/**\defgroup H5I H5I
*
* Use the functions in this module to manage identifiers defined by the HDF5
* library. See \ref H5IUD for user-defined identifiers and identifier
* types.
*
* HDF5 identifiers are usually created as a side-effect of creating HDF5
* entities such as groups, datasets, attributes, or property lists.
*
* Identifiers defined by the HDF5 library can be used to retrieve information
* such as path names and reference counts, and their validity can be checked.
*
* Identifiers can be updated by manipulating their reference counts.
*
* Unused identifiers should be reclaimed by closing the associated item, e.g.,
* HDF5 object, or decrementing the reference count to 0.
*
* \note Identifiers (of type \ref hid_t) are run-time auxiliaries and
* not persisted in the file.

* \ingroup H5I
*
* The \ref H5I module contains functions to define new identifier types.
* For convenience, handles of type \ref hid_t can then be associated with the
* new identifier types and user objects.
*
* New identifier types can be created by registering a new identifier type
* with the HDF5 library. Once a new identifier type has bee registered,
* it can be used to generate identifiers for user objects.
*
* User-defined identifier types can be searched and iterated.
*
* Like library-defined identifiers, user-defined identifiers \Emph{and}
* identifier types are reference counted, and the reference counts can be
* manipulated accordingly.
*
* User-defined identifiers no longer in use should be deleted or reclaimed,
* and identifier types should be destroyed if they are no longer required.
