+<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
+ <dd>Retrieves information about a filter.
+<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
+ <dd>
+ <code>H5Zget_filter_info</code> retrieves information about a filter.
+ At present, this means that the function retrieves a
+ filter's configuration flags, indicating whether the filter is
+ configured to decode data, to encode data, neither, or both.
+ <p>
+ If <code>filter_config_flags</code> is not set to <small>NULL</small>
+ prior to the function call, the returned parameter contains a
+ bit field specifying the available filter configuration.
+ The configuration flag values can then be determined through
+ a series of bitwise <small>AND</small> operations, as described below.
+ <p>
+ Valid filter configuration flags include the following:
+ <table>
+ <tr><td><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></td>
+ <td><code>H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED</code></td>
+ <td>Encoding is enabled for this filter
+ </td></tr>
+ <tr><td>&nbsp;</td>
+ <td><code>H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_DECODE_ENABLED</code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
+ <td>Decoding is enabled for this filter
+ </td></tr>
+ <tr><td>&nbsp;</td>
+ <td colspan="2" align="right"><small>(These flags
+ are defined in the HDF5 Library source code file
+ <code>H5Zpublic.h</code>.)</small>
+ </td></tr>
+ </table>
+ A bitwise <small>AND</small> of the returned
+ <code>filter_config_flags</code> and a valid
+ filter configuration flag will reveal whether
+ the related configuration option is available.
+ For example, if the value of
+ <br>
+ <code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
+ H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED
+ &amp;
+ filter_config_flags</code>
+ <br>
+ is true, i.e., greater than <code>0</code> (zero),
+ the queried filter is configured to encode data;
+ if the value is <code>FALSE</code>,
+ i.e., equal to <code>0</code> (zero),
+ the filter is not so configured.
+ <p>
+ If a filter is not encode-enabled, the corresponding
+ <code>H5Pset_*</code> function will return an error if the
+ filter is added to a dataset creation property list (which is
+ required if the filter is to be used to encode that dataset).
+ For example, if the <code>H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED</code>
+ flag is not returned for the SZIP filter,
+ <code>H5Z_FILTER_SZIP</code>, a call to <code>H5Pset_szip</code>
+ will fail.
+ <p>
+ If a filter is not decode-enabled, the application will not be
+ able to read an existing file encoded with that filter.
+ <p>
+ This function should be called, and the returned
+ <code>filter_config_flags</code> analyzed, before calling
+ any other function, such as <code>H5Pset_szip</code>,
+ that might require a particular filter configuration.
