+/**
+ * \ingroup H5O
+ * \def H5Oget_info
+ *
+ * #H5Oget_info is a macro that is mapped to:
+ * \li #H5Oget_info3
+ * \li #H5Oget_info1
+ *
+ * \details Such macros are provided to facilitate application
+ * compatibility. Their use and mappings are fully described in
+ * API Compatibility Macros in HDF5; we urge you to read that
+ * document closely.
+ *
+ * In HDF5 versions 1.12 and after, #H5Oget_info is mapped to
+ * #H5Oget_info3 and #H5Oget_info1 is deprecated.
+ * In version 1.10 #H5Oget_info is identical to #H5Oget_info1.
+ *
+ * Specific compile-time compatibility flags and the resulting
+ * mappings are as follows:
+ * \par
+ * <table>
+ * <tr>
+ * <th>Compatibility setting</th>
+ * <th>H5Oget_info</th>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>No compatibility flag \n &nbsp;</td>
+ * <td>#H5Oget_info3 (in release 1.12) \n
+ * #H5Oget_info1 (in 1.8 or 1.10)</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>Emulate Release 1.12</td>
+ * <td>#H5Oget_info3</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>Emulate Release 1.10/1.8 interface</td>
+ * <td>#H5Oget_info1</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * </table>
+ *
+ * \note If you are iterating through a lot of different objects to
+ * retrieve information via the #H5Oget_info family of routines,
+ * you may see memory building up. This can be due to memory
+ * allocation for metadata such as object headers and messages
+ * when the iterated objects are put into the metadata cache.
+ * \note
+ * If the memory buildup is not desirable, you can configure a
+ * smaller cache via #H5Fset_mdc_config or set the file access
+ * property list via #H5Pset_mdc_config. A smaller sized cache
+ * will force metadata entries to be evicted from the cache,
+ * thus freeing the memory associated with the entries.
+ *
+ * \version 1.12.0 The macro #H5Oget_info and the function #H5Oget_info3
+ * were added, and #H5Oget_info1 was deprecated.
+ * \version 1.10.5 The macro #H5Oget_info was removed. The functions
+ * #H5Oget_info1 and #H5Oget_info are identical
+ * in this release. This change was added to restore the
+ * broken API compatibility introduced in HDF5-1.10.3.
+ * \version 1.10.3 The function #H5Oget_info was renamed
+ * #H5Oget_info1. The macro #H5Oget_info and the function
+ * #H5Oget_info2 were introduced in this release.
+ * \version 1.8.15 Added a note about the valid values for the \c version field
+ * in the H5O_hdr_info_t structure.
+ * \version 1.8.11 Fortran subroutine introduced in this release.
+ * \version 1.8.10 Added #H5O_type_t structure to the Description section.
+ * Separated H5O_hdr_info_t structure from
+ * #H5O_info_t in the Description section. Clarified the
+ * definition and implementation of the time fields.
+ *
+ * \since 1.8.0
