 RETURNS
    Returns non-negative on success, negative on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
        Registers a new property with a property list class.  The property will
    exist in all property list objects of that class after this routine is
    finished.  The name of the property must not already exist.  The default
    property value must be provided and all new property lists created with this
    property will have the property value set to the default provided.  Any of
    the callback routines may be set to NULL if they are not needed.

        Zero-sized properties are allowed and do not store any data in the
    property list.  These may be used as flags to indicate the presence or
    absence of a particular piece of information.  The 'default' pointer for a
    zero-sized property may be set to NULL.  The property 'create' & 'close'
    callbacks are called for zero-sized properties, but the 'set' and 'get'
    callbacks are never called.

        The 'create' callback is called when a new property list with this
    property is being created.  H5P_prp_create_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_create_func_t)(hid_t prop_id, const char *name,
                size_t size, void *initial_value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        hid_t prop_id;      IN: The ID of the property list being created.
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being modified.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *initial_value; IN/OUT: The initial value for the property being created.
                                (The 'default' value passed to H5Pregister2)
    The 'create' routine may modify the value to be set and those changes will
    be stored as the initial value of the property.  If the 'create' routine
    returns a negative value, the new property value is not copied into the
    property and the property list creation routine returns an error value.

        The 'set' callback is called before a new value is copied into the
    property.  H5P_prp_set_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_set_func_t)(hid_t prop_id, const char *name,
            size_t size, void *value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        hid_t prop_id;      IN: The ID of the property list being modified.
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being modified.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *new_value;    IN/OUT: The value being set for the property.
    The 'set' routine may modify the value to be set and those changes will be
    stored as the value of the property.  If the 'set' routine returns a
    negative value, the new property value is not copied into the property and
    the property list set routine returns an error value.

        The 'get' callback is called before a value is retrieved from the
    property.  H5P_prp_get_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_get_func_t)(hid_t prop_id, const char *name,
            size_t size, void *value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        hid_t prop_id;      IN: The ID of the property list being queried.
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being queried.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *value;        IN/OUT: The value being retrieved for the property.
    The 'get' routine may modify the value to be retrieved and those changes
    will be returned to the calling function.  If the 'get' routine returns a
    negative value, the property value is returned and the property list get
    routine returns an error value.

        The 'delete' callback is called when a property is deleted from a
    property list.  H5P_prp_del_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_del_func_t)(hid_t prop_id, const char *name,
            size_t size, void *value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        hid_t prop_id;      IN: The ID of the property list the property is deleted from.
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being deleted.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *value;        IN/OUT: The value of the property being deleted.
    The 'delete' routine may modify the value passed in, but the value is not
    used by the library when the 'delete' routine returns.  If the
    'delete' routine returns a negative value, the property list deletion
    routine returns an error value but the property is still deleted.

        The 'copy' callback is called when a property list with this
    property is copied.  H5P_prp_copy_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_copy_func_t)(const char *name, size_t size,
            void *value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being copied.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *value;        IN: The value of the property being copied.
    The 'copy' routine may modify the value to be copied and those changes will be
    stored as the value of the property.  If the 'copy' routine returns a
    negative value, the new property value is not copied into the property and
    the property list copy routine returns an error value.

        The 'compare' callback is called when a property list with this
    property is compared to another property list.  H5P_prp_compare_func_t is
    defined as:
        typedef int (*H5P_prp_compare_func_t)( void *value1, void *value2,
            size_t size);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        const void *value1; IN: The value of the first property being compared.
        const void *value2; IN: The value of the second property being compared.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
    The 'compare' routine may not modify the values to be compared.  The
    'compare' routine should return a positive value if VALUE1 is greater than
    VALUE2, a negative value if VALUE2 is greater than VALUE1 and zero if VALUE1
    and VALUE2 are equal.

        The 'close' callback is called when a property list with this
    property is being destroyed.  H5P_prp_close_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_close_func_t)(const char *name, size_t size,
            void *value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being closed.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *value;        IN: The value of the property being closed.
    The 'close' routine may modify the value passed in, but the value is not
    used by the library when the 'close' routine returns.  If the
    'close' routine returns a negative value, the property list close
    routine returns an error value but the property list is still closed.

 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
        The 'set' callback function may be useful to range check the value being
    set for the property or may perform some tranformation/translation of the
    value set.  The 'get' callback would then [probably] reverse the
    transformation, etc.  A single 'get' or 'set' callback could handle
    multiple properties by performing different actions based on the property
    name or other properties in the property list.

        I would like to say "the property list is not closed" when a 'close'
    routine fails, but I don't think that's possible due to other properties in
    the list being successfully closed & removed from the property list.  I
    suppose that it would be possible to just remove the properties which have
    successful 'close' callbacks, but I'm not happy with the ramifications
    of a mangled, un-closable property list hanging around...  Any comments? -QAK

 RETURNS
    Returns non-negative on success, negative on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
        Inserts a temporary property into a property list.  The property will
    exist only in this property list object.  The name of the property must not
    already exist.  The value must be provided unless the property is zero-
    sized.  Any of the callback routines may be set to NULL if they are not
    needed.

        Zero-sized properties are allowed and do not store any data in the
    property list.  These may be used as flags to indicate the presence or
    absence of a particular piece of information.  The 'value' pointer for a
    zero-sized property may be set to NULL.  The property 'close' callback is
    called for zero-sized properties, but the 'set' and 'get' callbacks are
    never called.

        The 'set' callback is called before a new value is copied into the
    property.  H5P_prp_set_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_set_func_t)(hid_t prop_id, const char *name,
            size_t size, void *value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        hid_t prop_id;      IN: The ID of the property list being modified.
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being modified.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *new_value;    IN/OUT: The value being set for the property.
    The 'set' routine may modify the value to be set and those changes will be
    stored as the value of the property.  If the 'set' routine returns a
    negative value, the new property value is not copied into the property and
    the property list set routine returns an error value.

        The 'get' callback is called before a value is retrieved from the
    property.  H5P_prp_get_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_get_func_t)(hid_t prop_id, const char *name,
            size_t size, void *value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        hid_t prop_id;      IN: The ID of the property list being queried.
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being queried.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *value;        IN/OUT: The value being retrieved for the property.
    The 'get' routine may modify the value to be retrieved and those changes
    will be returned to the calling function.  If the 'get' routine returns a
    negative value, the property value is returned and the property list get
    routine returns an error value.

        The 'delete' callback is called when a property is deleted from a
    property list.  H5P_prp_del_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_del_func_t)(hid_t prop_id, const char *name,
            size_t size, void *value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        hid_t prop_id;      IN: The ID of the property list the property is deleted from.
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being deleted.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *value;        IN/OUT: The value of the property being deleted.
    The 'delete' routine may modify the value passed in, but the value is not
    used by the library when the 'delete' routine returns.  If the
    'delete' routine returns a negative value, the property list deletion
    routine returns an error value but the property is still deleted.

        The 'copy' callback is called when a property list with this
    property is copied.  H5P_prp_copy_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_copy_func_t)(const char *name, size_t size,
            void *value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being copied.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *value;        IN: The value of the property being copied.
    The 'copy' routine may modify the value to be copied and those changes will be
    stored as the value of the property.  If the 'copy' routine returns a
    negative value, the new property value is not copied into the property and
    the property list copy routine returns an error value.

        The 'compare' callback is called when a property list with this
    property is compared to another property list.  H5P_prp_compare_func_t is
    defined as:
        typedef int (*H5P_prp_compare_func_t)( void *value1, void *value2,
            size_t size);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        const void *value1; IN: The value of the first property being compared.
        const void *value2; IN: The value of the second property being compared.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
    The 'compare' routine may not modify the values to be compared.  The
    'compare' routine should return a positive value if VALUE1 is greater than
    VALUE2, a negative value if VALUE2 is greater than VALUE1 and zero if VALUE1
    and VALUE2 are equal.

        The 'close' callback is called when a property list with this
    property is being destroyed.  H5P_prp_close_func_t is defined as:
        typedef herr_t (*H5P_prp_close_func_t)(const char *name, size_t size,
            void *value);
    where the parameters to the callback function are:
        const char *name;   IN: The name of the property being closed.
        size_t size;        IN: The size of the property value
        void *value;        IN: The value of the property being closed.
    The 'close' routine may modify the value passed in, but the value is not
    used by the library when the 'close' routine returns.  If the
    'close' routine returns a negative value, the property list close
    routine returns an error value but the property list is still closed.

 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
        The 'set' callback function may be useful to range check the value being
    set for the property or may perform some tranformation/translation of the
    value set.  The 'get' callback would then [probably] reverse the
    transformation, etc.  A single 'get' or 'set' callback could handle
    multiple properties by performing different actions based on the property
    name or other properties in the property list.

        There is no 'create' callback routine for temporary property list
    objects, the initial value is assumed to have any necessary setup already
    performed on it.

        I would like to say "the property list is not closed" when a 'close'
    routine fails, but I don't think that's possible due to other properties in
    the list being successfully closed & removed from the property list.  I
    suppose that it would be possible to just remove the properties which have
    successful 'close' callbacks, but I'm not happy with the ramifications
    of a mangled, un-closable property list hanging around...  Any comments? -QAK

 RETURNS
    Returns non-negative on success, negative on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
        Sets a new value for a property in a property list.  The property name
    must exist or this routine will fail.  If there is a 'set' callback routine
    registered for this property, the 'value' will be passed to that routine and
    any changes to the 'value' will be used when setting the property value.
    The information pointed at by the 'value' pointer (possibly modified by the
    'set' callback) is copied into the property list value and may be changed
    by the application making the H5Pset call without affecting the property
    value.

        If the 'set' callback routine returns an error, the property value will
    not be modified.  This routine may not be called for zero-sized properties
    and will return an error in that case.

    Success: Returns the return value of the last call to ITER_FUNC if it was

    Failure: negative value
 DESCRIPTION
    This routine iterates over the properties in the property object specified
with ID.  The properties in both property lists and classes may be iterated
over with this function.  For each property in the object, the ITER_DATA and
some additional information, specified below, are passed to the ITER_FUNC
function.  The iteration begins with the IDX property in the object and the
next element to be processed by the operator is returned in IDX.  If IDX is
NULL, then the iterator starts at the first property; since no stopping point
is returned in this case, the iterator cannot be restarted if one of the calls
to its operator returns non-zero.  The IDX value is 0-based (ie. to start at
the "first" property, the IDX value should be 0).

The prototype for H5P_iterate_t is:
    typedef herr_t (*H5P_iterate_t)(hid_t id, const char *name, void *iter_data);
The operation receives the property list or class identifier for the object
being iterated over, ID, the name of the current property within the object,
NAME, and the pointer to the operator data passed in to H5Piterate, ITER_DATA.

The return values from an operator are:
    Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all properties
        have been processed.
    Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive value,
        indicating short-circuit success. The iterator can be restarted at the
        index of the next property.
    Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value, indicating
        failure. The iterator can be restarted at the index of the next
        property.

H5Piterate assumes that the properties in the object identified by ID remains
unchanged through the iteration.  If the membership changes during the
iteration, the function's behavior is undefined.

 DESCRIPTION
    Copies a property from one property list or class to another.

    If a property is copied from one class to another, all the property
    information will be first deleted from the destination class and then the

    destination class.

    If a property is copied from one list to another, the property will be
    first deleted from the destination list (generating a call to the 'close'
    callback for the property, if one exists) and then the property is copied
    from the source list to the destination list (generating a call to the
    'copy' callback for the property, if one exists).

    If the property does not exist in the destination class or list, this call
    is equivalent to calling H5Pregister2 or H5Pinsert2 (for a class or list, as
    appropriate) and the 'create' callback will be called in the case of the
    property being copied into a list (if such a callback exists for the

 DESCRIPTION
        Removes a property from a property list class.  Future property lists
    created of that class will not contain this property.  Existing property
    lists containing this property are not affected.

    callbacks exist for any individual properties in the property list, they are
    called after the class 'close' callback.
