This is the bare beginning of a Glossary to accompany the HDF5 documentation;
it is by no means complete.)</i>

<P>Since many of the typedefs in the HDF5 API are not well-defined yet,
the types below may change radically en route to a final API...

<li>uint16 - 16-bit unsigned integer
<li>int32 - 32-bit signed integer
<li>uint32 - 32-bit unsigned integer
<li>intn - "native" signed integer
<li>uintn - "native" unsigned integer
<li>int64 - 64-bit signed integer (new)
<li>uint64 - 64-bit unsigned integer (new)
<li>float32 - 32-bit IEEE float
<li>float64 - 64-bit IEEE float
</ul>
<a name="Glossary-Complex">Complex Types:</a>
