+ * \brief Registers a user-defined link class or changes behavior of an
+ * existing class
+ *
+ * \param[in] cls Pointer to a buffer containing the struct describing the
+ * user-defined link class
+ *
+ * \return \herr_t
+ *
+ * \details H5Lregister() registers a class of user-defined links, or changes
+ * the behavior of an existing class.
+ *
+ * \p cls is a pointer to a buffer containing a copy of the
+ * H5L_class_t struct. This struct is defined in H5Lpublic.h as
+ * follows:
+ * \snippet this H5L_class_t_snip
+ *
+ * The class definition passed with \p cls must include at least the
+ * following:
+ * \li An H5L_class_t version (which should be #H5L_LINK_CLASS_T_VERS)
+ * \li A link class identifier, \c class_id
+ * \li A traversal function, \c trav_func
+ *
+ * Remaining \c struct members are optional and may be passed as NULL.
+ *
+ * The link class passed in \c class_id must be in the user-definable
+ * range between #H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN and #H5L_TYPE_UD_MAX
+ * (see the table below) and will override
+ * any existing link class with that identifier.
+ *
+ * As distributed, valid values of \c class_id used in HDF5 include
+ * the following (defined in H5Lpublic.h):
+ * \link_types
+ *
+ * The hard and soft link class identifiers cannot be modified or
+ * reassigned, but the external link class is implemented as an
+ * example in the user-definable link class identifier range.
+ * H5Lregister() is used to register additional link classes. It could
+ * also be used to modify the behavior of the external link class,
+ * though that is not recommended.
+ *
+ * The following table summarizes existing link types and values and
+ * the reserved and user-definable link class identifier value ranges.
+ * <table>
+ * <tr>
+ * <th>Link class identifier or Value range</th>
+ * <th>Description</th>
+ * <th>Link class or label</th>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>0 to 63</td>
+ * <td>Reserved range</td>
+ * <td></td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>64 to 255</td>
+ * <td>User-definable range</td>
+ * <td></td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>64</td>
+ * <td>Minimum user-defined value</td>
+ * <td>#H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>64</td>
+ * <td>External link</td>
+ * <td>#H5L_TYPE_EXTERNAL</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>255</td>
+ * <td>Maximum user-defined value</td>
+ * <td>#H5L_TYPE_UD_MAX</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>255</td>
+ * <td>Maximum value</td>
+ * <td>#H5L_TYPE_MAX</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>-1</td>
+ * <td>Error</td>
+ * <td>#H5L_TYPE_ERROR</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * </table>
+ *
+ * Note that HDF5 internally registers user-defined link classes only
+ * by the numeric value of the link class identifier. An application,
+ * on the other hand, will generally use a name for a user-defined
+ * class, if for no other purpose than as a variable name. Assume,
+ * for example, that a complex link type is registered with the link
+ * class identifier 73 and that the code includes the following
+ * assignment:
+ * \code
+ * H5L_TYPE_COMPLEX_A = 73
+ * \endcode
+ * The application can refer to the link class with a term,
+ * \c H5L_TYPE_COMPLEX_A, that conveys meaning to a human reviewing
+ * the code, while HDF5 recognizes it by the more cryptic numeric
+ * identifier, 73.
+ *
+ * \attention Important details and considerations include the following:
+ * \li If you plan to distribute files or software with a
+ * user-defined link class, please contact the Help Desk at
+ * The HDF Group to help prevent collisions between \c class_id
+ * values. See below.
+ * \li As distributed with HDF5, the external link class is
+ * implemented as an example of a user-defined link class with
+ * #H5L_TYPE_EXTERNAL equal to #H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN. \c class_id in
+ * the H5L_class_t \c struct must not equal #H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN
+ * unless you intend to overwrite or modify the behavior of
+ * external links.
+ * \li H5Lregister() can be used only with link class identifiers
+ * in the user-definable range (see table above).
+ * \li The hard and soft links defined by the HDF5 library,
+ * #H5L_TYPE_HARD and #H5L_TYPE_SOFT, reside in the reserved
+ * range below #H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN and cannot be redefined or
+ * modified.
+ * \li H5Lis_registered() can be used to determine whether a desired
+ * link class identifier is available. \Emph{Note that this
+ * function will tell you only whether the link class identifier
+ * has been registered with the installed copy of HDF5; it
+ * cannot tell you whether the link class has been registered
+ * with The HDF Group.}
+ * \li #H5L_TYPE_MAX is the maximum allowed value for a link type
+ * identifier.
+ * \li #H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN equals #H5L_TYPE_EXTERNAL.
+ * \li #H5L_TYPE_UD_MAX equals #H5L_TYPE_MAX.
+ * \li #H5L_TYPE_ERROR indicates that an error has occurred.
+ *
+ * \note \Bold{Registration with The HDF Group:}\n
+ * There are sometimes reasons to take a broader approach to registering
+ * a user-defined link class than just invoking H5Lregister(). For
+ * example:
+ * \li A user-defined link class is intended for use across an
+ * organization, among collaborators, or across a community of users.
+ * \li An application or library overlying HDF5 invokes a user-defined
+ * link class that must be shipped with the software.
+ * \li Files are distributed that make use of a user-defined link class.
+ * \li Or simply, a specific user-defined link class is thought to be
+ * widely useful.
+ *
+ * In such cases, you are encouraged to register that link class with
+ * The HDF Group's Helpdesk. The HDF Group maintains a registry of known
+ * user-defined link classes and tracks the selected link class
+ * identifiers. This registry is intended to reduce the risk of
+ * collisions between \c class_id values and to help coordinate the use
+ * of specialized link classes.
+ *
+ * \since 1.8.0
