT
+ H5T_NATIVE_INT
+ H5T_NATIVE_LONG
+ H5T_NATIVE_LLONG
+
+ H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR
+ H5T_NATIVE_USHORT
+ H5T_NATIVE_UINT
+ H5T_NATIVE_ULONG
+ H5T_NATIVE_ULLONG
+
+ H5T_NATIVE_FLOAT
+ H5T_NATIVE_DOUBLE
+ H5T_NATIVE_LDOUBLE</pre>
+ <p>
+ The <code>direction</code> parameter indicates the order
+ in which the library searches for a native datatype match.
+ Valid values for <code>direction</code> are as follows:
+ <table border=0>
+ <tr valign=top><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td>
+ <code>H5T_DIR_ASCEND</code></td><td>
+ Searches the above list in ascending size of the datatype,<br>
+ i.e., from top to bottom. (Default)
+ </td></tr>
+ <tr valign=top><td>&nbsp;</td><td>
+ <code>H5T_DIR_DESCEND</code>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td>
+ Searches the above list in descending size of the datatype,<br>
+ i.e., from bottom to top.
+ </td></tr>
+ </table>
+ <p>
+ <code>H5Tget_native_type</code> is designed primarily for
+ use with intenger and floating point datatypes.
+ Time, bifield, opaque, and reference datatypes are returned
+ as a copy of <code>type_id</code>.
+<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>
+ <dd>Datatype identifier for the dataset datatype.
+ <dt><em>H5T_direction_t</em> <code>direction</code>
+ <dd>Direction of search.
+ </dl>
+<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
+ <dd>Returns the native datatype identifier for the
+ specified dataset datatype if successful;
+ otherwise returns a negative value.
