 *
 * \details H5set_free_list_limits() sets size limits on all types of free
 *          lists. The HDF5 library uses free lists internally to manage
 *          memory. The types of free lists used are as follows:
 *          \li Regular free lists manage memory for single internal data
 *              structures.
 *          \li Array free lists manage memory for arrays of internal
 *              data structures.
 *          \li Block free lists manage memory for arbitrarily-sized blocks
 *              of bytes.
 *          \li Factory free lists manage memory for fixed-size blocks of
 *              bytes.
 *
 *          The parameters specify global and per-list limits; for example, \p
 *          reg_global_limit and \p reg_list_limit limit the accumulated size
 *          of all regular free lists and the size of each individual regular
 *          free list, respectively. Therefore, if an application sets a 1Mb
 *          limit on each of the global lists, up to 4Mb of total storage might
 *          be allocated, 1Mb for each of the regular, array, block, and
 *          factory type lists.
 *
 *          The settings specified for block free lists are duplicated for
 *          factory free lists. Therefore, increasing the global limit on block
 *          free lists by x bytes will increase the potential free list memory
 *          usage by 2x bytes.

 *
 *          As stated above, H5check_version() first verifies that the version

 *          the version of the HDF5 library against which the application is

 *

/**
 * \ingroup H5
 * \brief Resizes and, if required, re-allocates memory that will later be
 *        freed internally by the HDF5 library
 *
 * \param[in] mem Pointer to a buffer to be resized. May be NULL
 * \param[in] size New size of the buffer, in bytes

 *
 * \return On success, returns pointer to resized or reallocated buffer
 *         or returns NULL if size is 0 (zero).\n
 *         Returns NULL on failure.
 *
 * \details H5resize_memory() takes a pointer to an existing buffer and resizes
 *          the buffer to match the value in \p size. If necessary, the buffer
 *          is reallocated. If \p size is 0, the buffer is released.
 *
 *          The input buffer must either be NULL or have been allocated by
 *          H5allocate_memory() since the input buffer may be freed by the
 *          library.
 *
 *          For certain behaviors, the pointer \p mem may be passed in as NULL.
 *
 *          This function is intended to have the semantics of realloc():
 *
 *          <table>
 *            <tr><td>\Code{H5resize_memory(buffer, size)}</td>
 *                <td>Resizes buffer. Returns pointer to resized buffer.</td></tr>
 *            <tr><td>\Code{H5resize_memory(NULL, size)}</td>
 *                <td>Allocates memory using HDF5 Library allocator.
 *                    Returns pointer to new buffer</td></tr>
 *            <tr><td>\Code{H5resize_memory(buffer, 0)}</td>
 *                <td>Frees memory using HDF5 Library allocator.
 *                    Returns NULL.</td></tr>
 *            <tr><td>\Code{H5resize_memory(NULL, 0)}</td>
 *                <td>Returns NULL (undefined in C standard).</td></tr>
 *          </table>
 *
 *          Unlike realloc(), which allows for a "special pointer to be
 *          returned instead of NULL, this function always returns NULL on
 *          failure or when size is 0 (zero).
 *
 * \note At this time, the only intended use for this function is to resize or
 *       reallocate memory that will be returned to the library (and eventually
 *       to the user) as a data buffer from a third-party HDF5 filter.
