<h1>H5R: Reference Interface</h1>
</center>
<h2>Reference API Functions</h2>
The Reference interface allows the user to create references
to specific objects and data regions in an HDF5 file.
<p>
<strong>The C Interfaces:</strong>
<table border=0 width=80%>
<tr><td valign=top width=40%>
<ul>
<li><a href="#Reference-Create">H5Rcreate</a>
<li><a href="#Reference-Dereference">H5Rdereference</a>
</ul>
</td><td valign=top width=40%>
<ul>
<li><a href="#Reference-GetRegion">H5Rget_region</a>
<li><a href="#Reference-GetObjectType">H5Rget_object_type</a>
</ul>
</td><td valign=top width=20%>
<ul>
</ul>
</td></tr>
</table>
<p>
<strong>The FORTRAN90 Interfaces:</strong>
<br>
<font size=-1>
<i>In general, each FORTRAN90 subroutine performs exactly the same task
as the corresponding C function. The links below go to the C function
descriptions, which serve as general descriptions for both. A button,
under <strong>Non-C API(s)</strong> at the end of the C function description,
opens an external browser window displaying the FORTRAN90-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.</i>

<em>hid_t</em> <code>loc_id</code>,
<em>const char *</em><code>name</code>,
<em>H5R_type_t</em> <code>ref_type</code>,
<em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>
)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Creates a reference.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Rcreate</code> creates the reference, <code>ref</code>,
of the type specified in <code>ref_type</code>, pointing to
the object <code>name</code> located at <code>loc_id</code>.
<p>
The HDF5 library maps the <em>void</em> type specified above
for <code>ref</code> to the type specified in <code>ref_type</code>,
which will be one of those appearing in the first column of
the following table.
The second column of the table lists the HDF5 constant associated
with each reference type.

<td>Dataset region reference</td></tr>
<tr><td><em>hobj_ref_t</em></td>
<td><code>H5R_OBJECT</code></td>
<td>Object reference</td></tr>
</table>
</dir>
<p>
The parameters <code>loc_id</code> and <code>name</code> are
used to locate the object.
<p>
The parameter <code>space_id</code> identifies the region
to be pointed to for a dataset region reference.
This parameter is unused with object references.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<dl>
<dt><em>void *</em><code>ref</code>
<dd>OUT: Reference created by the function call.
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>loc_id</code>
<dd>IN: Location identifier used to locate the object being
pointed to.
<dt><em>const char *</em><code>name</code>
<dd>IN: Name of object at location <code>loc_id</code>.
<dt><em>H5R_type_t</em> <code>ref_type</code>
<dd>IN: Type of reference.
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>
<dd>IN: Dataspace identifier with selection.
Used for dataset region references.
</dl>
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
<dd>Returns a non-negative value if successful;
otherwise returns a negative value.

)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Opens the HDF5 object referenced.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd>Given a reference to some object, <code>H5Rdereference</code>
opens that object and returns an identifier.
<p>
The parameter <code>ref_type</code> specifies the reference type
of <code>ref</code>.
<code>ref_type</code> may contain either of the following values:
<ul>
<li><code>H5R_OBJECT</code> (<code>0</code>)
<li><code>H5R_DATASET_REGION</code> (<code>1</code>)
</ul>
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>

<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Retrieves a dataspace with the specified region selected.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd>Given a reference to an object <code>ref</code>,
<code>H5Rget_region</code> creates a copy of the dataspace
of the dataset pointed to and defines a selection in the copy
which is the region pointed to.
<p>
The parameter <code>ref_type</code> specifies the reference type
of <code>ref</code>.
<code>ref_type</code> may contain the following value:
<ul>
<li><code>H5R_DATASET_REGION</code> (<code>1</code>)
