!  If you add a new H5G function you must add the function name to the
!  Windows dll file 'hdf5_fortrandll.def.in' in the fortran/src directory.
!  This is needed for Windows based operating systems.

!                  hard link. Can be anything for the soft link.
!  link_type 	 - link type; possible values are:
!                    H5G_LINK_HARD_F (0)
!                    H5G_LINK_SOFT_F (1)
!  new_loc_id 	 - new location identifier

! NAME
!  h5gget_info_by_idx_f
!
! PURPOSE
!  Retrieves information about a group, according to the group’s position within an index.
!
! INPUTS
!  loc_id 	 - File or group identifier
!  group_name 	 - Name of group containing group for which information is to be retrieved
!  index_type 	 - Index type
!  order 	 - Order of the count in the index
!  n 	         - Position in the index of the group for which information is retrieved
!
! OUTPUTS
!  storage_type  - Type of storage for links in group
!                    H5G_STORAGE_TYPE_COMPACT: Compact storage
!                    H5G_STORAGE_TYPE_DENSE: Indexed storage
!                    H5G_STORAGE_TYPE_SYMBOL_TABLE: Symbol tables, the original HDF5 structure
!  nlinks 	 - Number of links in group
!  max_corder 	 - Current maximum creation order value for group
!  hdferr 	 - Returns 0 if successful and -1 if fails
! OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
!  lapl_id 	 - Link access property list
!  mounted 	 - Whether group has a file mounted on it
!
! NOTES
!  In C the output is defined as a structure: H5G_info_t
