 *          H5Gcreate1(), with the differences described in the list below.
 *
 *          The new group’s creation and access properties are specified
 *          in \p gcpl_id and \p gapl_id, respectively.
 *
 *          H5Gcreate_anon() returns a new group identifier. This identifier
 *          must be linked into the HDF5 file structure with H5Olink()
 *          or it will be deleted from the file when the file is closed.
 *
 *          The differences between this function and H5Gcreate1() are
 *          as follows:
 *
 *          \li H5Gcreate1() does not provide for the use of custom property
 *              lists; H5Gcreate1() always uses default properties.
 *          \li H5Gcreate_anon() neither provides the new group’s name
 *              nor links it into the HDF5 file structure; those actions
 *              must be performed separately through a call to H5Olink(),
 *              which offers greater control over linking.
 *          \li H5Gcreate_anon() does not directly provide a hint mechanism
 *              for the group’s heap size. Comparable information can be
 *              included in the group creation property list \p gcpl_id through
 *              a H5Pset_local_heap_size_hint() call.
 *
 *          A group created with this function should be closed with
 *          H5Gclose() when the group is no longer needed so that resource
 *          leaks will not develop.

 *          to which the link points. If \p follow_link is non-zero but the

 *          an error is returned. The \p statbuf fields are undefined for an
