<dt><strong>Name:</strong> <a name="Datatype-Commit">H5Tcommit</a>
<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
    <dd><em>herr_t</em><code>H5Tcommit</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>loc_id</code>,
        <em>const char *</em> <code>name</code>,
        <em>hid_t</em> <code>type</code>
    )
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
    <dd>Commits a transient datatype to a file, creating a new named datatype.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Tcommit</code> commits a transient datatype 
        (not immutable) to a file, turned it into a named datatype.  
        The <code>loc_id</code> is either a file or group identifier  
        which, when combined with <code>name</code>, refers to a new 
        named datatype.
        <p>
        As is the case for any object in a group, 
        the length of the name of a named datatype is not limited.  
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
    <ul><table>
        <tr>
		  <td valign="top"><em>hid_t</em> <code>loc_id</code></td>
          <td valign="top">IN: A file or group identifier.</td></tr>
        <tr>
		  <td valign="top"><em>const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*</em>&nbsp;<code>name&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></td>
          <td valign="top">IN: A datatype name.</td></tr>
        <tr>
		  <td valign="top"><em>hid_t</em> <code>type</code></td>
          <td valign="top">IN: A datatype identifier.</td></tr>
    </table></ul>
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
    <dd>Returns a non-negative value if successful;
        otherwise returns a negative value.
