 *
 * Use the functions in this module to manage HDF5 filters.
 *
 * User-defined filters are created by registering a filter descriptor of
 * type #H5Z_class_t with the library.
 *
 * Available filters can be read or examined at runtime.
 *
 * It is conceivable that filters are stateful and that that state be
 * updated at runtime.
 *
 * Filters are deleted by unregistering.

 *
 * HDF5 supports a filter pipeline that provides the capability for standard and
 * customized raw data processing during I/O operations.  HDF5 is distributed
 * with a small set of standard filters such as compression (gzip, SZIP, and a
 * shuffling algorithm) and error checking (Fletcher32 checksum). For further
 * flexibility, the library allows a user application to extend the pipeline
 * through the creation and registration of customized filters.
 *
 * The flexibility of the filter pipeline implementation enables the definition
 * of additional filters by a user application. A filter
 * \li is associated with a dataset when the dataset is created,
 * \li can be used only with chunked data (i.e., datasets stored in the
 *     #H5D_CHUNKED storage layout), and
 * \li is applied independently to each chunk of the dataset.
 *
 * The HDF5 library does not support filters for contiguous datasets because of
 * the difficulty of implementing random access for partial I/O. Compact dataset
 * filters are not supported because it would not produce significant results.
 *
 * Filter identifiers for the filters distributed with the HDF5
 * Library are as follows:
 * <table>
 *   <tr><td>#H5Z_FILTER_DEFLATE</td><td>The gzip compression, or
 *           deflation, filter</td></tr>
 *   <tr><td>#H5Z_FILTER_SZIP</td><td>The SZIP compression
 *           filter</td></tr>
 *   <tr><td>#H5Z_FILTER_NBIT</td><td>The N-bit compression
 *           filter</td></tr>
 *   <tr><td>#H5Z_FILTER_SCALEOFFSET</td><td>The scale-offset
 *           compression filter</td></tr>
 *   <tr><td>#H5Z_FILTER_SHUFFLE</td><td>The shuffle algorithm
 *           filter</td></tr>
 *   <tr><td>#H5Z_FILTER_FLETCHER32</td><td>The Fletcher32 checksum,
 *           or error checking, filter</td></tr>
 * </table>
 * Custom filters that have been registered with the library will have
 * additional unique identifiers.
 *
 * See \ref_dld_filters for more information on how an HDF5 application can
 * apply a filter that is not registered with the HDF5 library.

 * \brief Registers a new filter with the HDF5 library

 *                filter-definition
 *
 * \return \herr_t
 *
 * \details H5Zregister() registers a new filter with the HDF5 library.
 *
 * \details Making a new filter available to an application is a two-step
 *          process. The first step is to write the three filter callback
 *          functions described below: \c can_apply, \c set_local, and \c
 *          filter. This call to H5Zregister(), registering the filter with the
 *          library, is the second step. The can_apply and set_local fields can
 *          be set to NULL if they are not required for the filter being
 *          registered.
 *
 *          H5Zregister() accepts a single parameter, a pointer to a buffer for
 *          the \p cls data structure. That data structure must conform to one
 *          of the following definitions:
 *          \snippet this H5Z_class1_t_snip
 *          or
 *          \snippet this H5Z_class2_t_snip
 *
 *          \c version is a library-defined value reporting the version number
 *          of the #H5Z_class_t struct. This currently must be set to
 *          #H5Z_CLASS_T_VERS.
 *
 *          \c id is the identifier for the new filter. This is a user-defined
 *          value between #H5Z_FILTER_RESERVED and #H5Z_FILTER_MAX. These
 *          values are defined in the HDF5 source file H5Zpublic.h, but the
 *          symbols #H5Z_FILTER_RESERVED and #H5Z_FILTER_MAX should always be
 *          used instead of the literal values.
 *
 *          \c encoder_present is a library-defined value indicating whether
 *          the filter’s encoding capability is available to the application.
 *
 *          \c decoder_present is a library-defined value indicating whether
 *          the filter’s encoding capability is available to the application.
 *
 *          \c name is a descriptive comment used for debugging, may contain a
 *          descriptive name for the filter, and may be the null pointer.
 *
 *          \c can_apply, described in detail below, is a user-defined callback
 *          function which determines whether the combination of the dataset
 *          creation property list values, the datatype, and the dataspace
 *          represent a valid combination to apply this filter to.
 *
 *          \c set_local, described in detail below, is a user-defined callback
 *          function which sets any parameters that are specific to this
 *          dataset, based on the combination of the dataset creation property
 *          list values, the datatype, and the dataspace.
 *
 *          \c filter, described in detail below, is a user-defined callback
 *          function which performs the action of the filter.
 *
 *          The statistics associated with a filter are not reset by this
 *          function; they accumulate over the life of the library.
 *
 *          #H5Z_class_t is a macro which maps to either H5Z_class1_t or
 *          H5Z_class2_t, depending on the needs of the application. To affect
 *          only this macro, H5Z_class_t_vers may be defined to either 1 or 2.
 *          Otherwise, it will behave in the same manner as other API
 *          compatibility macros. See API Compatibility Macros in HDF5 for more
 *          information. H5Z_class1_t matches the #H5Z_class_t structure that is
 *          used in the 1.6.x versions of the HDF5 library.
 *
 *          H5Zregister() will automatically detect which structure type has
 *          been passed in, regardless of the mapping of the #H5Z_class_t macro.
 *          However, the application must make sure that the fields are filled
 *          in according to the correct structure definition if the macro is
 *          used to declare the structure.
 *
 *          \Bold{The callback functions:}\n Before H5Zregister() can link a
 *          filter into an application, three callback functions must be
 *          defined as described in the HDF5 library header file H5Zpublic.h.
 *
 *          When a filter is applied to the fractal heap for a group (e.g.,
 *          when compressing group metadata) and if the can apply and set local
 *          callback functions have been defined for that filter, HDF5 passes
 *          the value -1 for all parameters for those callback functions. This
 *          is done to ensure that the filter will not be applied to groups if
 *          it relies on these parameters, as they are not applicable to group
 *          fractal heaps; to operate on group fractal heaps, a filter must be
 *          capable of operating on an opaque block of binary data.
 *
 *          The \Emph{can apply} callback function must return a positive value
 *          for a valid combination, zero for an invalid combination, and a
 *          negative value for an error.
 *          \snippet this H5Z_can_apply_func_t_snip
 *
 *          Before a dataset is created, the \Emph{can apply} callbacks for any
 *          filters used in the dataset creation property list are called with
 *          the dataset's dataset creation property list, \c dcpl_id, the
 *          dataset's datatype, \p type_id, and a dataspace describing a chunk,
 *          \p space_id, (for chunked dataset storage).
 *
 *          This callback must determine whether the combination of the dataset
 *          creation property list settings, the datatype, and the dataspace
 *          represent a valid combination to which to apply this filter. For
 *          example, an invalid combination may involve the filter not
 *          operating correctly on certain datatypes, on certain datatype
 *          sizes, or on certain sizes of the chunk dataspace. If this filter
 *          is enabled through H5Pset_filter() as optional and the can apply
 *          function returns 0, the library will skip the filter in the filter
 *          pipeline.
 *
 *          This callback can be the NULL pointer, in which case the library
 *          will assume that the filter can be applied to a dataset with any
 *          combination of dataset creation property list values, datatypes,
 *          and dataspaces.
 *
 *          The \Emph{set local} callback function is defined as follows:
 *          \snippet this H5Z_set_local_func_t_snip
 *
 *          After the can apply callbacks are checked for a new dataset, the
 *          \Emph{set local} callback functions for any filters used in the
 *          dataset creation property list are called. These callbacks receive
 *          \c dcpl_id, the dataset's private copy of the dataset creation
 *          property list passed in to H5Dcreate() (i.e. not the actual
 *          property list passed in to H5Dcreate()); \c type_id, the datatype
 *          identifier passed in to H5Dcreate(), which is not copied and should
 *          not be modified; and \c space_id, a dataspace describing the chunk
 *          (for chunked dataset storage), which should also not be modified.
 *
 *          The set local callback must set any filter parameters that are
 *          specific to this dataset, based on the combination of the dataset
 *          creation property list values, the datatype, and the dataspace. For
 *          example, some filters perform different actions based on different
 *          datatypes, datatype sizes, numbers of dimensions, or dataspace
 *          sizes.
 *
 *          The \Emph{set local} callback may be the NULL pointer, in which
 *          case, the library will assume that there are no dataset-specific
 *          settings for this filter.
 *
 *          The \Emph{set local} callback function must return a non-negative
 *          value on success and a negative value for an error.
 *
 *          The \Emph{filter operation} callback function, defining the
 *          filter's operation on the data, is defined as follows:
 *          \snippet this H5Z_func_t_snip
 *
 *          The parameters \c flags, \c cd_nelmts, and \c cd_values are the
 *          same as for the function H5Pset_filter(). The one exception is that
 *          an additional flag, #H5Z_FLAG_REVERSE, is set when the filter is
 *          called as part of the input pipeline.
 *
 *          The parameter \c buf points to the input buffer which has a size of
 *          \c buf_size bytes, \c nbytes of which are valid data.
 *
 *          The filter should perform the transformation in place if possible.
 *          If the transformation cannot be done in place, then the filter
 *          should allocate a new buffer with malloc() and assign it to \c buf,
 *          assigning the allocated size of that buffer to \c buf_size. The old
 *          buffer should be freed by calling free().
 *
 *          If successful, the \Emph{filter operation} callback function
 *          returns the number of valid bytes of data contained in \c buf. In
 *          the case of failure, the return value is 0 (zero) and all pointer
 *          arguments are left unchanged.
 *
 * \version 1.8.6 Return type for the \Emph{can apply} callback function,
 *                \ref H5Z_can_apply_func_t, changed to \ref htri_t.
 * \version 1.8.5 Semantics of the \Emph{can apply} and \Emph{set local}
 *                callback functions changed to accommodate the use of filters
 *                with group fractal heaps.
 * \version 1.8.3 #H5Z_class_t renamed to H5Z_class2_t, H5Z_class1_t structure
 *                introduced for backwards compatibility with release 1.6.x,
 *                and #H5Z_class_t macro introduced in this release. Function
 *                modified to accept either structure type.
 * \version 1.8.0 The fields \c version, \c encoder_present, and
 *                \c decoder_present were added to the #H5Z_class_t \c struct
 *                in this release.
 * \version 1.6.0 This function was substantially revised in Release 1.6.0 with
 *                a new #H5Z_class_t struct and new set local and can apply
 *                callback functions.

 *
 *          If \p filter_config_flags is not set to NULL prior to the function

 *          then be determined through a series of bitwise AND operations, as
 *          described below.
 *
 *          Valid filter configuration flags include the following:

 *            <tr><td>#H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED</td>

 *          </table>
 *
 *          A bitwise AND of the returned \p filter_config_flags and a valid
 *          filter configuration flag will reveal whether the related
 *          configuration option is available. For example, if the value of
 *          \code
 *          H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED & filter_config_flags
 *          \endcode
 *          is true, i.e., greater than 0 (zero), the queried filter
 *          is configured to encode data; if the value is \c FALSE, i.e., equal to
 *          0 (zero), the filter is not so configured.
 *
 *          If a filter is not encode-enabled, the corresponding \c H5Pset_*
 *          function will return an error if the filter is added to a dataset
 *          creation property list (which is required if the filter is to be
 *          used to encode that dataset). For example, if the
 *          #H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED flag is not returned for the SZIP
 *          filter, #H5Z_FILTER_SZIP, a call to H5Pset_szip() will fail.
 *
 *          If a filter is not decode-enabled, the application will not be able
 *          to read an existing file encoded with that filter.

 *          configuration.
