<h1>HDF5: API Specification<br>Reference Manual</h1>
</center>
The HDF5 library provides several interfaces, each of which provides the
tools required to meet specific aspects of the HDF5 data-handling requirements.
<p>
<i><strong>A note regarding the prototype FORTRAN90 APIs:</strong><br>
This version of the </i>HDF5 Reference Manual<i> includes a description
of a partial FORTRAN90 <strong>prototype</strong> API to HDF5.
Prototype Fortran subroutines exist in the H5A, H5D, H5F, H5G, H5P, H5S, and H5T
interfaces and are described on those pages.
<p>
In general, each Fortran subroutine performs exactly the same task
as the corresponding C function. The links at the top of each reference manual
section go to the C function descriptions, which serve as general descriptions
for both the C and Fortran APIs. A button,
under <strong>Non-C API(s)</strong> at the end of the C function description,
opens an external browser window displaying the Fortran-specific
information. You will probably want to adjust the size and location of
this external window so that both browser windows are visible and to
facilitate moving easily between them.
<p>
See <a href="README_Fortran90.html" target="FortranWin">README_Fortran90.html</a>,
a copy of the README file in the Fortran prototype source code directory,
for more detailed notes regarding the prototype API. </i>
