These functions provides tools for working with object identifiers and
object names.

<dl>
<dt><strong>Name:</strong> <a name="Identify-GetName">H5Iget_name</a>
<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
<dd><em>ssize_t</em> <code>H5Iget_name</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>obj_id</code>,
<em>char *</em><code>name</code>,
<em>size_t</em> <code>size</code>
)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong> </dt>
<dd>Retrieves a name of an object based on the object identifier.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Iget_name</code> retrieves a name for the object identified
by <code>obj_id</code>.
<p>
Up to <code>size</code> characters of the name are returned in
<code>name</code>; additional characters, if any, are not returned
to the user application.
<p>
If the length of the name, which determines the required
value of <code>size</code>, is unknown, a preliminary
<code>H5Iget_name</code> call can be made.
The return value of this call will be the size of the
object name.
That value can then be assigned to <code>size</code>
for a second <code>H5Iget_name</code> call,
which will retrieve the actual name.
<p>
If there is no name associated with the object identifier
or if the name is <code>NULL</code>, <code>H5Iget_name</code>
returns <code>0</code> (zero).
<p>
Note that an object in an HDF5 file may have multiple names,
varying according to the path through the HDF5 group
hierarchy used to reach that object.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<dl>
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>obj_id</code>
<dd>IN: Identifier of the object.
This identifier can refer to a group, dataset, or
named datatype.
<dt><em>char *</em><code>name</code>
<dd>OUT: A name associated with the identifier.
<dt><em>size_t size</em>
<dd>IN: The size of the <code>name</code> buffer.
</dl>
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
<dd>Returns the length of the name if successful,
returning <code>0</code> (zero) if no name is associated with the identifier.
Otherwise returns a negative value.
<dt><strong>Fortran90 Interface:</strong> h5iget_name_f
<dd>
<pre>
SUBROUTINE h5iget_name_f(obj_id, buf, buf_size, hdferr)
IMPLICIT NONE

<dt><strong>Name:</strong> <a name="Identify-GetType">H5Iget_type</a>
<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
<dd><em>H5I_type_t</em> <code>H5Iget_type</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>obj_id</code>)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Retrieves the type of an object.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Iget_type</code> retrieves the type of the object
identified by <code>obj_id</code>.
<p>
Valid types returned by the function are
<table>
<tr><td width=200><code> H5I_FILE</code>
</td><td>File</td></tr>
<tr><td><code> H5I_GROUP</code>
</td><td>Group</td></tr>
<tr><td><code> H5I_DATATYPE</code>
</td><td>Datatype</td></tr>
<tr><td><code> H5I_DATASPACE</code>
</td><td>Dataspace</td></tr>
<tr><td><code> H5I_DATASET</code>
</td><td>Dataset</td></tr>
<tr><td><code> H5I_ATTR</code>
</td><td>Attribute</td></tr>
</table>
If no valid type can be determined or the identifier
submitted is invalid, the function returns
<table>
<tr><td width=200><code> H5I_BADID</code>
</td><td>Invalid identifier</td></tr>
</table>
<p>
This function is of particular value in determining the
type of object closing function (<code>H5Dclose</code>,
<code>H5Gclose</code>, etc.) to call after a call to
<code>H5Rdereference</code>.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<dl>
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>obj_id</code>
<dd>IN: Object identifier whose type is to be determined.
</dl>
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
<dd>Returns the object type if successful;
otherwise <code>H5I_BADID</code>.
