<p>
The Error interface provides error handling in the form of a stack.
The <code>FUNC_ENTER()</code> macro clears the error stack whenever
an interface function is entered.
When an error is detected, an entry is pushed onto the stack.
As the functions unwind, additional entries are pushed onto the stack.
The API function will return some indication that an error occurred and
the application can print the error stack.
<p>
Certain API functions in the H5E package, such as <code>H5Eprint</code>,
do not clear the error stack. Otherwise, any function which
does not have an underscore immediately after the package name
will clear the error stack. For instance, <code>H5Fopen</code>
clears the error stack while <code>H5F_open</code> does not.
<p>
An error stack has a fixed maximum size.
If this size is exceeded then the stack will be truncated and only the
inner-most functions will have entries on the stack.
This is expected to be a rare condition.
<p>
Each thread has its own error stack, but since
multi-threading has not been added to the library yet, this
package maintains a single error stack. The error stack is
statically allocated to reduce the complexity of handling
errors within the H5E package.

<dl>
<dt><strong>Name:</strong> <a name="Error-Clear">H5Eclear</a>
<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
<dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Eclear</code>(<code>void</code>)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Clears the error stack for the current thread.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Eclear</code> clears the error stack for the current thread.
<p>
The stack is also cleared whenever an API function is called,
with certain exceptions (for instance, <code>H5Eprint</code>).
<p>
<code>H5Eclear</code> can fail if there are problems initializing
the library.

<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Eget_auto</code> returns the current settings for the
automatic error stack traversal function, <code>func</code>,
and its data, <code>client_data</code>. Either (or both)
arguments may be null in which case the value is not returned.

<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Eset_auto</code> turns on or off automatic printing of
errors. When turned on (non-null <code>func</code> pointer),
any API function which returns an error indication will
first call <code>func</code>, passing it <code>client_data</code>

<p>
When the library is first initialized the auto printing function
is set to <code>H5Eprint</code> (cast appropriately) and
<code>client_data</code> is the standard error stream pointer,
<code>stderr</code>.
<p>
Automatic stack traversal is always in the
<code>H5E_WALK_DOWNWARD</code> direction.

<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Walks the error stack for the current thread, calling a specified
function.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Ewalk</code> walks the error stack for the current thread
and calls the specified function for each error along the way.
<p>
<code>direction</code> determines whether the stack is walked
from the inside out or the outside in.
A value of <code>H5E_WALK_UPWARD</code> means begin with the
most specific error and end at the API;
a value of <code>H5E_WALK_DOWNWARD</code> means to start at the
API and end at the inner-most function where the error was first
detected.
<p>
<code>func</code> will be called for each error in the error stack.
Its arguments will include an index number (beginning at zero
regardless of stack traversal direction), an error stack entry,
and the <code>client_data</code> pointer passed to
<code>H5E_print</code>.
The <code>H5E_walk_t</code> prototype is as follows:
<dir>
<p>
<code>typedef</code> <em>herr_t</em> <code>(*H5E_walk_t)(</code><em>int</em> <code>n,</code>
<em>H5E_error_t *</em><code>err_desc,</code>
<em>void *</em><code>client_data)</code>
<p>
where the parameters have the following meanings:
<dl>
<dt><em>int</em> <code>n</code>
<dd>Indexed position of the error in the stack.
<dt><em>H5E_error_t *</em><code>err_desc</code>
<dd>Pointer to a data structure describing the error.
<em>(This structure is currently described only in the
source code file </em><code>hdf5/src/H5Epublic.h</code><em>.
That file also contains the definitive list of major
and minor error codes. That information will
eventually be presented as an appendix to this
<cite>Reference Manual</cite>.)</em>
<dt><em>void *</em><code>client_data</code>
<dd>Pointer to client data in the format expected by
the user-defined function.
</dl>
</dir>
<p>
<code>H5Ewalk</code> can fail if there are problems initializing
the library.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<ul><table>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><em>H5E_direction_t</em> <code>direction </code></td>
<td valign="top">IN: Direction in which the error stack is to be walked.</td></tr>
<tr>

<tr>

<dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Ewalk_cb</code>(<em>int</em> <code>n</code>,
<em>H5E_error_t *</em><code>err_desc</code>,
<em>void</em> <code>*client_data</code>
)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Default error stack traversal callback function
that prints error messages to the specified output stream.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Ewalk_cb</code> is a default error stack traversal callback
function that prints error messages to the specified output stream.
It is not meant to be called directly but rather as an
argument to the <code>H5Ewalk</code> function.
This function is called also by <code>H5Eprint</code>.
Application writers are encouraged to use this function as a
model for their own error stack walking functions.
<p>
<code>n</code> is a counter for how many times this function
has been called for this particular traversal of the stack.
It always begins at zero for the first error on the stack
(either the top or bottom error, or even both, depending on
the traversal direction and the size of the stack).
<p>
<code>err_desc</code> is an error description. It contains all the
information about a particular error.
<p>
<code>client_data</code> is the same pointer that was passed as the
<code>client_data</code> argument of <code>H5Ewalk</code>.
It is expected to be a file pointer (or stderr if NULL).
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<ul><table>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><em>int</em> <code>n</code></td>
<td valign="top">IN/OUT: Number of times this function has been called
for this traversal of the stack.</td></tr>
<tr>
