+ * \defgroup H5F H5F
+ *
+ * Use the functions in this module to manage HDF5 files.
+ *
+ * In the code snippets below, we show the skeletal life cycle of an HDF5 file,
+ * when creating a new file (left) or when opening an existing file (right).
+ * File creation is essentially controlled through \ref FCPL, and file access to
+ * new and existing files is controlled through \ref FAPL. The file \c name and
+ * creation or access \c mode control the interaction with the underlying
+ * storage such as file systems.
+ *
+ * \Emph{Proper error handling is part of the life cycle.}
+ * <table>

+ *
+ * In addition to general file management functions, there are three categories
+ * of functions that deal with advanced file management tasks and use cases:
+ * 1. The control of the HDF5 \ref MDC
+ * 2. The use of (MPI-) \ref PH5F HDF5
+ * 3. The \ref SWMR pattern
