+/**
+ * \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
+ * \ref H5Oget_info3() and \ref H5Oget_info1() is deprecated.
+ * In version 1.10 #H5Oget_info is identical to \ref 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</td>
+ * <td>\ref H5Oget_info3() (in release 1.12)</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ <td></td>
+ * <td>\ref H5Oget_info1() (in 1.8 or 1.10)</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>Emulate Release 1.12</td>
+ * <td>\ref H5Oget_info3()</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>Emulate Release 1.10/1.8 interface</td>
+ * <td>\ref 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.
