MODULE H5fortkit

CONTAINS

!****if* H5fortkit/HD5c2fstring
! NAME
!  HD5c2fstring
! INPUTS
!  cstring  -  C string stored as a string array of size 'len' of string size LEN=1
!  len      -  length of Fortran string
! OUTPUT
!   fstring -  Fortran string array of LEN=1
! PURPOSE
!   Copies a Fortran array of strings having a length of one to a fortran string and removes the C Null
!   terminator. The Null terminator is returned from C when calling the C APIs directly.
!
!   The fortran standard does not allow C_LOC to be used on a character string of
!   length greater than one, which is why we use the array of characters instead.
!
