/**
 * \ingroup H5O
 * \def H5Oget_info
 *
 * #H5Oget_info is a macro that is mapped to:
 * \li #H5Oget_info3
 * \li #H5Oget_info1
 *
 * \details Such macros are provided to facilitate application
 *          compatibility. Their use and mappings are fully described in
 *          API Compatibility Macros in HDF5; we urge you to read that
 *          document closely.
 *
 *          In HDF5 versions 1.12 and after, #H5Oget_info is mapped to
 *          #H5Oget_info3 and #H5Oget_info1 is deprecated. 
 *          In version 1.10 #H5Oget_info is identical to #H5Oget_info1. 
 * 
 *          Specific compile-time compatibility flags and the resulting
 *          mappings are as follows:
 * \par
 * <table>
 *  <tr>
 *      <th>Compatibility setting</th>
 *      <th>H5Oget_info</th>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *      <td>No compatibility flag \n &nbsp;</td>
 *      <td>#H5Oget_info3 (in release 1.12) \n
 *          #H5Oget_info1 (in 1.8 or 1.10)</td>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *      <td>Emulate Release 1.12</td>
 *      <td>#H5Oget_info3</td>
 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *      <td>Emulate Release 1.10/1.8 interface</td>
 *      <td>#H5Oget_info1</td>
 *  </tr>
 * </table>
 *
 * \note    If you are iterating through a lot of different objects to
 *          retrieve information via the #H5Oget_info family of routines,
 *          you may see memory building up. This can be due to memory
 *          allocation for metadata such as object headers and messages
 *          when the iterated objects are put into the metadata cache.
 * \note
 *          If the memory buildup is not desirable, you can configure a
 *          smaller cache via #H5Fset_mdc_config or set the file access
 *          property list via #H5Pset_mdc_config. A smaller sized cache
 *          will force metadata entries to be evicted from the cache,
 *          thus freeing the memory associated with the entries.
 *
 * \version 1.12.0 The macro #H5Oget_info and the function #H5Oget_info3 
 *                 were added, and #H5Oget_info1 was deprecated.
 * \version 1.10.5 The macro #H5Oget_info was removed.  The functions 
 *                 #H5Oget_info1 and #H5Oget_info are identical 
 *                 in this release.  This change was added to restore the 
 *                 broken API compatibility introduced in HDF5-1.10.3.
 * \version 1.10.3 The function #H5Oget_info was renamed 
 *                 #H5Oget_info1.  The macro #H5Oget_info and the function 
 *                 #H5Oget_info2 were introduced in this release.
 * \version 1.8.15 Added a note about the valid values for the \c version field 
 *                 in the H5O_hdr_info_t structure.
 * \version 1.8.11 Fortran subroutine introduced in this release.
 * \version 1.8.10 Added #H5O_type_t structure to the Description section.
 *                 Separated H5O_hdr_info_t structure from 
 *                 #H5O_info_t in the Description section.  Clarified the 
 *                 definition and implementation of the time fields.
 *
 * \since 1.8.0
