+\li \ref H5D "Datasets" — Management of HDF5 datasets (\ref H5D)
+\li \ref H5S "Dataspaces" — Management of HDF5 dataspaces which describe the shape of datasets and attributes (\ref H5S)
+\li \ref H5T "Datatypes" — Management of datatypes which describe elements of datasets and attributes (\ref H5T)
+\li \ref H5E "Error Handling" — Functions for handling HDF5 errors (\ref H5E)
+\li \ref H5ES "Event Sets" — Functions for handling HDF5 event sets (\ref H5ES)
+\li \ref H5F "Files" — Management of HDF5 files (\ref H5F)
+\li \ref H5Z "Filters" — Configuration of filters that process data during I/O operation (\ref H5Z)

+\li \ref H5VL "Virtual Object Layer" — Management of the Virtual Object Layer (\ref H5VL)
+
+\par Asynchronous Functions
+ A subset of functions has \ref ASYNC "asynchronous variants".
+
+\par API Versioning
+ See \ref api-compat-macros
+
+\par Deprecated Functions and Types
+ A list of deprecated functions and types can be found
+ <a href="./deprecated.html">here</a>.
+
+\par Etiquette
+ Here are a few simple rules to follow:
+ \li \Bold{Handle discipline:} If you acquire a handle (by creation or copy), \Emph{you own it!} (..., i.e., you have to close it.)
+ \li \Bold{Dynamic memory allocation:} ...
+ \li \Bold{Use of locations:} Identifier + name combo
