-    Previously, the Communicator and Info object arguments supplied
-    to <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpio</code> were stored in the property with 
-    its handle values.  
-    This meant changes to the communicator or the Info object
-    after calling <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpio</code> would affect the how 
-    the property list functioned.  
-    This was also the case when <code>H5Fopen/create</code> operated.
-    They just stored the handle value.  This is not according to the
-    MPI-2 defined behavior of how Info objects should be handled. 
-    (MPI-2 defines Info objects must be parsed when called.)<br>
-    <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpio</code> now stores a duplicate of each of 
-    the communicator and Info object.<br>
-    <code>H5Pget_fapl_mpio</code> now returns a duplicate of its 
-    stored communicator and Info object.  
-    It is now the responsibility of the applications to free
-    those objects when done.<p>
-    <code>H5Fcreate</code> and <code>H5Fopen</code> also store 
-    a duplicate of the communicator and Info
-    object supplied by the file access property List.
-    <code>H5Fclose</code> frees the duplicates.<p>
-    Advice to users: User applications should release the communicator and
-    Info object returned by <code>H5Pget_fapl_mpio</code> when they are 
-    no longer needed.

-<h2>Release 1.4.2 versus Release 1.4.1</h2> 
-<dir>
-    <h3>C Library</h3>
-    The HDF5 Release 1.4.2 C library is a "Bugfix Release"; 
-    there are no API changes in the underlying HDF5 library.
-
-    <h3>Fortran90 Library</h3>
-    The following functions in the HDF5 Release 1.4.2 Fortran90 library
-    have an additional parameter, <code>dims</code>, that was not present 
-    in Release 1.4.1:
-
-<dir>
-<pre>
-<font color=red>h5aread_f</font>(attr_id, memtype_id,  buf, dims, hdferr)
-<font color=red>h5awrite_f</font>(attr_id, memtype_id,  buf, dims, hdferr)
-<font color=red>h5dread_f</font>(dset_id, mem_type_id, buf, dims, hdferr, mem_space_id, &
-           file_space_id, xfer_prp)
-<font color=red>h5dwrite_f</font>(dset_id, mem_type_id, buf, dims, hdferr, mem_space_id, &
-           file_space_id, xfer_prp)
-</pre>
-</dir>
-
-    The <code>dims</code> parameter enables library portability 
-    between the UNIX and Microsoft Windows platforms.
-
-</dir>
-
-
-<h2>Release 1.4.1 versus Release 1.4.0</h2> 
-<dir>
-    Release 1.4.1 is a "Tools Release"; there are no API changes in the 
-    underlying HDF5 library.
-</dir>
-
-
-<h2>Release 1.4.0 versus Release 1.2.2</h2> 
-
-<dir>
-
-    Several functions were added to or removed from the HDF5 library
-    in the development of Release 1.4.0.
-    A few functions have been modified in minor ways.
-
-    <h3>New Functions</h3>
-        The following functions are new for Release 1.4.0 and are included in the

-New Features
-============
-  o Configuration
-  ================
-    * Added "unofficial support" for building with a C++ compiler (or at least
-      not failing badly when building with a C++ compiler).  QAK - 2003/01/09
-    * Added "unofficial support" for AIX 64bits.  See INSTALL for configure
-      details. AKC - 2002/08/29
-    * Added "--with-dmalloc" flag, to easily enable support for the 'dmalloc'
-      debugging malloc implementation. QAK - 2002/07/15
-
-  o Library
-  =========
-    o General
-    --------- 
-      * Allow scalar dataspaces to be used for parallel I/O.  QAK - 2002/11/05
-      * Added environment variable "HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK", which disables
-        the version checking between the header files and the library linked
-        into an application if set to '1'.  This should be used with caution,
-        mis-matched headers and library binaries can cause _serious_ problems.
-        QAK - 2002/10/15
-      * Partially fixed space allocation inefficiencies in the file by
-        improving our algorithms for re-using freed space.  QAK - 2002/08/27
-      * API tracing has been improved. Nested API calls don't screw up the
-        output format; function call and return event times can be logged;
-        total time spent in each function can be logged.  The following
-        HDF5_DEBUG environment variable words affect tracing:
-	    trace   -- turn on/off basic tracing
-	    ttimes  -- turn on tracing and report event times and
-                       time spent in each API function.
-        ttop    -- turn on tracing but display only top-level
-                       API calls.
-
-    o APIs
-    ------
-      * Several missing fortran APIs have been added to the library:
-
-        h5get_libversion_f        h5tget_member_index_f  h5dget_storage_size_f 
-        h5check_version_f         h5tvlen_create_f       h5dvlen_get_max_len_f
-        h5garbage_collect_f                              h5dwrite_vl_f
-        h5dont_atexit_f                                  h5dread_vl_f
-
-      Functions h5dvlen_get_max_len_f, h5dwrite_vl_f, and h5dread_vl_f support
-      VL Length C APIs functionality for integer, real and string datatypes.
-      See HDF5 Reference Manual and HDF5 FORTRAN90 User's Notes for more
-      information and for the functions description.
-
-  o Parallel library
-  ==================
-    * The MPI-posix virtual file driver makes gpfs_fcntl() hints to tell
-        the underlying GPFS file system to avoid prefetching byte range
-        tokens if USE_GPFS_HINTS is defined when this file is compiled.
-        This temporary solution is intended to be removed once the HDF5
-        API supports the necessary functionality that makes it possible
-        for this sort of thing do be done at a higher software layer.
-        RPM - 2002/12/03
-    * Added MPI-posix VFL driver.  This VFL driver uses MPI functions to
-        coordinate actions, but performs I/O directly with POSIX sec(2)
-        (i.e. open/close/read/write/etc.) calls.  This driver should _NOT_
-        be used to access files that are not on a parallel filesystem.
-        The following API functions were added:
-            herr_t H5Pset_fapl_mpiposix(hid_t fapl_id, MPI_Comm comm);
-            herr_t H5Pget_fapl_mpiposix(hid_t fapl_id, MPI_Comm *comm/*out*/);
-        QAK - 2002/07/15
-
-
-
-  o Support for new platforms and languages
-  =========================================
-    * C++ API now works on the Origin2000 (IRIX6.5.14.)  BMR - 2002/11/14
-
-  
-  o Misc.
-  =========================================
-    HDF5 1.4.5 works with Portland Group Compilers (pgcc, pgf90 and pgCC 
-    version 4.0-2) on Linux 2.4 
-
-
-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.4 Release
-==================================
-    * H5Fopen without the H5F_ACC_CREAT flag should not succeed in creating
-        a new file with the 'core' VFL driver.  QAK - 2003/01/24
-    * Corrected metadata caching bug in parallel I/O which could cause hangs
-        when chunked datasets were accessed with independent transfer mode.
-        QAK - 2003/01/23
-    * Allow opening objects with unknown object header messages.
-        QAK - 2003/01/21
-    * Added improved error assertion for nil VL strings.  It return error
-        stack instead of a simple assertion.  SLU - 2002/12/16
-    * Fixed h5dump bug(cannot dump data and datatype) for VL string. 
-        SLU - 2002/11/18 
-    * Fixed error condition where "none" selections were not being handled
-        correctly in serial & parallel.  QAK - 2002/10/29
-    * Fixed problem where optimized hyperslab routines were incorrectly
-        invoked for parallel I/O operations in collective mode.  QAK - 2002/07/22
-    * Fixed metadata corruption problem which could occur when many objects
-        are created in a file during parallel I/O.  QAK - 2002/07/19
-    * Fixed minor problem with configuration when users specified /usr/include
-        and /usr/lib for the --with-* options that some compilers can't
-        handle. BW - 2003/01/23

-
-Known Problems
-==============
-
-    * On Linux 2.4 IA64, Fortran test fails for h5dwrite_vl_f 
-      for integer and real base datatypes.
-
-    * When fortran library is built with Intel compilers, compilation
-      for fflush1.f90, fflush2.f90 and fortanlib_test.f90 will fail 
-      complaining about EXEC function. Comment the call to EXEC subroutine
-      in each program, or get a patch for the HDF5 Fortran source code. 
-
-    * Fortran external dataset test fails on Linux 2.4 with pgf90 compiler.
-
-    * On Windows, h5dump may abort printing if a VL string is longer than 4096
-      bytes due to a compiler problem.  It'll be fixed in v1.6 release.
-
-    * Datasets or attributes which have a variable-length string datatype are
-      not printing correctly with h5dump and h5ls.
-
-    * When a dataset with the variable-length datatype is overwritten, 
-      the library can develop memory leaks that cause the file to become 
-      unnecessarily large.  This is planned to be fixed in the next release.
-
-    * On the SV1, the h5ls test fails due to a difference between the 
-      SV1 printf precision and the printf precision on other platforms.
-
-    * The h5dump tests may fail to match the expected output on some
-      platforms (e.g. SP2 parallel, Windows) where the error messages
-      directed to "stderr" do not appear in the "right order" with output
-      from stdout.  This is not an error.
-
-    * The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for HP-UX
-      11.00 platforms.
-
-    * The executables are always dynamic on IRIX64 6.5(64 and n32) and 
-      IRIX 6.5 even if they are configured with --enable-static-exec.
-
-    * IRIX 6.5 fails to compile if configured with --enable-static-exec.
-
-    * The executables are always dynamic on Solaris 2.7 ans 2.8(64 and n32)
-      even if they are configured with --enable-static-exec.
-    
-    * The HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES optimization code in the parallel HDF5 will cause
-      a hang in some cases when chunked storage is used.  This is now set to
-      be off by default.  One may turn it on by setting the environment 
-      variable HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES to a non-zero value such as 1.
-
-    * On OSF1 v5.1 and IA32 h5dumpgentst program that generates test files
-      for h5dump, gives segmentation fault.
-
-    * On Windows platforms, C and Fortran tests fail with the debug DLL version
-      of the Library if built from all_withf90.zip file.
-
-    * On Cray T3E (sn6606 2.0.6.08 unicosmk CRAY T3E) with Cray Standard C Version 6.6.0.1.3
-      compiler optimization causes errors in many HDF5 Library tests. Use -g -h zero flags
-      to build HDF5 Library. 
-
-    * On Cray SV1 10.0.1. 0 datatype convertion test fails. Please check HDF FTP site
-      if patch is available. We will try to provide one in the nearest future. 
-
-    * For configuration, building and testing with Intel and PGI compilers see
-      corresponding section in INSTALL file.

-New Features
-============
-  o Configuration
-  ================
-    * The H4 to H5 tools have been removed from the main source and placed 
-      in a separate package. You can get these tools from the HDF ftp site
-      (ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/). The "--with-hdf4" command-line option 
-      during configure is no longer valid.  BW - 2002/06/25
-
-  o Library
-  =========
-    o General
-    --------- 
-      * Fill-value forward-compatibility with release 1.5 was added.  SLU -
-        2002/04/11
-      * A new query function H5Tget_member_index has been added for compound
-        and enumeration data types.  This function retrieves a member's index 
-        by name.  SLU - 2002/04/05
-      * Added serial multi-gigabyte file size test.  "test/big -h" shows
-        the help page.  AKC - 2002/03/29
- 
-    o APIs
-    ------
-      * The F90 subroutines h5dwrite_f, h5dread_f, h5awrite_f, and h5aread_f 
-        were overloaded with a "dims" argument of type INTEGER(HSIZE_T) to 
-        specify the size of the array.  We recommend using these subroutines 
-        with the new type; module subroutines that accept "dims" as an i
-        INTEGER array of size 7 will be deprecated in release 1.6.  
-        EIP - 2002/05/06
- 
-    o Performance
-    -------------
-      * Added internal "small data" aggregation, which can reduce the number of
-        actual I/O calls made, improving performance.  QAK - 2002/06/05
-      * Improved internal metadata aggregation, which can reduce the number of
-        actual I/O calls made, improving performance.  Additionally, this can
-        reduce the size of files produced.  QAK - 2002/06/04
-      * Improved internal metadata caching, which can reduce the number of
-        actual I/O calls made by a substantial amount, improving
-        performance.  QAK - 2002/06/03
-
-
-  o Parallel library
-  ==================
-    * Fixed bug in parallel I/O routines where a collective I/O which used
-      MPI derived types, followed by an independent I/O would cause the library
-      to hang.  QAK 2002/06/24
-    * Added environment variable flag to control whether creating MPI derived
-      types is preferred or not.  This can affect performance, depending on
-      which way the MPI-I/O library is optimized.  The default is set to
-      prefer MPI derived types for collective raw data transfers; setting the
-      HDF5_MPI_PREFER_DERIVED_TYPES environment variable to "0" (i.e.:
-      "setenv HDF5_MPI_PREFER_DERIVED_TYPES 0") changes the preference to avoid
-      using them whenever possible.  QAK - 2002/06/19
-    * Changed MPI I/O routines to avoid creating MPI derived types (and thus
-      needing to set the file view) for contiguous selections within datasets.
-      This should result in some performance improvement for those types of
-      selections.  QAK - 2002/06/18
-    * Changed MPI type support for collective I/O to be enabled by default.
-      This can be disabled by setting the HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES environment
-      variable to the value "0".  QAK - 2002/06/14
-    * Allowed chunks in chunked datasets to be cached when parallel file is
-      opened for read-only access (bug #709).  QAK - 2002/06/10
-    * Changed method for allocating chunked dataset blocks to only allocate
-      blocks that don't already exist, instead of attempting to create all the
-      blocks all the time.  This improves performance for chunked
-      datasets.  QAK - 2002/05/17
-    * Allowed the call to MPI_File_sync to be avoided when the file is going to
-      immediately be closed, improving performance.  QAK - 2002/05/13
-    * Allowed the metadata writes to be shared among all processes, easing the
-      burden on process 0.  QAK - 2002/05/10
-
-
-  o Tools
-  =======
-    * h5redeploy utility was added. It updates HDF5 compiler tools
-      after the HDF5 software has been installed in a new location.
-
-
-  o Support for new platforms and languages
-  =========================================
-    * Parallel Fortran Library works now on HP-UX B.11.00 Sys V.
-      EIP - 2002/05/06
-    * Intel C++ and F90 compilers Version 6.0 are supported on Linux 2.4.
-    * Intel C++ compilers Version 6.0 are supported on Windows 2000.
-
-  
-  o Misc.
-  =========================================
-   * zlib has been moved out of the Windows source release. Users should go to
-     the ZLIB homepage(http://www.zlib.org) to download the corresponding 
-     zlib library.
-   * The Windows binary release is built with the old version of the zlib 
-     library.  We expect users to use zlib 1.1.4 to build with the source 
-     release.  
-   * In the Windows-specific install document, we specify how to test backward
-     compatibility. However, in this release, we are not testing the backward
-     compatibility of HDF5.
-
-
-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.3 Release
-==================================
-    * Fixed bug in chunking routines where they were using internal allocation
-        free routines, instead of malloc/free, preventing user filters from
-        working correctly.  Chunks are now allocated/freed with malloc/free and
-        so should the chunks in user filters.  QAK 2002/06/18
-    * Fixed bug where regular hyperslab selection could get incorrectly
-        transferred when the number of elements in a row did not fit evenly
-        into the buffer provided.  QAK 2002/06/12
-    * Fixed bug (#499) which allowed an "empty" compound or enumerated datatype
-        (one with no members) to be used to create a dataset or to be committed
-        to a file.  QAK - 2002/06/11
-    * Fixed bug (#777) which allowed a compound datatype to be inserted into
-        itself.  QAK - 2002/06/10
-    * Fixed bug (#789) where creating 1-D dataset region reference caused the
-        library to go into infinite loop.  QAK - 2002/06/10
-    * Fixed bug (#699, fix provided by a user) where a scalar dataspace was
-        written to the file and then subsequently queried with the
-        H5Sget_simple_extent_type function; type was reported as H5S_SIMPLE 
-        instead of H5S_SCALAR. EIP - 2002/06/04
-    * Clear symbol table node "dirty" flag when flushing symbol tables to
-        disk, to reduce I/O calls made & improve performance.  QAK - 2002/06/03
-    * Fixed bug where an object's header could get corrupted in certain
-        obscure situations when many objects were created in the
-        file.  QAK - 2002/05/31
-    * Fixed bug where read/write intent in file IDs created with H5Freopen
-        was not being kept the same as the original file.  QAK - 2002/05/14
-    * Fixed bug where selection offsets were not being used when iterating
-        through point and hyperslab selections with
-        H5Diterate().  QAK - 2002/04/29
-    * Fixed bug where the data for several level deep nested compound &
-        variable-length datatypes used for datasets were getting corrupted when
-        written to the file.  QAK - 2002/04/17
-    * Fixed bug where selection offset was being ignored for certain hyperslab
-        selections when optimized I/O was being performed.  QAK - 2002/04/02
-    * Fixed limitation in h5dumper with object names which reached over 1024
-        characters in length. We can now handle arbitrarily larger sizes for
-        object names. BW - 2002/03/29
-    * Fixed bug where variable-length string type did not behave as a
-        string.  SLU - 2002/03/28
-    * Fixed bug in H5Gget_objinfo() which was not setting the 'fileno'
-        of the H5G_stat_t struct.  QAK - 2002/03/27
-    * Fixed data corruption bug in hyperslab routines when contiguous
-        hyperslab that spans entire dimension and is larger than type
-        conversion buffer is attempted to be read.  QAK - 2002/03/26
-
-
-Performance Improvements
-========================
-    This release of the HDF5 library has been extensively tuned to improve
-performance, especially to improve parallel I/O performance.
-    Most of the specific information for particular performance improvements
-is mentioned in the "New Features" and "Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.3" sections
-of this document, but in general, the library should make fewer and larger
-I/O requests when accessing a file.  Additionally, improvements to the parallel
-I/O portions of the library should have reduced the communications and barriers
-used in various internal algorithms, improving the performance of the library.
-    However, with the extensive changes to some portions of the library that
-were required for these improvements, some errors or unanticipated results may
-have been introduced also.  Please report any problems encountered to our
-support team at hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
-    Hopefully these improvements will benefit all HDF5 applications, but if
-there are particular I/O patterns that appear to be slower than necessary,
-please send e-mail to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu with a sample program showing the
-problem behavior; we will look into the issue to see if it is possible to
-address it.

-Known Problems
-==============
-
-    * Datasets or attributes which have a variable-length string datatype are
-      not printing correctly with h5dump and h5ls.
-
-    * When a dataset with the variable-length datatype is overwritten, 
-      the library can develop memory leaks that cause the file to become 
-      unnecessarily large.  This is planned to be fixed in the next release.
-
-    * On the SV1, the h5ls test fails due to a difference between the 
-      SV1 printf precision and the printf precision on other platforms.
-
-    * The h5dump tests may fail to match the expected output on some
-      platforms (e.g. SP2 parallel, Windows) where the error messages
-      directed to "stderr" do not appear in the "right order" with output
-      from stdout.  This is not an error.
-
-    * The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for HP-UX
-      11.00 platforms.
-
-    * The executables are always dynamic on IRIX64 6.5(64 and n32) and 
-      IRIX 6.5 even if they are configured with --enable-static-exec.
-
-    * IRIX 6.5 fails to compile if configured with --enable-static-exec.
-    
-    * The HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES optimization code in the parallel HDF5 will cause
-      a hang in some cases when chunked storage is used.  This is now set to
-      be off by default.  One may turn it on by setting the environment 
-      variable HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES to a non-zero value such as 1.
-
-    * On IA32 and IA64 systems, if you use a compiler other than GCC (such as
-      Intel's ecc or icc compilers), you will need to modify the generated
-      "libtool" program after configuration is finished. On or around line 104
-      of the libtool file, there are lines which look like:
-
-          # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler.
-          wl=""
-
-      Change these lines to this:
-
-          # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler.
-          wl="-Wl,"
-
-    * To build the Fortran library using Intel compilers, one has to 
-          x modify the source code in the fortran/src directory to remove the
-            !DEC and !MS compiler directives.
-          x The build will fail in the fortran/test directory and then in the
-            fortran/examples directory; to proceed, edit the work.pcl files in
-            those directories to contain two lines
-
-                    work.pc
-                    ../src/work.pc 
-
-    * To build the Fortran library on IA64 use
-                   setenv CC "ecc -DIA64"
-                   setenv F9X "efc -cl,work.pcl"
-            before running configure and see the steps described above.

-- Documentation
-- Platforms Tested

-
-New Features
-============
-  o Configuration
-  ================
-    * Can use just enable-threadsafe if the C compiler has built-in pthreads
-      support.
-
-  o Library
-  =========
-   o General
-   --------- 
-    * Added a new test to verify the information provided by the configure
-      command.
-    * Changed internal error handling macros to reduce code size of library by
-      about 10%.
-
-   o APIs
-   ------
-    * Changed prototype for H5Awrite from:
-        H5Awrite(hid_t attr_id, hid_t type_id, void *buf)
-      to:
-        H5Awrite(hid_t attr_id, hid_t type_id, const void *buf)
-    * The H5Pset_fapl_split() accepts raw and meta file names similar to the
-      syntax of H5Pset_fapl_multi() in addition to what it used to accept.
-
-    C++ API:
-    * Added operator= to class PredType
-    * Add the overloaded member function Attribute::getName to return
-      the attribute name's length as in C API.  Note that the current
-      Attribute::getName, that returns "string", is still available.
-    * Following the change in the C library, the corresponding C++ API
-      is changed from:
-        void Attribute::write( const DataType& mem_type, void *buf )
-      to:
-        void Attribute::write( const DataType& mem_type, const void *buf )
-
-   o Performance
-   -------------
-    * Added perform programs to test the HDF5 library performance.  Programs
-      are installed in directory perform/.
-    * Improved performance of byte-swapping during data conversions.
-    * Improved performance of single, contiguous hyperslabs when reading or
-      writing.
-    * Added support to read/write portions of chunks directly, if they are
-      uncompressed and too large to cache.  This should speed up I/O on chunked
-      datasets for a few more cases.  -QAK, 1/31/02
-
-  o Parallel Library
-  ==================
-    * Parallel C HDF5 now works on HP-UX platforms, Compaq clusters,
-      Linux clusters, Cplants (alpha-linux clusters).
-
-  o Tools
-  =======
-    * A helper script called ``h5cc'', which helps compilation of HDF5
-      programs, is now distributed with HDF5. See the reference manual
-      for information on how to use this feature.
-    * The H5Dumper can now dump comments associated with groups. -WCW 01-05-02
-
-  o Support for new platforms and languages
-  =========================================
-    * HDF5 C++ Library is supported on Windows platforms (shared and static)
-    * HDF5 F90 shared library is supported on Windows platforms.
-    * HDF5 C Library is supported on IA32 and IA64 platforms.
-
-
-
-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.2 Release
-==================================
-
-    * Fixed a bug when reading chunked datasets where the edge of the dataset
-      would be incorrectly detected and generate an assertion failure.
-    * Fixed a bug where reading an entire dataset wasn't being handled
-      optimally when the dataset had unlimited dimensions.  Dataset is read
-      in a single low-level I/O now, instead of being broken into separate
-      pieces internally.
-    * Fixed a bug where reading or writing chunked data which needed datatype
-      conversion could result in data values getting corrupted.
-    * Fixed a bug where appending a point selection to the current selection
-      would not actually append the point when there were no points defined
-      currently.
-    * Fixed a bug where 'or'ing a hyperslab with a 'none' selection would
-      fail.  Now adds that hyperslab as the first hyperlab in the selection.
-    * Fixed a bug in the 'big' test where quota limits weren't being detected
-      properly if they caused close() to fail.
-    * Fixed a bug in internal B-tree code where a B-tree was not being copied
-      correctly.
-    * Fixed an off-by-one error in H5Sselect_valid when hyperslab selections
-      which would allow hyperslab selections which overlapped the edge of the
-      selection by one element as valid.
-    * Fixed the internal macros used to encode & decode file metadata, to avoid
-      an unaligned access warning on IA64 machines.
-    * Corrected behavior of H5Tinsert to not allow compound datatype fields to
-      be inserted past the end of the datatype.
-    * Retired the DPSS virtual file driver (--with-gridstorage configure
-      option).
-    * Fixed bug where variable-length datatypes for attributes was not working
-      correctly.
-    * Fixed bug where raw data re-allocated from the free-list would sometimes
-      overlap with the metadata accumulator and get corrupted. QAK - 1/23/02
-    * Fixed bug where a preempted chunk in the chunk data could still be
-      used by an internal pointer and cause an assertion failure or core
-      dump. QAK - 2/13/02
-    * Fixed bug where non-zero fill-value was not being read correctly from
-      certain chunked datasets when using an "all" or contiguous hyperslab
-      selection.  QAK - 2/14/02

-Known Problems
-==============
-
-    * Datasets or attributes which have a variable-length string datatype are
-      not printing correctly with h5dump and h5ls.
-
-    * When a dataset with the variable-legth datatype is overwritten, 
-      the library can develop memory leaks that cause the file to become 
-      unnecessarily large.  This is planned to be fixed in the next release.
-
-    * On the SV1, the h5ls test fails due to a difference between the 
-      SV1 printf precision and the printf precision on other platforms.
-
-
-    * The h5dump tests may fail to match the expected output in some
-      platforms (e.g. SP2 parallel, Windows) where the error messages
-      directed to "stderr" do not appear in the "right order" with output
-      from stdout.  This is not an error.
-
-    * The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for HP-UX
-      11.00 platforms.
-
-    * The executables are always dynamic on IRIX64 6.5(64 and n32) and 
-      IRIX 6.5 even if they are configured with --enable-static-exec.
-
-    * IRIX 6.5 fails to compile if configured with --enable-static-exec.
-    
-    * The HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES optimization code in the parallel HDF5 will cause
-      a hang in some cases when chunked storage is used.  This is now set to
-      be off by default.  One may turn it on by setting environment variable
-      HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES to a non-zero value such as 1.
-
-    * On IA64 systems one has to use -DIA64 compilation flag to compile
-      h4toh5 and h5toh4 utilites. After configuration step manually modify
-      Makefile in the tools/h4toh4 and tools/h5toh4 directories to add 
-      -DIA64 to the compilation flags.
-
-    * On IA32 ansd IA64 systems, if you use a compiler other than GCC 
-      (such as Intel's ecc compiler), you will need to modify the generated
-      "libtool" program after configuration is finished. On or around line 102 
-      of the libtool file, there are lines which look like:
-
-          # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler.
-          wl=""
-
-      change the lines to this:
-
-          # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler.
-          wl="-Wl,"

-New Features
-============
-
-    * File sizes greater than 2GB are now supported on Linux systems with
-      version 2.4.x or higher kernels.
-    * Added a global string variable H5_lib_vers_info_g which holds the
-      HDF5 library version information.  This can be used to identify
-      an hdf5 library or hdf5 application binary.
-      Also added a verification of the consistency between H5_lib_vers_info_g
-      and other version information in the source code.
-    * Parallel HDF5 now runs on the HP V2500 and HP N4000 machines.
-    * F90 API:
-        - Added aditional parameter "dims" to the h5dread_f/h5dwrite_f and
-          h5aread_f/h5awrite_f subroutines.  This parameter is a 1-D array 
-          of size 7 and contains the sizes of the data buffer dimensions. 
-          This change enables portability between Windows and UNIX platforms.
-          In previous versions of the F90 APIs, the data buffer parameters of 
-          the above functions were declared as assumed-shape arrays, which 
-          were passed to the C functions by a descriptor.  There is no 
-          portable means, however, of passing descriptors from F90 to C, 
-          causing portability problems between Windows and UNIX and among
-          UNIX platforms.  With this change, the data buffers are assumed-
-          size arrays, which can be portably passed to the C functions.
-    * F90 static library is available on Windows platforms. 
-      See INSTALL_Windows_withF90.txt for details.
-    * F90 APIs are available on HPUX 11.00 and 10.20 and IBM SP platforms.
-    * H5 <-> GIF convertor has been added. This is available under 
-      tools/gifconv. The convertor supports the ability to create animated
-      gifs as well.
-    * Verified correct operation of library on Solaris 2.8 in both 64-bit and
-      32-bit compilation modes.  See INSTALL document for instructions on
-      compiling the distribution with 64-bit support.
-    * Added support for the Metrowerks Code Warrior compiler for Windows.  
-    * For H4->H5 converter utility, added a new option to choose not to convert
-      HDF4 specified attributes(reference number, class) into HDF5 attributes.
-    * Added support chunking and compression in SDS and image in H4->H5 converter. 
-      Currently HDF5 only supports gzip compression, so by default an HDF4 file 
-      with any other compression method will be converted into an HDF5 file in 
-      gzip compression. 
-    * correct the order or reading HDF4 image array in H4->H5 conversion.  
-    * Added new parallel hdf5 tests in t_mpi.  The new test checks if the
-      filesystem or the MPI-IO can really handle greater than 2GB files.
-      If it fails, it prints information message only without failing the
-      test.
-    * Added a parallel HDF5 example examples/ph5example.c to illustrate
-      the basic way of using parallel HDF5.
-    * Added a new public macro, H5_VERS_INFO, which is a string holding
-      the HDF5 library version information.  This string is also compiled
-      into all HDF5 binary code which helps to identify the version information
-      of the binary code.  One may use the Unix strings command on the binary
-      file and looks for the pattern "HDF5 library version".
-    * Added new checking in H5check_version() to verify the five HDF5 version
-      information macros (H5_VERS_MAJOR, H5_VERS_MINOR, H5_VERS_RELEASE,
-      H5_VERS_SUBRELEASE and H5_VERS_INFO) are consistent.

-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.1 Release
-==================================
-
-    * Fixed bug with non-zero userblock sizes causing raw data to not
-      write correctly.
-    * Fixed problems with Pablo build and linking with non-standard MPI I/O.
-    * Fixed build on Linux systems with --enable-static-exec flag. It now
-      works correctly.
-    * IMPORTANT: Fixed file metadata corruption bug which could cause 
-      metadata data loss in certain situations.
-    * The allocation by alignment (H5Pset_alignment) feature code somehow
-      got dropped in some 1.3.x version. Re-implemented it with "new and
-      improved" algorithm.  It keeps track of "wasted" file-fragment in
-      the free-list too.
-    * Removed limitation that the data transfer buffer size needed to be
-      set for datasets whose dimensions were too large for the 'all' 
-      selection code to handle.  Any size dimensioned datasets should be 
-      handled correctly now.
-    * Changed behavior of H5Tget_member_type to correctly emulate HDF5 v1.2.x
-      when --enable-hdf5v1_2 configure flag is enabled.
-    * Added --enable-linux-lfs flag to allow more control over whether to 
-      enable or disable large file support on Linux.
-    * Fixed various bugs releated to SDS dimensional scale conversions in H4->H5 
-      converter.
-    * Fixed a bug to correctly convert HDF4 objects with fill value into HDF5.
-    * Fixed a bug of H5pubconf.h causing repeated definitions if it is included
-      more than once.  hdf5.h now includes H5public.h which includes
-      H5pubconf.h.  Applications should #include hdf5.h which handles multiple
-      inclusion correctly.
-    * Fixed H5FDmpio.h to be C++ friendly by making Parallel HDF5 API's to be
-      external to C++.
-    * Fixed a bug in H5FD_mpio_flush() that might result in negative file seek
-      if both MPIO and Split-file drivers are used together.
-
-
-
-Documentation
-=============
-
-    * The H5T_conv_t and H5T_cdata_t structures are now properly defined
-      in the H5Tregister entry in the "H5T" section of the "HDF5 Reference 
-      Manual" and described in detail in section 12, "Data Conversions," in 
-      the "Datatypes" chapter of the "HDF5 User's Guide."
-    * The new tools h52gif and gif2h5 have been added to the "Tools" section
-      of the Reference Manual.
-    * A "Freespace Management" section has been added to the "Performance" 
-      chapter of the User's Guide.
-    * Several user-reported bugs have been fixed since Release 1.4.1.
-    * The "HDF5 Image and Palette Specification" (in the "HDF5 Application
-      Developer's Guide") has been heavily revised.  Based on extensive user 
-      feedback and input from visualization software developers, Version 1.2 
-      of the image specification is substantially different from prior 
-      versions.

-Known Problems
-==============
-
-    * When a dataset with the variable-legth datatype is overwritten, 
-      the library can develop memory leaks that cause the file to become 
-      unnecessarily large.  This is planned to be fixed in the next release.
-
-    * On the SV1, the h5ls test fails due to a difference between the 
-      SV1 printf precision and the printf precision on other platforms.
-
-    * The h5dump tests may fail to match the expected output in some
-      platforms (e.g. SP2 parallel, Windows) where the error messages
-      directed to "stderr" do not appear in the "right order" with output
-      from stdout.  This is not an error.
-
-    * The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for HP-UX
-      11.00 platforms.
-
-    * The executables are always dynamic on IRIX64 6.5(64 and n32) and 
-      IRIX 6.5 even if they are configured with --enable-static-exec.
-
-    * IRIX 6.5 fails to compile if configured with --enable-static-exec.
-    
-    * For 24-bit image conversion from H4->H5, the current conversion is
-      not consistent with HDF5 image specification. 
-
-    * In some cases, and SDS with an UNLIMITED dimension that has not
-      been written (current size = 0) is not converted correctly.
-
-    * After "make install" or "make install-doc" one may need to reload
-      the source from the tar file before doing another build.
-
-    * The HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES optimization code in the parallel HDF5 will cause
-      a hang in some cases when chunked storage is used.  This is now set to
-      be off by default.  One may turn it on by setting environment variable
-      HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES to a non-zero value such as 1.

-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.0 Release
-==================================
-
-   * h4toh5 utility: conversion of images is fixed
-
-     Earlier releases of the h4toh5 utility produced images that did not
-     correctly conform to the HDF5 Image and Palette Specification.
-
-       http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/doc/ImageSpec.html
-
-     Several required HDF5 attributes are omitted, and the dataspace
-     is reversed (i.e., the ht. and width of the image dataset is
-     incorrectly described.)  For more information, please see:
-
-       http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/H5Image/ImageDetails.htm
-
-   * Fixed bug with contiguous hyperslabs not being detected, causing
-     slower I/O than necessary.
-   * Fixed bug where non-aligned hyperslab I/O on chunked datasets was
-     causing errors during I/O
-   * The RCSID string in H5public.h was causing the C++ compiling problem
-     because when it was included multiple times, C++ did not like
-     multiple definitions of the same static variable. All occurance of
-     RCSID definition are removed since we have not used it consistently
-     before.

-New Features
-============
-   * The Virtual File Layer, VFL, was added to replace the old file
-     drivers. It also provides an API for user defined file drivers.
-   * New features added to snapshots. Use 'snapshot help' to see a
-     complete list of features.
-   * Improved configure to detect if MPIO routines are available when
-     parallel mode is requested.
-   * Added Thread-Safe support. Phase I implemented. See:
-
-        http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/papers/mthdf/MTHDFpaper.htm
-
-     for more details.
-   * Added data sieve buffering to raw data I/O path. This is enabled
-     for all VFL drivers except the mpio & core drivers. Setting the
-     sieve buffer size is controlled with the new API function,
-     H5Pset_sieve_buf_size(), and retrieved with H5Pget_sieve_buf_size().
-   * Added new Virtual File Driver, Stream VFD, to send/receive entire
-     HDF5 files via socket connections.
-   * As parts of VFL, HDF-GASS and HDF-SRB are also added to this
-     release. To find out details, please read INSTALL_VFL file. 
-   * Increased maximum number of dimensions for a dataset (H5S_MAX_RANK)
-     from 31 to 32 to align with HDF4 & netCDF.
-   * Added 'query' function to VFL drivers.  Also added 'type' parameter to
-     VFL 'read' & 'write' calls, so they are aware of the type of data
-     being accessed in the file.  Updated the VFL document also.
-   * A new h4toh5 utility, to convert HDF4 files to analogous HDF5 files.
-   * Added a new array datatype to the datatypes which can be created.  
-     Removed "array fields" from compound datatypes (use an array datatype 
-     instead).
-   * Parallel HDF5 works correctly with mpich-1.2.1 on Solaris, SGI, Linux.
-   * You can now install the HDF5 documentation using the
-     ``make install-doc'' command. The documentation is installed in the
-     $(prefix)/doc directory where $(prefix) is the prefix specified by
-     the (optional) ``--prefix'' flag during configuration.
-   * HDF5 can operate correctly in the OpenMP environment in a limited way.
-     Check doc/html/TechNotes/openmp-hdf5.html for details.
-
-
-h4toh5 Utility 
-==============
-    The h4toh5 utility is a new utility that converts an HDF4 file to an 
-    HDF5 file.  For details, see the document, "Mapping HDF4 Objects to 
-    HDF5 Objects":
-       http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/papers/H4-H5MappingGuidelines.pdf
-
-    Known Bugs:
-
-      The h4toh5 utility produces images that do not correctly conform
-      to the HDF5 Image and Palette Specification. 
-
-        http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/doc/ImageSpec.html
-
-      Several required HDF5 attributes are omitted, and the dataspace 
-      is reversed (i.e., the ht. and width of the image dataset is 
-      incorrectly described.)  For more information, please see:
-
-        http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/H5Image/ImageDetails.html
- 
-      This bug has been fixed for the snapshot of hdf5 1.4 release. March 12th,2001
-
-    Known Limitations of the h4toh5 release
-    ---------------------------------------------
-
-    1. Error handlings
-
-       h4toh5 utility will print out an error message when an error occurs.
-
-    2. String Datatype
-
-    HDF4 has no 'string' type. String valued data are usually defined as
-    an array of 'char' in HDF4. The h4toh5 utility will generally map
-    these to HDF5 'String' types rather than array of char, with the
-    following additional rules:
-
-       * For the data of an HDF4 SDS, image, and palette, if the data is
-         declared 'DFNT_CHAR8' it will be assumed to be integer and will
-         be an H5T_INTEGER type.
-       * For attributes of any HDF4 object, data of type 'DFNT_CHAR8'
-         will be converted to an HDF5 'H5T_STRING' type.
-       * For an HDF4 Vdata, it is difficult to determine whether data 
-         of type 'DFNT_CHAR8' is intended to be bytes or characters. The
-         h4toh5 utility will consider them to be C characters, and will
-         convert them to an HDF5 'H5T_STRING' type.
-
-
-    3. Compression, Chunking and External Storage
-
-    Chunking is supported, but compression and external storage is not.
-
-    An HDF4 object that uses chunking will be converted to an HDF5 file
-    with analogous chunked storage.
-
-    An HDF4 object that uses compression will be converted to an
-    uncompressed HDF5 object.  
-
-    An HDF4 object that uses external storage will be converted to an
-    HDF5 object without external storage.  
-
-    4. Memory Use
-
-    This version of the h4toh5 utility copies data from HDF4 objects
-    in a single read followed by a single write to the HDF5 object. For
-    large objects, this requires a very large amount of memory, which may
-    be extremely slow or fail on some platforms.
-
-    Note that a dataset that has only been partly written will
-    be read completely, including uninitialized data, and all the
-    data will be written to the HDF5 object.
-
-    5. Platforms
-
-    The h4toh5 utility requires HDF5-1.4.0 and HDF4r1.4
-
-    h4toh5 utility has been tested on all platforms listed below (see 
-    section "Platforms Tested") except TFLOPS.
-
- 
-F90 Support
-===========
-    This is the first release of the HDF5 Library with fully integrated 
-    F90 API support.  The Fortran Library is created when the 
-    --enable-fortran flag is specified during configuration.
-
-    Not all F90 subroutines are implemented. Please refer to the HDF5 
-    Reference Manual for more details.
-   
-    F90 APIs are available for the Solaris 2.6 and 2.7, Linux, DEC UNIX, 
-    T3E, SV1 and O2K (64 bit option only) platforms. The Parallel version of 
-    the HDF5 F90 Library is supported on the O2K and T3E platforms.
-
-    Changes since the last prototype release (July 2000)
-    ----------------------------------------------------
-       * h5open_f and h5close_f must be called instead of h5init_types and 
-         h5close_types.
-
-       * The following subroutines are no longer available: 
-
-             h5pset_xfer_f
-             h5pget_xfer_f
-             h5pset_mpi_f
-             h5pget_mpi_f
-             h5pset_stdio_f
-             h5pget_stdio_f
-             h5pset_sec2_f
-             h5pget_sec2_f
-             h5pset_core_f
-             h5pget_core_f
-             h5pset_family_f
-             h5pget_family_f
-             
-       * The following functions have been added:
-
-             h5pset_fapl_mpio_f
-             h5pget_fapl_mpio_f
-             h5pset_dxpl_mpio_f
-             h5pget_dxpl_mpio_f
-        
-       * In the previous HDF5 F90 releases, the implementation of object 
-         references and dataset region references was not portable. This 
-         release introduces a portable implementation, but it also introduces 
-         changes to the read/write APIs that handle references.  If object or 
-         dataset region references are written or read to/from an HDF5 file, 
-         h5dwrite_f and h5dread_f must use the extra parameter, n, for the 
-         buffer size:
-
-            h5dwrite(read)_f(dset_id, mem_type_id, buf, n, hdferr, &
-                                                       ^^^ 
-                             mem_space_id, file_space_id, xfer_prp)
-
-         For other datatypes the APIs were not changed. 
-              
-             
-C++ Support
-===========
-    This is the first release of the HDF5 Library with fully integrated 
-    C++ API support. The HDF5 C++ library is built when the --enable-cxx
-    flag is specified during configuration.
-
-    Check the HDF5 Reference Manual for available C++ documentation.
-
-    C++ APIs are available for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7, Linux, and FreeBSD. 
-
-
-Pablo Support
-=============
-    This version does not allow proper building of the Pablo-instrumented
-    version of the library.  A version supporting the pablo build is
-    available on the Pablo Website at 
-    www-pablo.cs.uiuc.edu/pub/Pablo.Release.5/HDFLibrary/hdf5_v1.4.tar.gz
-
-
-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.2.0
-==========================
-
-Library
--------
-   * The function H5Pset_mpi is renamed as H5Pset_fapl_mpio.
-   * Corrected a floating point number conversion error for the Cray J90
-     platform. The error did not convert the value 0.0 correctly.
-   * Error was fixed which was not allowing dataset region references to
-     have their regions retrieved correctly.
-   * Corrected a bug that caused non-parallel file drivers to fail in
-     the parallel version.
-   * Added internal free-lists to reduce memory required by the library
-     and H5garbage_collect API function
-   * Fixed error in H5Giterate which was not updating the "index"
-     parameter correctly.
-   * Fixed error in hyperslab iteration which was not walking through the
-     correct sequence of array elements if hyperslabs were staggered in a
-     certain pattern
-   * Fixed several other problems in hyperslab iteration code.
-   * Fixed another H5Giterate bug which was causes groups with large
-     numbers of objects in them to misbehave when the callback function
-     returned non-zero values.
-   * Changed return type of H5Aiterate and H5A_operator_t typedef to be
-     herr_t, to align them with the dataset and group iterator functions.
-   * Changed H5Screate_simple and H5Sset_extent_simple to not allow
-     dimensions of size 0 with out the same dimension being unlimited.
-   * QAK - 4/19/00 - Improved metadata hashing & caching algorithms to
-     avoid many hash flushes and also remove some redundant I/O when
-     moving metadata blocks in the file.
-   * The "struct(opt)" type conversion function which gets invoked for
-     certain compound datatype conversions was fixed for nested compound
-     types. This required a small change in the datatype conversion
-     function API.
-   * Re-wrote lots of the hyperslab code to speed it up quite a bit.
-   * Added bounded garbage collection for the free lists when they run
-     out of memory and also added H5set_free_list_limits API call to
-     allow users to put an upper limit on the amount of memory used for
-     free lists.
-   * Checked for non-existent or deleted objects when dereferencing one
-     with object or region references and disallow dereference.
-   * "Time" datatypes (H5T_UNIX_D*) were not being stored and retrieved
-     from object headers correctly, fixed now.
-   * Fixed H5Dread or H5Dwrite calls with H5FD_MPIO_COLLECTIVE requests
-     that may hang because not all processes are transfer the same amount
-     of data. (A.K.A. prematured collective return when zero amount data
-     requested.) Collective calls that may cause hanging is done via the
-     corresponding MPI-IO independent calls.
-   * If configure with --enable-debug=all, couple functions would issue
-     warning messages to "stderr" that the operation is expensive time-wise.
-     This messed up applications (like testings) that did not expect the
-     extra output. It is changed so that the warning will be printed only
-     if the corresponding Debug key is set.
-
-Configuration
--------------
-   * The hdf5.h include file was fixed to allow the HDF5 Library to be
-     compiled with other libraries/applications that use GNU autoconf. 
-   * Configuration for parallel HDF5 was improved. Configure now attempts
-     to link with libmpi.a and/or libmpio.a as the MPI libraries by
-     default. It also uses "mpirun" to launch MPI tests by default. It
-     tests to link MPIO routines during the configuration stage, rather
-     than failing later as before. One can just do "./configure
-     --enable-parallel" if the MPI library is in the system library.
-   * Added support for pthread library and thread-safe option.
-   * The libhdf5.settings file shows the correct machine byte-sex.
-   * Added option "--enable-stream-vfd" to configure w/o the Stream VFD.
-     For Solaris, added -lsocket to the LIBS list of libraries.
-
-Tools
------
-   * h5dump now accepts both short and long command-line parameters:
-         -h, --help          Print a usage message and exit
-         -B, --bootblock     Print the content of the boot block
-         -H, --header        Print the header only; no data is displayed
-         -i, --object-ids    Print the object ids
-         -V, --version       Print version number and exit
-         -a P, --attribute=P Print the specified attribute
-         -d P, --dataset=P   Print the specified dataset
-         -g P, --group=P     Print the specified group and all members
-         -l P, --soft-link=P Print the value(s) of the specified soft link
-         -o F, --output=F    Output raw data into file F
-         -t T, --datatype=T  Print the specified named data type
-         -w #, --width=#     Set the number of columns
-
-     P - is the full path from the root group to the object.
-     T - is the name of the data type.
-     F - is a filename.
-     # - is an integer greater than 1.
-   * A change from the old way command line parameters were interpreted
-     is that multiple attributes, datasets, groups, soft-links, and
-     object-ids cannot be specified with just one flag but you have to
-     use a flag with each object. I.e., instead of doing this:
-
-       h5dump -a /attr1 /attr2 foo.h5
-
-     do this:
-
-       h5dump -a /attr1 -a /attr2 foo.h5
-
-     The cases are similar for the other object types.
-   * h5dump correctly displays compound datatypes.
-   * Corrected an error in h5toh4 which did not convert the 32bits
-     int from HDF5 to HDF4 correctly for the T3E platform.
-   * h5dump correctly displays the committed copy of predefined types
-     correctly.
-   * Added an option, -V, to show the version information of h5dump.
-   * Fixed a core dumping bug of h5toh4 when executed on platforms like 
-     TFLOPS.
-   * The test script for h5toh4 used to not able to detect the hdp
-     dumper command was not valid.  It now detects and reports the
-     failure of hdp execution.
-   * Merged the tools with the 1.2.2 branch. Required adding new
-     macros, VERSION12 and VERSION13, used in conditional compilation.
-     Updated the Windows project files for the tools.            
-   * h5dump displays opaque and bitfield data correctly.
-   * h5dump and h5ls can browse files created with the Stream VFD
-     (eg. "h5ls <hostname>:<port>").
-   * h5dump has a new feature "-o <filename>" which outputs the raw data
-     of the dataset into ascii text file <filename>.
-   * h5toh4 used to converts hdf5 strings type to hdf4 DFNT_INT8 type.
-     Corrected to produce hdf4 DFNT_CHAR type instead.
-   * h5dump and h5ls displays array data correctly.
-
-
-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.0-beta2
-================================
-   * Fixed a bug in the conversion from a little endian double to a big 
-     endian float in some special cases.
-   * Corrected configuration error which was not including compression 
-     support correctly. 
-   * Cleaned up lots of warnings.
-   * Changed a few h5dump command line switches and added long versions of
-     the switches.
-   * Changed parameters for H5Tconvert, H5Pset_bufer and H5Pget_buffer from
-     size_t to hsize_t
-   * Fixed fairly obscure bug in hyperslab I/O which could (in rare cases)
-     not copy all the data during a transfer.
-   * Removed ragged array code from library.
-   * F90 library and module files are installed properly now on all supported 
-     platforms.
-
-
-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.4.0 Release
-==================================
-
-   * Fixed bug with contiguous hyperslabs not being detected, causing
-     slower I/O than necessary.
-   * Fixed bug where non-aligned hyperslab I/O on chunked datasets was
-     causing errors during I/O
-   * Implemented XML support in h5dump.
-
-
-Documentation
-=============
-   * A new document summarizing the changes in the library leading up to 
-     the current release has been added: 
-           HDF5 Software Changes from Release to Release
-     This document is in the Application Developer's Guide and is of 
-     particular interest to developers who must keep an application 
-     synchronized with the library.
-   * The documentation for the Fortran90 and C++ APIs is linked to the
-     opening page of the Reference Manual.  Fortran90 functions are 
-     individually referenced from the corresponding C functions through-
-     out the Reference Manual.
-   * User's Guide and Reference Manual were updated to reflect changed 
-     function syntax and to fix reported bugs. 
-   * Functions that are new at this release were added to the Reference 
-     Manual.  
-   * Functions that have been removed from the library were removed from 
-     the User's Guide and the Reference Manual.
-   * PostScript and PDF versions of the Release 1.4 document set are 
-     not available at the time of Release 1.4.0.

-                (4) No HDF4-related tools.
-
-
-Known Problems
-==============
-   * The stream-vfd test uses ip port 10007 for testing.  If another 
-     application is already using that port address, the test will hang 
-     indefinitely and has to be terminated by the kill command.  To try the 
-     test again, change the port address in test/stream_test.c to one not 
-     being used in the host.
-
-   * The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for Solaris
-     platforms. This is due to the fact that not all of the system
-     libraries on Solaris are available in a static format.
-
-     The --enable-static-exec configure flag also fails to correctly compile
-     on Linux platforms using the gcc-2.95.2 compiler.
-   
-     The --enable-static-exec configure flag also fails to correctly compile
-     on IBM SP2 platform for the serial mode.  The parallel mode works fine
-     with this option.
-
-     The compilation fails if configured with --enable-static-exec on IRIX 6.5.
-
-     The executable files in hdf5/bin are dynamic-linked for IRIX64 6.5(64 and
-     n32 modes) and IRIX 6.5, even though they are compiled with static library.
-  
-     It is suggested that you don't use this option on these platforms
-     during configuration.
-
-   * testhdf5 got bus error with configuration options --prefix and --with-hdf4
-     on IRIX 6.5.
-
-   * With the gcc 2.95.2 compiler, HDF 5 uses the `-ansi' flag during
-     compilation. The ANSI version of the compiler complains about not being
-     able to handle the `long long' datatype with the warning:
-
-           warning: ANSI C does not support `long long'
-  
-     This warning is innocuous and can be safely ignored.
-
-   * SunOS 5.6 with C WorkShop Compilers 4.2:  Hyperslab selections will 
-     fail if library is compiled using optimization of any level.
-
-   * When building hdf5 tools and applications on windows platform, a linking
-     warning: defaultlib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other libs will appear
-     on debug version when running VC++6.0. This warning doesn't affect building
-     and testing hdf5 applications. We will continue investigating this.
-
-   * h5toh4 converter fails two cases(tstr.h5 and tmany.h5) for release dll 
-     version on windows 2000 and NT.  The reason is possibly due to Windows NT 
-     DLL convention on freeing memory. It seems that memory cannot be freed
-     across library or DLL. It is still under investigation.
-
-   * HDF-GASS testings and testhdf5 in the test directory will get bus error if
-     the configured with --with-gass.
-
-   * HDF-SRB testing got segmentation error on Solaris 2.7.
-    
-   * The Stream VFD was not tested yet under Windows.
-     It is not supported in the TFLOPS machine.
-
-   * Shared library option is broken for IBM SP and some Origin 2000 platforms.
-     One needs to run ./configure with '--disable-shared --enable-static'.
-
-   * The ./dsets tests failed in the TFLOPS machine if the test program,
-     dsets.c, is compiled with the -O option.  The hdf5 library still works
-     correctly with the -O option.  The test program works fine if it is
-     compiled with -O1 or -O0.  Only -O (same as -O2) causes the test
-     program to fail.
-
-   * Certain platforms give false negatives when testing h5ls:
-       - Solaris x86 2.5.1, Cray T3E and Cray J90 give errors during testing
-         when displaying object references in certain files.  These are benign 
-         differences due to the difference in sizes of the objects created on
-         those platforms.  h5ls appears to be dumping object references
-         correctly.
-       - Cray J90 give errors during testing when displaying
-         some floating-point values.  These are benign differences due to the
-         different precision in the values displayed and h5ls appears to be
-         dumping floating-point numbers correctly.
-
-   * Before building HDF5 F90 Library from source on Crays (T3E and SV1) 
-     replace H5Aff.f90, H5Dff.f90 and H5Pff.f90 files in the fortran/src 
-     subdirectory in the top level directory with the Cray-specific files from 
-     the ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/hdf5-1.4.0/src/crayf90/  directory.
-
-   * The h4toh5 utility produces images that do not correctly conform
-     to the HDF5 Image and Palette Specification. 
-
-         http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/doc/ImageSpec.html
-
-     Several required HDF5 attributes are omitted, and the dataspace 
-     is reversed (i.e., the ht. and width of the image dataset is 
-     incorrectly described.)  For more information, please see:

-- Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.2.1
-- Known Problems
-- Platforms Tested

-
-Features Added since HDF5-1.2.1
-===============================
-   * Added internal free-lists to reduce memory required by the library and
-     H5garbage_collect API function.
-   * h5dump displays opaque and bitfield types.
-   * New features added to snapshots.  Use 'snapshot help' to see a
-     complete list of features.
-   * Improved configure to detect if MPIO routines are available when
-     parallel mode is requested.
-
-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.2.1
-==========================
-   * h5dump correctly displays compound datatypes, including simple and
-     nested compound types.
-   * h5dump correctly displays the committed copy of predefined types.
-   * Corrected an error in h5toh4 which did not convert the 32-bit
-     int from HDF5 to HDF4 correctly for the T3E platform.
-   * Corrected a floating point number conversion error for the
-     Cray J90 platform.  The error did not convert the value 0.0
-     correctly.
-   * Fixed error in H5Giterate which was not updating the "index" parameter
-     correctly.
-   * Fixed error in hyperslab iteration which was not walking through the
-     correct sequence of array elements if hyperslabs were staggered in a
-     certain pattern.
-   * Fixed several other problems in hyperslab iteration code.
-   * Fixed another H5Giterate bug which caused groups with large numbers
-     of objects in them to misbehave when the callback function returned
-     non-zero values.
-   * Changed return type of H5Aiterate and H5A_operator_t typedef to be
-     herr_t, to align them with the dataset and group iterator functions.
-   * Changed H5Screate_simple and H5Sset_extent_simple to not allow dimensions
-     of size 0 without the same dimension being unlimited.
-   * Improved metadata hashing & caching algorithms to avoid
-     many hash flushes and also removed some redundant I/O when moving metadata
-     blocks in the file.
-   * The libhdf5.settings file shows the correct machine byte-sex.
-   * The "struct(opt)" type conversion function which gets invoked for
-     certain compound datatype conversions was fixed for nested compound
-     types. This required a small change in the datatype conversion
-     function API.
-
-Known Problems
-==============
-
-o SunOS 5.6 with C WorkShop Compilers 4.2:  hyperslab selections will 
-  fail if library is compiled using optimization of any level.
-o TFLOPS: dsets test fails if compiled with optimization turned on.
-o J90: tools fail to dispay data for the datasets with a compound datatype.

-
-6.  Release Information for hdf5-1.2.1
-================================================================
-
-
-Bug fixes since HDF5-1.2.0
-==========================
-
-Configuration
--------------
-
-   * The hdf5.h include file was fixed to allow the HDF5 Library to be compiled
-     with other libraries/applications that use GNU autoconf. 
-   * Configuration for parallel HDF5 was improved. Configure now attempts to
-     link with libmpi.a and/or libmpio.a as the MPI libraries by default.
-     It also uses "mpirun" to launch MPI tests by default.  It tests to
-     link MPIO routines during the configuration stage, rather than failing
-     later as before.  One can just do "./configure --enable-parallel"
-     if the MPI library is in the system library.
-
-Library
--------
-
-   * Error was fixed which was not allowing dataset region references to have
-     their regions retrieved correctly.
-   * Added internal free-lists to reduce memory required by the library and
-     H5garbage_collect API function
-   * Fixed error in H5Giterate which was not updating the "index" parameter
-     correctly.
-   * Fixed error in hyperslab iteration which was not walking through the
-     correct sequence of array elements if hyperslabs were staggered in a
-     certain pattern
-   * Fixed several other problems in hyperslab iteration code.
-
-Tests
-------
-
-   * Added additional tests for group and attribute iteration.
-   * Added additional test for staggered hyperslab iteration.
-   * Added additional test for random 5-D hyperslab selection.
-
-Tools
-------
-
-   * Added an option, -V, to show the version information of h5dump.
-   * Fixed a core dumping bug of h5toh4 when executed on platforms like 
-     TFLOPS.
-   * The test script for h5toh4 used to not able to detect the hdp
-     dumper command was not valid.  It now detects and reports the
-     failure of hdp execution.
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-   * User's Guide and Reference Manual were updated. 
-     See doc/html/PSandPDF/index.html for more details.

-
-* SunOS 5.6 with C WorkShop Compilers 4.2
-  Hyperslab selections will fail if library is compiled using optimization
-  of any level.
-
- 
-C. Changes Since Version 1.0.1
-   ---------------------------
-
-1. Documentation
-   -------------
-
-* More examples
-
-* Updated user guide, reference manual, and format specification.
-
-* Self-contained documentation for installations isolated from the
-  Internet.
-
-* HDF5 Tutorial was added to the documentation  
-
-2. Configuration
-   -------------
-
-* Better detection and support for MPI-IO.
-
-* Recognition of compilers with known code generation problems.
-
-* Support for various compilers on a single architecture (e.g., the
-  native compiler and the GNU compilers).
-
-* Ability to build from read-only media and with different compilers
-  and/or options concurrently.
-
-* Added a libhdf5.settings file which summarizes the configuration
-  information and is installed along with the library.
-
-* Builds a shared library on most systems that support it.
-
-* Support for Cray T3E, J90 and Windows/NT.
-
-3. Debugging
-   ---------
-
-* Improved control and redirection of debugging and tracing messages.
-
-4. Datatypes
-   ---------
-
-* Optimizations to compound datatype conversions and I/O operations.
-
-* Added nearly 100 optimized conversion functions for native datatypes 
-  including support for non-aligned data.
-
-* Added support for bitfield, opaque, and enumeration types.
-
-* Added distinctions between signed and unsigned char types to the
-  list of predefined native hdf5 datatypes.
-
-* Added HDF5 type definitions for C9x types like int32_t.
-
-* Application-defined type conversion functions can handle non-packed
-  data.
-
-* Changed the H5Tunregister() function to use wildcards when matching
-  conversion functions.  H5Tregister_hard() and H5Tregister_soft()
-  were combined into H5Tregister().
-
-* Support for variable-length datatypes (arrays of varying length per
-  dataset element). Variable length strings currently supported only
-  as variable length arrays of 1-byte integers.
-
-5. Dataspaces
-   ----------
-
-* New query functions for selections.
-
-* I/O operations bypass the stripmining loop and go directly to
-  storage for certain contiguous selections in the absense of type
-  conversions.  In other cases the stripmining buffers are used more
-  effectively.
-
-* Reduced the number of I/O requests under certain circumstances,
-  improving performance on systems with high I/O latency.
-
-6. Persistent Pointers
-   -------------------
-
-* Object (serial and parallel) and dataset region (serial only)
-  references are implemented.
-
-7. Parallel Support
-   ----------------
-
-* Improved parallel I/O performance.
-
-* Supported new platforms: Cray T3E, Linux, DEC Cluster.
-
-* Use vendor supported version of MPIO on SGI O2K and Cray platforms.
-
-* Improved the algorithm that translates an HDF5 hyperslab selection
-  into an MPI type for better collective I/O performance.

-%%%%1.0.1%%%%   Release Information for hdf5-1.0.1
-         
-4.  Changes from Release 1.0.0 to Release 1.0.1
-=====================================================================
-
-* [Improvement]: configure sets up the Makefile in the parallel tests
-  suit (testpar/) correctly.
-
-* [Bug-Fix]: Configure failed for all IRIX versions other than 6.3.
-  It now configures correctly for all IRIX 6.x version.
-
-* Released Parallel HDF5 
-
-     Supported Features:
-     ------------------
-
-     HDF5 files are accessed according to the communicator and INFO
-     object defined in the property list set by H5Pset_mpi.
-
-     Independent read and write accesses to fixed and extendable dimension
-     datasets.
-
-     Collective read and write accesses to fixed dimension datasets.
-
-     Supported Platforms:
-     -------------------
-
-     Intel Red
-     IBM SP2
-     SGI Origin 2000
-
-     Changes In This Release: 
-     -----------------------
-
-   o Support of Access to Extendable Dimension Datasets.
-     Extendable dimension datasets must use chunked storage methods.
-     A new function, H5Dextend, is created to extend the current
-     dimensions of a dataset.  The current release requires the
-     MPI application must make a collective call to extend the
-     dimensions of an extendable dataset before writing to the
-     newly extended area.  (The serial does not require the
-     call of H5Dextend.  The dimensions of an extendable
-     dataset is increased when data is written to beyond the
-     current dimensions but within the maximum dimensions.)
-     The required collective call of H5Dextend may be relaxed
-     in future release.
-
-     This release only support independent read and write accesses
-     to extendable datasets.  Collective accesses to extendable
-     datasets will be implemented in future releases.
-
-   o Collective access to fixed dimension datasets.
-     Collective access to a dataset can be specified in the transfer
-     property list argument in H5Dread and H5Dwrite.  The current
-     release supports collective access to fixed dimension datasets.
-     Collective access to extendable datasets will be implemented in
-     future releases.
-
-   o HDF5 files are opened according to Communicator and INFO object.
-     H5Dopen now records the communicator and INFO setup by H5Pset_mmpi
-     and pass them to the corresponding MPIO open file calls for
-     processing.
-
-   o This release has been tested on IBM SP2, Intel Red and SGI Origin 2000
-     systems.  It uses the ROMIO version of MPIO interface for parallel
-     I/O supports.

-%%%%1.0.0%%%%   Release Information for hdf5-1.0.0
-
-3.  Changes from the Beta 1.0.0 Release to Release 1.0.0
-====================================================================
-
-* Added fill values for datasets.  For contiguous datasets fill value
-  performance may be quite poor since the fill value is written to the 
-  entire dataset when the dataset is created.  This will be remedied
-  in a future version.  Chunked datasets using fill values do not
-  incur any additional overhead. See H5Pset_fill_value().
-
-* Multiple hdf5 files can be "mounted" on one another to create a
-  larger virtual file. See H5Fmount().
-
-* Object names can be removed or changed but objects are never
-  actually removed from the file yet. See H5Gunlink() and H5Gmove().
-
-* Added a tuning mechanism for B-trees to insure that sequential
-  writes to chunked datasets use less overhead.  See H5Pset_btree_ratios().
-
-* Various optimizations and bug fixes.

-%%%%1.0.0 Beta%%%%   Release Information for hdf5-1.0.0 Beta
-
-2. Changes from the Second Alpha 1.0.0 Release to the Beta 1.0.0 Release
-=========================================================================
-
-* Strided hyperslab selections in dataspaces now working.
-
-* The compression API has been replaced with a more general filter
-  API.  See doc/html/Filters.html for details.
-
-* Alpha-quality 2d ragged arrays are implemented as a layer built on
-  top of other hdf5 objects.  The API and storage format will almost
-  certainly change.
-
-* More debugging support including API tracing.  See Debugging.html.
-
-* C and Fortran style 8-bit fixed-length character string types are
-  supported with space or null padding or null termination and
-  translations between them.
-
-* Added function H5Fflush() to write all cached data immediately to
-  the file.
-
-* Datasets maintain a modification time which can be retrieved with
-  H5Gstat().
-
-* The h5ls tool can display much more information, including all the
-  values of a dataset.

-
-%%%%1.0.0 Alpha 2%%%%   Release Information for hdf5-1.0.0 Alpha 2
-
-1.  Changes from the First Alpha 1.0.0 Release to 
-     the Second Alpha 1.0.0 Release
-=====================================================================
-
-* Two of the packages have been renamed.  The data space API has been
-  renamed from `H5P' to `H5S' and the property list (template) API has 
-  been renamed from `H5C' to `H5P'.
-
-* The new attribute API `H5A' has been added.  An attribute is a small 
-  dataset which can be attached to some other object (for instance, a
-  4x4 transformation matrix attached to a 3-dimensional dataset, or an 
-  English abstract attached to a group).
-
-* The error handling API `H5E' has been completed.  By default, when an
-  API function returns failure an error stack is displayed on the
-  standard error stream.  The H5Eset_auto() controls the automatic
-  printing and H5E_BEGIN_TRY/H5E_END_TRY macros can temporarily
-  disable the automatic error printing.
-
-* Support for large files and datasets (>2GB) has been added.  There
-  is an html document that describes how it works.  Some of the types
-  for function arguments have changed to support this: all arguments
-  pertaining to sizes of memory objects are `size_t' and all arguments 
-  pertaining to file sizes are `hsize_t'.
-
-* More data type conversions have been added although none of them are
-  fine tuned for performance.  There are new converters from integer
-  to integer and float to float, but not between integers and floating
-  points.  A bug has been fixed in the converter between compound
-  types.
-
-* The numbered types have been removed from the API: int8, uint8,
-  int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64, float32, and float64.
-  Use standard C types instead.  Similarly, the numbered types were
-  removed from the H5T_NATIVE_* architecture; use unnumbered types
-  which correspond to the standard C types like H5T_NATIVE_INT.
-
-* More debugging support was added.  If tracing is enabled at
-  configuration time (the default) and the HDF5_TRACE environment
-  variable is set to a file descriptor then all API calls will emit
-  the function name, argument names and values, and return value on
-  that file number.  There is an html document that describes this.
-  If appropriate debugging options are enabled at configuration time,
-  some packages will display performance information on stderr.
-
-* Data types can be stored in the file as independent objects and
-  multiple datasets can share a data type.
-
-* The raw data I/O stream has been implemented and the application can 
-  control meta and raw data caches, so I/O performance should be
-  improved from the first alpha release.
-
-* Group and attribute query functions have been implemented so it is
-  now possible to find out the contents of a file with no prior
-  knowledge.
-
-* External raw data storage allows datasets to be written by other
-  applications or I/O libraries and described and accessed through
-  HDF5.
-
-* Hard and soft (symbolic) links are implemented which allow groups to 
-  share objects. Dangling and recursive symbolic links are supported.
-
-* User-defined data compression is implemented although we may
-  generalize the interface to allow arbitrary user-defined filters
-  which can be used for compression, checksums, encryption,
-  performance monitoring, etc.  The publicly-available `deflate'
-  method is predefined if the GNU libz.a can be found at configuration 
-  time.
-
-* The configuration scripts have been modified to make it easier to
-  build debugging vs. production versions of the library.
-
-* The library automatically checks that the application was compiled
-  with the correct version of header files.
-
-
-		    Parallel HDF5 Changes
-
-* Parallel support for fixed dimension datasets with contiguous or
-  chunked storages.  Also, support unlimited dimension datasets which
-  must use chunk storage.  No parallel support for compressed datasets.
-
-* Collective data transfer for H5Dread/H5Dwrite.  Collective access
-  support for datasets with contiguous storage only, thus only fixed
-  dimension datasets for now.
-
-* H5Pset_mpi and H5Pget_mpi no longer have the access_mode
-  argument.  It is taken over by the data-transfer property list
-  of H5Dread/H5Dwrite.
-
-* New functions H5Pset_xfer and H5Pget_xfer to handle the
-  specification of independent or collective data transfer_mode
-  in the dataset transfer properties list.  The properties
-  list can be used to specify data transfer mode in the H5Dwrite
-  and H5Dread function calls.
-
-* Added parallel support for datasets with chunked storage layout.
-  When a dataset is extend in a PHDF5 file, all processes that open
-  the file must collectively call H5Dextend with identical new dimension
-  sizes.
-

-HDF5 Image and Palette Specification</h1></center>
-
-<center>
-<h3>
-<i>Version 1.2</i></h3></center>
-The HDF5 specification defines the standard objects and storage for the
-standard HDF5 objects. (For information about the HDF5 library, model and
-specification, see the HDF documentation.)&nbsp; This document is an additional
-specification do define a standard profile for how to store image data
-in HDF5. Image data in HDF5 is stored as HDF5 datasets with standard attributes
-to define the properties of the image.
-<p>This specification is primarily concerned with two dimensional raster
-data similar to HDF4 Raster Images.&nbsp; Specifications for storing other
-types of imagery will be covered in other documents.
-<p>This specification defines:
-<ul>
-<li>
-Standard storage and attributes for an Image dataset (<a href="#Sect1">Section
-1</a>)</li>
-
-<li>
-Standard storage and attributes for Palettes (<a href="#sect2">Section
-2</a>)</li>
-
-<li>
-Standard for associating Palettes with Images. (<a href="#Sect3">Section
-3</a>)</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>
-<a NAME="Sect1"></a>1. HDF5 Image Specification</h2>
-
-<h3>
-1.1 Overview</h3>
-Image data is stored as an HDF5 dataset with values of HDF5 class Integer
-or Float.&nbsp; A common example would be a two dimensional dataset, with
-elements of class Integer, e.g., a two dimensional array of unsigned 8
-bit integers.&nbsp; However, this specification does not limit the dimensions
-or number type that may be used for an Image.
-<p>The dataset for an image is distinguished from other datasets by giving
-it an attribute "CLASS=IMAGE".&nbsp; In addition, the Image dataset may
-have an optional attribute "PALETTE" that is an array of object references
-for zero or more palettes. The Image dataset may have additional attributes
-to describe the image data, as defined in <a href="#Sect1.2">Section 1.2</a>.
-<p>A Palette is an HDF5 dataset which contains color map information.&nbsp;
-A Pallet dataset has an attribute "CLASS=PALETTE" and other attributes
-indicating the type and size of the palette, as defined in <a href="#sect2">Section
-2.1</a>.&nbsp; A Palette is an independent object, which can be shared
-among several Image datasets.
-<h3>
-<a NAME="Sect1.2"></a>1.2&nbsp; Image Attributes</h3>
-The attributes for the Image are scalars unless otherwise noted.&nbsp;
-The length of String valued attributes should be at least the number of
-characters. Optionally, String valued attributes may be stored in a String
-longer than the minimum, in which case it must be zero terminated or null
-padded.&nbsp; "Required" attributes must always be used. "Optional" attributes
-must be used when required.
-<br>&nbsp;
-<h4>
-Attributes</h4>
-
-<dl>
-<dt>
-Attribute name="<b>CLASS</b>" (Required)</dt>
-
-<dd>
-This attribute is type H5T_C_S1, with size 5.</dd>
-
-<dd>
-For all Images, the value of this attribute is "IMAGE".</dd>
-
-<dd>
-</dd>
-
-<dd>
-This attribute identifies this data set as intended to be interpreted as
-an image that conforms to the specifications on this page.</dd>
-</dl>
-
-<dt>
-Attribute name="<b>PALETTE</b>"</dt>
-
-<dl>
-<dd>
-A Image dataset within an HDF5 file may optionally specify an array of
-palettes to be viewed with. The dataset will have an attribute field called
-"<b>PALETTE</b>" which contains a one-dimensional array of object reference
-pointers (HDF5 datatype H5T_STD_REF_OBJ) which refer to palettes in the
-file. The palette datasets must conform to the Palette specification in
-<a href="#sect2">section
-2 below</a>. The first palette in this array will be the default palette
-that the data may be viewed with.</dd>

-
-<dt>
-Attribute name="<b>IMAGE_SUBCLASS</b>"</dt>
-
-<dd>
-If present, the value of this attribute indicates the type of Palette that
-should be used with the Image.&nbsp; This attribute is a scalar of type
-H5T_C_S1, with size according to the string plus one.&nbsp; The values
-are:</dd>

-<a NAME="Section1.3"></a>1.3 Storage Layout and Properties for Images</h3>
-In the case of an image with more than one component per pixel (e.g., Red,
-Green, and Blue), the data may be arranged in one of two ways.&nbsp; Following
-HDF4 terminology, the data may be interlaced by pixel or by plane, which
-should be indicated by the INTERLACE_MODE&nbsp; attribute.&nbsp; In both
-cases, the dataset will have a dataspace with three dimensions, height,
-width, and components.&nbsp; The interlace modes specify different orders
-for the dimensions.
-<br>&nbsp;
-<table BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH="100%" >

-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<p>For example, consider a 5 (rows) by 10 (column) image, with Red, Green,
-and Blue components.&nbsp; Each component is an unsigned byte. In HDF5,
-the datatype would be declared as an unsigned 8 bit integer.&nbsp; For
-pixel interlace, the dataspace would be a three dimensional array, with
-dimensions: [10][5][3].&nbsp; For plane interleave, the dataspace would
-be three dimensions: [3][10][5].
-<p>In the case of images with only one component, the dataspace may be
-either a two dimensional array, or a three dimensional array with the third
-dimension of size 1.&nbsp; For example, a 5 by 10 image with 8 bit color
-indexes would be an HDF5 dataset with type unsigned 8 bit integer.&nbsp;
-The dataspace could be either a two dimensional array, with dimensions
-[10][5], or three dimensions, with dimensions either [10][5][1] or [1][10][5].
-<p>Image datasets may be stored with any chunking or compression properties
-supported by HDF5.
-<p><b>A note concerning compatibility with HDF5 GR interface: </b>An Image
-dataset is stored as an HDF5 dataset.&nbsp; It is important to note that
-the order of the dimensions is the same as for any other HDF5 dataset.&nbsp;
-For a two dimensional image that is to be stored as a series of horizontal
-scan lines, with the scan lines contiguous (i.e., the fastest changing
-dimension is 'width'), the image will have a dataspace with <i>dim[0] =
-height</i> and <i>dim[1]</i> = <i>width</i>.&nbsp; This is completely consistent
-with all other HDF5 datasets.
-<p>Users familiar with HDF4 should be cautioned that <i>this is not the
-same as HDF4</i>, and specifically is not consistent with what the HDF4
-GR interface does.

-<h2>
-<a NAME="sect2"></a>2.&nbsp; HDF5 Palette Specification</h2>
-
-<h3>
-2.1 Overview</h3>
-A palette is the means by which color is applied to an image and is also
-referred to as a color lookup table. It is a table in which every row contains
-the numerical representation of a particular color. In the example of an
-8 bit standard RGB color model palette, this numerical representation of
-a color is presented as a triplet specifying the intensity of red, green,
-and blue components that make up each color.
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="Palettes.fm.anc.gif" ></center>
-
-<p>In this example, the color component numeric type is an 8 bit unsigned
-integer. While this is most common and recommended for general use, other
-component color numeric datatypes, such as a 16 bit unsigned integer ,
-may be used. This type is specified as the type attribute of the palette
-dataset. (see H5Tget_type(), H5Tset_type())
-<p>The minimum and maximum values of the component color numeric are specified
-as attribute of the palette dataset. See below (attribute PAL_MINMAXNUMERIC).
-If these attributes do not exist, it is assumed that the range of values
-will fill the space of the color numeric type. i.e. with an 8 bit unsigned
-integer, the valid range would be 0 to 255 for each color component.
-<p>The HDF5 palette specification additionally allows for color models
-beyond RGB. YUV, HSV, CMY, CMYK, YCbCr color models are supported, and
-may be specified as a color model attribute of the palette dataset. <i>(see
-"Palette Attributes" for details)</i>.
-<p>In HDF 4 and earlier, palettes were limited to 256 colors. The HDF5
-palette specification allows for palettes of varying length. The length
-is specified as the number of rows of the palette dataset.
-<br>&nbsp;
-<br>&nbsp;
-<table BORDER COLS=1 WIDTH="100%" BGCOLOR="#666666" >
-<tr>
-<td><font color="#FFFFFF">Important Note: The specification of the Indexed
-Palette will change substantially in the next version.&nbsp; The Palette
-described here is <i>denigrated</i> and is not supported.</font></td>
-</tr>
-</table>
-
-<br>&nbsp;
-<table BORDER COLS=1 WIDTH="100%" BGCOLOR="#CCCCCC" >
-<tr>
-<td><i>Denigrated</i>
-<p>In a standard palette, the color entries are indexed directly. HDF5
-supports the notion of a range index table. Such a table defines an ascending
-ordered list of ranges that map dataset values to the palette. If a range
-index table exists for the palette, the PAL_TYPE attribute will be set
-to "RANGEINDEX", and the PAL_RANGEINDEX attribute will contain an object
-reference to a range index table array. If not, the PAL_TYPE attribute
-either does not exist, or will be set to "STANDARD".
-<p>The range index table array consists of a one dimensional array with
-the same length as the palette dataset - 1. Ideally, the range index would
-be of the same type as the dataset it refers to, however this is not a
-requirement.
-<p><b>Example 2: A range index array of type floating point</b>
-<center>
-<p><img SRC="PaletteExample1.gif" ></center>
-
-<p>The range index array attribute defines the "<i>to</i>" of the range.
-Notice that the range index array attribute is one less entry in size than
-the palette. The first entry of 0.1259, specifies that all values below
-and up to 0.1259 inclusive, will map to the first palette entry. The second
-entry signifies that all values greater than 0.1259 up to 0.3278 inclusive,
-will map to the second palette entry, etc. All value greater than the last
-range index array attribute (100000) map to the last entry in the palette.</td>

-<h3>
-2.3. Storage Layout for Palettes</h3>
-The values of the Palette are stored as a dataset.&nbsp; The datatype can
-be any HDF 5 atomic numeric type.&nbsp; The dataset will have dimensions
-(<tt>nentries</tt>&nbsp; by&nbsp; <tt>ncomponents</tt>), where '<tt>nentries</tt>'
-is the number of colors (usually 256) and '<tt>ncomponents'</tt> is the
-number of values per color (3 for <b>RGB</b>, 4 for <b>CMYK</b>, etc.)
-<br>&nbsp;
-<h2>
-<a NAME="Sect3"></a>3.&nbsp; Consistency and Correlation of Image and Palette
-Attributes</h2>
-The objects in this specification are an extension to the base HDF5 specification
-and library.&nbsp; They are accessible with the standard HDF5 library,
-but the semantics of the objects are not enforced by the base library.&nbsp;
-For example, it is perfectly possible to add an attribute called <b>IMAGE</b>
-to <i>any</i> dataset, or to include an object reference to <i>any</i>
-HDF5 dataset in a <b>PALETTE</b> attribute.&nbsp; This would be a valid
-HDF5 file, but not conformant to this specification.&nbsp; The rules defined
-in this specification must be implemented with appropriate software, and
-applications must use conforming software to assure correctness.
-<p>The Image and Palette specifications include several redundant standard
-attributes, such as the <b>IMAGE_COLORMODEL</b> and the <b>PAL_COLORMODEL</b>.&nbsp;
-These attributes are informative not normative, in that it is acceptable
-to attach a Palette to an Image dataset even if their attributes do not
-match.&nbsp; Software is not required to enforce consistency, and files
-may contain mismatched associations of Images and Palettes.&nbsp; In all
-cases, it is up to applications to determine what kinds of images and color
-models can be supported.
-<p>For example, an Image that was created from a file with an "RGB" may
-have a "YUV" Palette in its <b>PALETTE</b> attribute array.&nbsp; This
-would be a legal HDF5 file and also conforms to this specification, although
-it may or may not be correct for a given application.</p>

-HDF5 version 1.7.48 released on Mon Jul 18 16:18:26 CDT 2005
-================================================================================
-
-

-CONTENTS
-
-- New Features
-- Support for new platforms and languages
-- Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.6.0
-- Platforms Tested
-- Known Problems
-
-
-New Features
-============
-
-    Configuration:
-    --------------
-	- When make is invoked in parallel (using -j), sequential tests
-	  are now executed simultaneously.  This should make them execute
-	  more quickly on some machines.
-	  Also, when tests pass, they will create a foo.chkexe file.
-	  This prevents the test from executing again until the test or
-	  main library changes.
-        - On windows, all.zip is deprecated. users should
-             read INSTALL_Windows.txt to know the details.
-             Reasons to deprecate all.zip:
-		1. Avoid confliction for windows programmers
-                2. Decrease size of CVS tree by adding all.zip
-	        3. Avoid using winzip as the intermediate step
-             --KY 2005/04/22
-	- When HDF5 is created as a shared library, it now uses libtool's
-	  shared library versioning scheme. -JML 2005/04/18
-	- HDF5 now uses automake 1.9.5 to generate Makefiles.in.
-	  This has a number of effects on users:
-          The Fortran compiler should be set using the environment
-          variable $FC, not $F9X.  F9X still works, but is depreciated.
-	  The output of make may be different.  This should be only a
-          cosmetic effect.
-	  make depened (or make dep) is no longer recognized, since automake
-	  handles dependency tracking.
-	  Some new configure options exist.  --enable-dependency-tracking
-          and --disable-dependency-tracking are used to control automake's
-	  dependency tracking.  Dependencies are on by default *on most
-	  platforms and compilers*.  If --enable-dependency-tracking is
-	  used, they will be enabled on any platform.  However, this can
-	  slow down builds or even cause build errors in some cases.
-	  Likewise, --disable-dependency-tracking can speed up builds and
-	  avoid some build errors.
-	  Some make targets have alternate names.  make check-install and
-	  make installcheck do the same thing, for instance.
-	  pmake on IRIX can be invoked from the root directory, but the
-	  -V flag must be used to invoke it in any subdirectory or it
-	  will give an error about undefined variables.
-	  JML 2005/01 - 2005/03
-        - Hardware conversion between long double and integers is also added.
-          SLU 2005/02/10
-        - Started to support software conversion between long double and 
-          integers.  Hardware conversion will come very soon.  SLU - 2005/1/6
-	- Intel v8.0 compiler would infinite loop when compiling some test
-	  code with -O3 option.  Changed enable-production default compiler
-	  option to -O2. AKC - 2004/12/06
-	- Long double is assumed to be a supported C data type.  It is a
-	  stanadard C89 type. AKC - 2004/10/22
-	- The IA64 will use ecc as the C++ compiler by default.
-        - Added some initial support for making purify (or similar memory
-            checking products) happier by initializing buffers to zero and
-            disabling the internal free list code.  To take advantage of this,
-            define 'H5_USING_PURIFY' in your CFLAGS when building the library.
-            QAK - 2004/07/23
-        - Fixed the long compile time of H5detect.c when v7.x Intel Compiler
-	    is used with optimization NOT off.  AKC - 2004/05/20
-	- Fixed configure setting of C++ for OSF1 platform. AKC - 2004/01/06
-        - Prefix default is changed from /usr/local to `pwd`/hdf5.
-            AKC - 2003/07/09
-
-    Library:
-    --------
-       - Added H5F_OBJ_LOCAL flag to H5Fget_obj_count() & H5Fget_obj_ids(), to
-          allow querying for objects in file that were opened with a particular
-          file ID, instead of all objects opened in file with any file ID.
-          QAK - 2005/06/01
-       - Added H5T_CSET_UTF8 character set to mark datatypes that use the
-          UTF-8 Unicode character encoding.  Added tests to ensure that
-          library handles UTF-8 object names, attributes, etc. -JL 2005/05/13
-       - HDF5 supports collective MPI-IO for irregular selection with HDF5
-          dataset. Irregular selection is when users use H5Sselect_hyperslab
-          more than once for the same dataset.
-          Currently, not all MPI-IO packages support complicated MPI derived
-                     datatype used in the implementation of irregular
-                     selection INSIDE HDF5. 
-                     1) DEC 5.x is not supporting complicated derived datatype.
-                     2) For AIX 5.1 32-bit,
-                     if your poe version number is 3.2.0.19 or lower,
-                     please edit powerpc-ibm-aix5.x under hdf5/config,
-                     Find the line with
-                            << hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works>>
-                     and UNCOMMENT this line before the configure.
-                     check poe version with the following command:
-                     lpp -l all | grep ppe.poe
-                     For AIX 5.1 64-bit,
-                     regardless of poe version number, please UNCOMMENT
-                      << hdf5_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works>> under hdf5/config.
-                      We suspect there are some problems  for MPI-IO implementation
-                      for 64-bit.
-                     3) For Linux cluster, 
-                        if mpich version is 1.2.5 or lower, collective irregular selection
-                        IO is not supported, internally independent IO is used.
-                     4) For IRIX 6.5,
-                        if C compiler version is 7.3 or lower, collective irregular selection
-                        IO is not supported, internally independent IO is used.
-                     KY - 2005/07/13
-        - HDF5 N-bit filter 
-          HDF5 support N-bit filter from this version,  
-          The N-Bit filter is used effectively for compressing data of N-Bit
-          datatype as well as compound and array datatype with N-Bit fields. 
-          KY - 2005/04/15
-        - HDF5 scaleoffset filter
-          HDF5 supports scaleoffset filter for users to do data
-          compression through HDF5 library. 
-          Scale-Offset compression performs a scale and/or offset operation
-          on each data value and truncates the resulting value to a minimum 
-          number of bits and then stores the data.
-          Scaleoffset filter supports floating-point and integer datatype.
-          Please check the HDF5 reference manual for this.
-          KY - 2005/06/06
-        - Retired SRB vfd (--with-srb). Functions H5Pset_fapl_srb and
-          H5Pget_fapl_srb were removed.  EIP - 2005/04/07
-	- Retired GASS vfd (--with-gass).  Functions H5Pset_fapl_gass and
-	  H5Pget_fapl_gass are removed too.  AKC - 2005/3/3
-        - Pablo was removed from the source code EIP - 2005/01/21
-        - Modified registration of SZIP to dynamically detect the presence
-            or absence of the encoder.  Changed configure and Makefiles,
-            and tests to dynamically detect encoder. BEM - 2004/11/02
-	- Added function H5Pget_data_transform, together with the previously
-	    added H5Pset_data_transform, to support the data transform
-	    feature. AKC - 2004/10/26
-        - Compound datatype has been enhanced with a new feature of size 
-            adjustment.  The size can be increased and decreased(without
-            cutting the last member) as long as it doesn't go down to zero.  
-            No API change is involved.  SLU - 2004/10/1
-        - Put back 6 old error API functions to be backward compatible with
-            version 1.6.  They are H5Epush, H5Eprint, H5Ewalk, H5Eclear,
-            H5Eset_auto, H5Eget_auto.  Their new equivalent functions are
-            called H5Epush_stack, H5Eprint_stack, H5Ewalk_stack,
-            H5Eclear_stack, H5Eset_auto_stack, H5Eget_auto_stack.  SLU -
-            2004/9/2
-        - 4 new API functions, H5Tencode, H5Tdecode, H5Sencode, H5Sdecode were
-            added to the library.  Given object ID, these functions encode and 
-            decode HDF5 objects(data type and space) information into and from 
-            binary buffer.        SLU - 2004/07/21
-        - Modified the way how HDF5 calculates 'pixels_per_scanline' parameter for 
-            SZIP compression. Now there is no restriction on the size and shape of the
-            chunk except that the total number of elements in the chunk cannot be 
-            bigger than 'pixels_per_block' parameter provided by the user.  
-                                                                     EIP - 2004/07/21  
-        - Added support for SZIP without encoder.  Added H5Zget_filter_info
-            and changed H5Pget_filter and H5Pget_filter_by_id to support this
-            change.  JL/NF - 2004/06/30
-        - SZIP always uses K13 compression.  This flag no longer needs to
-            be set when calling H5Pset_szip.  If the flag for CHIP
-            compression is set, it will be ignored (since the two are mutually
-            exclusive).  JL/NF - 2004/6/30
-        - A new API function H5Fget_name was added.  It returns the name
-            of the file by object(file, group, data set, named data type,
-            attribute) ID.  SLU - 2004/06/29
-        - Added support for user defined identifier types.  NF/JL - 2004/06/29
-        - A new API function H5Fget_filesize was added.  It returns the
-            actual file size of the opened file.  SLU - 2004/06/24
-	- New Feature of Data transformation is added.  AKC - 2004/05/03.
-        - New exception handler for datatype conversion is put in to 
-            replace the old overflow callback function.  This exception
-            handler is set through H5Pset_type_conv_cb function.
-            SLU - 2004/4/27
-        - Added option that if $HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK is set to 2,
-	    will suppress all library version mismatch warning messages.
-	    AKC - 2004/4/14
-	- A new type of dataspace, null dataspace(dataspace without any 
-            element) was added.  SLU - 2004/3/24
-        - Data type conversion(software) from integer to float was added.
-            SLU - 2004/3/13 
-        - Data type conversion(software) from float to integer was added.
-            Conversion from integer to float will be added later.  
-            SLU -2004/2/4
-        - Added new H5Premove_filter routine to remove I/O pipeline filters
-            from dataset creation property lists.  PVN - 2004/01/26
-        - Added new 'compare' callback parameter to H5Pregister & H5Pinsert
-            routines.  QAK - 2004/01/07
-        - Data type conversion(hardware) between integers and floats was added.
-            SLU 2003/11/21
-        - New function H5Iget_file_id() was added.  It returns file ID given
-            an object(dataset, group, or attribute) ID.  SLU 2003/10/29
-        - Added new fields to the H5G_stat_t for more information about an
-            object's object header.  QAK 2003/10/06
-        - Added new H5Fget_freespace() routine to query the free space in a
-            given file.  QAK 2003/10/06
-        - Added backward compatability with v1.6 for new Error API. SLU - 
-            2003/09/24
-        - Changed 'objno' field in H5G_stat_t structure from 'unsigned long[2]'
-            to 'haddr_t'.  QAK - 2003/08/08
-        - Changed 'fileno' field in H5G_stat_t structure from 'unsigned long[2]'
-            to 'unsigned long'.  QAK - 2003/08/08
-        - Changed 'hobj_ref_t' type from structure with array field to 'haddr_t'.
-            QAK - 2003/08/08
-        - Object references (hobj_ref_t) can now be compared with the 'objno'
-            field in the H5G_stat_t struct for testing if two objects are the
-            same within a file.  QAK - 2003/08/08
-        - Switched over to new error API. SLU - 2003/07/25
-
-    Parallel Library:
-    -----------------
-        - Allow compressed, chunked datasets to be read in parallel.
-            QAK - 2004/10/04
-        - Add options of using atomicity and file-sync to test_mpio_1wMr.
-            AKC - 2003/11/13
-        - Added parallel test, test_mpio_1wMr, which tests if the
-            underlaying parallel I/O system is conforming to the POSIX
-            write/read requirement.  AKC - 2003/11/12
-
-    Fortran Library:
-    ----------------
-         - added missing h5tget_member_class_f function
-                                                 EIP 2005/04/06         
-         - added new functions h5fget_name_f and h5fget_filesize_f 
-                                                 EIP 2004/07/08
-         - h5dwrite/read_f and h5awrite/read_f functions only accept dims parameter
-            of the type INTEGER(HSIZE_T).
-         - added support for native integers of 8 bytes (i.e. when special
-           compiler flag is specified to set native fortran integers to 8 bytes,
-           for example, -i8 flag for PGI and Absoft Fortran compilers, 
-           -qintsize=8 flag for IBM xlf compiler).
-                                                 EIP 2005/06/20
-
-
-    Tools:
-    ------
-        - new tool, h5jam. See reference manual.  2004/10/08
-        - h5repack.sh did not report errors encountered during tests.  It does
-            now.  AKC - 2004/04/02
-        - Added the MPI-I/O and MPI-POSIX drivers to the list of VFL drivers
-            available for h5dump and h5ls.  RPM & QAK - 2004/02/01

-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.6.0 release
-==================================
-
-    Library
-    -------
-        - More bug fixes on holding open files that are mounted and have
-            IDs open.  QAK - 2005/07/14
-        - Don't unmount child files until the parent file actually closes.
-            (Previously, if an object is holding open a file, the child files
-            would get unmounted too early).  QAK - 2005/07/05
-        - Fixed bug where unmounted files could cause the library to go into
-            an infinite loop when shutting down.  QAK - 2005/06/30
-        - The library didn't save the information of family driver in file.
-          The original file member size was lost after file was closed (see
-          bug #213).  This has been fixed by saving driver name and member
-          file size in the superblock.  SLU - 2005/6/24
-        - Fixed bug with hyperslab selections that use selection offsets and
-            operate on chunked datasets going into infinite loop or dumping
-            core.  QAK - 2005/06/17
-        - Corrected memory leak and possible corruption when opening a group.
-            QAK - 2005/06/17
-        - Added check for opaque datatype tags being too long (check against
-            H5T_OPAQUE_TAG_MAX, currently set to 256).  QAK - 2005/06/14
-        - Fixed various errors in maintaining names for open objects in the
-            face of unusual mount & unmount operations.  QAK - 2005/06/08
-        - "SEMI" and "STRONG" file close degree settings now apply only to the
-            particular file ID being closed, instead of operating on all open
-            file IDs for a given file.  QAK - 2005/06/01
-        - For family driver, the library didn't save member size in file.
-          When file is reopened, the size of 1st member file determine the 
-          member size.  Now member size is saved in file and is used to 
-          define member file size.  Wrong file access property of member size
-          will result in a failure.  Using any other driver except family 
-          will cause library to return error.  So is multi driver. SLU - 
-          2005/05/24  
-        - Fixed error in opening object in group that was opened in mounted
-          file which has been unmounted.  QAK - 2005/03/17
-        - Fixed a racing condition in MPIPOSIX virtual file drive close
-	  function.  Now all processes must completed the close before any
-	  of them is returned.  This prevents some "faster" processes start
-	  accessing the file for another purpose (e.g., open with truncate)
-	  while other "slower" processes have not closed the same file with
-	  the previous purpose.  AKC - 2005/03/01
-        - H5Tget_member_value calls for enum datatype didn't return correct 
-            value if H5Tenum_valueof was called first.  It's fixed.  SLU - 
-            2005/02/08
-        - For variable-length string, H5Tget_class returned H5T_STRING as its
-            class.  But H5Tdetect_class and H5Tget_member_class considered it
-            as H5T_VLEN.  This is fixed to let all these 3 functions treat it
-            as H5T_STRING.  SLU - 2005/02/08
-        - The byte order of 1-byte integer types was fixed as little endian
-            even on a big-endian machine.  This has been corrected.  SLU -
-            2005/02/07 
-        - Fix segmentation fault when calling H5Fflush with an attribute that
-            hasn't had a value written to it open.  QAK - 2004/10/18
-        - Back up supporting bitfield and time types in H5Tget_native_type.  
-            Leave it to future support.  The function simply returns error 
-            message of "not support" for bitfield and time types.  
-            SLU - 2004/10/5
-        - Fixed address check in Core VFL driver to avoid spurious address/size
-            overflows for odd valued addresses and/or sizes.  QAK - 2004/09/27
-	- Fixed parallel bug in which some processes attempted collective
-	    I/O while others did independent I/O.  Bug appeared when some
-	    processes used point selections, and others didn't.  JRM - 2004/9/15
-        - Corrected error where dataset region references were written in an
-            incorrect way on Cray machines.  PVN & QAK - 2004/09/13
-        - The H5Tget_native_type now determines the native type for integers 
-	    based on the precision. This is to avoid cases of wrongly converting 
-            an int to a short in machines that have a short of 8 bytes but with 
-	    32bit precision (e.g Cray SV1). PVN - 2004/09/07  
-        - Changed H5Dread() to not overwrite data in an application's buffer
-            with garbage when accessing a chunked dataset with an undefined
-            fill value and an unwritten chunk is uncountered.  QAK - 2004/08/25
-        - Fixed error which could cause a core dump when a type conversion
-            routine was registered after a compound datatype had been
-            converted and then an equivalment compound datatype was converted
-            again.  QAK - 2004/08/07
-        - Fixed memory overwrite when encoding "multi" file driver information
-            for file's superblock.  QAK - 2004/08/05
-        - Fixed obscure bug where a filter which failed during chunk allocation
-            could allow library to write uncompressed data to disk but think
-            the data was compressed.  QAK - 2004/07/29
-        - Fixed bug where I/O to an extendible chunked dataset with zero-sized
-            dimensions would cause library to fail an assertion.
-            QAK - 2004/07/27
-        - Fixed bug where chunked datasets which have filters defined,
-            allocation time set to "late" and whose chunks don't align with
-            the dataspace bounds could have incorrect data stored when
-            overwriting the entire dataset on the first write.  QAK - 2004/07/27
-        - Added check to ensure that dataspaces have extents set. JML-2004/07/26
-        - Fixed bug on some Solaris systems where HDF5 would try to use
-            gettimeofday() when that function didn't work properly.
-            JML - 2004/07/23
-        - Fixed bug in H5Sset_extent_simple where setting maximum size to
-            non-zero, then to zero would cause an error.  JML - 2004/07/20
-        - Allow NULL pointer for buffer parameter to H5Dread & H5Dwrite
-            when not writing data ("none" selection or hyperslab or point
-            selection with no elements defined).  QAK - 2004/07/20
-        - Calling H5Gcreate() on "/" or "." throws an error instead of
-            failing quietly. JML - 2004/07/19
-        - Fixed bug where setting file address size to be very small could
-            trigger an assert if the file grew to more than 64 KB.  Now throws
-            an error and data can be recovered. JL/NF - 2004/07/14
-        - Fixed bug where "resurrecting" a dataset was failing.
-            QAK - 2004/07/14
-        - Fixed bug where incorrect data could be read from a chunked dataset
-            after it was extended.  QAK - 2004/07/12
-        - Fixed failure to read data back from file of compound type with
-            variable-length string as field.  SLU - 2004/06/10
-        - Fixed potential file corruption bug when a block of metadata could
-            overlap the end of the internal metadata accumulator buffer and
-            the buffer would be extended correctly, but would incorrectly 
-            change it's starting address.  QAK - 2004/06/09
-        - Opaque datatype with no tag failed for some operations.  Fixed.
-            SLU - 2004/6/3 
-        - Fixed potential file corruption bug where dimensions that were
-            too large (a value greater than could be represented in 32-bits)
-            could cause the incorrect amount of space to be allocated in a
-            file for the raw data for the dataset.  QAK - 2004/06/01
-	- Fixed dtypes "sw long double -> double" failure in QSC class
-            machines.  AKC - 2004/4/16

-	    endianess. PVN - 2004/03/10
-        - Fixed problem with H5Tget_native_type() not handling opaque fields
-            correctly.  QAK - 2004/01/31
-        - Fixed several errors in B-tree deletion code which could cause a
-            B-tree (used with groups and chunked datasets) to become corrupt
-            with the right sequence of deleted objects.  QAK - 2004/01/19
-        - Fixed small internal memory leaks of fill-value information.
-            QAK - 2004/01/13
-        - Fixed bug that caused variable-length datatypes (strings or sequences)
-            used for datasets in files with objects that were unlinked to
-            fail to be read/written to a file.  QAK - 2004/01/13
-        - Detect situation where szip 'pixels per block' is larger than the
-            fastest changing dimension of a dataset's chunk size and disallow
-            this (due to limits in szip library).  QAK - 2003/12/31
-        - Fixed bug with flattened hyperslab selections that would generate
-            incorrect hyperslab information with certain high-dimensionality
-            combinations of start/stride/count/block information.
-            QAK - 2003/12/31
-        - Fixed bug with variable-length datatypes used in compound datatypes.
-            SLU - 2003/12/29
-        - Fixed bug in parallel I/O routines that would cause reads from
-            "short datasets" (datasets which were only partially written out)
-            to return invalid data.  QAK & AKC - 2003/12/19
-        - Fixed bug where scalar dataspaces for attributes were reporting as
-            simple dataspaces.  QAK - 2003/12/13
-        - Fixed problem with selection offsets of hyperslab selections in
-            chunked datasets causing the library to go into an infinite loop.
-            QAK - 2003/12/13
-        - Fixed H5Giterate to avoid re-using index parameter after iteration
-            callback has been called (allows iteration callback to modify the
-            index parameter itself).  QAK - 2003/12/06
-        - Fixed various floating-point conversion problems, including a
-            change which could corrupt data when converting from double->float.
-            QAK - 2003/11/24
-        - Changed "single process" metadata writing in library to collective
-            I/O by all processes, in order to guarantee correct data being
-            written with MPI-I/O.  QAK - 2003/11/20
-        - Fixed problems with fill values and variable-length types and also
-            I/O on VL values that were set to NULL.  QAK - 2003/11/08
-        - Fixed problems with MPI datatypes that caused ASCI Q machine to
-            hang.  QAK - 2003/10/28
-        - Removed HDF5_MPI_PREFER_DERIVED_TYPES environment variable support,
-            since it had no benefit.  QAK - 2003/10/28
-        - Single hyperslab selections (which were set with only one call to
-            H5Sselect_hyperslab) that had dimensions that could be "flattened"
-            but were interspersed with dimensions that could not be flattened
-            were not correctly handled, causing core dumps.  QAK - 2003/10/25
-        - Fixed incorrect datatype of the third parameter to the Fortran90
-            h5pset(get)_cache_f subroutine (INTEGER to INTEGER(SIZE_T)) 
-            EIP - 2003/10/13
-        - Fixed problems with accessing variable-length data datatypes on

-        - Fixed potential file corruption bug when too many object header
-            messages (probably attributes, from a user perspective) were
-            inserted into an object header and certain other conditions were
-            met.  QAK - 2003/10/08
-        - Changed implementation of internal ID searching algorithm to avoid
-            O(n) behavior for many common cases.  QAK - 2003/10/06
-        - Allow partial parallel writing to compact datasets.  QAK - 2003/10/06
-        - Correctly create reference to shared datatype in attribute, instead
-            of making a copy of the shared datatype in the attribute.
-            QAK - 2003/10/01
-        - Revert changes which caused files >2GB to fail when created with
-            MPI-I/O file driver on certain platforms.  QAK - 2003/09/16
-        - Allow compound datatypes to grow in size.  SLU - 2003/09/10
-        - Detect if a type is already packed before attempting to pack it
-            again or check if it is locked.  SLU - 2003/09/10
-        - Corrected bug when opening a file twice with read-only permission
-            for one open and then closing the read-only access file ID would
-            generate an error.  QAK - 2003/09/10
-        - Corrected bug in repeated calls to H5Pget_access_plist() which would
-            incorrectly manage reference counts of internal information and
-            eventually blow up.  QAK - 2003/09/02
-        - Return rank of the array datatype on successful call to
-            H5Tget_array_dims().  QAK - 2003/08/30
-        - Corrected bug in H5Tdetect_class which was not correctly detecting
-            datatype classes of fields in nested compound datatypes in some
-            circumstances.  QAK - 2003/08/30
-        - Corrected bug in sieve buffer code which could cause loss of data
-            when a small dataset was created and deleted in quick succession.
-            QAK - 2003/08/27
-        - Corrected bug in H5Gget_objname_by_idx which was not allowing NULL
-            for the name when just querying for the object name's length.
-            QAK - 2003/08/25
-        - Corrected bug in variable-length string handling which could
-            generate a core dump on writing variable-length strings as part
-            of a compound datatype on certain architectures.  QAK - 2003/08/25
-        - Corrected bug in H5Tget_native_type which would incorrectly compute
-            the size of certain compound datatypes and also incorrectly
-            compute the offset of the last field for those compound datatypes.
-            QAK - 2003/08/25
-        - Corrected bug in H5Tget_native_type which would drop string datatype
-            metadata (padding, etc.)  QAK - 2003/08/25
-        - Corrected bugs in H5Gget_num_objs, H5Gget_objname_by_idx and
-            H5Gget_objtype_by_idx to allow them to accept location IDs, not just
-            group IDs.  QAK - 2003/08/21
-        - Corrected bug when using scalar dataspace for memory selection and
-            operating on chunked dataset.  QAK - 2003/08/18
-        - Corrected bugs with multiple '/' characters in names for H5Glink
-            and H5Gunlink.  QAK - 2003/08/16
-        - Corrected bug with user blocks that didn't allow a user block to
-            be inserted in front of a file after the file was created.
-            QAK - 2003/08/13
-        - Corrected errors with using point selections to access data in
-            chunked datasets.  QAK - 2003/07/23
-        - Corrected error with variable-length datatypes and chunked datasets
-            caused H5Dwrite to fail sometimes.  QAK - 2003/07/19
-        - Modified library and file format to support storing indexed storage
-            (chunked dataset) B-tree's with non-default internal 'K' values.
-            QAK - 2003/07/15
-        - Returned H5T_BKG_TEMP support to library after it was accidentally
-            removed.  QAK - 2003/07/14
-
-    Configuration
-    -------------
-        - Parallel I/O with the MPI-I/O driver will no longer work if the
-            filesystem is not POSIX compliant.  The "HDF5_MPI_1_METAWRITE"
-            environment variable has been removed.  QAK - 2004/01/30
-        - Fixed the error that cause "make install" to fail because of the
-            macro definition syntax of "prefix?=..."  AKC - 2003/07/22
-
-    Performance
-    -------------
-        - Optimized I/O for enumerated datatypes that are a superset of source
-            enumerated datatype.  QAK - 2005/03/19
-        - More optimizations to inner loops of datatype conversions for
-            integers and floats which give a 10-50% speedup.  QAK - 2003/11/07
-        - Hoisted invariant 'if/else's out of inner datatype conversion loop for
-            integer and floating-point values, giving about a 20% speedup.
-            QAK - 2003/10/20

-Known Problems
-==============
-* The dataset created or rewritten with the v1.6.3 library or after can't 
-  be read with the v1.6.2 library or before when Fletcher32 EDC(filter) is 
-  enabled.  There was a bug in the calculating code of the Fletcher32 
-  checksum in the library before v1.6.3.  The checksum value wasn't consistent 
-  between big-endian and little-endian systems.  This bug was fixed in 
-  Release 1.6.3.  However, after fixing the bug, the checksum value is no 
-  longer the same as before on little-endian system.  The library release 
-  after 1.6.4 can still read the dataset created or rewritten with the library
-  of v1.6.2 or before.  SLU - 2005/6/30
-* For the version 6(6.02 and 6.04) of Portland Group compiler on AMD Opteron
-  processor, there's a bug in the compiler for optimization(-O2).  The library
-  failed in several tests but all related to multi driver.  The problem has 
-  been reported to the vendor.  
-* On windows XP, Fortran DLLs are not working with DEC Fortran 6.6c and Intel
-  8.1.
-* On IBM AIX systems, parallel HDF5 mode will fail some tests with error
-  messages like "INFO: 0031-XXX ...".  This is from the command poe.
-  Set the environment variable MP_INFOLEVEL to 0 to minimize the messages
-  and run the tests again.
-  The tests may fail with messages like "The socket name is already
-  in use".  HDF5 does not use sockets (except for stream-VFD).  This is
-  due to problems of the poe command trying to set up the debug socket.
-  Check if there are many old /tmp/s.pedb.* staying around.  These are
-  sockets used by the poe command and left behind due to failed commands.
-  Ask your system administrator to clean them out.  Lastly, request IBM
-  to provide a mean to run poe without the debug socket.
-
-* The C++ library's tests fails when compiling with PGI C++ compiler.  The
-  workaround until the problem is correctly handled is to use the 
-  flag "--instantiate=local" prior to the configure and build steps, as:
-        setenv CXX "pgCC --instantiate=local"  for pgCC 5.02 and higher
-        setenv CXX "pgCC -tlocal" for others
-
-* The h5dump tests may fail to match the expected output on some platforms
-  (e.g. parallel jobs, Windows) where the error messages directed to
-  "stderr" do not appear in the "right order" with output from stdout.
-  This is not an error.
-
-* The stream-vfd test uses ip port 10007 for testing. If another
-  application is already using that port address, the test will hang
-  indefinitely and has to be terminated by the kill command. To try the
-  test again, change the port address in test/stream_test.c to one not
-  being used in the host.
-
-* The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for Solaris
-  platforms. This is due to the fact that not all of the system
-  libraries on Solaris are available in a static format.
-
-  The --enable-static-exec configure flag also fails to correctly compile
-  on IBM SP2 platform for the serial mode. The parallel mode works fine
-  with this option.
-  
-  It is suggested that you don't use this option on these platforms
-  during configuration.
-
-* With the gcc 2.95.2 compiler, HDF 5 uses the `-ansi' flag during
-  compilation. The ANSI version of the compiler complains about not being
-  able to handle the `long long' datatype with the warning:
-
-        warning: ANSI C does not support `long long'
-  
-  This warning is innocuous and can be safely ignored.
-
-
-* The Stream VFD was not tested yet under Windows. It is not supported
-  in the TFLOPS machine.
-
-
-* The ./dsets tests failed in the TFLOPS machine if the test program,
-  dsets.c, is compiled with the -O option.  The hdf5 library still works
-  correctly with the -O option.  The test program works fine if it is
-  compiled with -O1 or -O0.  Only -O (same as -O2) causes the test
-  program to fail.
-
-* Certain platforms give false negatives when testing h5ls:
-    - Cray J90 and Cray T90IEEE give errors during testing when displaying
-      some floating-point values. These are benign differences due to
-      the different precision in the values displayed and h5ls appears to
-      be dumping floating-point numbers correctly.
-
-* Before building HDF5 F90 Library from source on Crays 
-  replace H5Aff.f90, H5Dff.f90 and H5Pff.f90 files in the fortran/src
-  subdirectory in the top level directory with the Cray-specific files
-  from the site:
-ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.6.2/F90_source_for_Crays
-
-* On some platforms that use Intel and Absoft compilers to build HDF5 fortran library,
-  compilation may fail for fortranlib_test.f90, fflush1.f90 and fflush2.f90
-  complaining about exit subroutine. Comment out the line 
-  IF (total_error .ne. 0) CALL exit (total_error)
-
-* On IA32 and IA64 systems, if you use a compiler other than GCC (such as
-  Intel's ecc or icc compilers), you will need to modify the generated
-  "libtool" program after configuration is finished. On or around line 104 of
-  the libtool file, there are lines which look like:
-
-      # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler.
-      wl=""
-
-  change these lines to this:
-
-      # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler.
-      wl="-Wl,"
-
-  UPDATE: This is now done automatically by the configure script. However, if
-  you still experience a problem, you may want to check this line in the
-  libtool file and make sure that it has the correct value.
-
-* Information about building with PGI and Intel compilers is available in
-  INSTALL file sections 5.7 and 5.8
-
-* On at least one system, (SDSC DataStar), the scheduler (in this case
-  LoadLeveler) sends job status updates to standard error when you run 
-  any executable that was compiled with the parallel compilers.
-
-  This causes problems when running "make check" on parallel builds, as 
-  many of the tool tests function by saving the output from test runs,
-  and comparing it to an exemplar.  
-
-  The best solution is to reconfigure the target system so it no longer
-  inserts the extra text.  However, this may not be practical.
-
-  In such cases, one solution is to "setenv HDF5_Make_Ignore yes" prior to 
-  the configure and build.  This will cause "make check" to continue after 
-  detecting errors in the tool tests.  However, in the case of SDSC DataStar,
-  it also leaves you with some 150 "failed" tests to examine by hand.
-
-  A second solution is to write a script to run serial tests and filter
-  out the text added by the scheduler.  A sample script used on SDSC
-  DataStar is given below, but you will probably have to customize it 
-  for your installation.  
-
-  Observe that the basic idea is to insert the script as the first item 
-  on the command line which executes the the test.  The script then 
-  executes the test and filters out the offending text before passing
-  it on.
-
-        #!/bin/csh
-
-        set STDOUT_FILE=~/bin/serial_filter.stdout
-        set STDERR_FILE=~/bin/serial_filter.stderr
-
-        rm -f $STDOUT_FILE $STDERR_FILE
-
-        ($* > $STDOUT_FILE) >& $STDERR_FILE
-
-	set RETURN_VALUE=$status
-
-        cat $STDOUT_FILE
-
-        tail +3 $STDERR_FILE
-
-	exit $RETURN_VALUE
-
-  You get the HDF make files and test scipts to execute your filter script
-  by setting the environment variable "RUNSERIAL" to the full path of the 
-  script prior to running configure for parallel builds.  Remember to 
-  "unsetenv RUNSERIAL" before running configure for a serial build.
-
-  Note that the RUNSERIAL environment variable exists so that we can 
-  can prefix serial runs as necessary on the target system.  On DataStar,
-  no prefix is necessary.  However on an MPICH system, the prefix might
-  have to be set to something like "/usr/local/mpi/bin/mpirun -np 1" to
-  get the serial tests to run at all.
-
-  In such cases, you will have to include the regular prefix in your
-  filter script.

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>The Attribute Interface (H5A)</h1>
-
-    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>The attribute API (H5A) is primarily designed to easily allow small
-        datasets to be attached to primary datasets as metadata information.
-        Additional goals for the H5A interface include keeping storage
-        requirements for each attribute to a minimum and easily sharing
-        attributes among datasets.
-    <p>Because attributes are intended to be small objects, large datasets
-        intended as additional information for a primary dataset should be
-        stored as supplemental datasets in a group with the primary dataset.
-        Attributes can then be attached to the group containing everything to
-        indicate a particular type of dataset with supplemental datasets is
-        located in the group.  How small is "small" is not defined by the
-        library and is up to the user's interpretation.
-    <p>Attributes are not separate objects in the file, they are always
-        contained in the object header of the object they are attached to.  The
-        I/O functions defined below are required to read or write attribute
-        information, not the H5D I/O routines.
-
-    <h2>2. Creating, Opening, Closing and Deleting Attributes</h2>
-
-    <p>Attributes are created with the <code>H5Acreate()</code> function,
-      and existing attributes can be accessed with either the
-      <code>H5Aopen_name()</code> or <code>H5Aopen_idx()</code> functions. All
-      three functions return an object ID which should be eventually released
-      by calling <code>H5Aclose()</code>.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Acreate (hid_t <em>loc_id</em>, const char
-	  *<em>name</em>, hid_t <em>type_id</em>, hid_t <em>space_id</em>,
-	  hid_t <em>create_plist_id</em>)</code>
-        <dd>This function creates an attribute which is attached to the object
-    specified with <em>loc_id</em>.  The name specified with <em>name</em>
-    for each attribute for an object must be unique for that object.  The <em>type_id</em>
-    and <em>space_id</em> are created with the H5T and H5S interfaces
-    respectively.  Currently only simple dataspaces are allowed for attribute
-    dataspaces.  The <em>create_plist_id</em> property list is currently
-    unused, but will be used in the future for optional properties of
-    attributes.  The attribute ID returned from this function must be released
-    with H5Aclose or resource leaks will develop.  Attempting to create an
-    attribute with the same name as an already existing attribute will fail,
-    leaving the pre-existing attribute in place.
-    This function returns an attribute ID for success or negative for failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Aopen_name (hid_t <em>loc_id</em>, const char
-	  *<em>name</em>)</code>
-      <dd> This function opens an attribute which is attached to the object
-    specified with <em>loc_id</em>.  The name specified with <em>name</em>
-    indicates the attribute to access.  The attribute ID returned from this
-    function must be released with H5Aclose or resource leaks will develop.
-    This function returns an attribute ID for success or negative for failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Aopen_idx (hid_t <em>loc_id</em>, unsigned
-	  <em>idx</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function opens an attribute which is attached to the object
-    specified with <em>loc_id</em>.  The attribute specified with <em>idx</em>
-    indicates the <em>idx</em>th attribute to access, starting with '0'. The
-    attribute ID returned from this function must be released with H5Aclose or
-    resource leaks will develop.
-    This function returns an attribute ID for success or negative for failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Aclose (hid_t <em>attr_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function releases an attribute from use.  Further use of the
-    attribute ID will result in undefined behavior.
-    This function returns non-negative on success, negative on failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Adelete (hid_t <em>loc_id</em>, 
-        const char *<em>name</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function removes the named attribute from a dataset or group.
-    This function should not be used when attribute IDs are open on <em>loc_id</em>
-    as it may cause the internal indexes of the attributes to change and future 
-    writes to the open attributes to produce incorrect results.
-    Returns non-negative on success, negative on failure.
-    </dl>
-
-    <h2>3. Attribute I/O Functions</h2>
-
-    <p>Attributes may only be written as an entire object, no partial I/O
-        is currently supported.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Awrite (hid_t <em>attr_id</em>,
-      hid_t <em>mem_type_id</em>, void *<em>buf</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function writes an attribute, specified with <em>attr_id</em>,
-    with <em>mem_type_id</em> specifying the datatype in memory.  The entire
-    attribute is written from <em>buf</em> to the file.
-    This function returns non-negative on success, negative on failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Aread (hid_t <em>attr_id</em>,
-      hid_t <em>mem_type_id</em>, void *<em>buf</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function read an attribute, specified with <em>attr_id</em>, with
-    <em>mem_type_id</em> specifying the datatype in memory.  The entire
-    attribute is read into <em>buf</em> from the file.
-    This function returns non-negative on success, negative on failure.
-
-    </dl>
-
-    <h2>4. Attribute Inquiry Functions</h2>
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Aiterate (hid_t <em>loc_id</em>, 
-      unsigned *<em>attr_number</em>, 
-      H5A_operator <em>operator</em>, 
-	  void *<em>operator_data</em>)</code>
-      <dd> This function iterates over the attributes of the dataset or group
-    specified with <em>loc_id</em>.  For each attribute of the object, the
-    <em>operator_data</em> and some additional information (specified below)
-    are passed to the <em>operator</em> function.  The iteration begins with
-    the <em>*attr_number</em> object in the group and the next attribute to be
-    processed by the operator is returned in <em>*attr_number</em>.
-        <P>The iterator returns a negative value if something is wrong, the return
-    value of the last operator if it was non-zero, or zero if all attributes
-    were processed.
-        <P>The prototype for H5A_operator_t is: <br>
-            <code>typedef herr_t (*H5A_operator_t)(hid_t <em>loc_id</em>,
-                const char *<em>attr_name</em>, void *<em>operator_data</em>);</code>
-    <P>The operation receives the ID for the group or dataset being iterated over
-    (<em>loc_id</em>), the name of the current attribute about the object (<em>attr_name</em>)
-    and the pointer to the operator data passed in to H5Aiterate
-    (<em>operator_data</em>).  The return values from an operator are:
-        <ul>
-        <li>Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all 
-            attributes have been processed.
-        <li>Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive
-            value, indicating short-circuit success.  The iterator can be
-            restarted at the next attribute.
-        <li>Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value,
-            indicating failure.  The iterator can be restarted at the next
-            attribute.
-        </ul>
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Aget_space (hid_t <em>attr_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function retrieves a copy of the dataspace for an attribute.
-    The dataspace ID returned from this function must be released with H5Sclose
-    or resource leaks will develop.
-    This function returns a dataspace ID for success or negative for failure.
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Aget_type (hid_t <em>attr_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function retrieves a copy of the datatype for an attribute.
-    The datatype ID returned from this function must be released with H5Tclose
-    or resource leaks will develop.
-    This function returns a datatype ID for success or negative for failure.
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>ssize_t H5Aget_name (hid_t <em>attr_id</em>,
-          size_t <em>buf_size</em>, char *<em>buf</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function retrieves the name of an attribute for an attribute ID.
-    Up to <em>buf_size</em> characters are stored in <em>buf</em> followed by a
-    '\0' string terminator.  If the name of the attribute is longer than
-    <em>buf_size</em>-1, the string terminator is stored in the last position
-    of the buffer to properly terminate the string.
-    This function returns the length of the attribute's name (which may be
-    longer than <em>buf_size</em>) on success or negative for failure.
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>int H5Aget_num_attrs (hid_t <em>loc_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function returns the number of attributes attached to a dataset or
-    group, <em>loc_id</em>.
-    This function returns non-negative for success or negative for failure.

-    <h1>Big Datasets on Small Machines</h1>
-
-    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>The HDF5 library is able to handle files larger than the
-      maximum file size, and datasets larger than the maximum memory
-      size.  For instance, a machine where <code>sizeof(off_t)</code>
-      and <code>sizeof(size_t)</code> are both four bytes can handle
-      datasets and files as large as 18x10^18 bytes.  However, most
-      Unix systems limit the number of concurrently open files, so a
-      practical file size limit is closer to 512GB or 1TB.
-
-    <p>Two "tricks" must be imployed on these small systems in order
-      to store large datasets.  The first trick circumvents the
-      <code>off_t</code> file size limit and the second circumvents
-      the <code>size_t</code> main memory limit.
-
-    <h2>2. File Size Limits</h2>
-
-    <p>Systems that have 64-bit file addresses will be able to access
-      those files automatically.  One should see the following output
-      from configure:
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-checking size of off_t... 8
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>Also, some 32-bit operating systems have special file systems
-      that can support large (&gt;2GB) files and HDF5 will detect
-      these and use them automatically.  If this is the case, the
-      output from configure will show:
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-checking for lseek64... yes
-checking for fseek64... yes
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>Otherwise one must use an HDF5 file family.  Such a family is
-      created by setting file family properties in a file access
-      property list and then supplying a file name that includes a
-      <code>printf</code>-style integer format.  For instance:
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-hid_t plist, file;
-plist = H5Pcreate (H5P_FILE_ACCESS);
-H5Pset_family (plist, 1&lt;&lt;30, H5P_DEFAULT);
-file = H5Fcreate ("big%03d.h5", H5F_ACC_TRUNC, H5P_DEFAULT, plist);
-    </code></pre>
-
-    <p>The second argument (<code>1&lt;&lt;30</code>) to
-      <code>H5Pset_family()</code> indicates that the family members
-      are to be 2^30 bytes (1GB) each although we could have used any
-      reasonably large value.  In general, family members cannot be
-      2GB because writes to byte number 2,147,483,647 will fail, so
-      the largest safe value for a family member is 2,147,483,647.
-      HDF5 will create family members on demand as the HDF5 address
-      space increases, but since most Unix systems limit the number of
-      concurrently open files the effective maximum size of the HDF5
-      address space will be limited (the system on which this was
-      developed allows 1024 open files, so if each family member is
-      approx 2GB then the largest HDF5 file is approx 2TB).
-
-    <p>If the effective HDF5 address space is limited then one may be
-      able to store datasets as external datasets each spanning
-      multiple files of any length since HDF5 opens external dataset
-      files one at a time.  To arrange storage for a 5TB dataset split
-      among 1GB files one could say:
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-hid_t plist = H5Pcreate (H5P_DATASET_CREATE);
-for (i=0; i&lt;5*1024; i++) {
-   sprintf (name, "velocity-%04d.raw", i);
-   H5Pset_external (plist, name, 0, (size_t)1&lt;&lt;30);
-}
-    </code></pre>
-
-    <h2>3. Dataset Size Limits</h2>
-
-    <p>The second limit which must be overcome is that of
-      <code>sizeof(size_t)</code>.  HDF5 defines a data type called
-      <code>hsize_t</code> which is used for sizes of datasets and is,
-      by default, defined as <code>unsigned long long</code>.
-
-    <p>To create a dataset with 8*2^30 4-byte integers for a total of
-      32GB one first creates the dataspace.  We give two examples
-      here: a 4-dimensional dataset whose dimension sizes are smaller
-      than the maximum value of a <code>size_t</code>, and a
-      1-dimensional dataset whose dimension size is too large to fit
-      in a <code>size_t</code>.
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-hsize_t size1[4] = {8, 1024, 1024, 1024};
-hid_t space1 = H5Screate_simple (4, size1, size1);
-
-hsize_t size2[1] = {8589934592LL};
-hid_t space2 = H5Screate_simple (1, size2, size2};
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>However, the <code>LL</code> suffix is not portable, so it may
-      be better to replace the number with
-      <code>(hsize_t)8*1024*1024*1024</code>.
-
-    <p>For compilers that don't support <code>long long</code> large
-      datasets will not be possible.  The library performs too much
-      arithmetic on <code>hsize_t</code> types to make the use of a
-      struct feasible.

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>Data Caching</h1>
-
-    <h2>1. Meta Data Caching</h2>
-
-    <p>The HDF5 library caches two types of data: meta data and raw
-      data.  The meta data cache holds file objects like the file
-      header, symbol table nodes, global heap collections, object
-      headers and their messages, etc. in a partially decoded
-      state. The cache has a fixed number of entries which is set with 
-      the file access property list (defaults to 10k) and each entry
-      can hold a single meta data object.  Collisions between objects
-      are handled by preempting the older object in favor of the new
-      one.
-
-    <h2>2. Raw Data Chunk Caching</h2>
-
-    <p>Raw data chunks are cached because I/O requests at the
-      application level typically don't map well to chunks at the
-      storage level.  The chunk cache has a maximum size in bytes
-      set with the file access property list (defaults to 1MB) and
-      when the limit is reached chunks are preempted based on the
-      following set of heuristics.
-
-    <ul>
-      <li>Chunks which have not been accessed for a long time
-	relative to other chunks are penalized.
-      <li>Chunks which have been accessed frequently in the recent
-	past are favored.
-      <li>Chunks which are completely read and not written, completely 
-	written but not read, or completely read and completely
-	written are penalized according to <em>w0</em>, an
-	application-defined weight between 0 and 1 inclusive. A weight 
-	of zero does not penalize such chunks while a weight of 1
-	penalizes those chunks more than all other chunks.  The
-	default is 0.75.
-      <li>Chunks which are larger than the maximum cache size do not
-	participate in the cache.
-    </ul>
-
-    <p>One should choose large values for <em>w0</em> if I/O requests
-      typically do not overlap but smaller values for <em>w0</em> if
-      the requests do overlap.  For instance, reading an entire 2d
-      array by reading from non-overlapping "windows" in a row-major
-      order would benefit from a high <em>w0</em> value while reading
-      a diagonal accross the dataset where each request overlaps the
-      previous request would benefit from a small <em>w0</em>.
-
-    <h2>3. Data Caching Operations</h2>
-
-    <p>The cache parameters for both caches are part of a file access
-      property list and are set and queried with this pair of
-      functions:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_cache(hid_t <em>plist</em>, unsigned int 
-	  <em>mdc_nelmts</em>, size_t <em>rdcc_nbytes</em>, double
-	  <em>w0</em>)</code>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pget_cache(hid_t <em>plist</em>, unsigned int 
-	  *<em>mdc_nelmts</em>, size_t *<em>rdcc_nbytes</em>, double
-	  <em>w0</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Sets or queries the meta data cache and raw data chunk cache 
-	parameters.  The <em>plist</em> is a file access property
-	list.  The number of elements (objects) in the meta data cache 
-	is <em>mdc_nelmts</em>.  The total size of the raw data chunk
-	cache and the preemption policy is <em>rdcc_nbytes</em> and
-	<em>w0</em>.  For <code>H5Pget_cache()</code> any (or all) of
-	the pointer arguments may be null pointers.
-    </dl>

-
-    <h2><a name="S1">1. Introduction</a></h2>
-
-
-    <p><em>Chunking</em> refers to a storage layout where a dataset is
-      partitioned into fixed-size multi-dimensional chunks.  The
-      chunks cover the dataset but the dataset need not be an integral
-      number of chunks.  If no data is ever written to a chunk then
-      that chunk isn't allocated on disk.  Figure 1 shows a 25x48
-      element dataset covered by nine 10x20 chunks and 11 data points
-      written to the dataset.  No data was written to the region of
-      the dataset covered by three of the chunks so those chunks were
-      never allocated in the file -- the other chunks are allocated at 
-      independent locations in the file and written in their entirety.
-
-      <center><image src="Chunk_f1.gif"><br><b>Figure 1</b></center>
-
-    <p>The HDF5 library treats chunks as atomic objects -- disk I/O is 
-      always in terms of complete chunks<a href="#fn1">(1)</a>. This
-      allows data filters to be defined by the application to perform
-      tasks such as compression, encryption, checksumming,
-      <em>etc</em>. on entire chunks. As shown in Figure 2, if
-      <code>H5Dwrite()</code> touches only a few bytes of the chunk,
-      the entire chunk is read from the file, the data passes upward
-      through the filter pipeline, the few bytes are modified, the
-      data passes downward through the filter pipeline, and the entire
-      chunk is written back to the file.
-
-      <center><image src="Chunk_f2.gif"><br><b>Figure 2</b></center>
-
-    <h2><a name="S2">2. The Raw Data Chunk Cache</a></h2>
-
-    <p>It's obvious from Figure 2 that calling <code>H5Dwrite()</code> 
-      many times from the application would result in poor performance
-      even if the data being written all falls within a single chunk.
-      A raw data chunk cache layer was added between the top of the
-      filter stack and the bottom of the byte modification layer<a
-      href="#fn2">(2)</a>. By default, the chunk cache will store 521
-      chunks or 1MB of data (whichever is less) but these values can
-      be modified with <code>H5Pset_cache()</code>.
-
-    <p>The preemption policy for the cache favors certain chunks and
-      tries not to preempt them.
-
-    <ul>
-      <li>Chunks that have been accessed frequently in the near past
-	are favored.
-      <li>A chunk which has just entered the cache is favored.
-      <li>A chunk which has been completely read or completely written 
-	but not partially read or written is penalized according to
-	some application specified weighting between zero and one.
-      <li>A chunk which is larger than the maximum cache size is not
-	eligible for caching.
-    </ul>
-
-    <h2><a name="S3">3. Cache Efficiency</a></h2>
-
-    <p>Now for some real numbers... A 2000x2000 element dataset is
-      created and covered by a 20x20 array of chunks (each chunk is 100x100
-      elements). The raw data cache is adjusted to hold at most 25 chunks by
-      setting the maximum number of bytes to 25 times the chunk size in
-      bytes. Then the application creates a square, two-dimensional memory
-      buffer and uses it as a window into the dataset, first reading and then
-      rewriting in row-major order by moving the window across the dataset
-      (the read and write tests both start with a cold cache).
-
-    <p>The measure of efficiency in Figure 3 is the number of bytes requested
-      by the application divided by the number of bytes transferred from the
-      file.  There are at least a couple ways to get an estimate of the cache
-      performance: one way is to turn on <a href="Debugging.html">cache
-      debugging</a> and look at the number of cache misses.  A more accurate
-      and specific way is to register a data filter whose sole purpose is to
-      count the number of bytes that pass through it (that's the method used
-      below).
-
-    <center><image src="Chunk_f3.gif"><br><b>Figure 3</b></center>
-
-    <p>The read efficiency is less than one for two reasons: collisions in the
-      cache are handled by preempting one of the colliding chunks, and the
-      preemption algorithm occasionally preempts a chunk which hasn't been
-      referenced for a long time but is about to be referenced in the near
-      future.
-
-    <p>The write test results in lower efficiency for most window
-      sizes because HDF5 is unaware that the application is about to
-      overwrite the entire dataset and must read in most chunks before 
-      modifying parts of them.
-
-    <p>There is a simple way to improve efficiency for this example.
-      It turns out that any chunk that has been completely read or
-      written is a good candidate for preemption.  If we increase the
-      penalty for such chunks from the default 0.75 to the maximum
-      1.00 then efficiency improves.
-
-      <center><image src="Chunk_f4.gif"><br><b>Figure 4</b></center>
-
-    <p>The read efficiency is still less than one because of
-      collisions in the cache.  The number of collisions can often be
-      reduced by increasing the number of slots in the cache.  Figure
-      5 shows what happens when the maximum number of slots is
-      increased by an order of magnitude from the default (this change 
-      has no major effect on memory used by the test since the byte
-      limit was not increased for the cache).
-
-      <center><image src="Chunk_f5.gif"><br><b>Figure 5</b></center>
-
-    <p>Although the application eventually overwrites every chunk
-      completely the library has know way of knowing this before hand
-      since most calls to <code>H5Dwrite()</code> modify only a
-      portion of any given chunk. Therefore, the first modification of 
-      a chunk will cause the chunk to be read from disk into the chunk 
-      buffer through the filter pipeline.  Eventually HDF5 might
-      contain a data set transfer property that can turn off this read 
-      operation resulting in write efficiency which is equal to read
-      efficiency.
-
-
-    <h2><a name="S4">4. Fragmentation</a></h2>
-
-    <p>Even if the application transfers the entire dataset contents with a
-      single call to <code>H5Dread()</code> or <code>H5Dwrite()</code> it's
-      possible the request will be broken into smaller, more manageable
-      pieces by the library.  This is almost certainly true if the data
-      transfer includes a type conversion.
-
-      <center><image src="Chunk_f6.gif"><br><b>Figure 6</b></center>
-
-    <p>By default the strip size is 1MB but it can be changed by calling
-      <code>H5Pset_buffer()</code>.
-
-
-    <h2><a name="S5">5. File Storage Overhead</a></h2>
-
-    <p>The chunks of the dataset are allocated at independent
-      locations throughout the HDF5 file and a B-tree maps chunk
-      N-dimensional addresses to file addresses. The more chunks that
-      are allocated for a dataset the larger the B-tree. Large B-trees
-      have two disadvantages:
-
-    <ul>
-      <li>The file storage overhead is higher and more disk I/O is
-	required to traverse the tree from root to leaves.
-      <li>The increased number of B-tree nodes will result in higher
-	contention for the meta data cache.
-    </ul>
-
-    <p>There are three ways to reduce the number of B-tree nodes.  The
-      obvious way is to reduce the number of chunks by choosing a larger chunk
-      size (doubling the chunk size will cut the number of B-tree nodes in
-      half).  Another method is to adjust the split ratios for the B-tree by
-      calling <code>H5Pset_btree_ratios()</code>, but this method typically
-      results in only a slight improvement over the default settings.
-      Finally, the out-degree of each node can be increased by calling
-      <code>H5Pset_istore_k()</code> (increasing the out degree actually
-      increases file overhead while decreasing the number of nodes).
-
-
-    <h2><a name="S6">6. Chunk Compression</a></h2>
-
-    <p>Dataset chunks can be compressed through the use of filters.
-     See the chapter &ldquo;<a href="Filters.html">Filters in HDF5</a>.&rdquo;
-
-    <p>Reading and rewriting compressed chunked data can result in holes 
-     in an HDF5 file.  In time, enough such holes can increase the 
-     file size enough to impair application or library performance 
-     when working with that file.  See
-     &ldquo;<a href="Performance.html#Freespace">Freespace Management</a>&rdquo;
-     in the chapter
-     &ldquo;<a href="Performance.html">Performance Analysis and Issues</a>.&rdquo;

-    <h3>Some background...</h3>
-    <p>This is one of the functions exported from the
-      <code>H5B.c</code> file that implements a B-link-tree class
-      without worrying about concurrency yet (thus the `Note:' in the
-      function prologue). The <code>H5B.c</code> file provides the
-      basic machinery for operating on generic B-trees, but it isn't
-      much use by itself. Various subclasses of the B-tree (like
-      symbol tables or indirect storage) provide their own interface
-      and back end to this function.  For instance,
-      <code>H5G_stab_find()</code> takes a symbol table OID and a name
-      and calls <code>H5B_find()</code> with an appropriate
-      <code>udata</code> argument that eventually gets passed to the
-      <code>H5G_stab_find()</code> function.

-
-    <p>I use <code>assert</code> to check invariant conditions. At
-      this level of the library, none of these assertions should fail
-      unless something is majorly wrong.  The arguments should have
-      already been checked by higher layers.  It also provides
-      documentation about what arguments might be optional.

-48     * the thing for which we're searching.
-49     */
-50    if (NULL==(bt=H5AC_protect (f, H5AC_BT, addr, type, udata))) {
-51       HGOTO_ERROR (H5E_BTREE, H5E_CANTLOAD, FAIL);
-52    }
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>You'll see this quite often in the low-level stuff and it's
-      documented in the <code>H5AC.c</code> file.  The
-      <code>H5AC_protect</code> insures that the B-tree node (which
-      inherits from the H5AC package) whose OID is <code>addr</code>
-      is locked into memory for the duration of this function (see the
-      <code>H5AC_unprotect</code> on line 90).  Most likely, if this
-      node has been accessed in the not-to-distant past, it will still
-      be in memory and the <code>H5AC_protect</code> is almost a
-      no-op. If cache debugging is compiled in, then the protect also
-      prevents other parts of the library from accessing the node
-      while this function is protecting it, so this function can allow
-      the node to be in an inconsistent state while calling other
-      parts of the library.
-
-    <p>The alternative is to call the slighlty cheaper
-      <code>H5AC_find</code> and assume that the pointer it returns is
-      valid only until some other library function is called, but
-      since we're accessing the pointer throughout this function, I
-      chose to use the simpler protect scheme. All protected objects
-      <em>must be unprotected</em> before the file is closed, thus the
-      use of <code>HGOTO_ERROR</code> instead of
-      <code>HRETURN_ERROR</code>.
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-53    rt = bt->nchildren;
-54 
-55    while (lt&lt;rt && cmp) {
-56       idx = (lt + rt) / 2;
-57       if (H5B_decode_keys (f, bt, idx)&lt;0) {
-58          HGOTO_ERROR (H5E_BTREE, H5E_CANTDECODE, FAIL);
-59       }
-60 
-61       /* compare */
-62       if ((cmp=(type-&gt;cmp3)(f, bt->key[idx].nkey, udata,
-63                             bt->key[idx+1].nkey))&lt;0) {
-64          rt = idx;

-70       HGOTO_ERROR (H5E_BTREE, H5E_NOTFOUND, FAIL);
-71    }
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>Code is arranged in paragraphs with a comment starting each
-    paragraph. The previous paragraph is a standard binary search
-    algorithm. The <code>(type-&gt;cmp3)()</code> is an indirect
-    function call into the subclass of the B-tree.  All indirect
-    function calls have the function part in parentheses to document
-    that it's indirect (quite obvious here, but not so obvious when
-    the function is a variable).
-
-    <p>It's also my standard practice to have side effects in
-      conditional expressions because I can write code faster and it's
-      more apparent to me what the condition is testing.  But if I
-      have an assignment in a conditional expr, then I use an extra
-      set of parens even if they're not required (usually they are, as
-      in this case) so it's clear that I meant <code>=</code> instead
-      of <code>==</code>.
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-72 
-73    /*
-74     * Follow the link to the subtree or to the data node.
-75     */
-76    assert (idx&gt;=0 && idx<bt->nchildren);
-77    if (bt->level > 0) {
-78       if ((ret_value = H5B_find (f, type, bt->child+idx, udata))&lt;0) {
-79          HGOTO_ERROR (H5E_BTREE, H5E_NOTFOUND, FAIL);
-80       }
-81    } else {
-82       ret_value = (type-&gt;found)(f, bt->child+idx, bt->key[idx].nkey,
-83                                 udata, bt->key[idx+1].nkey);

-85          HGOTO_ERROR (H5E_BTREE, H5E_NOTFOUND, FAIL);
-86       }
-87    }
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>Here I broke the "side effect in conditional" rule, which I
-      sometimes do if the expression is so long that the
-      <code>&lt;0</code> gets lost at the end.  Another thing to note is
-      that success/failure is always determined by comparing with zero
-      instead of <code>SUCCEED</code> or <code>FAIL</code>. I do this
-      because occassionally one might want to return other meaningful
-      values (always non-negative) or distinguish between various types of
-      failure (always negative).
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-88 
-89 done:
-90    if (bt && H5AC_unprotect (f, H5AC_BT, addr, bt)&lt;0) {
-91       HRETURN_ERROR (H5E_BTREE, H5E_PROTECT, FAIL);
-92    }
-93    FUNC_LEAVE (ret_value);
-94 }
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>For lack of a better way to handle errors during error cleanup,
-      I just call the <code>HRETURN_ERROR</code> macro even though it
-      will make the error stack not quite right.  I also use short
-      circuiting boolean operators instead of nested <code>if</code>
-      statements since that's standard C practice.

-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>An API prologue is used for each API function instead of my
-      normal function prologue. I use the prologue from Code Review 1
-      for non-API functions because it's more suited to C programmers,
-      it requires less work to keep it synchronized with the code, and
-      I have better editing tools for it.
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-29 herr_t
-30 H5Fflush (hid_t fid, hbool_t invalidate)
-31 {
-32    H5F_t        *file = NULL;
-33 
-34    FUNC_ENTER (H5Fflush, H5F_init_interface, FAIL);
-35    H5ECLEAR;
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>API functions are never called internally, therefore I always
-      clear the error stack before doing anything.
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-36 
-37    /* check arguments */
-38    if (H5_FILE!=H5Aatom_group (fid)) {
-39       HRETURN_ERROR (H5E_ARGS, H5E_BADTYPE, FAIL); /*not a file atom*/
-40    }
-41    if (NULL==(file=H5Aatom_object (fid))) {
-42       HRETURN_ERROR (H5E_ATOM, H5E_BADATOM, FAIL); /*can't get file struct*/
-43    }
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>If something is wrong with the arguments then we raise an
-      error.  We never <code>assert</code> arguments at this level.
-      We also convert atoms to pointers since atoms are really just a
-      pointer-hiding mechanism.  Functions that can be called
-      internally always have pointer arguments instead of atoms
-      because (1) then they don't have to always convert atoms to
-      pointers, and (2) the various pointer data types provide more
-      documentation and type checking than just an <code>hid_t</code>
-      type.
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-44 
-45    /* do work */
-46    if (H5F_flush (file, invalidate)&lt;0) {
-47       HRETURN_ERROR (H5E_CACHE, H5E_CANTFLUSH, FAIL); /*flush failed*/
-48    }
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>An internal version of the function does the real work.  That
-      internal version calls <code>assert</code> to check/document
-      it's arguments and can be called from other library functions.
-
-    <p><code><pre>

-50    FUNC_LEAVE (SUCCEED);
-51 }

-  <LI>  Source files are named according to the package they contain (see
-    below).  All files will begin with `H5' so we can stuff our
-    object files into someone else's library and not worry about file
-    name conflicts.
-  <P>For Example:
-<i><b>
-<dd>	H5.c		-- "Generic" library functions 
-   <br>
-<dd>	H5B.c		-- B-link tree functions
-</i></b>
-  <p>
-   <LI> If a package is in more than one file, then another name is tacked
-    on.  It's all lower case with no underscores or hyphens.
-   <P>For Example:
-<i><b>
-<dd>	H5F.c		-- the file for this package
-   <br>
-<dd>	H5Fstdio.c	-- stdio functions (just an example)
-   <br>
-<dd>	H5Ffcntl.c	-- fcntl functions (just an example)
-</i></b>
-   <p>
-  <LI> Each package file has a header file of API stuff (unless there is
-    no API component to the package)
-   <P>For Example:
-<i><b>
-<dd>	H5F.h		-- things an application would see. </i> </b>
-   <P>
-    and a header file of private stuff
-<i><b>
-   <p>
-<dd>	H5Fprivate.h	-- things an application wouldn't see. The
-                    	   private header includes the public header.
-</i></b>
-    <p>
-    and a header for private prototypes
-<i><b>
-   <p>
-<dd>	H5Fproto.h	-- prototypes for internal functions.
-</i></b>
-    <P>
-    By splitting the prototypes into separate include files we don't
-    have to recompile everything when just one function prototype
-    changes.
-
-   <LI> The main API header file is `hdf5.h' and it includes each of the
-    public header files but none of the private header files.  Or the
-    application can include just the public header files it needs.
-
-   <LI> There is no main private or prototype header file because it
-    prevents make from being efficient.  Instead, each source file
-    includes only the private header and prototype files it needs
-    (first all the private headers, then all the private prototypes).
-
-   <LI> Header files should include everything they need and nothing more.

-For functions, this is important because the API functions never pass

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>The Dataset Interface (H5D)</h1>
-
-    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>The purpose of the dataset interface is to provide a mechanism
-      to describe properties of datasets and to transfer data between
-      memory and disk.  A dataset is composed of a collection of raw
-      data points and four classes of meta data to describe the data
-      points.  The interface is hopefully designed in such a way as to
-      allow new features to be added without disrupting current
-      applications that use the dataset interface.
-
-    <p>The four classes of meta data are:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt>Constant Meta Data
-      <dd>Meta data that is created when the dataset is created and
-	exists unchanged for the life of the dataset.  For instance,
-	the datatype of stored array elements is defined when the
-	dataset is created and cannot be subsequently changed.
-	
-      <dt>Persistent Meta Data
-      <dd>Meta data that is an integral and permanent part of a
-	dataset but can change over time.  For instance, the size in
-	any dimension can increase over time if such an increase is
-	allowed when the dataset was created.
-
-      <dt>Memory Meta Data
-      <dd>Meta data that exists to describe how raw data is organized
-	in the application's memory space.  For instance, the data
-	type of elements in an application array might not be the same
-	as the datatype of those elements as stored in the HDF5 file.
-
-      <dt>Transport Meta Data
-      <dd>Meta data that is used only during the transfer of raw data
-	from one location to another.  For instance, the number of
-	processes participating in a collective I/O request or hints
-	to the library to control caching of raw data.
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>Each of these classes of meta data is handled differently by
-      the library although the same API might be used to create them.
-      For instance, the datatype exists as constant meta data and as
-      memory meta data; the same API (the <code>H5T</code> API) is
-      used to manipulate both pieces of meta data but they're handled
-      by the dataset API (the <code>H5D</code> API) in different
-      manners.
-
-
-
-    <h2>2. Storage Layout Properties</h2>
-
-    <p>The dataset API partitions these terms on three orthogonal axes
-      (layout, compression, and external storage) and uses a
-      <em>dataset creation property list</em> to hold the various
-      settings and pass them through the dataset interface.  This is
-      similar to the way HDF5 files are created with a file creation
-      property list.  A dataset creation property list is always
-      derived from the default dataset creation property list (use
-      <code>H5Pcreate()</code> to get a copy of the default property
-      list) by modifying properties with various
-      <code>H5Pset_<em>property</em>()</code> functions.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_layout (hid_t <em>plist_id</em>,
-	  H5D_layout_t <em>layout</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The storage layout is a piece of constant meta data that
-	describes what method the library uses to organize the raw
-	data on disk. The default layout is contiguous storage.
-
-	<br><br>
-	<dl>
-	  <dt><code>H5D_COMPACT</code>  &nbsp;&nbsp; <i><b>(Not yet implemented.)</b></i>
-	  <dd>The raw data is presumably small and can be stored
-	    directly in the object header.  Such data is
-	    non-extendible, non-compressible, non-sparse, and cannot
-	    be stored externally. Most of these restrictions are
-	    arbitrary but are enforced because of the small size of
-	    the raw data. Storing data in this format eliminates the
-	    disk seek/read request normally necessary to read raw
-	    data. 
-
-	    <br><br>
-	  <dt><code>H5D_CONTIGUOUS</code>
-	  <dd>The raw data is large, non-extendible, non-compressible,
-	    non-sparse, and can be stored externally.  This is the
-	    default value for the layout property.  The term
-	    <em>large</em> means that it may not be possible to hold
-	    the entire dataset in memory.  The non-compressibility is
-	    a side effect of the data being large, contiguous, and
-	    fixed-size at the physical level, which could cause
-	    partial I/O requests to be extremely expensive if
-	    compression were allowed.
-
-	    <br><br>
-	  <dt><code>H5D_CHUNKED</code>
-	  <dd>The raw data is large and can be extended in any
-	    dimension at any time (provided the data space also allows
-	    the extension). It may be sparse at the chunk level (each
-	    chunk is non-sparse, but there might only be a few chunks)
-	    and each chunk can be compressed and/or stored externally.
-	    A dataset is partitioned into chunks so each chunk is the
-	    same logical size.  The chunks are indexed by a B-tree and
-	    are allocated on demand (although it might be useful to be
-	    able to preallocate storage for parts of a chunked array
-	    to reduce contention for the B-tree in a parallel
-	    environment). The chunk size must be defined with
-	    <code>H5Pset_chunk()</code>.
-
-	    <br><br>
-	  <dt><em>others...</em>
-	  <dd>Other layout types may be defined later without breaking
-	    existing code.  However, to be able to correctly read or
-	    modify data stored with one of these new layouts, the
-	    application will need to be linked with a new version of
-	    the library.  This happens automatically on systems with
-	    dynamic linking.
-	</dl>
-    </dl>
-
-    <a name="Dataset_PSetChunk">
-    <p>Once the general layout is defined, the user can define
-    </a>
-      properties of that layout.  Currently, the only layout that has
-      user-settable properties is the <code>H5D_CHUNKED</code> layout,
-      which needs to know the dimensionality and chunk size.
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_chunk (hid_t <em>plist_id</em>, int
-	  <em>ndims</em>, hsize_t <em>dim</em>[])</code>
-      <dd>This function defines the logical size of a chunk for
-	chunked layout.  If the layout property is set to
-	<code>H5D_CHUNKED</code> and the chunk size is set to
-	<em>dim</em>. The number of elements in the <em>dim</em> array
-	is the dimensionality, <em>ndims</em>. One need not call
-	<code>H5Dset_layout()</code> when using this function since
-	the chunked layout is implied.
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table border align=center width="100%">
-	  <caption align=bottom><h4>Example: Chunked Storage</h4></caption>
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>
-	      <p>This example shows how a two-dimensional dataset
-		is partitioned into chunks.  The library can manage file
-		memory by moving the chunks around, and each chunk could be
-		compressed.  The chunks are allocated in the file on demand
-		when data is written to the chunk.

-size_t hsize[2] = {1000, 1000};
-plist = H5Pcreate (H5P_DATASET_CREATE);

-	    </td>
-	  </tr>
-	</table>
-      </center>
-
-
-    <p>Although it is most efficient if I/O requests are aligned on chunk
-      boundaries, this is not a constraint.  The application can perform I/O
-      on any set of data points as long as the set can be described by the
-      data space.  The set on which I/O is performed is called the
-      <em>selection</em>.
-
-    <h2>3. Compression Properties</h2>
-
-    <p>Chunked data storage 
-      (see <a href="#Dataset_PSetChunk"><code>H5Pset_chunk</code></a>) 
-      allows data compression as defined by the function 
-      <code>H5Pset_deflate</code>.
-
-<!--
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_compression (hid_t <em>plist_id</em>,
-	  H5Z_method_t <em>method</em>)</code>
-      <dt><code>H5Z_method_t H5Pget_compression (hid_t
-	  <em>plist_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>These functions set and query the compression method that
-	is used to compress the raw data of a dataset.  The
-	<em>plist_id</em> is a dataset creation property list.  The
-	possible values for the compression method are:
-
-	<br><br>
-	<dl>
-	  <dt><code>H5Z_NONE</code>
-	  <dd>This is the default and specifies that no compression is
-	    to be performed.
-
-	    <br><br>
-	  <dt><code>H5Z_DEFLATE</code>
-	  <dd>This specifies that a variation of the Lempel-Ziv 1977
-	    (LZ77) encoding is used, the same encoding used by the
-	    free GNU <code>gzip</code> program.
-	</dl>
--->
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_deflate (hid_t <em>plist_id</em>,
-	  int <em>level</em>)</code>
-      <dt><code>int H5Pget_deflate (hid_t <em>plist_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>These functions set or query the deflate level of
-	dataset creation property list <em>plist_id</em>.  The
-	<code>H5Pset_deflate()</code> sets the compression method to
-	<code>H5Z_DEFLATE</code> and sets the compression level to
-	some integer between one and nine (inclusive).  One results in
-	the fastest compression while nine results in the best
-	compression ratio.  The default value is six if
-	<code>H5Pset_deflate()</code> isn't called.  The
-	<code>H5Pget_deflate()</code> returns the compression level
-	for the deflate method, or negative if the method is not the
-	deflate method.
-    </dl>
-
-    <h2>4. External Storage Properties</h2>
-
-    <p>Some storage formats may allow storage of data across a set of
-      non-HDF5 files. Currently, only the <code>H5D_CONTIGUOUS</code> storage
-      format allows external storage.  A set segments (offsets and sizes) in
-      one or more files is defined as an external file list, or <em>EFL</em>,
-      and the contiguous logical addresses of the data storage are mapped onto
-      these segments.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_external (hid_t <em>plist</em>, const
-	  char *<em>name</em>, off_t <em>offset</em>, hsize_t
-	  <em>size</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function adds a new segment to the end of the external
-	file list of the specified dataset creation property list.  The
-	segment begins a byte <em>offset</em> of file <em>name</em> and
-	continues for <em>size</em> bytes.  The space represented by this
-	segment is adjacent to the space already represented by the external
-	file list.  The last segment in a file list may have the size
-	<code>H5F_UNLIMITED</code>, in which case the external file may be 
-        of unlimited size and no more files can be added to the external files list.
-
-	  <br><br>
-      <dt><code>int H5Pget_external_count (hid_t <em>plist</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Calling this function returns the number of segments in an
-	external file list. If the dataset creation property list has no
-	external data then zero is returned.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pget_external (hid_t <em>plist</em>, unsigned
-	  <em>idx</em>, size_t <em>name_size</em>, char *<em>name</em>, off_t
-	  *<em>offset</em>, hsize_t *<em>size</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This is the counterpart for the <code>H5Pset_external()</code>
-	function.  Given a dataset creation property list and a zero-based
-	index into that list, the file name, byte offset, and segment size are
-	returned through non-null arguments.  At most <em>name_size</em>
-	characters are copied into the <em>name</em> argument which is not
-	null terminated if the file name is longer than the supplied name
-	buffer (this is similar to <code>strncpy()</code>).
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table border align=center width="100%">
-	  <caption align=bottom><h4>Example: Multiple Segments</h4></caption>
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>
-	      <p>This example shows how a contiguous, one-dimensional dataset
-		is partitioned into three parts and each of those parts is
-		stored in a segment of an external file. The top rectangle
-		represents the logical address space of the dataset
-		while the bottom rectangle represents an external file.
-	      <center>
-		<img alt="Multiple Segments" src="extern1.gif">

-H5Pset_external (plist, "velocity.data", 4500, 1500);

-
-	      <p>One should note that the segments are defined in order of the
-		logical addresses they represent, not their order within the
-		external file.  It would also have been possible to put the

-		automatically check for segments that overlap.

-      </center>
-
-    <p>The segments of an external file can exist beyond the end of the
-      file. The library reads that part of a segment as zeros.  When writing
-      to a segment that exists beyond the end of a file, the file is
-      automatically extended. Using this feature, one can create a segment
-      (or set of segments) which is larger than the current size of the
-      dataset, which allows to dataset to be extended at a future time
-      (provided the data space also allows the extension).
-
-    <p>All referenced external data files must exist before performing raw
-      data I/O on the dataset. This is normally not a problem since those
-      files are being managed directly by the application, or indirectly
-      through some other library.
-
-
-    <h2>5. Datatype</h2>
-
-    <p>Raw data has a constant datatype which describes the datatype
-      of the raw data stored in the file, and a memory datatype that
-      describes the datatype stored in application memory.  Both data
-      types are manipulated with the <a
-      href="Datatypes.html"><code>H5T</code></a> API.
-
-    <p>The constant file datatype is associated with the dataset when
-      the dataset is created in a manner described below.  Once
-      assigned, the constant datatype can never be changed.
-
-    <p>The memory datatype is specified when data is transferred
-      to/from application memory.  In the name of data sharability,
-      the memory datatype must be specified, but can be the same
-      type identifier as the constant datatype.
-
-    <p>During dataset I/O operations, the library translates the raw
-      data from the constant datatype to the memory datatype or vice
-      versa.  Structured datatypes include member offsets to allow
-      reordering of struct members and/or selection of a subset of
-      members and array datatypes include index permutation
-      information to allow things like transpose operations (<b>the
-      prototype does not support array reordering</b>) Permutations
-      are relative to some extrinsic descritpion of the dataset.
-
-
-
-    <h2>6. Data Space</h2>
-
-    <p>The dataspace of a dataset defines the number of dimensions
-      and the size of each dimension and is manipulated with the
-      <code>H5S</code> API.  The <em>simple</em> dataspace consists of
-      maximum dimension sizes and actual dimension sizes, which are
-      usually the same.  However, maximum dimension sizes can be the
-      constant <code>H5D_UNLIMITED</code> in which case the actual
-      dimension size can be incremented with calls to
-      <code>H5Dextend()</code>. The maximium dimension sizes are
-      constant meta data while the actual dimension sizes are
-      persistent meta data.  Initial actual dimension sizes are
-      supplied at the same time as the maximum dimension sizes when
-      the dataset is created.
-
-    <p>The dataspace can also be used to define partial I/O
-      operations. Since I/O operations have two end-points, the raw
-      data transfer functions take two data space arguments: one which
-      describes the application memory data space or subset thereof
-      and another which describes the file data space or subset
-      thereof.
-
-
-    <h2>7. Setting Constant or Persistent Properties</h2>
-
-    <p>Each dataset has a set of constant and persistent properties
-      which describe the layout method, pre-compression
-      transformation, compression method, datatype, external storage,
-      and data space.  The constant properties are set as described
-      above in a dataset creation property list whose identifier is
-      passed to <code>H5Dcreate()</code>.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Dcreate (hid_t <em>file_id</em>, const char
-	  *<em>name</em>, hid_t <em>type_id</em>, hid_t
-	  <em>space_id</em>, hid_t <em>create_plist_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>A dataset is created by calling <code>H5Dcreate</code> with
-	a file identifier, a dataset name, a datatype, a dataspace,
-	and constant properties.  The datatype and dataspace are the
-	type and space of the dataset as it will exist in the file,
-	which may be different than in application memory.  
-        Dataset names within a group must be unique: 
-        <code>H5Dcreate</code> returns an error if a dataset with the
-        name specified in <code><em>name</em></code> already exists 
-        at the location specified in <code><em>file_id</em></code>.
-        The <em>create_plist_id</em> is a <code>H5P_DATASET_CREATE</code>
-	property list created with <code>H5Pcreate()</code> and
-	initialized with the various functions described above.
-	<code>H5Dcreate()</code> returns a dataset handle for success
-	or negative for failure. The handle should eventually be
-	closed by calling <code>H5Dclose()</code> to release resources
-	it uses.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Dopen (hid_t <em>file_id</em>, const char
-	  *<em>name</em>)</code>
-      <dd>An existing dataset can be opened for access by calling this
-	function.  A dataset handle is returned for success or a
-	negative value is returned for failure.  The handle should
-	eventually be closed by calling <code>H5Dclose()</code> to
-	release resources it uses.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Dclose (hid_t <em>dataset_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function closes a dataset handle and releases all
-	resources it might have been using.  The handle should not be
-	used in subsequent calls to the library.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Dextend (hid_t <em>dataset_id</em>,
-	  hsize_t <em>dim</em>[])</code>
-      <dd>This function extends a dataset by increasing the size in
-	one or more dimensions.  Not all datasets can be extended.
-    </dl>
-
-
-
-    <h2>8. Querying Constant or Persistent Properties</h2>
-
-    <p>Constant or persistent properties can be queried with a set of
-      three functions.  Each function returns an identifier for a copy
-      of the requested properties.  The identifier can be passed to
-      various functions which modify the underlying object to derive a
-      new object; the original dataset is completely unchanged.  The
-      return values from these functions should be properly destroyed
-      when no longer needed.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Dget_type (hid_t <em>dataset_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Returns an identifier for a copy of the dataset permanent
-	datatype or negative for failure.
-
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Dget_space (hid_t <em>dataset_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Returns an identifier for a copy of the dataset permanent
-	data space, which also contains information about the current
-	size of the dataset if the data set is extendable with
-	<code>H5Dextend()</code>.
-
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Dget_create_plist (hid_t
-	  <em>dataset_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Returns an identifier for a copy of the dataset creation
-	property list. The new property list is created by examining
-	various permanent properties of the dataset.  This is mostly a
-	catch-all for everything but type and space.
-    </dl>
-
-
-
-    <h2>9. Setting Memory and Transfer Properties</h2>
-
-    <p>A dataset also has memory properties which describe memory
-      within the application, and transfer properties that control
-      various aspects of the I/O operations.  The memory can have a
-      datatype different than the permanent file datatype (different
-      number types, different struct member offsets, different array
-      element orderings) and can also be a different size (memory is a
-      subset of the permanent dataset elements, or vice versa).  The
-      transfer properties might provide caching hints or collective
-      I/O information. Therefore, each I/O operation must specify
-      memory and transfer properties.
-
-    <p>The memory properties are specified with <em>type_id</em> and
-      <em>space_id</em> arguments while the transfer properties are
-      specified with the <em>transfer_id</em> property list for the
-      <code>H5Dread()</code> and <code>H5Dwrite()</code> functions
-      (these functions are described below).
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_buffer (hid_t <em>xfer_plist</em>,
-	  hsize_t <em>max_buf_size</em>, void *<em>tconv_buf</em>, void
-	  *<em>bkg_buf</em>)</code>
-      <dt><code>hsize_t H5Pget_buffer (hid_t <em>xfer_plist</em>, void
-	  **<em>tconv_buf</em>, void **<em>bkg_buf</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Sets or retrieves the maximum size in bytes of the temporary
-	buffer used for datatype conversion in the I/O pipeline.  An
-	application-defined buffer can also be supplied as the
-	<em>tconv_buf</em> argument, otherwise a buffer will be
-	allocated and freed on demand by the library. A second
-	temporary buffer <em>bkg_buf</em> can also be supplied and
-	should be the same size as the <em>tconv_buf</em>.  The
-	default values are 1MB for the maximum buffer size, and null
-	pointers for each buffer indicating that they should be
-	allocated on demand and freed when no longer needed. The
-	<code>H5Pget_buffer()</code> function returns the maximum
-	buffer size or zero on error.
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>If the maximum size of the temporary I/O pipeline buffers is
-      too small to hold the entire I/O request, then the I/O request
-      will be fragmented and the transfer operation will be strip
-      mined.  However, certain restrictions apply to the strip
-      mining.  For instance, when performing I/O on a hyperslab of a
-      simple data space the strip mining is in terms of the slowest
-      varying dimension.  So if a 100x200x300 hyperslab is requested,
-      the temporary buffer must be large enough to hold a 1x200x300
-      sub-hyperslab.
-
-    <p>To prevent strip mining from happening, the application should
-      use <code>H5Pset_buffer()</code> to set the size of the
-      temporary buffer so it's large enough to hold the entire
-      request.

-    <h2>10. Querying Memory or Transfer Properties</h2>
-
-    <p>Unlike constant and persistent properties, a dataset cannot be
-      queried for it's memory or transfer properties.  Memory
-      properties cannot be queried because the application already
-      stores those properties separate from the buffer that holds the
-      raw data, and the buffer may hold multiple segments from various
-      datasets and thus have more than one set of memory properties.
-      The transfer properties cannot be queried from the dataset
-      because they're associated with the transfer itself and not with
-      the dataset (but one can call
-      <code>H5Pget_<em>property</em>()</code> to query transfer
-      properties from a tempalate).
-
-
-    <h2>11. Raw Data I/O</h2>
-
-    <p>All raw data I/O is accomplished through these functions which
-      take a dataset handle, a memory datatype, a memory data space,
-      a file data space, transfer properties, and an application
-      memory buffer.  They translate data between the memory datatype
-      and space and the file datatype and space.  The data spaces can
-      be used to describe partial I/O operations.
-      
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Dread (hid_t <em>dataset_id</em>, hid_t
-	  <em>mem_type_id</em>, hid_t <em>mem_space_id</em>, hid_t
-	  <em>file_space_id</em>, hid_t <em>xfer_plist_id</em>,
-	  void *<em>buf</em>/*out*/)</code>
-      <dd>Reads raw data from the specified dataset into <em>buf</em>
-	converting from file datatype and space to memory datatype
-	and space.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Dwrite (hid_t <em>dataset_id</em>, hid_t
-	  <em>mem_type_id</em>, hid_t <em>mem_space_id</em>, hid_t
-	  <em>file_space_id</em>, hid_t <em>xfer_plist_id</em>,
-	  const void *<em>buf</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Writes raw data from an application buffer <em>buf</em> to
-	the specified dataset converting from memory datatype and
-	space to file datatype and space.
-    </dl>
-
-
-    <p>In the name of sharability, the memory datatype must be
-      supplied.  However, it can be the same identifier as was used to
-      create the dataset or as was returned by
-      <code>H5Dget_type()</code>; the library will not implicitly
-      derive memory datatypes from constant datatypes.
-
-    <p>For complete reads of the dataset one may supply
-      <code>H5S_ALL</code> as the argument for the file data space.
-      If <code>H5S_ALL</code> is also supplied as the memory data
-      space then no data space conversion is performed.  This is a
-      somewhat dangerous situation since the file data space might be
-      different than what the application expects.
-
-
-
-    <h2>12. Examples</h2>
-
-    <p>The examples in this section illustrate some common dataset
-      practices.
-
-
-    <p>This example shows how to create a dataset which is stored in
-      memory as a two-dimensional array of native <code>double</code>
-      values but is stored in the file in Cray <code>float</code>
-      format using LZ77 compression.  The dataset is written to the
-      HDF5 file and then read back as a two-dimensional array of
-      <code>float</code> values.

-The Dataspace Interface (H5S)</H1>
-
-<H2>
-1. Introduction</H2>
-The dataspace interface (H5S) provides a mechanism to describe the positions
-of the elements of a dataset and is designed in such a way as to allow
-new features to be easily added without disrupting applications that use
-the dataspace interface. A dataset (defined with the dataset interface) is
-composed of a collection of raw data points of homogeneous type, defined in the
-datatype (H5T) interface, organized according to the dataspace with this
-interface.
-
-<P>A dataspace describes the locations that dataset elements are located at.
-A dataspace is either a regular N-dimensional array of data points,
-called a <I>simple</I> dataspace, or a more general collection of data
-points organized in another manner, called a <I>complex</I> dataspace.
-A <I>scalar</I> dataspace is a special case of the <I>simple</I> data
-space and is defined to be a 0-dimensional single data point in size. Currently
-only <I>scalar</I> and <I>simple</I> dataspaces are supported with this version
-of the H5S interface.
-<I>Complex</I> dataspaces will be defined and implemented in a future
-version.  <I>Complex</I> dataspaces are intended to be used for such structures
-which are awkward to express in <I>simple</I> dataspaces, such as irregularly
-gridded data or adaptive mesh refinement data. This interface provides
-functions to set and query properties of a dataspace.
-
-<P>Operations on a dataspace include defining or extending the extent of
-the dataspace, selecting portions of the dataspace for I/O and storing the
-dataspaces in the file.  The extent of a dataspace is the range of coordinates
-over which dataset elements are defined and stored.  Dataspace selections are 
-subsets of the extent (up to the entire extent) which are selected for some
-operation.
-
-<P>For example, a 2-dimensional dataspace with an extent of 10 by 10 may have
-the following very simple selection:
-    <br><br><center>

-      </table>
-      <br><strong>Example 2: Non-contiguous selection</strong>
-    </center>
-
-<P>Selections within dataspaces have an offset within the extent which is used
-to locate the selection within the extent of the dataspace.  Selection offsets
-default to 0 in each dimension, but may be changed to move the selection within
-a dataspace.  In example 2 above, if the offset was changed to 1,1, the selection
-would look like this:
-    <br><br><center>
-      <table border cellpadding=4>
-	<tr align=center>
-	  <th > </th> <th >0</th> <th >1</th> <th >2</th> <th >3</th> <th >4</th> <th >5</th> <th >6</th> <th >7</th> <th >8</th> <th >9</th>

-      </table>
-      <br><strong>Example 3: Non-contiguous selection with 1,1 offset</strong>
-    </center>
-
-<P>Selections also have a linearization ordering of the points selected
-(defaulting to "C" order, ie. last dimension changing fastest).  The
-linearization order may be specified for each point or it may be chosen by
-the axis of the dataspace.  For example, with the default "C" ordering,
-example 1's selected points are iterated through in this order: (1,1), (1,2),
-(1,3), (2,1), (2,2), etc.  With "FORTRAN" ordering, example 1's selected points 
-would be iterated through in this order: (1,1), (2,1), (3,1), (4,1), (5,1),
-(1,2), (2,2), etc.
-
-<P>A dataspace may be stored in the file as a permanent object, to allow many
-datasets to use a commonly defined dataspace.  Dataspaces with extendable
-extents (ie. unlimited dimensions) are not able to be stored as permanent
-dataspaces.
-
-<P>Dataspaces may be created using an existing permanent dataspace as a
-container to locate the new dataspace within.  These dataspaces are complete
-dataspaces and may be used to define datasets.  A dataspaces with a "parent"
-can be queried to determine the parent dataspace and the location within the
-parent.  These dataspaces must currently be the same number of dimensions as
-the parent dataspace.
-
-<H2> 2. General Dataspace Operations</H2>
-The functions defined in this section operate on dataspaces as a whole.
-New dataspaces can be created from scratch or copied from existing data
-spaces. When a dataspace is no longer needed its resources should be released
-by calling <TT>H5Sclose()</TT>.
-<DL>
-
-<DT>
-<TT>hid_t H5Screate(H5S_class_t <I>type</I>)</TT></DT>
-
-<DD>
-    This function creates a new dataspace of a particular <I>type</I>.  The
-types currently supported are H5S_SCALAR and H5S_SIMPLE; 
-others are planned to be added later.  
-</DD>
-
-<!-- Unimplemented function
-<DT>
-<TT>hid_t H5Sopen(hid_t <I>location</I>, const char *<I>name</I>)</TT></DT>
-
-<DD>
-    This function opens a permanent dataspace for use in an application.
-The <I>location</I> argument is a file or group ID and <I>name</I> is
-an absolute or relative path to the permanent dataspace.  The dataspace ID which
-is returned is a handle to a permanent dataspace which can't be modified.
-</DD>
--->
-
-<DT>
-<TT>hid_t H5Scopy (hid_t <I>space</I>)</TT></DT>
-
-<DD>
-    This function creates a new dataspace which is an exact copy of the
-dataspace <I>space</I>.
-</DD>
-
-<!-- Unimplemented function
-<DT>
-<TT>hid_t H5Ssubspace (hid_t <I>space</I>)</TT></DT>
-
-<DD>
-    This function uses the currently defined selection and offset in <I>space</I>
-to create a dataspace which is located within <I>space</I>.  The <I>space</I>
-dataspace must be a sharable dataspace located in the file, not a dataspace for
-a dataset.  The relationship of the new dataspace within the existing dataspace
-is preserved when the new dataspace is used to create datasets.  Currently,
-only subspaces which are equivalent to simple dataspaces (ie. rectangular
-contiguous areas) are allowed.  A subspace is not "simplified" or reduced in
-the number of dimensions used if the selection is "flat" in one dimension, they
-always have the same number of dimensions as their parent dataspace.

-</DD>
-
-<DT>
-<TT>herr_t H5Sset_extent_none (hid_t <I>space</I>)</TT></DT>

-</DD>
-
-<DT>
-<TT>herr_t H5Sextent_copy (hid_t <I>dest_space</I>,

-<DT>
-<TT>hsize_t H5Sget_simple_extent_npoints (hid_t <I>space</I>)</TT></DT>
-
-<DD>
-This function determines the number of elements in a dataspace. For example, a
-simple 3-dimensional dataspace with dimensions 2, 3 and 4 would have 24
-elements.
-Returns the number of elements in the dataspace, negative on failure.
-</DD>
-
-<DT>
-<TT>int H5Sget_simple_extent_ndims (hid_t <I>space</I>)</TT></DT>
-
-<DD>
-This function determines the dimensionality (or rank) of a dataspace. 
-Returns the number of dimensions in the dataspace, negative on failure.
-</DD>
-
-<DT>
-<TT>herr_t H5Sget_simple_extent_dims (hid_t <I>space</I>, hsize_t *<I>dims</I>,
-    hsize_t *<I>max</I>)</TT></DT>
-
-<DD>
-The function retrieves the size of the extent of the dataspace <I>space</I> by
-placing the size of each dimension in the array <I>dims</I>.  Also retrieves
-the size of the maximum extent of the dataspace, placing the results in
-<I>max</I>.
-Returns non-negative on success, negative on failure.
-</DD>
-
-</DL>
-
-<H2> 4. Dataspace Selection Operations</H2>
-Selections are maintained separately from extents in dataspaces and operations
-on the selection of a dataspace do not affect the extent of the dataspace.
-Selections are independent of extent type and the boundaries of selections are
-reconciled with the extent at the time of the data transfer.  Selection offsets
-apply a selection to a location within an extent, allowing the same selection
-to be moved within the extent without requiring a new selection to be specified.
-Offsets default to 0 when the dataspace is created.  Offsets are applied when
-an I/O transfer is performed (and checked during calls to H5Sselect_valid).
-Selections have an iteration order for the points selected, which can be any
-permutation of the dimensions involved (defaulting to 'C' array order) or a
-specific order for the selected points, for selections composed of single array
-elements with H5Sselect_elements.  
-
-<!-- Unimplemented function
-Selections can also be copied or combined
-together in various ways with H5Sselect_op.  
--->
-
-Further methods of selecting
-portions of a dataspace may be added in the future.
-
-<DL>
-<DT>
-<TT>herr_t H5Sselect_hyperslab (hid_t <I>space</I>, h5s_seloper_t <I>op</I>,
-    const hsize_t * <I>start</I>, const hsize_t * <I>stride</I>,
-    const hsize_t * <I>count</I>, const hsize_t * <I>block</I>)</TT></DT>
-
-<DD>
-This function selects a hyperslab region to add to the current selected region
-for the <I>space</I> dataspace.  The <I>start</I>, <I>stride</I>, <I>count</I>
-and <I>block</I> arrays must be the same size as the rank of the dataspace.  
-The selection operator <I>op</I> determines how the new selection is to be
-combined with the already existing selection for the dataspace.  
-Currently, The following operators are supported:
-  <dir>
-  <table width=80% border=0>
-    <tr><td valign=top>
-      <code>H5S_SELECT_SET</code>
-      </td><td valign=top>
-      Replaces the existing selection with the parameters from this call.  
-      Overlapping blocks are not supported with this operator.
-    </td></tr><tr><td valign=top>
-      <code>H5S_SELECT_OR</code>
-      </td><td valign=top>
-      Adds the new selection to the existing selection.
-    </td></tr>
-  </table>
-  </dir>
-<P>
-The <I>start</I> array determines the starting coordinates of the hyperslab
-to select.  The <I>stride</I> array chooses array locations from the dataspace
-with each value in the <I>stride</I> array determining how many elements to move
-in each dimension.  Setting a value in the <I>stride</I> array to 1 moves to
-each element in that dimension of the dataspace, setting a value of 2 in a
-location in the <I>stride</I> array moves to every other element in that
-dimension of the dataspace.  In other words, the <I>stride</I> determines the
-number of elements to move from the <I>start</I> location in each dimension.
-Stride values of 0 are not allowed.  If the <I>stride</I> parameter is <TT>NULL</TT>,
-a contiguous hyperslab is selected (as if each value in the <I>stride</I> array
-was set to all 1's).  The <I>count</I> array determines how many blocks to
-select from the dataspace, in each dimension.  The <I>block</I> array determines
-the size of the element block selected from the dataspace.  If the <I>block</I>
-parameter is set to <TT>NULL</TT>, the block size defaults to a single element
-in each dimension (as if the <I>block</I> array was set to all 1's).
-<P>For example, in a 2-dimensional dataspace, setting <I>start</I> to [1,1],
-<I>stride</I> to [4,4], <I>count</I> to [3,7] and <I>block</I> to [2,2] selects
-21 2x2 blocks of array elements starting with location (1,1) and selecting
-blocks at locations (1,1), (5,1), (9,1), (1,5), (5,5), etc.
-<P>Regions selected with this function call default to 'C' order iteration when
-I/O is performed.

-This function selects array elements to be included in the selection for the

-iterated through when I/O is performed.  Duplicate coordinate locations are not
-checked for.
-
-<P>The selection operator <I>op</I> determines how the new selection is to be
-combined with the already existing selection for the dataspace.

-      </td><td valign=top>
-      Adds the new selection to the existing selection.
-    </td></tr>

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>The Datatype Interface (H5T)</h1>
-
-    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-    
-    <p>The datatype interface provides a mechanism to describe the
-      storage format of individual data points of a data set and is
-      hopefully designed in such a way as to allow new features to be
-      easily added without disrupting applications that use the 
-      datatype interface.  A dataset (the H5D interface) is composed of a
-      collection or raw data points of homogeneous type organized
-      according to the data space (the H5S interface).
-
-    <p>A datatype is a collection of datatype properties, all of
-      which can be stored on disk, and which when taken as a whole,
-      provide complete information for data conversion to or from that
-      datatype.  The interface provides functions to set and query
-      properties of a datatype.
-      
-    <p>A <em>data point</em> is an instance of a <em>datatype</em>,
-      which is an instance of a <em>type class</em>.  We have defined
-      a set of type classes and properties which can be extended at a
-      later time.  The atomic type classes are those which describe
-      types which cannot be decomposed at the datatype interface
-      level; all other classes are compound.
-
-    <h2>2. General Datatype Operations</h2>
-
-    <p>The functions defined in this section operate on datatypes as
-      a whole. New datatypes can be created from scratch or copied
-      from existing datatypes.  When a datatype is no longer needed
-      its resources should be released by calling <code>H5Tclose()</code>.
-
-    <p> Datatypes come in two flavors: named datatypes and transient
-      datatypes. A named datatype is stored in a file while the
-      transient flavor is independent of any file. Named datatypes
-      are always read-only, but transient types come in three
-      varieties: modifiable, read-only, and immutable.  The difference 
-      between read-only and immutable types is that immutable types
-      cannot be closed except when the entire library is closed (the
-      predefined types like <code>H5T_NATIVE_INT</code> are immutable
-      transient types).
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Tcreate (H5T_class_t <em>class</em>, size_t
-	  <em>size</em>)</code>
-      <dd> Datatypes can be created by calling this
-	function, where <em>class</em> is a datatype class
-	identifier.  However, the only class currently allowed is
-	<code>H5T_COMPOUND</code> to create a new empty compound 
-	datatype where <em>size</em> is the total size in bytes of an
-	instance of this datatype.  Other datatypes are created with
-	<code>H5Tcopy()</code>. All functions that return datatype
-	identifiers return a negative value for failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Topen (hid_t <em>location</em>, const char
-	  *<em>name</em>)</code>
-      <dd>A named datatype can be opened by calling this function,
-	which returns a datatype identifier.  The identifier should
-	eventually be released by calling <code>H5Tclose()</code> to
-	release resources. The named datatype returned by this
-	function is read-only or a negative value is returned for
-	failure.  The <em>location</em> is either a file or group
-	identifier.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tcommit (hid_t <em>location</em>, const char
-	  *<em>name</em>, hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dd>A transient datatype (not immutable) can be committed to a
-	file and turned into a named datatype by calling this
-	function.  The <em>location</em> is either a file or group
-	identifier and when combined with <em>name</em> refers to a new
-	named datatype.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>htri_t H5Tcommitted (hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dd>A type can be queried to determine if it is a named type or
-	a transient type.  If this function returns a positive value
-	then the type is named (that is, it has been committed perhaps 
-	by some other application).  Datasets which return committed
-	datatypes with <code>H5Dget_type()</code> are able to share
-	the datatype with other datasets in the same file.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Tcopy (hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function returns a modifiable transient datatype
-	which is a copy of <em>type</em> or a negative value for
-	failure.  If <em>type</em> is a dataset identifier then the type
-	returned is a modifiable transient copy of the datatype of
-	the specified dataset.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tclose (hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Releases resources associated with a datatype.  The 
-	datatype identifier should not be subsequently used since the
-	results would be unpredictable.  It is illegal to close an
-	immutable transient datatype.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>htri_t H5Tequal (hid_t <em>type1</em>, hid_t
-	  <em>type2</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Determines if two types are equal.  If <em>type1</em> and
-	<em>type2</em> are the same then this function returns
-	<code>TRUE</code>, otherwise it returns <code>FALSE</code> (an
-	error results in a negative return value).
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tlock (hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dd>A transient datatype can be locked, making it immutable
-	(read-only and not closable). The library does this to all
-	predefined types to prevent the application from inadvertently
-	modifying or deleting (closing) them, but the application is
-	also allowed to do this for its own datatypes.  Immutable
-	datatypes are closed when the library closes (either by
-	<code>H5close()</code> or by normal program termination).
-    </dl>
-
-    <h2>3. Properties of Atomic Types</h2>
-
-    <p>An atomic type is a type which cannot be decomposed into
-      smaller units at the API level.  All atomic types have a common
-      set of properties which are augmented by properties specific to
-      a particular type class.  Some of these properties also apply to
-      compound datatypes, but we discuss them only as they apply to
-      atomic datatypes here. The properties and the functions that
-      query and set their values are:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>H5T_class_t H5Tget_class (hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This property holds one of the class names:
-	<code>H5T_INTEGER, H5T_FLOAT, H5T_TIME, H5T_STRING, or
-	H5T_BITFIELD</code>.  This property is read-only and is set
-	when the datatype is created or copied (see
-	<code>H5Tcreate()</code>, <code>H5Tcopy()</code>). If this
-	function fails it returns <code>H5T_NO_CLASS</code> which has
-	a negative value (all other class constants are non-negative).
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>size_t H5Tget_size (hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tset_size (hid_t <em>type</em>, size_t
-	  <em>size</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This property is total size of the datum in bytes, including

-	of the datatype then the <code>precision</code> property is

-	datatype may fail if the <code>H5T_FLOAT</code> bit fields would

-	size of an <code>H5T_STRING</code> automatically adjusts the
-	precision as well.  On error, <code>H5Tget_size()</code>
-	returns zero which is never a valid size.

-
-    <p>The library supports floating-point atomic types

-      <dd>A floating-point datum has bit fields which are the exponent
-	and mantissa as well as a mantissa sign bit.  These properties
-	define the location (bit position of least significant bit of
-	the field) and size (in bits) of each field.  The bit
-	positions are numbered beginning at zero at the beginning of
-	the significant part of the datum (see the descriptions of the
-	<code>precision</code> and <code>offset</code>
-	properties). The sign bit is always of length one and none of
-	the fields are allowed to overlap.  When expanding a
-	floating-point type one should set the precision first; when
-	decreasing the size one should set the field positions and

-    <h3>3.5. Properties of Bit Field Atomic Types</h3>
-
-    <p>Converting a bit field (<code>class=H5T_BITFIELD</code>) from
-      one type to another simply copies the significant bits.  If the

-      padding type.
-
-    <h3>3.6. Character and String Datatype Issues</h3>
-
-      The <code>H5T_NATIVE_CHAR</code> and <code>H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR</code> 
-      datatypes are actually numeric data (1-byte integers).  If the 
-      application wishes to store character data, then an HDF5 
-      <em>string</em> datatype should be derived from 
-      <code>H5T_C_S1</code> instead.
-
-        <h4>Motivation</h4>
-
-          HDF5 defines at least three classes of datatypes: 
-          integer data, floating point data, and character data.  
-          However, the C language defines only integer and 
-          floating point datatypes; character data in C is 
-          overloaded on the 8- or 16-bit integer types and 
-          character strings are overloaded on arrays of those 
-          integer types which, by convention, are terminated with 
-          a zero element.
-
-          In C, the variable <code>unsigned char s[256]</code> is 
-          either an array of numeric data, a single character string 
-          with at most 255 characters, or an array of 256 characters, 
-          depending entirely on usage.  For uniformity with the 
-          other <code>H5T_NATIVE_</code> types, HDF5 uses the 
-          numeric interpretation of <code>H5T_NATIVE_CHAR</code> 
-          and <code>H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR</code>.
-
-
-        <h4>Usage</h4>
-
-          To store <code>unsigned char s[256]</code> data as an 
-          array of integer values, use the HDF5 datatype 
-          <code>H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR</code> and a data space that 
-          describes the 256-element array. Some other application 
-          that reads the data will then be able to read, say, a 
-          256-element array of 2-byte integers and HDF5 will 
-          perform the numeric translation.
-
-          To store <code>unsigned char s[256]</code> data as a 
-          character string, derive a fixed length string datatype 
-          from <code>H5T_C_S1</code> by increasing its size to 
-          256 characters. Some other application that reads the 
-          data will be able to read, say, a space padded string 
-          of 16-bit characters and HDF5 will perform the character 
-          and padding translations.
-
-          <pre>
-                hid_t s256 = H5Tcopy(H5T_C_S1);
-                             H5Tset_size(s256, 256);
-          </pre>
-
-          To store <code>unsigned char s[256]</code> data as 
-          an array of 256 ASCII characters, use an 
-          HDF5 data space to describe the array and derive a 
-          one-character string type from <code>H5T_C_S1</code>. 
-          Some other application will be able to read a subset 
-          of the array as 16-bit characters and HDF5 will 
-          perform the character translations.  
-          The <code>H5T_STR_NULLPAD</code> is necessary because 
-          if <code>H5T_STR_NULLTERM</code> were used 
-          (the default) then the single character of storage 
-          would be for the null terminator and no useful data 
-          would actually be stored (unless the length were 
-          incremented to more than one character).
-
-          <pre>
-                hid_t s1 = H5Tcopy(H5T_C_S1);
-                           H5Tset_strpad(s1, H5T_STR_NULLPAD);
-          </pre>
-
-        <h4>Summary</h4>
-
-          The C language uses the term <code>char</code> to 
-          represent one-byte numeric data and does not make 
-          character strings a first-class datatype.  
-          HDF5 makes a distinction between integer and 
-          character data and maps the C <code>signed char</code> 
-          (<code>H5T_NATIVE_CHAR</code>) and 
-          <code>unsigned char</code> (<code>H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR</code>) 
-          datatypes to the HDF5 integer type class.
-
-    <h2>4. Properties of Opaque Types</h2>
-
-    <p>Opaque types (<code>class=H5T_OPAQUE</code>) provide the
-      application with a mechanism for describing data which cannot be 
-      otherwise described by HDF5. The only properties associated with 
-      opaque types are a size in bytes and an ASCII tag which is
-      manipulated with <code>H5Tset_tag()</code> and
-      <code>H5Tget_tag()</code> functions. The library contains no
-      predefined conversion functions but the application is free to
-      register conversions between any two opaque types or between an
-      opaque type and some other type.
-
-    <h2>5. Properties of Compound Types</h2>
-
-    <p>A compound datatype is similar to a <code>struct</code> in C
-      or a common block in Fortran: it is a collection of one or more
-      atomic types or small arrays of such types.  Each
-      <em>member</em> of a compound type has a name which is unique
-      within that type, and a byte offset that determines the first
-      byte (smallest byte address) of that member in a compound datum.
-      A compound datatype has the following properties:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>H5T_class_t H5Tget_class (hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dd>All compound datatypes belong to the type class
-      <code>H5T_COMPOUND</code>.  This property is read-only and is
-      defined when a datatype is created or copied (see
-      <code>H5Tcreate()</code> or <code>H5Tcopy()</code>).
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>size_t H5Tget_size (hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Compound datatypes have a total size in bytes which is
-	returned by this function.  All members of a compound 
-	datatype must exist within this size.  A value of zero is returned
-	for failure; all successful return values are positive.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>int H5Tget_nmembers (hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dd>A compound datatype consists of zero or more members
-	(defined in any order) with unique names and which occupy
-	non-overlapping regions within the datum.  In the functions
-	that follow, individual members are referenced by an index
-	number between zero and <em>N</em>-1, inclusive, where
-	<em>N</em> is the value returned by this function.
-	<code>H5Tget_nmembers()</code> returns -1 on failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>char *H5Tget_member_name (hid_t <em>type</em>, unsigned
-	  <em>membno</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Each member has a name which is unique among its siblings in
-	a compound datatype.  This function returns a pointer to a
-	null-terminated copy of the name allocated with
-	<code>malloc()</code> or the null pointer on failure.  The
-	caller is responsible for freeing the memory returned by this
-	function.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>size_t H5Tget_member_offset (hid_t <em>type</em>, unsigned
-	  <em>membno</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The byte offset of member number <em>membno</em> with
-	respect to the beginning of the containing compound datum is
-	returned by this function.  A zero is returned on failure
-	which is also a valid offset, but this function is guaranteed
-	to succeed if a call to <code>H5Tget_member_class()</code>
-	succeeds when called with the same <em>type</em> and
-	<em>membno</em> arguments.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Tget_member_type (hid_t <em>type</em>, unsigned
-	  <em>membno</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Each member has its own datatype, a copy of which is
-	returned by this function.  The returned datatype identifier
-	should be released by eventually calling
-	<code>H5Tclose()</code> on that type.
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>Properties of members of a compound datatype are
-      defined when the member is added to the compound type (see
-      <code>H5Tinsert()</code>) and cannot be subsequently modified.
-      This makes it imposible to define recursive data structures.

-    <h2>7. Defining Compound Datatypes</h2>
-
-    <p>Unlike atomic datatypes which are derived from other atomic
-      datatypes, compound datatypes are created from scratch. First,
-      one creates an empty compound datatype and specifies it's total
-      size.  Then members are added to the compound datatype in any
-      order.
-
-    <p>Usually a C struct will be defined to hold a data point in
-      memory, and the offsets of the members in memory will be the
-      offsets of the struct members from the beginning of an instance
-      of the struct.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>HOFFSET(s,m)</code>
-      <dd>This macro computes the offset of member <em>m</em> within
-	a struct <em>s</em>.
-      <dt><code>offsetof(s,m)</code>
-      <dd>This macro defined in <code>stddef.h</code> does
-	exactly the same thing as the <code>HOFFSET()</code> macro.
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>Each member must have a descriptive name which is the
-      key used to uniquely identify the member within the compound
-      datatype.  A member name in an HDF5 datatype does not
-      necessarily have to be the same as the name of the member in the
-      C struct, although this is often the case.  Nor does one need to
-      define all members of the C struct in the HDF5 compound 
-      datatype (or vice versa).
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table border align=center width="100%">
-	  <caption align=bottom><h4>Example: A simple struct</h4></caption>
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>
-	      <p>An HDF5 datatype is created to describe complex
-		numbers whose type is defined by the
-		<code>complex_t</code> struct.
-
-	      <p><code><pre>
-typedef struct {
-   double re;   /*real part*/
-   double im;   /*imaginary part*/

-    <p>Member alignment is handled by the <code>HOFFSET</code>
-      macro.  However, data stored on disk does not require alignment,
-      so unaligned versions of compound data structures can be created
-      to improve space efficiency on disk.  These unaligned compound
-      datatypes can be created by computing offsets by hand to
-      eliminate inter-member padding, or the members can be packed by
-      calling <code>H5Tpack()</code> (which modifies a datatype
-      directly, so it is usually preceded by a call to
-      <code>H5Tcopy()</code>):

-    <h2>8. Enumeration Datatypes</h2>
-
-    <h3>8.1. Introduction</h3>
-
-    <p>An HDF enumeration datatype is a 1:1 mapping between a set of
-      symbols and a set of integer values, and an order is imposed on
-      the symbols by their integer values.  The symbols are passed
-      between the application and library as character strings and all
-      the values for a particular enumeration type are of the same
-      integer type, which is not necessarily a native type.
-
-    <h3>8.2. Creation</h3>
-    
-    <p>Creation of an enumeration datatype resembles creation of a
-      compound datatype: first an empty enumeration type is created,
-      then members are added to the type, then the type is optionally
-      locked.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Tcreate(H5T_class_t <em>type_class</em>,
-	  size_t <em>size</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function creates a new empty enumeration datatype based 
-	on a native signed integer type. The first argument is the
-	constant <code>H5T_ENUM</code> and the second argument is the
-	size in bytes of the native integer on which the enumeration
-	type is based. If the architecture does not support a native
-	signed integer of the specified size then an error is
-	returned.
-
-	<pre>
-/* Based on a native signed short */
-hid_t hdf_en_colors = H5Tcreate(H5T_ENUM, sizeof(short));</pre>
-
-
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Tenum_create(hid_t <em>base</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function creates a new empty enumeration datatype based 
-	on some integer datatype <em>base</em> and is a
-	generalization of the <code>H5Tcreate()</code> function.  This 
-	function is useful when creating an enumeration type based on
-	some non-native integer datatype, but it can be used for
-	native types as well.
-
-	<pre>
-/* Based on a native unsigned short */
-hid_t hdf_en_colors_1 = H5Tenum_create(H5T_NATIVE_USHORT);
-
-/* Based on a MIPS 16-bit unsigned integer */
-hid_t hdf_en_colors_2 = H5Tenum_create(H5T_MIPS_UINT16);
-
-/* Based on a big-endian 16-bit unsigned integer */
-hid_t hdf_en_colors_3 = H5Tenum_create(H5T_STD_U16BE);</pre>
-
-
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tenum_insert(hid_t <em>etype</em>, const char
-	  *<em>symbol</em>, void *<em>value</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Members are inserted into the enumeration datatype
-	<em>etype</em> with this function.  Each member has a symbolic 
-	name <em>symbol</em> and some integer representation
-	<em>value</em>.  The <em>value</em> argument must point to a value
-	of the same datatype as specified when the enumeration type
-	was created. The order of member insertion is not important
-	but all symbol names and values must be unique within a
-	particular enumeration type.

-
-
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tlock(hid_t <em>etype</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function locks a datatype so it cannot be modified or
-	freed unless the entire HDF5 library is closed.  Its use is
-	completely optional but using it on an application datatype
-	makes that datatype act like a predefined datatype.

-    <h3>8.3. Integer Operations</h3>
-
-    <p>Because an enumeration datatype is derived from an integer
-      datatype, any operation which can be performed on integer 
-      datatypes can also be performed on enumeration datatypes.  This
-      includes:

-
-    <p>In addition, the new function <code>H5Tget_super()</code> will
-      be defined for all datatypes that are derived from existing
-      types (currently just enumeration types).
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Tget_super(hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>

-	integer type and values but with possibly different symbols.

-    <h3>8.4. Type Functions</h3>
-
-    <p>A small set of functions is available for querying properties
-      of an enumeration type.  These functions are likely to be used
-      by browsers to display datatype information.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>int H5Tget_nmembers(hid_t <em>etype</em>)</code>
-      <dd>When given an enumeration datatype <em>etype</em> this
-	function returns the number of members defined for that
-	type. This function is already implemented for compound 
-	datatypes.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>char *H5Tget_member_name(hid_t <em>etype</em>, unsigned
-	  <em>membno</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Given an enumeration datatype <em>etype</em> this function
-	returns the symbol name for the member indexed by
-	<em>membno</em>. Members are numbered from zero to
-	<em>N</em>-1 where <em>N</em> is the return value from
-	<code>H5Tget_nmembers()</code>. The members are stored in no
-	particular order.  This function is already implemented for
-	compound datatypes.  If an error occurs then the null pointer 
-	is returned.  The return value should be freed by calling
-	<code>free()</code>.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tget_member_value(hid_t <em>etype</em>, unsigned
-	  <em>membno</em>, void *<em>value</em>/*out*/)</code>
-      <dd>Given an enumeration datatype <em>etype</em> this function
-	returns the value associated with the member indexed by
-	<em>membno</em> (as described for
-	<code>H5Tget_member_name()</code>). The value returned
-	is in the domain of the underlying integer
-	datatype which is often a native integer type. The
-	application should ensure that the memory pointed to by
-	<em>value</em> is large enough to contain the result (the size 
-	can be obtained by calling <code>H5Tget_size()</code> on
-	either the enumeration type or the underlying integer type
-	when the type is not known by the C compiler.

-
-    <h3>8.5. Data Functions</h3>
-
-    <p>In addition to querying about the enumeration type properties,
-      an application may want to make queries about enumerated
-      data. These functions perform efficient mappings between symbol
-      names and values.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tenum_valueof(hid_t <em>etype</em>, const char

-      <dd>Given an enumeration datatype <em>etype</em> this function
-      returns through <em>value</em> the bit pattern associated with
-      the symbol name <em>symbol</em>.  The <em>value</em> argument
-      should point to memory which is large enough to hold the result, 
-      which is returned as the underlying integer datatype specified
-      when the enumeration type was created, often a native integer
-      type.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tenum_nameof(hid_t <em>etype</em>, void
-	  *<em>value</em>, char *<em>symbol</em>, size_t
-	  <em>size</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function translates a bit pattern pointed to by
-	<em>value</em> to a symbol name according to the mapping
-	defined in the enumeration datatype <em>etype</em> and stores
-	at most <em>size</em> characters of that name (counting the
-	null terminator) to the <em>symbol</em> buffer. If the name is 
-	longer than the result buffer then the result is not null
-	terminated and the function returns failure. If <em>value</em> 
-	points to a bit pattern which is not in the domain of the
-	enumeration type then the first byte of the <em>symbol</em>
-	buffer is set to zero and the function fails.

-            strcpy(symbol+sizeof(symbol)-4, "...");

-
-    <h3>8.6. Conversion</h3>
-
-    <p>Enumerated data can be converted from one type to another
-      provided the destination enumeration type contains all the
-      symbols of the source enumeration type. The conversion operates
-      by matching up the symbol names of the source and destination
-      enumeration types to build a mapping from source value to
-      destination value.  For instance, if we are translating from an
-      enumeration type that defines a sequence of integers as the
-      values for the colors to a type that defines a different bit for 
-      each color then the mapping might look like this:
-
-    <p><img src="EnumMap.gif" alt="Enumeration Mapping">
-
-    <p>That is, a source value of <code>2</code> which corresponds to
-      <code>BLUE</code> would be mapped to <code>0x0004</code>. The
-      following code snippet builds the second datatype, then
-      converts a raw data array from one datatype to another, and
-      then prints the result.
-
-      <pre>
-/* Create a new enumeration type */
-short val;
-hid_t bits = H5Tcreate(H5T_ENUM, sizeof val);
-H5Tenum_insert(bits, "RED",   (val=0x0001,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(bits, "GREEN", (val=0x0002,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(bits, "BLUE",  (val=0x0004,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(bits, "WHITE", (val=0x0008,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(bits, "BLACK", (val=0x0010,&amp;val));
-
-/* The data */
-short data[6] = {1, 4, 2, 0, 3, 5};
-
-/* Convert the data from one type to another */
-H5Tconvert(hdf_en_colors, bits, 5, data, NULL, plist_id);
-
-/* Print the data */
-for (i=0; i&lt;6; i++) {
-    printf("0x%04x\n", (unsigned)(data[i]));
-}</pre>
-
-        <p>
-        Output:
-	<pre>
-
-0x0002
-0x0010
-0x0004
-0x0001
-0x0008
-0xffff</pre>
-
-    <p>If the source data stream contains values which are not in the
-      domain of the conversion map then an overflow exception is
-      raised within the library, causing the application defined
-      overflow handler to be invoked (see
-      <code>H5Tset_overflow()</code>). If no overflow handler is
-      defined then all bits of the destination value will be set.
-
-    <p>The HDF library will not provide conversions between enumerated 
-      data and integers although the application is free to do so
-      (this is a policy we apply to all classes of HDF datatypes). 
-      However, since enumeration types are derived from
-      integer types it is permissible to treat enumerated data as
-      integers and perform integer conversions in that context.
-
-    <h3>8.7. Symbol Order</h3>
-
-    <p>Symbol order is determined by the integer values associated
-      with each symbol.  When the integer datatype is a native type,
-      testing the relative order of two symbols is an easy process:
-      simply compare the values of the symbols.  If only the symbol
-      names are available then the values must first be determined by
-      calling <code>H5Tenum_valueof()</code>.
-
-      <pre>
-short val1, val2;
-H5Tenum_valueof(hdf_en_colors, "WHITE", &amp;val1);
-H5Tenum_valueof(hdf_en_colors, "BLACK", &amp;val2);
-if (val1 &lt; val2) ...</pre>
-
-    <p>When the underlying integer datatype is not a native type then 
-      the easiest way to compare symbols is to first create a similar
-      enumeration type that contains all the same symbols but has a
-      native integer type (HDF type conversion features can be used to
-      convert the non-native values to native values). Once we have a
-      native type we can compare symbol order as just described.  If
-      <code>foreign</code> is some non-native enumeration type then a
-      native type can be created as follows:
-
-      <pre>
-int n = H5Tget_nmembers(foreign);
-hid_t itype = H5Tget_super(foreign);
-void *val = malloc(n * MAX(H5Tget_size(itype), sizeof(int)));
-char *name = malloc(n * sizeof(char*));
-unsigned u;
-
-/* Get foreign type information */
-for (u=0; u&lt;(unsigned)n; u++) {
-    name[u] = H5Tget_member_name(foreign, u);
-    H5Tget_member_value(foreign, u,
-                        (char*)val+u*H5Tget_size(foreign));
-}
-
-/* Convert integer values to new type */
-H5Tconvert(itype, H5T_NATIVE_INT, n, val, NULL, plist_id);
-
-/* Build a native type */
-hid_t native = H5Tenum_create(H5T_NATIVE_INT);
-for (i=0; i&lt;n; i++) {
-    H5Tenum_insert(native, name[i], ((int*)val)[i]);
-    free(name[i]);
-}
-free(name);
-free(val);</pre>
-
-    <p>It is also possible to convert enumerated data to a new type
-      that has a different order defined for the symbols.  For
-      instance, we can define a new type, <code>reverse</code> that
-      defines the same five colors but in the reverse order.
-
-      <pre>
-short val;
-int i;
-char sym[8];
-short data[5] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};
-
-hid_t reverse = H5Tenum_create(H5T_NATIVE_SHORT);
-H5Tenum_insert(reverse, "BLACK", (val=0,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(reverse, "WHITE", (val=1,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(reverse, "BLUE",  (val=2,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(reverse, "GREEN", (val=3,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(reverse, "RED",   (val=4,&amp;val));
-
-/* Print data */
-for (i=0; i&lt;5; i++) {
-    H5Tenum_nameof(hdf_en_colors, data+i, sym, sizeof sym);
-    printf ("%d %s\n", data[i], sym);
-}
-
-puts("Converting...");
-H5Tconvert(hdf_en_colors, reverse, 5, data, NULL, plist_id);
-
-/* Print data */
-for (i=0; i&lt;5; i++) {
-    H5Tenum_nameof(reverse, data+i, sym, sizeof sym);
-    printf ("%d %s\n", data[i], sym);
-}</pre>
-	
-      <p>
-      Output:
-      <pre>
-0 RED
-1 GREEN
-2 BLUE
-3 WHITE
-4 BLACK
-Converting...
-4 RED
-3 GREEN

-
-    <h3>8.8. Equality</h3>
-
-    <p>The order that members are inserted into an enumeration type is 
-      unimportant; the important part is the associations between the
-      symbol names and the values.  Thus, two enumeration datatypes
-      will be considered equal if and only if both types have the same
-      symbol/value associations and both have equal underlying integer
-      datatypes. Type equality is tested with the
-      <code>H5Tequal()</code> function.
-
-    <h3>8.9. Interacting with C's <code>enum</code> Type</h3>

-    <h4>Creating HDF Types from C Types</h4>
-
-    <p>An HDF enumeration datatype can be created from a C
-      <code>enum</code> type simply by passing pointers to the C
-      <code>enum</code> values to <code>H5Tenum_insert()</code>.  For
-      instance, to create HDF types for the <code>c_en_colors</code>
-      type shown above:

-    <p>
-      <table width="90%" bgcolor="white">
-	<tr>
-	  <td>

-    <h4>Name Changes between Applications</h4>

-    <p>Occassionally two applicatons wish to exchange data but they
-      use different names for the constants they exchange.  For
-      instance, an English and a Spanish program may want to
-      communicate color names although they use different symbols in
-      the C <code>enum</code> definitions. The communication is still
-      possible although the applications must agree on common terms
-      for the colors. The following example shows the Spanish code to
-      read the values assuming that the applications have agreed that
-      the color information will be exchanged using Enlish color
-      names:
-
-    <p>
-      <table width="90%" bgcolor="white">

-
-    <h4>Symbol Ordering across Applications</h4>
-
-    <p>Since symbol ordering is completely determined by the integer values
-      assigned to each symbol in the <code>enum</code> definition,
-      ordering of <code>enum</code> symbols cannot be preserved across
-      files like with HDF enumeration types.  HDF can convert from one
-      application's integer values to the other's so a symbol in one
-      application's C <code>enum</code> gets mapped to the same symbol
-      in the other application's C <code>enum</code>, but the relative
-      order of the symbols is not preserved.
-
-    <p>For example, an application may be defined to use the
-      definition of <code>c_en_colors</code> defined above where
-      <code>WHITE</code> is less than <code>BLACK</code>, but some
-      other application might define the colors in some other
-      order. If each application defines an HDF enumeration type based 
-      on that application's C <code>enum</code> type then HDF will
-      modify the integer values as data is communicated from one
-      application to the other so that a <code>RED</code> value
-      in the first application is also a <code>RED</code> value in the
-      other application.
-
-    <p>A case of this reordering of symbol names was also shown in the 
-      previous code snippet (as well as a change of language), where
-      HDF changed the integer values so 0 (<code>RED</code>) in the
-      input file became 4 (<code>ROJO</code>) in the <code>data</code>
-      array. In the input file, <code>WHITE</code> was less than
-      <code>BLACK</code>; in the application the opposite is true.
-
-    <p>In fact, the ability to change the order of symbols is often
-      convenient when the enumeration type is used only to group
-      related symbols that don't have any well defined order
-      relationship.
-
-    <h4>Internationalization</h4>
-
-    <p>The HDF enumeration type conversion features can also be used
-      to provide internationalization of debugging output.  A program
-      written with the <code>c_en_colors</code> datatype could define 
-      a separate HDF datatype for languages such as English, Spanish, 
-      and French and cast the enumerated value to one of these HDF
-      types to print the result.

-    <p>The main goal of enumeration types is to provide communication

-<h2>9. Variable-length Datatypes</h2>
-
-<h3>9.1. Overview And Justification</h3>
-
-Variable-length (VL) datatypes are sequences of an existing datatype
-(atomic, VL, or compound) which are not fixed in length from one dataset location
-to another.  In essence, they are similar to C character strings -- a sequence of 
-a type which is pointed to by a particular type of <em>pointer</em> -- although 
-they are implemented more closely to FORTRAN strings by including an explicit 
-length in the pointer instead of using a particular value to terminate the 
-sequence.
-
-<p>
-VL datatypes are useful to the scientific community in many different ways,
-some of which are listed below:
-<ul>
-    <li>Ragged arrays: Multi-dimensional ragged arrays can be implemented with
-        the last (fastest changing) dimension being ragged by using a
-        VL datatype as the type of the element stored. (Or as a field in a
-        compound datatype.)
-    <li>Fractal arrays: If a compound datatype has a VL field of another compound
-        type with VL fields (a <em>nested</em> VL datatype), this can be used to
-        implement ragged arrays of ragged arrays, to whatever nesting depth is
-        required for the user.
-    <li>Polygon lists: A common storage requirement is to efficiently store arrays
-        of polygons with different numbers of vertices.  VL datatypes can be
-        used to efficiently and succinctly describe an array of polygons with
-        different numbers of vertices.
-    <li>Character strings: Perhaps the most common use of VL datatypes will be to
-        store C-like VL character strings in dataset elements or as attributes
-        of objects.
-    <li>Indices: An array of VL object references could be used as an index to
-        all the objects in a file which contain a particular sequence of
-        dataset values. Perhaps an array something like the following:
-        <pre>
-            Value1: Object1, Object3,  Object9
-            Value2: Object0, Object12, Object14, Object21, Object22
-            Value3: Object2
-            Value4: &lt;none&gt;
-            Value5: Object1, Object10, Object12
-                .
-                .
-        </pre>
-    <li>Object Tracking: An array of VL dataset region references can be used as
-        a method of tracking objects or features appearing in a sequence of
-        datasets.  Perhaps an array of them would look like:
-        <pre>
-            Feature1: Dataset1:Region,  Dataset3:Region,  Dataset9:Region
-            Feature2: Dataset0:Region,  Dataset12:Region, Dataset14:Region,
-                      Dataset21:Region, Dataset22:Region
-            Feature3: Dataset2:Region
-            Feature4: &lt;none&gt;
-            Feature5: Dataset1:Region,  Dataset10:Region, Dataset12:Region
-                .
-                .
-        </pre>
-</ul>
-
-
-<h3>9.2. Variable-length Datatype Memory Management</h3>
-
-With each element possibly being of different sequence lengths for a
-dataset with a VL datatype, the memory for the VL datatype must be dynamically
-allocated.  Currently there are two methods of managing the memory for 
-VL datatypes: the standard C malloc/free memory allocation routines or a method
-of calling user-defined memory management routines to allocate or free memory.
-Since the memory allocated when reading (or writing) may be complicated to
-release, an HDF5 routine is provided to traverse a memory buffer and free the
-VL datatype information without leaking memory.
-
-
-<h4>Variable-length datatypes cannot be divided</h4>
-
-VL datatypes are designed so that they cannot be subdivided by the library
-with selections, etc.  This design was chosen due to the complexities in
-specifying selections on each VL element of a dataset through a selection API
-that is easy to understand.  Also, the selection APIs work on dataspaces, not
-on datatypes.  At some point in time, we may want to create a way for
-dataspaces to have VL components to them and we would need to allow selections
-of those VL regions, but that is beyond the scope of this document.
-
-
-<h4>What happens if the library runs out of memory while reading?</h4>
-
-It is possible for a call to <code>H5Dread</code> to fail while reading in 
-VL datatype information if the memory required exceeds that which is available.  
-In this case, the <code>H5Dread</code> call will fail gracefully and any 
-VL data which has been allocated prior to the memory shortage will be returned 
-to the system via the memory management routines detailed below.  
-It may be possible to design a <em>partial read</em> API function at a 
-later date, if demand for such a function warrants.
-
-
-<h4>Strings as variable-length datatypes</h4>
-
-Since character strings are a special case of VL data that is implemented
-in many different ways on different machines and in different programming 
-languages, they are handled somewhat differently from other VL datatypes in HDF5.
-
-<p>
-HDF5 has native VL strings for each language API, which are stored the
-same way on disk, but are exported through each language API in a natural way
-for that language.  When retrieving VL strings from a dataset, users may choose
-to have them stored in memory as a native VL string or in HDF5's <code>hvl_t</code> 
-struct for VL datatypes.
-
-<p>
-VL strings may be created in one of two ways: by creating a VL datatype with
-a base type of <code>H5T_NATIVE_ASCII</code>, <code>H5T_NATIVE_UNICODE</code>, 
-etc., or by creating a string datatype and setting its length to 
-<code>H5T_VARIABLE</code>.  The second method is used to access 
-native VL strings in memory.  The library will convert between the two types, 
-but they are stored on disk using different datatypes and have different 
-memory representations.
-
-<p>
-Multi-byte character representations, such as UNICODE or <em>wide</em> 
-characters in C/C++, will need the appropriate character and string datatypes 
-created so that they can be described properly through the datatype API.  
-Additional conversions between these types and the current ASCII characters 
-will also be required.
-
-<p>
-Variable-width character strings (which might be compressed data or some
-other encoding) are not currently handled by this design.  We will evaluate
-how to implement them based on user feedback.
-
-
-<h3>9.3. Variable-length Datatype API</h3>
-
-<h4>Creation</h4>
-
-VL datatypes are created with the <code>H5Tvlen_create()</code> function 
-as follows:
-<dl>
-    <dd><em>type_id</em> = <code>H5Tvlen_create</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>base_type_id</code>);
-</dl>
-
-<p>
-The base datatype will be the datatype that the sequence is composed of,
-characters for character strings, vertex coordinates for polygon lists, etc.
-The base datatype specified for the VL datatype can be of any HDF5 datatype,
-including another VL datatype, a compound datatype, or an atomic datatype.
-
-
-<h4>Query base datatype of VL datatype</h4>
-
-It may be necessary to know the base datatype of a VL datatype before 
-memory is allocated, etc.  The base datatype is queried with the 
-<code>H5Tget_super()</code> function, described in the H5T documentation.
-
-
-<h4>Query minimum memory required for VL information</h4>
-
-It order to predict the memory usage that <code>H5Dread</code> may need 
-to allocate to store VL data while reading the data, the 
-<code>H5Dget_vlen_size()</code> function is provided:
-<dl>
-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> 
-        <code>H5Dget_vlen_buf_size</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>dataset_id</code>, 
-        <em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>,
-        <em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>, 
-        <em>hsize_t</em> *<code>size</code>) 
-</dl>
-        (This function is not implemented in Release 1.2.)
-
-<p>
-This routine checks the number of bytes required to store the VL data from
-the dataset, using the <code>space_id</code> for the selection in the dataset 
-on disk and the <code>type_id</code> for the memory representation of the 
-VL data in memory.  The *<code>size</code> value is modified according to 
-how many bytes are required to store the VL data in memory.
-
-
-<h4>Specifying how to manage memory for the VL datatype</h4>
-
-The memory management method is determined by dataset transfer properties
-passed into the <code>H5Dread</code> and <code>H5Dwrite</code> functions 
-with the dataset transfer property list.  
-
-<p>
-Default memory management is set by using <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code> 
-for the dataset transfer property list identifier.
-If <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code> is used with <code>H5Dread</code>,
-the system <code>malloc</code> and <code>free</code> calls
-will be used for allocating and freeing memory.
-In such a case,  <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code> should also be passed
-as the property list identifier to <code>H5Dvlen_reclaim</code>.
-
-<p>
-The rest of this subsection is relevant only to those who choose 
-<i>not</i> to use default memory management.
-
-<p>
-The user can choose whether to use the 
-system <code>malloc</code> and <code>free</code> calls  or
-user-defined, or custom, memory management functions.
-If user-defined memory management functions are to be used, 
-the memory allocation and free routines must be defined via 
-<code>H5Pset_vlen_mem_manager()</code>, as follows:
-<dl>
-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> 
-        <code>H5Pset_vlen_mem_manager</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>plist_id</code>,
-        <em>H5MM_allocate_t</em> <code>alloc</code>, 
-        <em>void</em> *<code>alloc_info</code>,
-        <em>H5MM_free_t</em> <code>free</code>, 
-        <em>void</em> *<code>free_info</code>)
-</dl>
-
-
-<p>
-The <code>alloc</code> and <code>free</code> parameters 
-identify the memory management routines to be used.
-If the user has defined custom memory management routines,
-<code>alloc</code> and/or <code>free</code> should be set to make 
-those routine calls (i.e., the name of the routine is used as 
-the value of the parameter);  
-if the user prefers to use the system's <code> malloc</code>
-and/or <code>free</code>, the <code>alloc</code> and 
-<code>free</code> parameters, respectively, should be set to 
-<code> NULL</code>
-<p>
-The prototypes for the user-defined functions would appear as follows:
-<dl>
-    <dd><code>typedef</code> <em>void</em> 
-        *(*<code>H5MM_allocate_t</code>)(<em>size_t</em> <code>size</code>, 
-        <em>void</em> *<code>info</code>) ;
-    <dd><code>typedef</code> <em>void</em> 
-        (*<code>H5MM_free_t</code>)(<em>void</em> *<code>mem</code>, 
-        <em>void</em> *<code>free_info</code>) ;
-</dl>
-
-<p>
-The <code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> parameters can be 
-used to pass along any required information to the user's memory management 
-routines.
-
-<p>
-In summary, if the user has defined custom memory management 
-routines, the name(s) of the routines are passed in the 
-<code>alloc</code> and <code>free</code> parameters and the 
-custom routines' parameters are passed in the 
-<code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> parameters.
-If the user wishes to use the system <code> malloc</code> and 
-<code>free</code> functions, the <code>alloc</code> and/or 
-<code>free</code> parameters are set to <code> NULL</code> 
-and the  <code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> 
-parameters are ignored.
-
-<h4>Recovering memory from VL buffers read in</h4>
-
-The complex memory buffers created for a VL datatype may be reclaimed with
-the <code>H5Dvlen_reclaim()</code> function call, as follows:
-<dl>
-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> 
-        <code>H5Dvlen_reclaim</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>, 
-        <em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>, 
-        <em>hid_t</em> <code>plist_id</code>,
-        <em>void</em> *<code>buf</code>);
-</dl>
-
-<p>
-The <code>type_id</code> must be the datatype stored in the buffer, 
-<code>space_id</code> describes the selection for the memory buffer 
-to free the VL datatypes within, 
-<code>plist_id</code> is the dataset transfer property list which 
-was used for the I/O transfer to create the buffer, and 
-<code>buf</code> is the pointer to the buffer to free the VL memory within.  
-The VL structures (<code>hvl_t</code>) in the user's buffer are 
-modified to zero out the VL information after it has been freed.
-
-<p>
-If nested VL datatypes were used to create the buffer, 
-this routine frees them from the bottom up, 
-releasing all the memory without creating memory leaks.
-
-
-<h3>9.4. Code Examples</h3>
-
-The following example creates the following one-dimensional array 
-of size 4 of variable-length datatype.
-<pre>
-          0 10 20 30
-            11 21 31
-               22 32
-                  33
-</pre>
-Each element of the VL datatype is of H5T_NATIVE_UINT type.
-<p>
-The array is stored in the dataset and then read back into memory. 
-Default memory management routines are used for writing the VL data.
-Custom memory management routines are used for reading the VL data and
-reclaiming memory space.

-<h2>10. Array Datatypes</h2>
-
-The array class of datatypes, <code>H5T_ARRAY</code>, allows the 
-construction of true, homogeneous, multi-dimensional arrays.  
-Since these are homogeneous arrays, each element of the array will be 
-of the same datatype, designated at the time the array is created.
-
-<p>
-Arrays can be nested.
-Not only is an array datatype used as an element of an HDF5 dataset,
-but the elements of an array datatype may be of any datatype, 
-including another array datatype.
-
-<p>
-Array datatypes cannot be subdivided for I/O; the entire array must 
-be transferred from one dataset to another. 
-
-<p>
-Within the limitations outlined in the next paragraph, array datatypes 
-may be <em>N</em>-dimensional and of any dimension size.  
-Unlimited dimensions, however, are not supported. 
-Functionality similar to unlimited dimension arrays is available through 
-the use of variable-length datatypes.
-
-<p>
-The maximum number of dimensions, i.e., the maximum rank, of an array
-datatype is specified by the HDF5 library constant <code>H5S_MAX_RANK</code>.
-The minimum rank is 1 (one).
-All dimension sizes must be greater than 0 (zero). 
-
-<p>
-One array dataype may only be converted to another array datatype 
-if the number of dimensions and the sizes of the dimensions are equal 
-and the datatype of the first array's elements can be converted 
-to the datatype of the second array's elements.

-<h3>10.2 Transition Issues in Adapting Existing Software<br>
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
-(Transition to HDF5 Release 1.4 Only)</h3>
-
-The array datatype class is new with Release 1.4;  
-prior releases included an array element for compound datatypes.
-<p>
-The use of the array datatype class will not interfere with the 
-use of existing compound datatypes.  Applications may continue to 
-read and write the older field arrays, but they will no longer be 
-able to create array fields in newly-defined compound datatypes.
-<p>
-Existing array fields will be transparently mapped to array datatypes
-when they are read in.
-
-
-<h3>10.3 Code Example</h3>
-
-The following example creates an array datatype and a dataset 
-containing elements of the array datatype in an HDF5 file.
-It then writes the dataset to the file.

-    <h2>11. Sharing Datatypes among Datasets</h2>
-
-    <p>If a file has lots of datasets which have a common datatype,
-      then the file could be made smaller by having all the datasets
-      share a single datatype.  Instead of storing a copy of the 
-      datatype in each dataset object header, a single datatype is stored
-      and the object headers point to it.  The space savings is
-      probably only significant for datasets with a compound datatype,
-      since the atomic datatypes can be described with just a few
-      bytes anyway.
-
-    <p>To create a bunch of datasets that share a single datatype
-      just create the datasets with a committed (named) datatype.

-    <h2>12. Data Conversion</h2>
-    </a>
-
-    <p>The library is capable of converting data from one type to
-      another and does so automatically when reading or writing the
-      raw data of a dataset, attribute data, or fill values. The
-      application can also change the type of data stored in an array.
-
-    <p>In order to insure that data conversion exceeds disk I/O rates,
-      common data conversion paths can be hand-tuned and optimized for
-      performance.  The library contains very efficient code for
-      conversions between most native datatypes and a few non-native
-      datatypes, but if a hand-tuned conversion function is not
-      available, then the library falls back to a slower but more
-      general conversion function.  The application programmer can
-      define additional conversion functions when the libraries
-      repertoire is insufficient. In fact, if an application does
-      define a conversion function which would be of general interest,
-      we request that the function be submitted to the HDF5
-      development team for inclusion in the library.
-
-    <p><b>Note:</b> The HDF5 library contains a deliberately limited
-      set of conversion routines.  It can convert from one integer
-      format to another, from one floating point format to another,
-      and from one struct to another.  It can also perform byte
-      swapping when the source and destination types are otherwise the
-      same.  The library does not contain any functions for converting
-      data between integer and floating point formats.  It is
-      anticipated that some users will find it necessary to develop
-      float to integer or integer to float conversion functions at the
-      application level; users are invited to submit those functions
-      to be considered for inclusion in future versions of the
-      library.
-
-    <p>A conversion path contains a source and destination datatype
-      and each path contains a <em>hard</em> conversion function
-      and/or a <em>soft</em> conversion function.  The only difference
-      between hard and soft functions is the way in which the library
-      chooses which function applies: A hard function applies to a
-      specific conversion path while a soft function may apply to
-      multiple paths.  When both hard and soft functions apply to a
-      conversion path, then the hard function is favored and when
-      multiple soft functions apply, the one defined last is favored.
-
-    <p>A data conversion function is of type <code>H5T_conv_t</code>,
-	which is defined as follows:
-
-<dir><pre><em>typedef</em> herr_t (<em>*H5T_conv_t</em>) (hid_t <em>src_id</em>, 
-                              hid_t <em>dst_id</em>, 
-                              H5T_cdata_t *<em>cdata</em>,
-                              hsize_t <em>nelmts</em>, 
-                              size_t <em>buf_stride</em>, 
-                              size_t <em>bkg_stride</em>, 
-                              void *<em>buffer</em>, 
-                              void *<em>bkg_buffer</em>,
-                              hid_t <em>dset_xfer_plist</em>);</pre></dir>
-      
-
-    <p>The conversion function is called with 
-      the source and destination datatypes (<em>src_id</em> and 
-          <em>dst_id</em>), 
-      the path-constant data struct (<em>cdata</em>), 
-      the number of instances of the datatype to convert (<em>nelmts</em>), 
-      a conversion buffer (<em>buffer</em>) which initially contains 
-          an array of data having the source type and on return will 
-          contain an array of data having the destination type, 
-      a temporary or background buffer (<em>bkg_buffer</em>, 
-          see description of <code>H5T_BKG_YES</code> below),
-      conversion and background buffer strides (<em>buf_stride</em> and
-          <em>bkg_stride</em>) that indicate what data is to be converted, and
-      a dataset transfer properties list (<em>dset_xfer_plist</em>).  
-
-     <p><em>buf_stride</em> and <em>bkg_stride</em> are in bytes and
-      are related to the size of the datatype.
-      If every data element is to be converted, the parameter's value 
-      is equal to the size of the datatype; 
-      if every other data element is to be converted, the parameter's value
-      is equal to twice the size of the datatype; etc.
-
-     <p><em>dset_xfer_plist</em> may contain properties that are passed
-      to the read and write calls.  
-      This parameter is currently used only with variable-length data.
-
-     <p><em>bkg_buffer</em> and <em>bkg_stride</em> are used only with 
-      compound datatypes.
-
-     <p>The path-constant data struct, <code>H5T_cdata_t</code>, 
-      is declared as follows:
-        
-<dir><pre><em>typedef</em> struct <em>*H5T_cdata_t</em> (H5T_cmd_t <em>command</em>, 
-                             H5T_bkg_t <em>need_bkg</em>, 
-                             hbool_t *<em>recalc</em>,
-                             void *<em>priv</em>)</pre></dir>
-
-    <p>The <code>command</code> field of the <em>cdata</em> argument
-      determines what happens within the conversion function.  It's
-      values can be:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>H5T_CONV_INIT</code>
-      <dd>This command is to hard conversion functions when they're
-	registered or soft conversion functions when the library is
-	determining if a conversion can be used for a particular path.
-	The <em>src_type</em> and <em>dst_type</em> are the end-points
-	of the path being queried and <em>cdata</em> is all zero.  The
-	library should examine the source and destination types and
-	return zero if the conversion is possible and negative
-	otherwise (hard conversions need not do this since they've
-	presumably been registered only on paths they support).  If
-	the conversion is possible the library may allocate and
-	initialize private data and assign the pointer to the
-	<code>priv</code> field of <em>cdata</em> (or private data can
-	be initialized later). It should also initialize the
-	<code>need_bkg</code> field described below.  The <em>buf</em>
-	and <em>background</em> pointers will be null pointers.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>H5T_CONV_CONV</code>
-      <dd>This command indicates that data points should be converted.
-	The conversion function should initialize the
-	<code>priv</code> field of <em>cdata</em> if it wasn't
-	initialize during the <code>H5T_CONV_INIT</code> command and
-	then convert <em>nelmts</em> instances of the
-	<em>src_type</em> to the <em>dst_type</em>. The
-	<em>buffer</em> serves as both input and output.  The
-	<em>background</em> buffer is supplied according to the value
-	of the <code>need_bkg</code> field of <em>cdata</em> (the
-	values are described below).
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>H5T_CONV_FREE</code>
-      <dd>The conversion function is about to be removed from some
-	path and the private data (the
-	<code><em>cdata</em>->priv</code> pointer) should be freed and
-	set to null.  All other pointer arguments are null, the
-	<em>src_type</em> and <em>dst_type</em> are invalid
-	(negative), and the <em>nelmts</em> argument is zero.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><em>Others...</em>
-      <dd>Other commands might be implemented later and conversion
-	functions that don't support those commands should return a
-	negative value.
-    </dl>
-
-
-    <p>Whether a background buffer is supplied to a conversion
-      function, and whether the background buffer is initialized
-      depends on the value of <code><em>cdata</em>->need_bkg</code>
-      which the conversion function should have initialized during the
-      H5T_CONV_INIT command.  It can have one of these values:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>H5T_BKG_NONE</code>
-      <dd>No background buffer will be supplied to the conversion
-	function. This is the default.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>H5T_BKG_TEMP</code>
-      <dd>A background buffer will be supplied but it will not be
-	initialized. This is useful for those functions requiring some
-	extra buffer space as the buffer can probably be allocated
-	more efficiently by the library (the application can supply
-	the buffer as part of the dataset transfer property list).
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>H5T_BKG_YES</code>
-      <dd>An initialized background buffer is passed to the conversion
-	function.  The buffer is initialized with the current values
-	of the destination for the data which is passed in through the
-	<em>buffer</em> argument. It can be used to "fill in between
-	the cracks".  For instance, if the destination type is a
-	compound datatype and we are initializing only part of the
-	compound datatype from the source type then the background
-	buffer can be used to initialize the other part of the
-	destination.
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>The <code>recalc</code> field of <em>cdata</em> is set when the 
-      conversion path table changes. It can be used by conversion
-      function that cache other conversion paths so they know when
-      their cache needs to be recomputed.
-
-
-    <p>Once a conversion function is written it can be registered and
-      unregistered with these functions:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tregister(H5T_pers_t <em>pers</em>, const
-	  char *<em>name</em>, hid_t <em>src_type</em>, hid_t
-	  <em>dest_type</em>, H5T_conv_t <em>func</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Once a conversion function is written, the library must be
-	notified so it can be used.  The function can be registered as
-	a hard (<code>H5T_PERS_HARD</code>) or soft
-	(<code>H5T_PERS_SOFT</code>) conversion depending on the value
-	of <em>pers</em>, displacing any previous conversions for all
-	applicable paths.  The <em>name</em> is used only for
-	debugging but must be supplied.  If <em>pers</em> is
-	<code>H5T_PERS_SOFT</code> then only the type classes of the
-	<em>src_type</em> and <em>dst_type</em> are used. For
-	instance, to register a general soft conversion function that
-	can be applied to any integer to integer conversion one could
-	say: <code>H5Tregister(H5T_PERS_SOFT, "i2i", H5T_NATIVE_INT,
-	H5T_NATIVE_INT, convert_i2i)</code>.  One special conversion
-	path called the "no-op" conversion path is always defined by
-	the library and used as the conversion function when no data
-	transformation is necessary. The application can redefine this 
-	path by specifying a new hard conversion function with a
-	negative value for both the source and destination datatypes, 
-	but the library might not call the function under certain
-	circumstances.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tunregister (H5T_pers_t <em>pers</em>, const
-	  char *<em>name</em>, hid_t <em>src_type</em>, hid_t
-	  <em>dest_type</em>, H5T_conv_t <em>func</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Any conversion path or function that matches the critera
-	specified by a call to this function is removed from the type
-	conversion table. All fields have the same interpretation as
-	for <code>H5Tregister()</code> with the added feature that any
-	(or all) may be wild cards.  The
-	<code>H5T_PERS_DONTCARE</code> constant should be used to
-	indicate a wild card for the <em>pers</em> argument. The wild
-	card <em>name</em> is the null pointer or empty string, the
-	wild card for the <em>src_type</em> and <em>dest_type</em>
-	arguments is any negative value, and the wild card for the
-	<em>func</em> argument is the null pointer.  The special no-op 
-	conversion path is never removed by this function.

-    <p><b>NOTE:</b> The idea of a master soft list and being able to
-      query conversion functions for their abilities tries to overcome
-      problems we saw with AIO.  Namely, that there was a dichotomy
-      between generic conversions and specific conversions that made
-      it very difficult to write a conversion function that operated
-      on, say, integers of any size and order as long as they don't
-      have zero padding.  The AIO mechanism required such a function
-      to be explicitly registered (like
-      <code>H5Tregister_hard()</code>) for each an every possible
-      conversion path whether that conversion path was actually used
-      or not.</p>

-    <h2>7. Enumeration Data Types</h2>
-
-    <h3>7.1. Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>An HDF enumeration data type is a 1:1 mapping between a set of
-      symbols and a set of integer values, and an order is imposed on
-      the symbols by their integer values.  The symbols are passed
-      between the application and library as character strings and all
-      the values for a particular enumeration type are of the same
-      integer type, which is not necessarily a native type.
-
-    <h3>7.2. Creation</h2>
-    
-    <p>Creation of an enumeration data type resembles creation of a
-      compound data type: first an empty enumeration type is created,
-      then members are added to the type, then the type is optionally
-      locked.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Tcreate(H5T_class_t <em>type_class</em>,
-	  size_t <em>size</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function creates a new empty enumeration data type based 
-	on a native signed integer type. The first argument is the
-	constant <code>H5T_ENUM</code> and the second argument is the
-	size in bytes of the native integer on which the enumeration
-	type is based. If the architecture does not support a native
-	signed integer of the specified size then an error is
-	returned.
-
-	<pre>
-/* Based on a native signed short */
-hid_t hdf_en_colors = H5Tcreate(H5T_ENUM, sizeof(short));</pre>
-
-
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Tenum_create(hid_t <em>base</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function creates a new empty enumeration data type based 
-	on some integer data type <em>base</em> and is a
-	generalization of the <code>H5Tcreate()</code> function.  This 
-	function is useful when creating an enumeration type based on
-	some non-native integer data type, but it can be used for
-	native types as well.
-
-	<pre>
-/* Based on a native unsigned short */
-hid_t hdf_en_colors_1 = H5Tenum_create(H5T_NATIVE_USHORT);
-
-/* Based on a MIPS 16-bit unsigned integer */
-hid_t hdf_en_colors_2 = H5Tenum_create(H5T_MIPS_UINT16);
-
-/* Based on a big-endian 16-bit unsigned integer */
-hid_t hdf_en_colors_3 = H5Tenum_create(H5T_STD_U16BE);</pre>
-
-
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tenum_insert(hid_t <em>etype</em>, const char
-	  *<em>symbol</em>, void *<em>value</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Members are inserted into the enumeration data type
-	<em>etype</em> with this function.  Each member has a symbolic 
-	name <em>symbol</em> and some integer representation
-	<em>value</em>.  The <em>value</em> argument must point to a value
-	of the same data type as specified when the enumeration type
-	was created. The order of member insertion is not important
-	but all symbol names and values must be unique within a
-	particular enumeration type.
-
-	<pre>
-short val;
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_en_colors, "RED",   (val=0,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_en_colors, "GREEN", (val=1,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_en_colors, "BLUE",  (val=2,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_en_colors, "WHITE", (val=3,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_en_colors, "BLACK", (val=4,&amp;val));</pre>
-
-
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tlock(hid_t <em>etype</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function locks a data type so it cannot be modified or
-	freed unless the entire HDF5 library is closed.  Its use is
-	completely optional but using it on an application data type
-	makes that data type act like a predefined data type.
-
-	<pre>
-H5Tlock(hdf_en_colors);</pre>
-
-    </dl>
-
-    <h3>7.3. Integer Operations</h2>
-
-    <p>Because an enumeration data type is derived from an integer
-      data type, any operation which can be performed on integer data
-      types can also be performed on enumeration data types.  This
-      includes:
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	  <table>
-	    <tr>
-	      <td><code>H5Topen()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tcreate()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tcopy()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tclose()</code></td>
-	    </tr><tr>
-	      <td><code>H5Tequal()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tlock()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tcommit()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tcommitted()</code></td>
-	    </tr><tr>
-	      <td><code>H5Tget_class()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tget_size()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tget_order()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tget_pad()</code></td>
-	    </tr><tr>
-	      <td><code>H5Tget_precision()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tget_offset()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tget_sign()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tset_size()</code></td>
-	    </tr><tr>
-	      <td><code>H5Tset_order()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tset_precision()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tset_offset()</code></td>
-	      <td><code>H5Tset_pad()</code></td>
-	    </tr><tr>
-	      <td><code>H5Tset_sign()</code></td>
-	    </tr>
-	  </table>
-      </center>
-
-    <p>In addition, the new function <code>H5Tget_super()</code> will
-      be defined for all data types that are derived from existing
-      types (currently just enumeration types).
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Tget_super(hid_t <em>type</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Return the data type from which <em>type</em> is
-	derived. When <em>type</em> is an enumeration data type then
-	the returned value will be an integer data type but not
-	necessarily a native type.  One use of this function would be
-	to create a new enumeration type based on the same underlying
-	integer type and values but with possibly different symbols.
-
-	<pre>
-hid_t itype = H5Tget_super(hdf_en_colors);
-hid_t hdf_fr_colors = H5Tenum_create(itype);
-H5Tclose(itype);
-
-short val;
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_fr_colors, "ouge",  (val=0,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_fr_colors, "vert",  (val=1,&amp;val));

-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_fr_colors, "noir",  (val=4,&amp;val));
-H5Tlock(hdf_fr_colors);</pre>
-    </dl>
-
-    <h3>7.4. Type Functions</h2>
-
-    <p>A small set of functions is available for querying properties
-      of an enumeration type.  These functions are likely to be used
-      by browsers to display data type information.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>int H5Tget_nmembers(hid_t <em>etype</em>)</code>
-      <dd>When given an enumeration data type <em>etype</em> this
-	function returns the number of members defined for that
-	type. This function is already implemented for compound data
-	types.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>char *H5Tget_member_name(hid_t <em>etype</em>, unsigned
-	  <em>membno</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Given an enumeration data type <em>etype</em> this function
-	returns the symbol name for the member indexed by
-	<em>membno</em>. Members are numbered from zero to
-	<em>N</em>-1 where <em>N</em> is the return value from
-	<code>H5Tget_nmembers()</code>. The members are stored in no
-	particular order.  This function is already implemented for
-	compound data types.  If an error occurs then the null pointer 
-	is returned.  The return value should be freed by calling
-	<code>free()</code>.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tget_member_value(hid_t <em>etype</em>, unsigned
-	  <em>membno</em>, void *<em>value</em>/*out*/)</code>
-      <dd>Given an enumeration data type <em>etype</em> this function
-	returns the value associated with the member indexed by
-	<em>membno</em> (as described for
-	<code>H5Tget_member_name()</code>). The value returned
-	is in the domain of the underlying integer
-	data type which is often a native integer type. The
-	application should ensure that the memory pointed to by
-	<em>value</em> is large enough to contain the result (the size 
-	can be obtained by calling <code>H5Tget_size()</code> on
-	either the enumeration type or the underlying integer type
-	when the type is not known by the C compiler.
-
-	<pre>
-int n = H5Tget_nmembers(hdf_en_colors);
-unsigned u;
-for (u=0; u&lt;(unsigned)n; u++) {
-    char *symbol = H5Tget_member_name(hdf_en_colors, u);
-    short val;
-    H5Tget_member_value(hdf_en_colors, u, &amp;val);
-    printf("#%u %20s = %d\n", u, symbol, val);
-    free(symbol);
-}</pre>
-
-	  <p>
-          Output:
-	  <pre>
-#0                BLACK = 4
-#1                 BLUE = 2
-#2                GREEN = 1
-#3                  RED = 0
-#4                WHITE = 3</pre>
-    </dl>
-
-    <h3>7.5. Data Functions</h2>
-
-    <p>In addition to querying about the enumeration type properties,
-      an application may want to make queries about enumerated
-      data. These functions perform efficient mappings between symbol
-      names and values.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Tenum_valueof(hid_t <em>etype</em>, const char 
-	  *<em>symbol</em>, void *<em>value</em>/*out*/)</code>
-      <dd>Given an enumeration data type <em>etype</em> this function
-      returns through <em>value</em> the bit pattern associated with
-      the symbol name <em>symbol</em>.  The <em>value</em> argument

-    <h3>7.6. Conversion</h2>
-
-    <p>Enumerated data can be converted from one type to another
-      provided the destination enumeration type contains all the
-      symbols of the source enumeration type. The conversion operates
-      by matching up the symbol names of the source and destination
-      enumeration types to build a mapping from source value to
-      destination value.  For instance, if we are translating from an
-      enumeration type that defines a sequence of integers as the
-      values for the colors to a type that defines a different bit for 
-      each color then the mapping might look like this:
-
-    <p><img src="EnumMap.gif" alt="Enumeration Mapping">
-
-    <p>That is, a source value of <code>2</code> which corresponds to
-      <code>BLUE</code> would be mapped to <code>0x0004</code>. The
-      following code snippet builds the second data type, then
-      converts a raw data array from one data type to another, and
-      then prints the result.
-
-      <pre>
-/* Create a new enumeration type */
-short val;
-hid_t bits = H5Tcreate(H5T_ENUM, sizeof val);
-H5Tenum_insert(bits, "RED",   (val=0x0001,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(bits, "GREEN", (val=0x0002,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(bits, "BLUE",  (val=0x0004,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(bits, "WHITE", (val=0x0008,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(bits, "BLACK", (val=0x0010,&amp;val));
-
-/* The data */
-short data[6] = {1, 4, 2, 0, 3, 5};
-
-/* Convert the data from one type to another */
-H5Tconvert(hdf_en_colors, bits, 5, data, NULL);
-
-/* Print the data */
-for (i=0; i&lt;6; i++) {
-    printf("0x%04x\n", (unsigned)(data[i]));
-}</pre>
-
-        <p>
-        Output:
-	<pre>
-
-0x0002
-0x0010
-0x0004
-0x0001
-0x0008
-0xffff</pre>
-
-    <p>If the source data stream contains values which are not in the
-      domain of the conversion map then an overflow exception is
-      raised within the library, causing the application defined
-      overflow handler to be invoked (see
-      <code>H5Tset_overflow()</code>). If no overflow handler is
-      defined then all bits of the destination value will be set.
-
-    <p>The HDF library will not provide conversions between enumerated 
-      data and integers although the application is free to do so
-      (this is a policy we apply to all classes of HDF data
-      types). However, since enumeration types are derived from
-      integer types it is permissible to treat enumerated data as
-      integers and perform integer conversions in that context.
-
-    <h3>7.7. Symbol Order</h2>
-
-    <p>Symbol order is determined by the integer values associated
-      with each symbol.  When the integer data type is a native type,
-      testing the relative order of two symbols is an easy process:
-      simply compare the values of the symbols.  If only the symbol
-      names are available then the values must first be determined by
-      calling <code>H5Tenum_valueof()</code>.
-
-      <pre>
-short val1, val2;
-H5Tenum_valueof(hdf_en_colors, "WHITE", &amp;val1);
-H5Tenum_valueof(hdf_en_colors, "BLACK", &amp;val2);
-if (val1 &lt; val2) ...</pre>
-
-    <p>When the underlying integer data type is not a native type then 
-      the easiest way to compare symbols is to first create a similar
-      enumeration type that contains all the same symbols but has a
-      native integer type (HDF type conversion features can be used to
-      convert the non-native values to native values). Once we have a
-      native type we can compare symbol order as just described.  If
-      <code>foreign</code> is some non-native enumeration type then a
-      native type can be created as follows:
-
-      <pre>
-int n = H5Tget_nmembers(foreign);
-hid_t itype = H5Tget_super(foreign);
-void *val = malloc(n * MAX(H5Tget_size(itype), sizeof(int)));
-char *name = malloc(n * sizeof(char*));
-unsigned u;
-
-/* Get foreign type information */
-for (u=0; u&lt;(unsigned)n; u++) {
-    name[u] = H5Tget_member_name(foreign, u);
-    H5Tget_member_value(foreign, u,
-                        (char*)val+u*H5Tget_size(foreign));
-}
-
-/* Convert integer values to new type */
-H5Tconvert(itype, H5T_NATIVE_INT, n, val, NULL);
-
-/* Build a native type */
-hid_t native = H5Tenum_create(H5T_NATIVE_INT);
-for (i=0; i&lt;n; i++) {
-    H5Tenum_insert(native, name[i], ((int*)val)[i]);
-    free(name[i]);
-}
-free(name);
-free(val);</pre>
-
-    <p>It is also possible to convert enumerated data to a new type
-      that has a different order defined for the symbols.  For
-      instance, we can define a new type, <code>reverse</code> that
-      defines the same five colors but in the reverse order.
-
-      <pre>
-short val;
-int i;
-char sym[8];
-short data[5] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4};
-
-hid_t reverse = H5Tenum_create(H5T_NATIVE_SHORT);
-H5Tenum_insert(reverse, "BLACK", (val=0,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(reverse, "WHITE", (val=1,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(reverse, "BLUE",  (val=2,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(reverse, "GREEN", (val=3,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(reverse, "RED",   (val=4,&amp;val));
-
-/* Print data */
-for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
-    H5Tenum_nameof(hdf_en_colors, data+i, sym, sizeof sym);
-    printf ("%d %s\n", data[i], sym);
-}
-
-puts("Converting...");
-H5Tconvert(hdf_en_colors, reverse, 5, data, NULL);
-
-/* Print data */
-for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
-    H5Tenum_nameof(reverse, data+i, sym, sizeof sym);
-    printf ("%d %s\n", data[i], sym);
-}</pre>
-	
-      <p>
-      Output:
-      <pre>
-0 RED
-1 GREEN
-2 BLUE
-3 WHITE
-4 BLACK
-Converting...
-4 RED
-3 GREEN
-2 BLUE
-1 WHITE
-0 BLACK</pre>
-
-    <h3>7.8. Equality</h2>
-
-    <p>The order that members are inserted into an enumeration type is 
-      unimportant; the important part is the associations between the
-      symbol names and the values.  Thus, two enumeration data types
-      will be considered equal if and only if both types have the same
-      symbol/value associations and both have equal underlying integer
-      data types. Type equality is tested with the
-      <code>H5Tequal()</code> function.
-
-    <h3>7.9. Interacting with C's <code>enum</code> Type</h2>
-
-    <p>Although HDF enumeration data types are similar to C
-      <code>enum</code> data types, there are some important

-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td valign=top>Symbols are unquoted in C but quoted in

-	  </tr>

-	      format.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td valign=top>A symbol must appear in only one C
-	      <code>enum</code> type but may appear in multiple HDF

-	    <td valign=top>The translation from symbol to value in HDF 
-	      requires the data type to be specified while in C the
-	      data type is not necessary because it can be inferred
-	      from the symbol.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td valign=top>The underlying integer value is always a
-	      native integer in C but can be a foreign integer type in 
-	      HDF.</td>
-	    <td valign=top>This allows HDF to describe data that might

-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td valign=top>The sign and size of the underlying integer

-	      decision to simplify the library.</td>

-    <h4>Creating HDF Types from C Types</h3>
-
-    <p>An HDF enumeration data type can be created from a C
-      <code>enum</code> type simply by passing pointers to the C
-      <code>enum</code> values to <code>H5Tenum_insert()</code>.  For
-      instance, to create HDF types for the <code>c_en_colors</code>
-      type shown above:
-
-    <p>
-      <table width="90%" bgcolor="white">
-	<tr>
-	  <td>
-	    <code><pre>
-
-c_en_colors val;
-hid_t hdf_en_colors = H5Tcreate(H5T_ENUM, sizeof(c_en_colors));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_en_colors, "RED",   (val=RED,  &amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_en_colors, "GREEN", (val=GREEN,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_en_colors, "BLUE",  (val=BLUE, &amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_en_colors, "WHITE", (val=WHITE,&amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_en_colors, "BLACK", (val=BLACK,&amp;val));</pre></code>
-	  </td>
-	</tr>
-      </table>
-
-    <h4>Name Changes between Applications</h3>
-
-    <p>Occassionally two applicatons wish to exchange data but they
-      use different names for the constants they exchange.  For
-      instance, an English and a Spanish program may want to
-      communicate color names although they use different symbols in
-      the C <code>enum</code> definitions. The communication is still
-      possible although the applications must agree on common terms
-      for the colors. The following example shows the Spanish code to
-      read the values assuming that the applications have agreed that
-      the color information will be exchanged using Enlish color
-      names:
-
-    <p>
-      <table width="90%" bgcolor="white">
-	<tr>
-	  <td>
-	    <code><pre>
-
-c_sp_colors val, data[1000];
-hid_t hdf_sp_colors = H5Tcreate(H5T_ENUM, sizeof(c_sp_colors));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_sp_colors, "RED",   (val=ROJO,   &amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_sp_colors, "GREEN", (val=VERDE,  &amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_sp_colors, "BLUE",  (val=AZUL,   &amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_sp_colors, "WHITE", (val=BLANCO, &amp;val));
-H5Tenum_insert(hdf_sp_colors, "BLACK", (val=NEGRO,  &amp;val));
-

-	  </td>
-	</tr>
-      </table>
-
-
-    <h4>Symbol Ordering across Applications</h3>
-
-    <p>Since symbol ordering is completely determined by the integer values
-      assigned to each symbol in the <code>enum</code> definition,
-      ordering of <code>enum</code> symbols cannot be preserved across
-      files like with HDF enumeration types.  HDF can convert from one
-      application's integer values to the other's so a symbol in one
-      application's C <code>enum</code> gets mapped to the same symbol
-      in the other application's C <code>enum</code>, but the relative
-      order of the symbols is not preserved.
-
-    <p>For example, an application may be defined to use the
-      definition of <code>c_en_colors</code> defined above where
-      <code>WHITE</code> is less than <code>BLACK</code>, but some
-      other application might define the colors in some other
-      order. If each application defines an HDF enumeration type based 
-      on that application's C <code>enum</code> type then HDF will
-      modify the integer values as data is communicated from one
-      application to the other so that a <code>RED</code> value
-      in the first application is also a <code>RED</code> value in the
-      other application.
-
-    <p>A case of this reordering of symbol names was also shown in the 
-      previous code snippet (as well as a change of language), where
-      HDF changed the integer values so 0 (<code>RED</code>) in the
-      input file became 4 (<code>ROJO</code>) in the <code>data</code>
-      array. In the input file, <code>WHITE</code> was less than
-      <code>BLACK</code>; in the application the opposite is true.
-
-    <p>In fact, the ability to change the order of symbols is often
-      convenient when the enumeration type is used only to group
-      related symbols that don't have any well defined order
-      relationship.
-
-    <h4>Internationalization</h3>
-
-    <p>The HDF enumeration type conversion features can also be used
-      to provide internationalization of debugging output.  A program
-      written with the <code>c_en_colors</code> data type could define 
-      a separate HDF data type for languages such as English, Spanish, 
-      and French and cast the enumerated value to one of these HDF
-      types to print the result.

-
-    <p>The main goal of enumeration types is to provide communication

-	  <td valign=top>Two applications shall be able to exchange

-
-	<tr>
-	  <td valign=top><b>Preservation of Order Relationship</b></td>
-	  <td valign=top>The relative order of symbols shall be

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>Debugging HDF5 Applications</h1>
-
-    <h2>Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>The HDF5 library contains a number of debugging features to
-      make programmers' lives easier including the ability to print
-      detailed error messages, check invariant conditions, display
-      timings and other statistics, and trace API function calls and
-      return values.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><b>Error Messages</b>
-      <dd>Error messages are normally displayed automatically on the
-	standard error stream and include a stack trace of the library
-	including file names, line numbers, and function names. The
-	application has complete control over how error messages are
-	displayed and can disable the display on a permanent or
-	temporary basis. Refer to the documentation for the H5E error
-	handling package.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><b>Invariant Conditions</b>
-      <dd>Unless <code>NDEBUG</code> is defined during compiling, the
-	library will include code to verify that invariant conditions
-	have the expected values.  When a problem is detected the
-	library will display the file and line number within the
-	library and the invariant condition that failed.  A core dump
-	may be generated for post mortem debugging. The code to
-	perform these checks can be included on a per-package bases.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><b>Timings and Statistics</b>
-      <dd>The library can be configured to accumulate certain
-	statistics about things like cache performance, datatype
-	conversion, data space conversion, and data filters. The code
-	is included on a per-package basis and enabled at runtime by
-	an environment variable.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><b>API Tracing</b>
-      <dd>All API calls made by an application can be displayed and
-	include formal argument names and actual values and the
-	function return value. This code is also conditionally
-	included at compile time and enabled at runtime.
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>The statistics and tracing can be displayed on any output
-      stream (including streams opened by the shell) with output from
-      different packages even going to different streams.
-
-    <h2>Error Messages</h2>
-
-    <p>By default any API function that fails will print an error
-      stack to the standard error stream.
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table border align=center width="100%">
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>
-	      <p><code><pre>
-
-HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in thread 0.  Back trace follows.
-  #000: H5F.c line 1245 in H5Fopen(): unable to open file
-    major(04): File interface
-    minor(10): Unable to open file
-  #001: H5F.c line 846 in H5F_open(): file does not exist
-    major(04): File interface
-    minor(10): Unable to open file
-	      </code></pre>
-	    </td>
-	  </tr>
-	</table>
-      </center>
-
-    <p>The error handling package (H5E) is described
-      <a href="Errors.html">elsewhere</a>.
-
-    <h2>Invariant Conditions</h2>
-
-    <p>To include checks for invariant conditions the library should
-      be configured with <code>--disable-production</code>, the
-      default for versions before 1.2. The library designers have made
-      every attempt to handle error conditions gracefully but an
-      invariant condition assertion may fail in certain cases.  The
-      output from a failure usually looks something like this:
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table border align=center width="100%">
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>
-	      <p><code><pre>
-
-Assertion failed: H5.c:123: i&lt;NELMTS(H5_debug_g)
-IOT Trap, core dumped.
-	      </code></pre>
-	    </td>
-	  </tr>
-	</table>
-      </center>
-
-    <h2>Timings and Statistics</h2>
-
-    <p>Code to accumulate statistics is included at compile time by
-      using the <code>--enable-debug</code> configure switch. The
-      switch can be followed by an equal sign and a comma-separated
-      list of package names or else a default list is used.

-
-    <p>In addition to including the code at compile time the
-      application must enable each package at runtime.  This is done
-      by listing the package names in the <code>HDF5_DEBUG</code>
-      environment variable. That variable may also contain file
-      descriptor numbers (the default is `2') which control the output
-      for all following packages up to the next file number.  The
-      word <code>all</code> refers to all packages. Any word my be
-      preceded by a minus sign to turn debugging off for the package.

-	      types and spaces is sent to file descriptor 255 which
-	      should be redirected by the shell.</td>
-	  </tr>
-	</table>
-      </center>
-
-    <p>The components of the <code>HDF5_DEBUG</code> value may be
-      separated by any non-lowercase letter.
-
-    <h2>API Tracing</h2>
-
-    <p>The HDF5 library can trace API calls by printing the
-      function name, the argument names and their values, and the
-      return value. Some people like to see lots of output during
-      program execution instead of using a good symbolic debugger, and
-      this feature is intended for their consumption.  For example,
-      the output from <code>h5ls foo</code> after turning on tracing,
-      includes:
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table border align=center width="100%">
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>
-	      <code><pre>
-
-H5Tcopy(type=184549388) = 184549419 (type);
-H5Tcopy(type=184549392) = 184549424 (type);
-H5Tlock(type=184549424) = SUCCEED;
-H5Tcopy(type=184549393) = 184549425 (type);
-H5Tlock(type=184549425) = SUCCEED;
-H5Fopen(filename="foo", flags=0, access=H5P_DEFAULT) = FAIL;
-HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in thread 0.  Back trace follows.
-  #000: H5F.c line 1245 in H5Fopen(): unable to open file
-    major(04): File interface
-    minor(10): Unable to open file
-  #001: H5F.c line 846 in H5F_open(): file does not exist
-    major(04): File interface
-    minor(10): Unable to open file
-	      </pre></code>
-	    </td>
-	  </tr>
-	</table>
-      </center>
-
-    <p>The code that performs the tracing must be included in the
-      library by specifying the <code>--enable-trace</code>
-      configuration switch (the default for versions before 1.2). Then
-      the word <code>trace</code> must appear in the value of the
-      <code>HDF5_DEBUG</code> variable.  The output will appear on the
-      last file descriptor before the word <code>trace</code> or two
-      (standard error) by default.
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table border align=center width="100%">
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>To display the trace on the standard error stream:
-	      <code><pre>
-$ env HDF5_DEBUG=trace a.out
-	      </pre></code>
-	    </td>
-	  </tr>
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>To send the trace to a file:
-	      <code><pre>
-$ env HDF5_DEBUG="55 trace" a.out 55>trace-output
-	      </pre></code>
-	    </td>
-	  </tr>
-	</table>
-      </center>
-
-    <h3>Performance</h3>
-
-    <p>If the library was not configured for tracing then there is no
-      unnecessary overhead since all tracing code is excluded.
-      However, if tracing is enabled but not used there is a small
-      penalty. First, code size is larger because of extra
-      statically-declared character strings used to store argument
-      types and names and extra auto variable pointer in each
-      function.  Also, execution is slower because each function sets
-      and tests a local variable and each API function calls the
-      <code>H5_trace()</code> function.
-
-    <p>If tracing is enabled and turned on then the penalties from the 
-      previous paragraph apply plus the time required to format each
-      line of tracing information.  There is also an extra call to
-      H5_trace() for each API function to print the return value.
-
-    <h3>Safety</h3>
-
-    <p>The tracing mechanism is invoked for each API function before
-      arguments are checked for validity.  If bad arguments are passed 
-      to an API function it could result in a segmentation fault.
-      However, the tracing output is line-buffered so all previous
-      output will appear.
-
-    <h3>Completeness</h3>
-
-    <p>There are two API functions that don't participate in
-      tracing. They are <code>H5Eprint()</code> and
-      <code>H5Eprint_cb()</code> because their participation would
-      mess up output during automatic error reporting.
-
-    <p>On the other hand, a number of API functions are called during
-      library initialization and they print tracing information.
-
-    <h3>Implementation</h3>
-
-    <p>For those interested in the implementation here is a
-      description.  Each API function should have a call to one of the 
-      <code>H5TRACE()</code> macros immediately after the
-      <code>FUNC_ENTER()</code> macro.  The first argument is the
-      return type encoded as a string.  The second argument is the
-      types of all the function arguments encoded as a string.  The
-      remaining arguments are the function arguments.  This macro was
-      designed to be as terse and unobtrousive as possible.
-
-    <p>In order to keep the <code>H5TRACE()</code> calls synchronized
-      with the source code we've written a perl script which gets
-      called automatically just before Makefile dependencies are
-      calculated for the file.  However, this only works when one is
-      using GNU make.  To reinstrument the tracing explicitly, invoke
-      the <code>trace</code> program from the hdf5 bin directory with
-      the names of the source files that need to be updated.  If any
-      file needs to be modified then a backup is created by appending
-      a tilde to the file name.

-      form <code>/*NO TRACE*/</code> somewhere in the function
-      body. Tracing information will not be updated or inserted if
-      such a comment exists.
-
-    <p>Error messages have the same format as a compiler so that they
-      can be parsed from program development environments like
-      Emacs. Any function which generates an error will not be
-      modified.</p>

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>HDF5 Library Environment Variables and Configuration Parameters</h1>
-
-<h2>1. Environment Variables</h2>
-
-The HDF5 library uses UNIX environment variables to control
-or adjust certain library features at runtime.  The variables and 
-their defined effects are as follows:
-
-<dir>
-<dl>
-    <dt><tt>HDF5_DEBUG</tt>
-        <dd>Defines a list of debugging switches documented in the
-            <a href="Debugging.html">Debugging</a> section of the
-            <cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite>.
-
-    <dt><tt>HDF5_NOCLEANUP</tt>
-        <dd>When set to a non-empty value, the programs in the test
-            directory do not remove temporary HDF5 data files.
-            The default is for each test to remove the files before exit.
-
-    <dt><tt>HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK</tt> 
-        <dd>When set to <code>1</code>, HDF5 will not abort when the version
-            of the HDF5 headers doesn't match the version of the HDF5 library.
-
-    <dt><tt>HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES</tt> 
-            &nbsp;&nbsp;(for parallel beta version only)
-        <dd>When set to <code>1</code>, PHDF5 will use the MPI optimized 
-            code to perform parallel read/write accesses to datasets.
-            Currently, this optimization fails when accessing extendable
-            datasets.  The default is not to use the optimized code.
-
-</dl>
-</dir>
-
-<h2>2. Configuration Parameters</h2>
-
-The HDF5 configuration script accepts a list of parameters to control
-configuration features when creating the Makefiles for the library.  
-The command
-<br>
-<code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;configure --help </code>
-<br>
-will display the current list of parameters and their effects.

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>The Error Handling Interface (H5E)</h1>
-
-    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>When an error occurs deep within the HDF5 library a record is
-      pushed onto an error stack and that function returns a failure
-      indication.  Its caller detects the failure, pushes another
-      record onto the stack, and returns a failure indication.  This
-      continues until the application-called API function returns a
-      failure indication (a negative integer or null pointer).  The
-      next API function which is called (with a few exceptions) resets
-      the stack.
-
-    <h2>2. Error Handling Operations</h2>
-
-    <p>In normal circumstances, an error causes the stack to be
-      printed on the standard error stream.  The first item, number
-      "#000" is produced by the API function itself and is usually
-      sufficient to indicate to the application programmer what went
-      wrong.
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table border align=center width="100%">
-	  <caption align=top><h4>Example: An Error Message</h4></caption>
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>
-	      <p>If an application calls <code>H5Tclose</code> on a
-		predefined datatype then the following message is
-		printed on the standard error stream.  This is a
-		simple error that has only one component, the API
-		function; other errors may have many components.
-
-	      <p><code><pre>
-HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in thread 0.  Back trace follows.
-  #000: H5T.c line 462 in H5Tclose(): predefined datatype
-    major(01): Function argument
-    minor(05): Bad value
-	      </code></pre>
-	    </td>
-	  </tr>
-	</table>
-      </center>
-
-    <p>The error stack can also be printed and manipulated by these
-      functions, but if an application wishes make explicit calls to
-      <code>H5Eprint()</code> then the automatic printing should be
-      turned off to prevent error messages from being displayed twice
-      (see <code>H5Eset_auto()</code> below).
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Eprint (FILE *<em>stream</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The error stack is printed on the specified stream. Even if
-	the error stack is empty a one-line message will be printed:
-	<code>HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in thread 0.</code>
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Eclear (void)</code>
-      <dd>The error stack can be explicitly cleared by calling this
-	function.  The stack is also cleared whenever an API function
-	is called, with certain exceptions (for instance,
-	<code>H5Eprint()</code>).
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>Sometimes an application will call a function for the sake of
-      its return value, fully expecting the function to fail.  Under
-      these conditions, it would be misleading if an error message
-      were automatically printed.  Automatic printing of messages is
-      controlled by the <code>H5Eset_auto()</code> function:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Eset_auto (herr_t(*<em>func</em>)(void*),
-	  void *<em>client_data</em>)</code>
-      <dd>If <em>func</em> is not a null pointer, then the function to
-	which it points will be called automatically when an API
-	function is about to return an indication of failure.  The
-	function is called with a single argument, the
-	<em>client_data</em> pointer.  When the library is first
-	initialized the auto printing function is set to
-	<code>H5Eprint()</code> (cast appropriately) and
-	<em>client_data</em> is the standard error stream pointer,
-	<code>stderr</code>.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Eget_auto (herr_t(**<em>func</em>)(void*),
-	  void **<em>client_data</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function returns the current automatic error traversal
-	settings through the <em>func</em> and <em>client_data</em>
-	arguments. Either (or both) arguments may be null pointers in
-	which case the corresponding information is not returned.
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table border align=center width="100%">
-	  <caption align=top><h4>Example: Error Control</h4></caption>
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>
-	      <p>An application can temporarily turn off error
-		messages while "probing" a function.

-void *old_client_data;
-H5Eget_auto(&amp;old_func, &amp;old_client_data);

-	      </code></pre>

-		error messages can be explicitly printed.

-/* Turn off error handling permanently */
-H5Eset_auto (NULL, NULL);

-
-    <p>The application is allowed to define an automatic error
-      traversal function other than the default
-      <code>H5Eprint()</code>.  For instance, one could define a
-      function that prints a simple, one-line error message to the
-      standard error stream and then exits.

-    <p>The <code>H5Eprint()</code> function is actually just a wrapper
-      around the more complex <code>H5Ewalk()</code> function which

-	<em>direction</em>), a pointer to an error description record,

-	is <code>H5E_WALK_UPWARD</code> then traversal begins at the
-	inner-most function that detected the error and concludes with

-    <h3>Overview of Layers</h3>
-
-    <p>This table shows some of the layers of HDF5.  Each layer calls
-      functions at the same or lower layers and never functions at
-      higher layers.  An object identifier (OID) takes various forms
-      at the various layers: at layer 0 an OID is an absolute physical
-      file address; at layers 1 and 2 it's an absolute virtual file
-      address. At layers 3 through 6 it's a relative address, and at
-      layers 7 and above it's an object handle.

-    <h3>Single Address Space</h3>
-
-    <p>The simplest form of hdf5 file is a single file containing only
-      hdf5 data. The file begins with the super block, which is
-      followed until the end of the file by hdf5 data.  The next most
-      complicated file allows non-hdf5 data (user defined data or
-      internal wrappers) to appear before the super block and after the
-      end of the hdf5 data.  The hdf5 data is treated as a single
-      linear address space in both cases.
-
-    <p>The next level of complexity comes when non-hdf5 data is
-      interspersed with the hdf5 data.  We handle that by including
-      the non-hdf5 interspersed data in the hdf5 address space and
-      simply not referencing it (eventually we might add those
-      addresses to a "do-not-disturb" list using the same mechanism as
-      the hdf5 free list, but it's not absolutely necessary).  This is
-      implemented except for the "do-not-disturb" list.
-
-    <p>The most complicated single address space hdf5 file is when we
-      allow the address space to be split among multiple physical
-      files. For instance, a >2GB file can be split into smaller
-      chunks and transfered to a 32 bit machine, then accessed as a
-      single logical hdf5 file.  The library already supports >32 bit
-      addresses, so at layer 1 we split a 64-bit address into a 32-bit
-      file number and a 32-bit offset (the 64 and 32 are
-      arbitrary). The rest of the library still operates with a linear
-      address space.
-
-    <p>Another variation might be a family of two files where all the
-      meta data is stored in one file and all the raw data is stored
-      in another file to allow the HDF5 wrapper to be easily replaced
-      with some other wrapper.
-
-    <p>The <code>H5Fcreate</code> and <code>H5Fopen</code> functions
-      would need to be modified to pass file-type info down to layer 2
-      so the correct drivers can be called and parameters passed to
-      the drivers to initialize them.
-      
-    <h4>Implementation</h4>
-
-    <p>I've implemented fixed-size family members.  The entire hdf5
-      file is partitioned into members where each member is the same
-      size.  The family scheme is used if one passes a name to
-      <code>H5F_open</code> (which is called by <code>H5Fopen()</code>
-      and <code>H5Fcreate</code>) that contains a
-      <code>printf(3c)</code>-style integer format specifier.
-      Currently, the default low-level file driver is used for all
-      family members (H5F_LOW_DFLT, usually set to be Section 2 I/O or
-      Section 3 stdio), but we'll probably eventually want to pass
-      that as a parameter of the file access property list, which
-      hasn't been implemented yet.  When creating a family, a default
-      family member size is used (defined at the top H5Ffamily.c,
-      currently 64MB) but that also should be settable in the file
-      access property list. When opening an existing family, the size
-      of the first member is used to determine the member size
-      (flushing/closing a family ensures that the first member is the
-      correct size) but the other family members don't have to be that
-      large (the local address space, however, is logically the same
-      size for all members).
-
-    <p>I haven't implemented a split meta/raw family yet but am rather
-      curious to see how it would perform. I was planning to use the
-      `.h5' extension for the meta data file and `.raw' for the raw
-      data file.  The high-order bit in the address would determine
-      whether the address refers to meta data or raw data. If the user
-      passes a name that ends with `.raw' to <code>H5F_open</code>
-      then we'll chose the split family and use the default low level
-      driver for each of the two family members.  Eventually we'll
-      want to pass these kinds of things through the file access
-      property list instead of relying on naming convention.
-
-    <h3>External Raw Data</h3>
-
-    <p>We also need the ability to point to raw data that isn't in the
-      HDF5 linear address space.  For instance, a dataset might be
-      striped across several raw data files.
-
-    <p>Fortunately, the only two packages that need to be aware of
-      this are the packages for reading/writing contiguous raw data
-      and discontiguous raw data.  Since contiguous raw data is a
-      special case, I'll discuss how to implement external raw data in
-      the discontiguous case.
-
-    <p>Discontiguous data is stored as a B-tree whose keys are the
-      chunk indices and whose leaf nodes point to the raw data by
-      storing a file address. So what we need is some way to name the
-      external files, and a way to efficiently store the external file
-      name for each chunk.
-
-    <p>I propose adding to the object header an <em>External File
-	List</em> message that is a 1-origin array of file names.
-      Then, in the B-tree, each key has an index into the External
-      File List (or zero for the HDF5 file) for the file where the
-      chunk can be found. The external file index is only used at
-      the leaf nodes to get to the raw data (the entire B-tree is in
-      the HDF5 file) but because of the way keys are copied among
-      the B-tree nodes, it's much easier to store the index with
-      every key.
-
-    <h3>Multiple HDF5 Files</h3>
-
-    <p>One might also want to combine two or more HDF5 files in a
-      manner similar to mounting file systems in Unix.  That is, the
-      group structure and meta data from one file appear as though
-      they exist in the first file.  One opens File-A, and then
-      <em>mounts</em> File-B at some point in File-A, the <em>mount
-      point</em>, so that traversing into the mount point actually
-      causes one to enter the root object of File-B.  File-A and
-      File-B are each complete HDF5 files and can be accessed
-      individually without mounting them.
-
-    <p>We need a couple additional pieces of machinery to make this
-      work.  First, an haddr_t type (a file address) doesn't contain
-      any info about which HDF5 file's address space the address
-      belongs to.  But since haddr_t is an opaque type except at
-      layers 2 and below, it should be quite easy to add a pointer to
-      the HDF5 file.  This would also remove the H5F_t argument from
-      most of the low-level functions since it would be part of the
-      OID.
-
-    <p>The other thing we need is a table of mount points and some
-      functions that understand them.  We would add the following
-      table to each H5F_t struct:
-
-    <p><code><pre>
-struct H5F_mount_t {
-   H5F_t *parent;         /* Parent HDF5 file if any */
-   struct {
-      H5F_t *f;           /* File which is mounted */
-      haddr_t where;      /* Address of mount point */
-   } *mount;              /* Array sorted by mount point */
-   intn nmounts;          /* Number of mounted files */
-   intn alloc;            /* Size of mount table */
-}
-    </pre></code>
-
-    <p>The <code>H5Fmount</code> function takes the ID of an open
-      file or group, the name of a to-be-mounted file, the name of the mount
-      point, and a file access property list (like <code>H5Fopen</code>).
-      It opens the new file and adds a record to the parent's mount
-      table.  The <code>H5Funmount</code> function takes the parent
-      file or group ID and the name of the mount point and disassociates
-      the mounted file from the mount point.  It does not close the 
-      mounted file.  The <code>H5Fclose</code>
-      function closes/unmounts files recursively.
-
-    <p>The <code>H5G_iname</code> function which translates a name to
-      a file address (<code>haddr_t</code>) looks at the mount table
-      at each step in the translation and switches files where
-      appropriate.  All name-to-address translations occur through
-      this function.
-
-    <h3>How Long?</h3>
-
-    <p>I'm expecting to be able to implement the two new flavors of
-      single linear address space in about two days. It took two hours
-      to implement the malloc/free file driver at level zero and I
-      don't expect this to be much more work.
-
-    <p>I'm expecting three days to implement the external raw data for
-      discontiguous arrays.  Adding the file index to the B-tree is
-      quite trivial; adding the external file list message shouldn't
-      be too hard since the object header message class from wich this
-      message derives is fully implemented; and changing
-      <code>H5F_istore_read</code> should be trivial.  Most of the
-      time will be spent designing a way to cache Unix file
-      descriptors efficiently since the total number open files
-      allowed per process could be much smaller than the total number
-      of HDF5 files and external raw data files.
-
-    <p>I'm expecting four days to implement being able to mount one
-      HDF5 file on another.  I was originally planning a lot more, but
-      making <code>haddr_t</code> opaque turned out to be much easier
-      than I planned (I did it last Fri).  Most of the work will
-      probably be removing the redundant H5F_t arguments for lots of
-      functions.
-
-    <h3>Conclusion</h3>
-
-    <p>The external raw data could be implemented as a single linear
-      address space, but doing so would require one to allocate large
-      enough file addresses throughout the file (>32bits) before the
-      file was created.  It would make mixing an HDF5 file family with
-      external raw data, or external HDF5 wrapper around an HDF4 file
-      a more difficult process. So I consider the implementation of
-      external raw data files as a single HDF5 linear address space a
-      kludge.
-
-    <p>The ability to mount one HDF5 file on another might not be a
-      very important feature especially since each HDF5 file must be a
-      complete file by itself.  It's not possible to stripe an array
-      over multiple HDF5 files because the B-tree wouldn't be complete
-      in any one file, so the only choice is to stripe the array
-      across multiple raw data files and store the B-tree in the HDF5
-      file.  On the other hand, it might be useful if one file
-      contains some public data which can be mounted by other files
-      (e.g., a mesh topology shared among collaborators and mounted by
-      files that contain other fields defined on the mesh).  Of course
-      the applications can open the two files separately, but it might
-      be more portable if we support it in the library.
-
-    <p>So we're looking at about two weeks to implement all three
-      versions.  I didn't get a chance to do any of them in AIO
-      although we had long-term plans for the first two with a
-      possibility of the third. They'll be much easier to implement in
-      HDF5 than AIO since I've been keeping these in mind from the
-      start.

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>The File Interface (H5F)</h1>
-
-    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>HDF5 files are composed of a <em>super block</em> describing information
-        required to portably access files on multiple platforms, followed
-        by information about the groups in a file and the datasets in the
-        file.  The super block contains information about the size of offsets
-        and lengths of objects, the number of entries in symbol tables
-        (used to store groups) and additional version information for the
-        file.
-
-    <h2>2. File access modes</h2>
-
-    <p>The HDF5 library assumes that all files are implicitly opened for read
-        access at all times.  Passing the <code>H5F_ACC_RDWR</code>
-        parameter to <code>H5Fopen()</code> allows write access to a
-        file also.  <code>H5Fcreate()</code> assumes write access as
-        well as read access, passing <code>H5F_ACC_TRUNC</code> forces
-        the truncation of an existing file, otherwise H5Fcreate will
-        fail to overwrite an existing file.
-
-    <h2>3. Creating, Opening, and Closing Files</h2>
-
-    <p>Files are created with the <code>H5Fcreate()</code> function,
-      and existing files can be accessed with <code>H5Fopen()</code>. Both
-      functions return an object ID which should be eventually released by
-      calling <code>H5Fclose()</code>.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Fcreate (const char *<em>name</em>, uintn
-	  <em>flags</em>, hid_t <em>create_properties</em>, hid_t
-	  <em>access_properties</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function creates a new file with the specified name in
-        the current directory.  The file is opened with read and write
-        permission, and if the <code>H5F_ACC_TRUNC</code> flag is set,
-        any current file is truncated when the new file is created.
-        If a file of the same name exists and the
-        <code>H5F_ACC_TRUNC</code> flag is not set (or the
-        <code>H5F_ACC_EXCL</code> bit is set), this function will
-        fail.  Passing <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code> for the creation
-        and/or access property lists uses the library's default
-        values for those properties.  Creating and changing the
-        values of a property list is documented further below.  The
-        return value is an ID for the open file and it should be
-        closed by calling <code>H5Fclose()</code> when it's no longer
-        needed. A negative value is returned for failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Fopen (const char *<em>name</em>, uintn
-	  <em>flags</em>, hid_t <em>access_properties</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function opens an existing file with read permission
-	and write permission if the <code>H5F_ACC_RDWR</code> flag is
-	set.  The <em>access_properties</em> is a file access property
-	list ID or <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code> for the default I/O access
-        parameters.  Creating and changing the parameters for access
-        property lists is documented further below.  Files which are opened
-        more than once return a unique identifier for each
-        <code>H5Fopen()</code> call and can be accessed through all
-        file IDs.  The return value is an ID for the open file and it
-        should be closed by calling <code>H5Fclose()</code> when it's
-        no longer needed. A negative value is returned for failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Fclose (hid_t <em>file_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function releases resources used by a file which was
-        opened by <code>H5Fcreate()</code> or <code>H5Fopen()</code>. After
-        closing a file the <em>file_id</em> should not be used again.  This
-        function returns zero for success or a negative value for failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Fflush (hid_t <em>object_id</em>, 
-          H5F_scope_t <em>scope</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function will cause all buffers associated with a file
-	to be immediately flushed to the file.  The <em>object_id</em> 
-	can be any object which is associated with a file, including
-	the file itself.  <em>scope</em> specifies whether the flushing
-        action is to be global or local.
-    </dl>
-
-    <h2>4. File Property Lists</h2>
-
-    <p>Additional parameters to <code>H5Fcreate()</code> or
-        <code>H5Fopen()</code> are passed through property list
-        objects, which are created with the <code>H5Pcreate()</code>
-        function.  These objects allow many parameters of a file's
-        creation or access to be changed from the default values.
-        Property lists are used as a portable and extensible method of
-        modifying multiple parameter values with simple API functions.
-        There are two kinds of file-related property lists,
-	namely file creation properties and file access properties.
-
-    <h3>4.1. File Creation Properties</h3>
-
-    <P>File creation property lists apply to <code>H5Fcreate()</code> only
-      and are used to control the file meta-data which is maintained
-      in the super block of the file.  The parameters which can be
-      modified are:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt>User-Block Size <dd>The <em>user-block</em> is a fixed length block of
-	data located at the beginning of the file which is ignored by the
-	HDF5 library and may be used to store any data information found
-	to be useful to applications.  This value may be set to any power
-	of two equal to 512 or greater (i.e.  512, 1024, 2048, etc).  This
-	parameter is set and queried with the
-	<code>H5Pset_userblock()</code> and
-	<code>H5Pget_userblock()</code> calls.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt>Offset and Length Sizes
-      <dd>The number of bytes used to store the offset and length of
-	objects in the HDF5 file can be controlled with this 
-	parameter.  Values of 2, 4 and 8 bytes are currently
-	supported to allow 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit files to
-	be addressed.  These parameters are set and queried
-	with the <code>H5Pset_sizes()</code> and
-	<code>H5Pget_sizes()</code> calls.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt>Symbol Table Parameters
-      <dd>The size of symbol table B-trees can be controlled by setting
-	the 1/2 rank and 1/2 node size parameters of the B-tree. These
-	parameters are set and queried with the
-	<code>H5Pset_sym_k()</code> and <code>H5Pget_sym_k()</code> calls.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt>Indexed Storage Parameters
-      <dd>The size of indexed storage B-trees can be controlled by
-	setting the 1/2 rank and 1/2 node size parameters of the B-tree.
-	These parameters are set and queried with the
-	<code>H5Pset_istore_k()</code> and <code>H5Pget_istore_k()</code>
-	calls.
-    </dl>
-
-    <h3>4.2. File Access Property Lists</h3>
-
-    <p>File access property lists apply to <code>H5Fcreate()</code> or
-      <code>H5Fopen()</code> and are used to control different methods of
-      performing I/O on files.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt>Unbuffered I/O
-      <dd>Local permanent files can be accessed with the functions described
-	in Section 2 of the Posix manual, namely <code>open()</code>,
-	<code>lseek()</code>, <code>read()</code>, <code>write()</code>, and
-	<code>close()</code>.  The <code>lseek64()</code> function is used
-	on operating systems that support it. This driver is enabled and
-	configured with <code>H5Pset_fapl_sec2()</code>.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt>Buffered I/O
-      <dd>Local permanent files can be accessed with the functions declared
-	in the standard C header file <code>stdio.h</code>, namely
-	<code>fopen()</code>, <code>fseek()</code>, <code>fread()</code>,
-	<code>fwrite()</code>, and <code>fclose()</code>.  The
-	<code>fseek64()</code> function is used on operating systems that
-	support it.  This driver is enabled and configured with
-	<code>H5Pset_fapl_stdio()</code>.
-	
-	<br><br>
-      <dt>Memory I/O
-      <dd>Local temporary files can be created and accessed directly from
-	memory without ever creating permanent storage.  The library uses
-	<code>malloc()</code> and <code>free()</code> to create storage
-	space for the file.  The total size of the file must be small enough
-	to fit in virtual memory.  The name supplied to
-	<code>H5Fcreate()</code> is irrelevant, and <code>H5Fopen()</code>
-	will always fail.
-	
-	<br><br>
-      <dt>Parallel Files using MPI I/O
-      <dd>This driver allows parallel access to a file through the MPI I/O
-	library.  The parameters which can be modified are the MPI
-	communicator, the info object, and the access mode.
-	The communicator and info object are saved and then
-	passed to <code>MPI_File_open()</code> during file creation or open.
-	The access_mode controls the kind of parallel access the application
-	intends.  (Note that it is likely that the next API revision will
-	remove the access_mode parameter and have access control specified
-	via the raw data transfer property list of <code>H5Dread()</code>
-	and <code>H5Dwrite()</code>.)  These parameters are set and queried
-	with the <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpi()</code> and 
-        <code>H5Pget_fapl_mpi()</code> calls.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt>Data Alignment
-      <dd>Sometimes file access is faster if certain things are
-	aligned on file blocks. This can be controlled by setting
-	alignment properties of a file access property list with the
-	<code>H5Pset_alignment()</code> function. Any allocation
-	request at least as large as some threshold will be aligned on 
-	an address which is a multiple of some number.
-    </dl> </ul>

-    <h3>5.1. Example of using file creation property lists</h3>
-    
-    <p>This following example shows how to create a file with 64-bit object
-      offsets and lengths:<br>

-        hid_t create_plist;
-        hid_t file_id;
-

-        hid_t file_id;
-
-        access_plist = H5Pcreate(H5P_FILE_ACCESS);
-        H5Pset_fapl_mpi(access_plist, MPI_COMM_WORLD, MPI_INFO_NULL);
-
-	/* H5Fopen must be called collectively */
-        file_id = H5Fopen("test.h5", H5F_ACC_RDWR, access_plist);
-        .
-        .
-        .
-	/* H5Fclose must be called collectively */
-        H5Fclose(file_id);
-        </pre>
-        
-
-    <h2>6. Low-level File Drivers</h2>
-
-    <p>HDF5 is able to access its address space through various types of
-      low-level <em>file drivers</em>.  For instance, an address space might
-      correspond to a single file on a Unix file system, multiple files on a
-      Unix file system, multiple files on a parallel file system, or a block
-      of memory within the application. Generally, an HDF5 address space is
-      referred to as an <em>HDF5 file</em> regardless of how the space is organized
-      at the storage level.
-
-    <h3>6.1. Unbuffered Permanent Files</h3>
-
-    <p>The <em>sec2</em> driver uses functions from section 2 of the
-      Posix manual to access files stored on a local file system.  These are
-      the <code>open()</code>, <code>close()</code>, <code>read()</code>,
-      <code>write()</code>, and <code>lseek()</code> functions.  If the
-      operating system supports <code>lseek64()</code> then it is used instead
-      of <code>lseek()</code>.  The library buffers meta data regardless of
-      the low-level driver, but using this driver prevents data from being
-      buffered again by the lowest layers of the HDF5 library.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Pget_driver (hid_t <em>access_properties</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function returns the constant <code>H5FD_SEC2</code> if the
-	<em>sec2</em> driver is defined as the low-level driver for the
-	specified access property list.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_fapl_sec2 
-          (hid_t <em>access_properties</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The file access properties are set to use the <em>sec2</em>
-	driver. Any previously defined driver properties are erased from the
-	property list.  Additional parameters may be added to this function in
-	the future.
-
-    </dl>
-
-    <h3>6.2. Buffered Permanent Files</h3>
-
-    <p>The <em>stdio</em> driver uses the functions declared in the
-      <code>stdio.h</code> header file to access permanent files in a local
-      file system.  These are the <code>fopen()</code>, <code>fclose()</code>,
-      <code>fread()</code>, <code>fwrite()</code>, and <code>fseek()</code>
-      functions.  If the operating system supports <code>fseek64()</code> then
-      it is used instead of <code>fseek()</code>. Use of this driver
-      introduces an additional layer of buffering beneath the HDF5 library.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Pget_driver(hid_t <em>access_properties</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function returns the constant <code>H5FD_STDIO</code> if the
-	<em>stdio</em> driver is defined as the low-level driver for the
-	specified access property list.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_fapl_stdio 
-          (hid_t <em>access_properties</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The file access properties are set to use the <em>stdio</em>
-	driver.  Any previously defined driver properties are erased from the
-	property list.  Additional parameters may be added to this function in
-	the future.
-
-    </dl>
-
-    <h3>6.3. Buffered Temporary Files</h3>
-
-    <p>The <em>core</em> driver uses <code>malloc()</code> and
-      <code>free()</code> to allocate space for a file in the heap. Reading
-      and writing to a file of this type results in mem-to-mem copies instead
-      of disk I/O and as a result is somewhat faster.  However, the total file
-      size must not exceed the amount of available virtual memory, and only
-      one HDF5 file handle can access the file (because the name of such a
-      file is insignificant and <code>H5Fopen()</code> always fails).
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Pget_driver (hid_t <em>access_properties</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function returns the constant <code>H5FD_CORE</code> if the
-	<em>core</em> driver is defined as the low-level driver for the
-	specified access property list.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_fapl_core (hid_t <em>access_properties</em>, 
-          size_t <em>block_size</em>, 
-          hbool_t <em>backing_store</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The file access properties are set to use the <em>core</em>
-	driver and any previously defined driver properties are erased from
-	the property list.  Memory for the file will always be allocated in
-	units of the specified <em>block_size</em>.  Additional parameters may
-	be added to this function in the future.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pget_fapl_core (hid_t <em>access_properties</em>, 
-          size_t *<em>block_size</em>),
-          hbool_t *<em>backing_store</em>)</code>
-      <dd>If the file access property list is set to the <em>core</em> driver
-	then this function returns zero and <em>block_size</em> is set to the
-	block size used for the file; otherwise it returns a negative
-	value. In the future, additional arguments may be added to this
-	function to match those added to <code>H5Pset_fapl_core()</code>.
-    </dl>
-
-    <h3>6.4. Parallel Files</h3>
-
-    <p>This driver uses MPI I/O to provide parallel access to a file.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Pget_driver (hid_t <em>access_properties</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function returns the constant <code>H5FD_MPI</code> if the

-	specified access property list.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_fapl_mpi (hid_t <em>access_properties</em>, MPI_Comm
-	  <em>comm</em>, MPI_info <em>info</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The file access properties are set to use the <em>mpi</em>
-	driver and any previously defined driver properties are erased from
-	the property list.  Additional parameters may be added to this
-	function in the future.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pget_fapl_mpi 
-          (hid_t <em>access_properties</em>, 
-	  MPI_Comm *<em>comm</em>, 
-          MPI_info *<em>info</em>)</code>
-      <dd>If the file access property list is set to the <em>mpi</em> driver
-	then this function returns zero and <em>comm</em>, and <em>info</em>
-	are set to the values stored in the property
-	list; otherwise the function returns a negative value. In the future,
-	additional arguments may be added to this function to match those
-	added to <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpi()</code>.

-    <a name="Files_Families">
-    <h3>6.5. File Families</h3>
-    </a>
-
-    <p>A single HDF5 address space may be split into multiple files which,
-      together, form a file family.  Each member of the family must be the
-      same logical size although the size and disk storage reported by
-      <code>ls</code>(1) may be substantially smaller.  The name passed to
-      <code>H5Fcreate()</code> or <code>H5Fopen()</code> should include a
-      <code>printf(3c)</code> style integer format specifier which will be
-      replaced with the family member number (the first family member is
-      zero).
-
-    <p>Any HDF5 file can be split into a family of files by running
-      the file through <code>split</code>(1) and numbering the output
-      files.  However, because HDF5 is lazy about extending the size
-      of family members, a valid file cannot generally be created by
-      concatenation of the family members.  Additionally,
-      <code>split</code> and <code>cat</code> don't attempt to
-      generate files with holes.  The <code>h5repart</code> program
-      can be used to repartition an HDF5 file or family into another
-      file or family and preserves holes in the files.
-
-    <dl>

-      <dd>This program repartitions an HDF5 file by copying the source
-	file or family to the destination file or family preserving
-	holes in the underlying Unix files.  Families are used for the
-	source and/or destination if the name includes a
-	<code>printf</code>-style integer format such as "%d".  The
-	<code>-v</code> switch prints input and output file names on
-	the standard error stream for progress monitoring,
-	<code>-b</code> sets the I/O block size (the default is 1kB),
-	and <code>-m</code> sets the output member size if the
-	destination is a family name (the default is 1GB).  The block
-	and member sizes may be suffixed with the letters
-	<code>g</code>, <code>m</code>, or <code>k</code> for GB, MB,

-	from the property list.  Each member of the file family will
-	use <em>member_properties</em> as its file access property
-	list. The <em>memb_size</em> argument gives the logical size
-	in bytes of each family member but the actual size could be
-	smaller depending on whether the file contains holes.  The
-	member size is only used when creating a new file or
-	truncating an existing file; otherwise the member size comes
-	from the size of the first member of the family being
-	opened. Note: if the size of the <code>off_t</code> type is
-	four bytes then the maximum family member size is usually
-	2^31-1 because the byte at offset 2,147,483,647 is generally

-	<code>H5Pclose()</code> when the application is finished with

-
-    <h3>6.6. Split Meta/Raw Files</h3>
-
-    <p>On occasion, it might be useful to separate meta data from raw
-      data. The <em>split</em> driver does this by creating two files: one for
-      meta data and another for raw data.  The application provides a base
-      file name to <code>H5Fcreate()</code> or <code>H5Fopen()</code> and this
-      driver appends a file extension which defaults to <code>.meta</code> for 
-      the meta data file and <code>.raw</code> for the raw data file.  
-      Each file can have its own
-      file access property list which allows, for instance, a split file with
-      meta data stored with the <em>core</em> driver and raw data stored with
-      the <em>sec2</em> driver.
-
-    <dl>

-
-    <b>Note: Transient pipelines described in this document have not

-
-    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>HDF5 allows chunked data<sup><a href="#fn1">1</a></sup> 
-      to pass through user-defined filters
-      on the way to or from disk.  The filters operate on chunks of an
-      <code>H5D_CHUNKED</code> dataset can be arranged in a pipeline
-      so output of one filter becomes the input of the next filter.
-
-    <p>Each filter has a two-byte identification number (type
-      <code>H5Z_filter_t</code>) allocated by NCSA and can also be
-      passed application-defined integer resources to control its
-      behavior.  Each filter also has an optional ASCII comment
-      string.

-
-    <h2>2. Defining and Querying the Filter Pipeline</h2>
-
-    <p>Two types of filters can be applied to raw data I/O: permanent
-      filters and transient filters.  The permanent filter pipeline is
-      defned when the dataset is created while the transient pipeline
-      is defined for each I/O operation.  During an
-      <code>H5Dwrite()</code> the transient filters are applied first
-      in the order defined and then the permanent filters are applied
-      in the order defined.  For an <code>H5Dread()</code> the
-      opposite order is used: permanent filters in reverse order, then
-      transient filters in reverse order.  An <code>H5Dread()</code>
-      must result in the same amount of data for a chunk as the
-      original <code>H5Dwrite()</code>.
-
-    <p>The permanent filter pipeline is defined by calling
-      <code>H5Pset_filter()</code> for a dataset creation property
-      list while the transient filter pipeline is defined by calling
-      that function for a dataset transfer property list.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_filter (hid_t <em>plist</em>,
-	  H5Z_filter_t <em>filter</em>, unsigned int <em>flags</em>,
-	  size_t <em>cd_nelmts</em>, const unsigned int
-	  <em>cd_values</em>[])</code>
-      <dd>This function adds the specified <em>filter</em> and
-	corresponding properties to the end of the transient or
-	permanent output filter pipeline (depending on whether
-	<em>plist</em> is a dataset creation or dataset transfer
-	property list).  The <em>flags</em> argument specifies certain
-	general properties of the filter and is documented below. The
-	<em>cd_values</em> is an array of <em>cd_nelmts</em> integers
-	which are auxiliary data for the filter.  The integer values
-	will be stored in the dataset object header as part of the
-	filter information.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>int H5Pget_nfilters (hid_t <em>plist</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function returns the number of filters defined in the
-	permanent or transient filter pipeline depending on whether
-	<em>plist</em> is a dataset creation or dataset transfer
-	property list.  In each pipeline the filters are numbered from
-	0 through <em>N</em>-1 where <em>N</em> is the value returned
-	by this function. During output to the file the filters of a
-	pipeline are applied in increasing order (the inverse is true
-	for input).  Zero is returned if there are no filters in the
-	pipeline and a negative value is returned for errors.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>H5Z_filter_t H5Pget_filter (hid_t <em>plist</em>,
-	  int <em>filter_number</em>, unsigned int *<em>flags</em>,
-	  size_t *<em>cd_nelmts</em>, unsigned int
-	  *<em>cd_values</em>, size_t namelen, char name[])</code>
-      <dd>This is the query counterpart of
-	<code>H5Pset_filter()</code> and returns information about a
-	particular filter number in a permanent or transient pipeline
-	depending on whether <em>plist</em> is a dataset creation or
-	dataset transfer property list.  On input, <em>cd_nelmts</em>
-	indicates the number of entries in the <em>cd_values</em>
-	array allocated by the caller while on exit it contains the
-	number of values defined by the filter.  The
-	<em>filter_number</em> should be a value between zero and
-	<em>N</em>-1 as described for <code>H5Pget_nfilters()</code>
-	and the function will return failure (a negative value) if the
-	filter number is out of range.  If <em>name</em> is a pointer
-	to an array of at least <em>namelen</em> bytes then the filter 
-	name will be copied into that array.  The name will be null
-	terminated if the <em>namelen</em> is large enough.  The
-	filter name returned will be the name appearing in the file or 
-	else the name registered for the filter or else an empty string.
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>The flags argument to the functions above is a bit vector of
-      the following fields:
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table align=center width="80%">

-	    <th width="70%">Description</th>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr valign=top>
-	    <td><code>H5Z_FLAG_OPTIONAL</code></td>
-	    <td>If this bit is set then the filter is optional.  If
-	      the filter fails (see below) during an
-	      <code>H5Dwrite()</code> operation then the filter is
-	      just excluded from the pipeline for the chunk for which
-	      it failed; the filter will not participate in the
-	      pipeline during an <code>H5Dread()</code> of the chunk.
-	      This is commonly used for compression filters: if the
-	      compression result would be larger than the input then
-	      the compression filter returns failure and the
-	      uncompressed data is stored in the file.  If this bit is
-	      clear and a filter fails then the
-	      <code>H5Dwrite()</code> or <code>H5Dread()</code> also
-	      fails.</td>
-	  </tr>
-	</table>
-      </center>
-
-    <h2>3. Defining Filters</h2>
-
-    <p>Each filter is bidirectional, handling both input and output to 
-      the file, and a flag is passed to the filter to indicate the
-      direction.  In either case the filter reads a chunk of data from 
-      a buffer, usually performs some sort of transformation on the
-      data, places the result in the same or new buffer, and returns
-      the buffer pointer and size to the caller. If something goes
-      wrong the filter should return zero to indicate a failure.
-
-    <p>During output, a filter that fails or isn't defined and is
-      marked as optional is silently excluded from the pipeline and
-      will not be used when reading that chunk of data.  A required
-      filter that fails or isn't defined causes the entire output
-      operation to fail. During input, any filter that has not been
-      excluded from the pipeline during output and fails or is not
-      defined will cause the entire input operation to fail.
-
-    <p>Filters are defined in two phases.  The first phase is to
-      define a function to act as the filter and link the function
-      into the application.  The second phase is to register the
-      function, associating the function with an
-      <code>H5Z_filter_t</code> identification number and a comment.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>typedef size_t (*H5Z_func_t)(unsigned int
-	  <em>flags</em>, size_t <em>cd_nelmts</em>, const unsigned int
-	  <em>cd_values</em>[], size_t <em>nbytes</em>, size_t
-	  *<em>buf_size</em>, void **<em>buf</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The <em>flags</em>, <em>cd_nelmts</em>, and
-	<em>cd_values</em> are the same as for the
-	<code>H5Pset_filter()</code> function with the additional flag
-	<code>H5Z_FLAG_REVERSE</code> which is set when the filter is
-	called as part of the input pipeline. The input buffer is
-	pointed to by <em>*buf</em> and has a total size of
-	<em>*buf_size</em> bytes but only <em>nbytes</em> are valid
-	data. The filter should perform the transformation in place if
-	possible and return the number of valid bytes or zero for
-	failure.  If the transformation cannot be done in place then
-	the filter should allocate a new buffer with
-	<code>malloc()</code> and assign it to <em>*buf</em>,
-	assigning the allocated size of that buffer to
-	<em>*buf_size</em>. The old buffer should be freed
-	by calling <code>free()</code>.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Zregister (H5Z_filter_t <em>filter_id</em>,
-	  const char *<em>comment</em>, H5Z_func_t
-	  <em>filter</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The <em>filter</em> function is associated with a filter
-	number and a short ASCII comment which will be stored in the
-	hdf5 file if the filter is used as part of a permanent
-	pipeline during dataset creation.
-    </dl>
-    
-      
-    <h2>4. Predefined Filters</h2>
-
-    <p>If <code>zlib</code> version 1.1.2 or later was found
-      during configuration then the library will define a filter whose
-      <code>H5Z_filter_t</code> number is
-      <code>H5Z_FILTER_DEFLATE</code>. Since this compression method
-      has the potential for generating compressed data which is larger
-      than the original, the <code>H5Z_FLAG_OPTIONAL</code> flag
-      should be turned on so such cases can be handled gracefully by
-      storing the original data instead of the compressed data.  The
-      <em>cd_nvalues</em> should be one with <em>cd_value[0]</em>
-      being a compression agression level between zero and nine,
-      inclusive (zero is the fastest compression while nine results in
-      the best compression ratio).
-
-    <p>A convenience function for adding the
-      <code>H5Z_FILTER_DEFLATE</code> filter to a pipeline is:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pset_deflate (hid_t <em>plist</em>, unsigned
-	  <em>aggression</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The deflate compression method is added to the end of the
-	permanent or transient filter pipeline depending on whether
-	<em>plist</em> is a dataset creation or dataset transfer
-	property list. The <em>aggression</em> is a number between
-	zero and nine (inclusive) to indicate the tradeoff between
-	speed and compression ratio (zero is fastest, nine is best
-	ratio).
-    </dl>
-
-    <p>Even if the <code>zlib</code> isn't detected during
-      configuration the application can define
-      <code>H5Z_FILTER_DEFLATE</code> as a permanent filter.  If the
-      filter is marked as optional (as with
-      <code>H5Pset_deflate()</code>) then it will always fail and be
-      automatically removed from the pipeline.  Applications that read
-      data will fail only if the data is actually compressed; they
-      won't fail if <code>H5Z_FILTER_DEFLATE</code> was part of the
-      permanent output pipeline but was automatically excluded because
-      it didn't exist when the data was written.
-
-    <p><code>zlib</code> can be acquired from 
-      <code><a href="http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/">http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/</a></code>.
-
-    <h2>5. Example</h2>
-
-    <p>This example shows how to define and register a simple filter
-      that adds a checksum capability to the data stream.
-
-    <p>The function that acts as the filter always returns zero
-      (failure) if the <code>md5()</code> function was not detected at 
-      configuration time (left as an excercise for the reader).
-      Otherwise the function is broken down to an input and output
-      half.  The output half calculates a checksum, increases the size 
-      of the output buffer if necessary, and appends the checksum to
-      the end of the buffer.  The input half calculates the checksum
-      on the first part of the buffer and compares it to the checksum
-      already stored at the end of the buffer.  If the two differ then 
-      zero (failure) is returned, otherwise the buffer size is reduced 
-      to exclude the checksum.

-      layer (usually as a result of <code>configure
-      --enable-debug=z</code>) then filter statistics are printed when
-      the application exits normally or the library is closed.  The
-      statistics are written to the standard error stream and include
-      two lines for each filter that was used: one for input and one
-      for output.  The following fields are displayed:

-<DT><B><a name="Glossary-PListFileAccess">file access property list</a></B>
-<DD>File access property lists are used to control different methods 
-    of performing I/O on files:
-<!--
-    <UL>
-    <B>Unbuffered I/O:</B> Local permanent files can be accessed with the 
-       functions described in Section 2 of the Posix manual, namely open(), 
-       lseek(), read(), write(), and close(). <BR>
-    <B>Buffered I/O:</B> Local permanent files can be accessed with the 
-       functions declared in the stdio.h header file, namely fopen(), 
-       fseek(), fread(), fwrite(), and fclose().<BR>
-    <B>Memory I/O:</B> Local temporary files can be created and accessed 
-       directly from memory without ever creating permanent storage. 
-       The library uses malloc() and free() to create storage space for the 
-       file<BR>
-    <B>Parallel Files using MPI I/O:</B> This driver allows parallel access 
-       to a file through the MPI I/O library. The parameters which can be 
-       modified are the MPI communicator, the info object, and the access mode.
-       The communicator and info object are saved and then passed to 
-       MPI_File_open() during file creation or open. The access_mode 
-       controls the kind of parallel access the application intends.<BR> 
-    <B>Data Alignment:</B> Sometimes file access is faster if certain things 
-       are aligned on file blocks. This can be controlled by setting alignment
-       properties of a file access property list with the H5Pset_alignment() 
-       function.

-       of data located at the beginning of the file which is ignored 
-       by the HDF5 library and may be used to store any data information 
-       found to be useful to applications. 
-    <BR>
-    <B>Offset and Length Sizes:</B> The number of bytes used to store the
-       offset and length of objects in the HDF5 file can be controlled 
-       with this parameter. 
-    <BR>
-    <b>Symbol Table Parameters:</b> The size of symbol table B-trees can 
-       be controlled by setting the 1/2 rank and 1/2 node size 
-       parameters of the B-tree. 
-    <BR>
-    <B>Indexed Storage Parameters:</B> The size of indexed storage

-<DT><B>threadsafe</B>
-<DD>A "thread-safe" version of HDF-5 (TSHDF5) is one that can be called 
-    from any thread of a multi-threaded program. Any calls to HDF
-    can be made in any order, and each individual HDF call will perform 
-    correctly. A calling program does not have to explicitly lock the HDF
-    library in order to do I/O. Applications programmers may assume that 
-    the TSHDF5 guarantees the following: 
-    <UL>
-        <LI>the HDF-5 library does not create or destroy threads. 
-        <LI>the HDF-5 library uses modest amounts of per-thread 
-          private memory. 
-        <LI>the HDF-5 library only locks/unlocks it's own locks (no locks 
-          are passed in or returned from HDF), and the internal locking 
-          is guaranteed to be deadlock free. 
-    </UL>
-    <P>
-    These properties mean that the TSHDF5 library will not interfere 
-    with an application's use of threads. A TSHDF5 library is the same
-    library as regular HDF-5 library, with additional code to synchronize 
-    access to the HDF-5 library's internal data structures.

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>The Group Interface (H5G)</h1>
-
-    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>An object in HDF5 consists of an object header at a fixed file
-      address that contains messages describing various properties of
-      the object such as its storage location, layout, compression,
-      etc. and some of these messages point to other data such as the
-      raw data of a dataset. The address of the object header is also
-      known as an <em>OID</em> and HDF5 has facilities for translating
-      names to OIDs.
-
-    <p>Every HDF5 object has at least one name and a set of names can
-      be stored together in a group.  Each group implements a name
-      space where the names are any length and unique with respect to
-      other names in the group.
-
-    <p>Since a group is a type of HDF5 object it has an object header
-      and a name which exists as a member of some other group. In this
-      way, groups can be linked together to form a directed graph.
-      One particular group is called the <em>Root Group</em> and is
-      the group to which the HDF5 file super block points.  Its name is
-      "/" by convention.  The <em>full name</em> of an object is
-      created by joining component names with slashes much like Unix.
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<img alt="Group Graph Example" src="group_p1.gif">
-      </center>
-
-    <p>However, unlike Unix which arranges directories hierarchically,
-      HDF5 arranges groups in a directed graph.  Therefore, there is
-      no ".." entry in a group since a group can have more than one
-      parent. There is no "." entry either but the library understands
-      it internally.
-
-    <h2>2. Names</h2>
-
-    <p>HDF5 places few restrictions on names: component names may be
-      any length except zero and may contain any character except
-      slash ("/") and the null terminator.  A full name may be
-      composed of any number of component names separated by slashes,
-      with any of the component names being the special name ".".  A
-      name which begins with a slash is an <em>absolute</em> name
-      which is looked up beginning at the root group of the file while
-      all other <em>relative</em> names are looked up beginning at the
-      specified group.
-      Multiple consecutive slashes in a full name are treated as
-      single slashes and trailing slashes are not significant.  A
-      special case is the name "/" (or equivalent) which refers to the
-      root group.
-
-    <p>Functions which operate on names generally take a location
-      identifier which is either a file ID or a group ID and perform
-      the lookup with respect to that location.  Some possibilities
-      are:
-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<table border cellpadding=4>
-	  <tr>
-	    <th>Location Type</th>
-	    <th>Object Name</th>
-	    <th>Description</th>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>File ID</td>
-	    <td><code>/foo/bar</code></td>
-	    <td>The object <code>bar</code> in group <code>foo</code>
-	      in the root group.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>Group ID</td>
-	    <td><code>/foo/bar</code></td>
-	    <td>The object <code>bar</code> in group <code>foo</code>
-	      in the root group of the file containing the specified
-	      group.  In other words, the group ID's only purpose is
-	      to supply a file.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>File ID</td>
-	    <td><code>/</code></td>
-	    <td>The root group of the specified file.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>Group ID</td>
-	    <td><code>/</code></td>
-	    <td>The root group of the file containing the specified
-	      group.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>File ID</td>
-	    <td><code>foo/bar</code></td>
-	    <td>The object <code>bar</code> in group <code>foo</code>
-	      in the specified group.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>Group ID</td>
-	    <td><code>foo/bar</code></td>
-	    <td>The object <code>bar</code> in group <code>foo</code>
-	      in the specified group.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>File ID</td>
-	    <td><code>.</code></td>
-	    <td>The root group of the file.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>Group ID</td>
-	    <td><code>.</code></td>
-	    <td>The specified group.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	  <tr>
-	    <td>Other ID</td>
-	    <td><code>.</code></td>
-	    <td>The specified object.</td>
-	  </tr>
-
-	</table>
-      </center>
-
-    <p>Note, however, that object names within a group must be unique. 
-       For example, <code>H5Dcreate</code> returns an error if a 
-       dataset with the dataset name specified in the parameter list
-       already exists at the location specified in the parameter list.
-
-
-    <h2>3. Creating, Opening, and Closing Groups</h2>
-
-    <p>Groups are created with the <code>H5Gcreate()</code> function,
-      and existing groups can be access with
-      <code>H5Gopen()</code>. Both functions return an object ID which
-      should be eventually released by calling
-      <code>H5Gclose()</code>.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Gcreate (hid_t <em>location_id</em>, const char
-	  *<em>name</em>, size_t <em>size_hint</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function creates a new group with the specified
-	name at the specified location which is either a file ID or a
-	group ID.  The name must not already be taken by some other
-	object and all parent groups must already exist.  The
-	<em>size_hint</em> is a hint for the number of bytes to
-	reserve to store the names which will be eventually added to
-	the new group.  Passing a value of zero for <em>size_hint</em>
-	is usually adequate since the library is able to dynamically
-	resize the name heap, but a correct hint may result in better
-	performance.  The return value is a handle for the open group
-	and it should be closed by calling <code>H5Gclose()</code>
-	when it's no longer needed. A negative value is returned for
-	failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Gopen (hid_t <em>location_id</em>, const char
-	  *<em>name</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function opens an existing group with the specified
-	name at the specified location which is either a file ID or a
-	group ID and returns an object ID.  The object ID should be
-	released by calling <code>H5Gclose()</code> when it is no
-	longer needed.  A negative value is returned for failure.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Gclose (hid_t <em>group_id</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function releases resources used by an group which was
-	opened by <code>H5Gcreate()</code> or
-	<code>H5Gopen()</code>. After closing a group the
-	<em>group_id</em> should not be used again.  This function
-	returns zero for success or a negative value for failure.
-    </dl>
-
-    <h2>4. Objects with Multiple Names</h2>
-
-    <p>An object (including a group) can have more than one
-      name. Creating the object gives it the first name, and then
-      functions described here can be used to give it additional
-      names.  The association between a name and the object is called
-      a <em>link</em> and HDF5 supports two types of links: a <em>hard
-      link</em> is a direct association between the name and the
-      object where both exist in a single HDF5 address space, and a
-      <em>soft link</em> is an indirect association.
-
-    <p>

-	<img alt="Hard Link Example" src="group_p2.gif">

-
-    <p>
-      <center>
-	<img alt="Soft Link Example" src="group_p3.gif">
-      </center>
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt>Object Creation</dt>
-      <dd>The creation of an object creates a hard link which is
-	indistinguishable from other hard links that might be added
-	later.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Glink (hid_t <em>file_id</em>, H5G_link_t
-	  <em>link_type</em>, const char *<em>current_name</em>,
-	  const char *<em>new_name</em>)</code>
-      <dd>Creates a new name for an object that has some current name
-	(possibly one of many names it currently has).  If the
-	<em>link_type</em> is <code>H5G_LINK_HARD</code> then a new
-	hard link is created.  Otherwise if <em>link_type</em> is
-	<code>H5T_LINK_SOFT</code> a soft link is created which is an
-	alias for the <em>current_name</em>.  When creating a soft
-	link the object need not exist.  This function returns zero
-	for success or negative for failure. 
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Gunlink (hid_t <em>file_id</em>, const char
-	  *<em>name</em>)</code>
-      <dd>This function removes an association between a name and an
-	object. Object headers keep track of how many hard links refer
-	to the object and when the hard link count reaches zero the
-	object can be removed from the file (but objects which are
-	open are not removed until all handles to the object are
-	closed).  
-    </dl>
-
-    <h2>5. Comments</h2>
-
-    <p>Objects can have a comment associated with them.  The comment
-      is set and queried with these two functions:
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Gset_comment (hid_t <em>loc_id</em>, const
-	  char *<em>name</em>, const char *<em>comment</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The previous comment (if any) for the specified object is
-	replace with a new comment.  If the <em>comment</em> argument
-	is the empty string or a null pointer then the comment message 
-	is removed from the object.  Comments should be relatively
-	short, null-terminated, ASCII strings.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Gget_comment (hid_t <em>loc_id</em>, const
-	  char *<em>name</em>, size_t <em>bufsize</em>, char
-	  *<em>comment</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The comment string for an object is returned through the
-	<em>comment</em> buffer.  At most <em>bufsize</em> characters

-    <h2>6. Unlinking Datasets with H5Gmove and H5Gunlink</h2>
-    </a>
-
-    <p>Exercise caution in the use of <code>H5Gmove</code> and 
-       <code>H5Gunlink</code>.
-
-    <p>Note that <code>H5Gmove</code> and <code>H5Gunlink</code>
-       each include a step that unlinks pointers to a set or group.
-       If the link that is removed is on the only path leading 
-       to a dataset or group, that dataset or group will become 
-       inaccessible in the file.
-
-    <p>Consider the following example.  Assume that the group
-       <code>group2</code> can only be accessed via the following path,
-       where <code>top_group</code> is a member of the file's root group:
-       <pre>
-              <code>/top_group/group1/group2/</code> </pre>
-       Using <code>H5Gmove</code>, <code>top_group</code> is renamed
-       to be a member of <code>group2</code>.  At this point, since 
-       <code>top_group</code> was the only route from the root group 
-       to <code>group1</code>, there is no longer a path by which 
-       one can access <code>group1</code>, <code>group2</code>, or 
-       any member datasets.
-       <code>top_group</code> and any member datasets have also 
-       become inaccessible.</p>

-
-    <P>The format of an HDF5 file on disk encompasses several
-      key ideas of the HDF4 and AIO file formats as well as
-      addressing some shortcomings therein.  The new format is
-      more self-describing than the HDF4 format and is more
-      uniformly applied to data objects in the file.
-      
-    <P>An HDF5 file appears to the user as a directed graph.  
-      The nodes of this graph are the higher-level HDF5 objects
-      that are exposed by the HDF5 APIs:
-
-      <ul>
-         <li>Groups
-         <li>Datasets
-         <li>Named datatypes
-      </ul>
-
-    <P>At the lowest level, as information is actually written to the disk, 
-       an HDF5 file is made up of the following objects:
-      <ul>
-         <li>A super block
-         <li>B-tree nodes (containing either symbol nodes or raw data chunks)
-         <li>Object headers
-         <li>A global heap
-         <li>Local heaps
-         <li>Free space
-      </ul>
-
-    <P>The HDF5 library uses these low-level objects to represent the
-      higher-level objects that are then presented to the user or 
-      to applications through the APIs.
-      For instance, a group is an object header that contains a message that
-      points to a local heap and to a B-tree which points to symbol nodes.
-      A dataset is an object header that contains messages that describe
-      datatype, space, layout, filters, external files, fill value, etc
-      with the layout message pointing to either a raw data chunk or to a
-      B-tree that points to raw data chunks.
-
-
-    <h3>This Document</h3>
-
-    <p>This document describes the lower-level data objects;
-      the higher-level objects and their properties are described 
-      in the <a href="H5.user.html"><cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite></a>.
-
-    <P>Three levels of information comprise the file format.  
-      Level 0 contains basic information for identifying and
-      defining information about the file.  Level 1 information contains
-      the information about the pieces of a file shared by many objects
-      in the file (such as a B-trees and heaps).  Level 2 is the rest 
-      of the file and contains all of the data objects, with each object
-      partitioned into header information, also known as 
-      <em>metadata</em>, and data.
-
-    <p>The sizes of various fields in the following layout tables are
-      determined by looking at the number of columns the field spans
-      in the table.  There are three exceptions: (1) The size may be
-      overridden by specifying a size in parentheses, (2) the size of
-      addresses is determined by the <em>Size of Offsets</em> field
-      in the super block and is indicated in this document with a
-      superscripted 'O', and (3) the size of length fields is determined
-      by the <em>Size of Lengths</em> field in the super block and is
-      indicated in this document with a superscripted 'L'.
-
-    <P>Values for all fields in this document should be treated as unsigned
-      integers, unless otherwise noted in the description of a field.
-      Additionally, all metadata fields are stored in little-endian byte
-      order.
-    </P>

-    <h2><a name="FileMetaData">
-	Disk Format: Level 0 - File Metadata</a></h2>
-
-    <H3><A name="SuperBlock">
-	Disk Format: Level 0A - File Signature and Super Block</A></H3>
-
-    <P>The super block may begin at certain predefined offsets within
-      the HDF5 file, allowing a block of unspecified content for
-      users to place additional information at the beginning (and
-      end) of the HDF5 file without limiting the HDF5 library's
-      ability to manage the objects within the file itself.  This
-      feature was designed to accommodate wrapping an HDF5 file in
-      another file format or adding descriptive information to the
-      file without requiring the modification of the actual file's
-      information.  The super block is located by searching for the
-      HDF5 file signature at byte offset 0, byte offset 512 and at
-      successive locations in the file, each a multiple of two of
-      the previous location, i.e.  0, 512, 1024, 2048, etc.
-
-    <P>The super block is composed of a file signature, followed by
-      super block and group version numbers, information
-      about the sizes of offset and length values used to describe
-      items within the file, the size of each group page,
-      and a group entry for the root object in the file.

-	    <P>This signature both identifies the file as an HDF5 file
-	    and provides for immediate detection of common
-	    file-transfer problems. The first two bytes distinguish
-	    HDF5 files on systems that expect the first two bytes to
-	    identify the file type uniquely. The first byte is
-	    chosen as a non-ASCII value to reduce the probability
-	    that a text file may be misrecognized as an HDF5 file;
-	    also, it catches bad file transfers that clear bit
-	    7. Bytes two through four name the format. The CR-LF
-	    sequence catches bad file transfers that alter newline
-	    sequences. The control-Z character stops file display
-	    under MS-DOS. The final line feed checks for the inverse
-	    of the CR-LF translation problem.  (This is a direct
-	    descendent of the <A href="http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/spec/PNG-Rationale.html#R.PNG-file-signature">PNG</A> file

-    <p>B-link trees allow flexible storage for objects which tend to grow
-      in ways that cause the object to be stored discontiguously.  B-trees
-      are described in various algorithms books including "Introduction to
-      Algorithms" by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, and Ronald
-      L. Rivest.  The B-link tree, in which the sibling nodes at a
-      particular level in the tree are stored in a doubly-linked list,
-      is described in the "Efficient Locking for Concurrent Operations
-      on B-trees" paper by Phillip Lehman and S. Bing Yao as published
-      in the <cite>ACM Transactions on Database Systems</cite>, Vol. 6,
-      No. 4, December 1981.
-
-    <p>The B-link trees implemented by the file format contain one more
-      key than the number of children.  In other words, each child
-      pointer out of a B-tree node has a left key and a right key.
-      The pointers out of internal nodes point to sub-trees while
-      the pointers out of leaf nodes point to symbol nodes and 
-      raw data chunks.
-      Aside from that difference, internal nodes and leaf nodes
-      are identical.

-

-     it points to offset zero in the heap, which is always the 
-     empty string and compares as "less-than" any valid object name.
-
-    <p>And key[<i>N</i>] for chunk trees is sometimes unused; 
-     it contains a chunk offset which compares as "greater-than" 
-     any other chunk offset and has a chunk byte size of zero 
-     to indicate that it is not actually allocated.

-    <h3><a name="SymbolTable">Disk Format: Level 1B - Group and Symbol Nodes</a></h3>
-
-    <p>A group is an object internal to the file that allows
-      arbitrary nesting of objects within the file (including other groups).
-      A group maps a set of names in the group to a set of relative
-      file addresses where objects with those names are located in
-      the file.  Certain metadata for an object to which the group points
-      can be cached in the group's symbol table in addition to the
-      object's header.
-
-    <p>An HDF5 object name space can be stored hierarchically by
-      partitioning the name into components and storing each
-      component in a group.  The group entry for a
-      non-ultimate component points to the group containing
-      the next component.  The group entry for the last
-      component points to the object being named.
-
-    <p>A group is a collection of group nodes pointed
-      to by a B-link tree.  Each group node contains entries
-      for one or more symbols.  If an attempt is made to add a
-      symbol to an already full group node containing
-      2<em>K</em> entries, then the node is split and one node
-      contains <em>K</em> symbols and the other contains
-      <em>K</em>+1 symbols.

-
-    <P>Each HDF5 file has a global heap which stores various types of
-      information which is typically shared between datasets.  The
-      global heap was designed to satisfy these goals:
-
-    <ol type="A">
-      <li>Repeated access to a heap object must be efficient without
-        resulting in repeated file I/O requests. Since global heap
-        objects will typically be shared among several datasets, it is
-        probable that the object will be accessed repeatedly.
-      <li>Collections of related global heap objects should result in
-        fewer and larger I/O requests.  For instance, a dataset of
-        object references will have a global heap object for each
-        reference.  Reading the entire set of object references
-        should result in a few large I/O requests instead of one small
-        I/O request for each reference.
-      <li>It should be possible to remove objects from the global heap
-        and the resulting file hole should be eligible to be reclaimed
-        for other uses.
-    </ol>
-    </P>
-
-    <P>The implementation of the heap makes use of the memory
-      management already available at the file level and combines that
-      with a new top-level object called a <em>collection</em> to
-      achieve Goal B. The global heap is the set of all collections.
-      Each global heap object belongs to exactly one collection and
-      each collection contains one or more global heap objects. For
-      the purposes of disk I/O and caching, a collection is treated as
-      an atomic object.
-    </P>
-
-    <P>The HDF5 library creates global heap collections as needed, so there may
-        be multiple collections throughout the file. The set of all of them is
-        abstractly called the "global heap", although they don't actually link
-        to each other, and there is no global place in the file where you can
-        discover all of the collections.  The collections are found simply by
-        finding a reference to one through another object in the file (eg.
-        variable-length datatype elements, etc).

-    <b>Length:</b> varies<BR>
-    <b>Status:</b> Required for datasets, may not be repeated.
-
-    <p><b>Purpose and Description:</b> Data layout describes how the
-      elements of a multi-dimensional array are arranged in the linear
-      address space of the file. Three types of data layout are
-      supported:
-
-    <ol>
-      <li>The array can be stored in one contiguous area of the file.
-	The layout requires that the size of the array be constant and
-	does not permit chunking, compression, checksums, encryption,
-	etc.  The message stores the total size of the array and the
-	offset of an element from the beginning of the storage area is
-	computed as in C.
-
-      <li>The array domain can be regularly decomposed into chunks and
-	each chunk is allocated separately.  This layout supports
-	arbitrary element traversals, compression, encryption, and
-	checksums, and the chunks can be distributed across external
-	raw data files (these features are described in other
-	messages).  The message stores the size of a chunk instead of
-	the size of the entire array; the size of the entire array can
-	be calculated by traversing the B-tree that stores the chunk
-	addresses.
-
-      <li>The array can be stored in one contiguous block, as part of
-        this object header message (this is called "compact" storage below).
-    </ol>
-    
-    <P>Version 3 of this message re-structured the format into specific
-        properties that are required for each layout class.

-      header they must be relatively small (<64KB) and can be
-      associated with any type of object which has an object header
-      (groups, datasets, named types and spaces, etc.).
-
-    <p>Note: Attributes on an object must have unique names.  (The HDF5 library
-      currently enforces this by causing the creation of an attribute with
-      a duplicate name to fail)
-      Attributes on different objects may have the same name, however.

-    <p>A constant message can be shared among several object headers
-      by writing that message in the global heap and having the object
-      headers all point to it.  The pointing is accomplished with a
-      Shared Object message which is understood directly by the object
-      header layer of the library. It is also possible to have a
-      message of one object header point to a message in some other
-      object header, but care must be exercised to prevent cycles.
-
-    <p>If a message is shared, then the message appears in the global
-      heap and its message ID appears in the Header Message Type
-      field of the object header.  Also, the Flags field in the object
-      header for that message will have bit two set (the
-      <code>H5O_FLAG_SHARED</code> bit).  The message body in the
-      object header will be that of a Shared Object message defined
-      here and not that of the pointed-to message.

-<h3><a name="DataStorage">Disk Format: Level 2c - Data Object Data Storage</a></h3>
-<P>The data for an object is stored separately from the header
-information in the file and may not actually be located in the HDF5 file
-itself if the header indicates that the data is stored externally.  The
-information for each record in the object is stored according to the
-dimensionality of the object (indicated in the dimensionality header message).
-Multi-dimensional data is stored in C order [same as current scheme], i.e. the
-"last" dimension changes fastest.
-<P>Data whose elements are composed of simple number-types are stored in
-native-endian IEEE format, unless they are specifically defined as being stored
-in a different machine format with the architecture-type information from the
-number-type header message.  This means that each architecture will need to
-[potentially] byte-swap data values into the internal representation for that
-particular machine.
-<P> Data with a variable-length datatype is stored in the global heap
-of the HDF5 file.  Global heap identifiers are stored in the 
-data object storage.
-<P>Data whose elements are composed of pointer number-types are stored in several
-different ways depending on the particular pointer type involved. Simple
-pointers are just stored as the dataset offset of the object being pointed to with the
-size of the pointer being the same number of bytes as offsets in the file.
-Dataset region references are stored as a heap-ID which points to the following
-information within the file-heap: an offset of the object pointed to, number-type
-information (same format as header message), dimensionality information (same
-format as header message), sub-set start and end information (i.e. a coordinate
-location for each), and field start and end names (i.e.  a [pointer to the]
-string indicating the first field included and a [pointer to the] string name
-for the last field).  
-
-<P>Data of a compound datatype is stored as a contiguous stream of the items
-in the structure, with each item formatted according to its datatype.</p>

-<H2><A NAME="Intro-WhatIs">1. What Is HDF5?</A></H2>
-<FONT FACE="Times"><P>HDF5 is a completely new Hierarchical Data Format 
-product consisting of a data format specification and a 
-supporting library implementation.  HDF5 is designed to address some 
-of the limitations of the older HDF product and to address current and 
-anticipated requirements of modern systems and applications. 
-<sup><a href="#H4H5footnote">1</a></sup>
-<P>We urge you to look at HDF5, the format and the library, and give us 
-feedback on what you like or do not like about it, and what features 
-you would like to see added to it.
-<a name="Intro-Why">
-<P><B>Why HDF5?</B></a>
-The development of HDF5 is motivated by a number of limitations in the 
-older HDF format and library. Some of these limitations are:
-
-<UL>
-</FONT><LI>A single file cannot store more than 20,000 complex objects, and a single file cannot be larger than 2 gigabytes.
-<LI>The data models are less consistent than they should be, there are more object types than necessary, and datatypes are too restricted. 
-<LI>The library source is old and overly complex, does not support parallel I/O effectively, and is difficult to use in threaded applications.</UL>
-
-<FONT FACE="Times"><P>HDF5 includes the following improvements.
-
-<UL>
-</FONT><LI>A new file format designed to address some of the deficiencies of HDF4.x, particularly the need to store larger files and more objects per file. 
-<LI>A simpler, more comprehensive data model that includes only two basic structures: a multidimensional array of record structures, and a grouping structure. 
-<LI>A simpler, better-engineered library and API, with improved support for parallel I/O, threads, and other requirements imposed by modern systems and applications.</UL>
-
-<font size=-1>
-<a name="H4H5footnote">1.</a>
-Note that HDF and HDF5 are two different products.  
-HDF is a data format first developed in the 1980s and currently 
-in Release 4.<i>x</i> (HDF Release 4.<i>x</i>).
-HDF5 is a new data format first released in <i>Beta</i> in 1998 and 
-designed to better meet the ever-increasing demands of scientific computing 
-and to take better advantage of the ever-increasing capabilities of 
-computing systems.
-HDF5 is currently in Release 1.<i>x</i> (HDF5 Release 1.<i>x</i>).

-</FONT><B><DFN><P>Datatype.</B></DFN><FONT FACE="Times"> HDF5 allows one to define many different kinds of datatypes. There are two categories of datatypes: <I>atomic</I> datatypes and <I>compound</I> datatypes. 
-Atomic datatypes can also be system-specific, or <I><CODE>NATIVE</CODE></I>, and all datatypes can be <I>named</I>:
-<ul>
-<li><em>Atomic</em> datatypes are those that are not decomposed at the datatype interface level, such as integers and floats.
-<li><I><CODE>NATIVE</CODE></I> datatypes are system-specific instances of atomic datatypes. 
-<li>Compound datatypes are made up of atomic datatypes.
-<li><em>Named</em> datatypes are either atomic or compound datatypes that have been specifically designated to be shared across datasets.
-</ul>
-<I><P>Atomic datatypes</I> include integers and floating-point numbers. Each atomic type belongs to a particular class and has several properties: size, order, precision, and offset. In this introduction, we consider only a few of these properties.
-<P>Atomic classes include integer, float, date and time, string, bit field, and opaque. <I>(Note: Only integer, float and string  classes are available in the current implementation.)
-</I><P>Properties of integer types include size, order (endian-ness), and signed-ness (signed/unsigned).
-<P>Properties of float types include the size and location of the exponent and mantissa, and the location of the sign bit.
-<P>The datatypes that are supported in the current implementation are: 
-
-<UL>
-</FONT><LI>Integer datatypes: 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit integers in both little and big-endian format 
-<LI>Floating-point numbers: IEEE 32-bit and 64-bit floating-point numbers in both little and big-endian format
-<li>References
-<LI>Strings</UL>
-
-<p>
-<em><code>NATIVE</code> datatypes.</em>  Although it is possible to describe nearly any kind of atomic datatype, most applications will use predefined datatypes that are supported by their compiler.  In HDF5 these are called <i>native</i> datatypes. <CODE>NATIVE</CODE> datatypes are C-like datatypes that are generally supported by the hardware of the machine on which the library was compiled. In order to be portable, applications should almost always use the <CODE>NATIVE </CODE>designation to describe data values in memory.
-<P>The <CODE>NATIVE</CODE> architecture has base names which do not follow the same rules as the others.  Instead, native type names are similar to the C type names.  The following figure shows several examples.

-<I>Attributes </I>are small named datasets that are attached to primary datasets, groups, or named datatypes.  Attributes can be used to describe the nature and/or the intended usage of a dataset or group. An attribute has two parts: (1) a <I>name</I> and (2) a <I>value</I>.  The value part contains one or more data entries of the same datatype. 
-<FONT FACE="Times"><P>The Attribute API (H5A) is used to read or write attribute information. When accessing attributes, they can be identified by name or by an <I>index value</I>.  The use of an index value makes it possible to iterate through all of the attributes associated with a given object.
-<P>The HDF5 format and I/O library are designed with the assumption that attributes are small datasets. They are always stored in the object header of the object they are attached to.  Because of this, large datasets should not be stored as attributes. How large is "large" is not defined by the library and is up to the user's interpretation. (Large datasets with metadata can be stored as supplemental datasets in a group with the primary dataset.)

-
-    <p>For those who are interested, this section takes a look at 
-      the low-level elements of the file as the file is written to disk 
-      (or other storage media) and the relation of those low-level 
-      elements to the higher level elements with which users typically 
-      are more familiar.  The HDF5 API generally exposes only the 
-      high-level elements to the user; the low-level elements are 
-      often hidden.
-      The rest of this <cite>Introduction</cite> does not assume 
-      an understanding of this material.
-
-    <P>The format of an HDF5 file on disk encompasses several
-      key ideas of the HDF4 and AIO file formats as well as
-      addressing some shortcomings therein.  The new format is
-      more self-describing than the HDF4 format and is more
-      uniformly applied to data objects in the file.

-      The HDF5 library uses these lower-level objects to represent the
-      higher-level objects that are then presented to the user or 
-      to applications through the APIs.
-      For instance, a group is an object header that contains a message that
-      points to a local heap and to a B-tree which points to symbol nodes.
-      A dataset is an object header that contains messages that describe
-      datatype, space, layout, filters, external files, fill value, etc
-      with the layout message pointing to either a raw data chunk or to a
-      B-tree that points to raw data chunks.

-<h3><A NAME="Intro-PMRdWrPortion">Reading and writing a portion of a dataset</A></h3>
-<P>In the previous discussion, we describe how to access an entire dataset with one write (or read) operation. HDF5 also supports access to portions (or selections) of a dataset in one read/write operation. Currently selections are limited to hyperslabs, their unions, and the lists of independent points. Both types of selection will be discussed in the following sections. Several sample cases of selection reading/writing are shown on the following figure.
-<center>

-</table>
-</center>
-</B><P>In example (a) a single hyperslab is read from the midst of a two-dimensional array in a file and stored in the corner of a smaller two-dimensional array in memory.  In (b) a regular series of blocks is read from a two-dimensional array in the file and stored as a contiguous sequence of values at a certain offset in a one-dimensional array in memory.  In (c) a sequence of points with no regular pattern is read from a two-dimensional array in a file and stored as a sequence of points with no regular pattern in a three-dimensional array in memory. 
-In (d) a union of hyperslabs in the file dataspace is read and 
-the data is stored in another union of hyperslabs in the memory dataspace.
-<P>As these examples illustrate, whenever we perform partial read/write operations on the data, the following information must be provided: file dataspace, file dataspace selection, memory dataspace and memory dataspace selection. After the required information is specified, actual read/write operation on the portion of data is done in a single call to the HDF5 read/write functions H5Dread(write).

A hyperslab selection can be a logically contiguous collection of points in a dataspace, or it can be regular pattern of points or blocks in a dataspace.

-A hyperslab specifies a regular pattern of elements in a dataset.  It is also possible to specify a list of independent elements to read or write using the function <CODE>H5Sselect_elements</CODE>.  Suppose, for example, that we wish to write the values 53, 59, 61, 67 to the following elements of the 8x12 array used in the previous example: (0,0), (3,3), (3,5), and (5,6).  The following code selects the points and writes them to the dataset:
-<pre>
-#define FSPACE_RANK      2    /* Dataset rank as it is stored in the file */
-#define NPOINTS          4    /* Number of points that will be selected 
-                                 and overwritten */ 
-#define MSPACE2_RANK     1    /* Rank of the second dataset in memory */ 
-#define MSPACE2_DIM      4    /* Dataset size in memory */ 
-
-&nbsp;
-hsize_t dim2[] = {MSPACE2_DIM};       /* Dimension size of the second 
-                                         dataset (in memory) */ 
-int     values[] = {53, 59, 61, 67};  /* New values to be written */
-hsize_t coord[NPOINTS][FSPACE_RANK];  /* Array to store selected points 
-                                         from the file dataspace */ 
-
-/*
- * Create dataspace for the second dataset.
- */
-mid2 = H5Screate_simple(MSPACE2_RANK, dim2, NULL);
-
-/*
- * Select sequence of NPOINTS points in the file dataspace.

-The HDF5 Library allows the user to select a union of hyperslabs and 
-write or read the selection into another selection.  The shapes of
-the two selections may differ, but the number of elements must be equal.
-<p>
-Suppose that we want to read two overlapping hyperslabs from the dataset 
-written in the previous example into a union of hyperslabs in the memory 
-dataset.  This exercise is illustrated in the two figures immediately below.
-Note that the memory dataset has a different shape from the previously
-written dataset.  Similarly, the selection in the memory dataset
-could have a different shape than the selected union of hyperslabs in 
-the original file; for simplicity, we will preserve the selection's shape
-in this example.

-</FONT><h3><A NAME="Intro-PMCreateVariableLength">Creating variable-length datatypes</A></h3>
-
-Variable-length (VL) datatypes are sequences of an existing datatype
-(atomic, VL, or compound) which are not fixed in length from one dataset location
-to another.  In essence, they are similar to C character strings -- a sequence of 
-a type which is pointed to by a particular type of <em>pointer</em> -- although 
-they are implemented more closely to FORTRAN strings by including an explicit 
-length in the pointer instead of using a particular value to terminate the 
-sequence.
-
-<p>
-VL datatypes are useful to the scientific community in many different ways,
-some of which are listed below:
-<ul>
-    <li>Ragged arrays: Multi-dimensional ragged arrays can be implemented with
-        the last (fastest changing) dimension being ragged by using a
-        VL datatype as the type of the element stored. (Or as a field in a
-        compound datatype.)
-    <li>Fractal arrays: If a compound datatype has a VL field of another compound
-        type with VL fields (a <em>nested</em> VL datatype), this can be used to
-        implement ragged arrays of ragged arrays, to whatever nesting depth is
-        required for the user.
-    <li>Polygon lists: A common storage requirement is to efficiently store arrays
-        of polygons with different numbers of vertices.  VL datatypes can be
-        used to efficiently and succinctly describe an array of polygons with
-        different numbers of vertices.
-    <li>Character strings: Perhaps the most common use of VL datatypes will be to
-        store C-like VL character strings in dataset elements or as attributes
-        of objects.
-    <li>Indices: An array of VL object references could be used as an index to
-        all the objects in a file which contain a particular sequence of
-        dataset values. Perhaps an array something like the following:
-        <pre>
-            Value1: Object1, Object3,  Object9
-            Value2: Object0, Object12, Object14, Object21, Object22
-            Value3: Object2
-            Value4: &lt;none&gt;
-            Value5: Object1, Object10, Object12
-                .
-                .
-        </pre>
-    <li>Object Tracking: An array of VL dataset region references can be used as
-        a method of tracking objects or features appearing in a sequence of
-        datasets.  Perhaps an array of them would look like:
-        <pre>
-            Feature1: Dataset1:Region,  Dataset3:Region,  Dataset9:Region
-            Feature2: Dataset0:Region,  Dataset12:Region, Dataset14:Region,
-                      Dataset21:Region, Dataset22:Region
-            Feature3: Dataset2:Region
-            Feature4: &lt;none&gt;
-            Feature5: Dataset1:Region,  Dataset10:Region, Dataset12:Region
-                .
-                .
-        </pre>
-</ul>
-
-
-<h4>Variable-length datatype memory management</h4>
-
-With each element possibly being of different sequence lengths for a
-dataset with a VL datatype, the memory for the VL datatype must be dynamically
-allocated.  Currently there are two methods of managing the memory for 
-VL datatypes: the standard C malloc/free memory allocation routines or a method
-of calling user-defined memory management routines to allocate or free memory.
-Since the memory allocated when reading (or writing) may be complicated to
-release, an HDF5 routine is provided to traverse a memory buffer and free the
-VL datatype information without leaking memory.
-
-
-<h5>Variable-length datatypes cannot be divided</h5>
-
-VL datatypes are designed so that they cannot be subdivided by the library
-with selections, etc.  This design was chosen due to the complexities in
-specifying selections on each VL element of a dataset through a selection API
-that is easy to understand.  Also, the selection APIs work on dataspaces, not
-on datatypes.  At some point in time, we may want to create a way for
-dataspaces to have VL components to them and we would need to allow selections
-of those VL regions, but that is beyond the scope of this document.
-
-
-<h5>What happens if the library runs out of memory while reading?</h5>
-
-It is possible for a call to <code>H5Dread</code> to fail while reading in 
-VL datatype information if the memory required exceeds that which is available.  
-In this case, the <code>H5Dread</code> call will fail gracefully and any 
-VL data which has been allocated prior to the memory shortage will be returned 
-to the system via the memory management routines detailed below.  
-It may be possible to design a <em>partial read</em> API function at a 
-later date, if demand for such a function warrants.
-
-
-<h5>Strings as variable-length datatypes</h5>
-
-Since character strings are a special case of VL data that is implemented
-in many different ways on different machines and in different programming 
-languages, they are handled somewhat differently from other VL datatypes in HDF5.
-
-<p>
-HDF5 has native VL strings for each language API, which are stored the
-same way on disk, but are exported through each language API in a natural way
-for that language.  When retrieving VL strings from a dataset, users may choose
-to have them stored in memory as a native VL string or in HDF5's <code>hvl_t</code> 
-struct for VL datatypes.
-
-<p>
-VL strings may be created in one of two ways: by creating a VL datatype with
-a base type of <code>H5T_NATIVE_ASCII</code>, <code>H5T_NATIVE_UNICODE</code>, 
-etc., or by creating a string datatype and setting its length to 
-<code>H5T_VARIABLE</code>.  The second method is used to access 
-native VL strings in memory.  The library will convert between the two types, 
-but they are stored on disk using different datatypes and have different 
-memory representations.
-
-<p>
-Multi-byte character representations, such as UNICODE or <em>wide</em> 
-characters in C/C++, will need the appropriate character and string datatypes 
-created so that they can be described properly through the datatype API.  
-Additional conversions between these types and the current ASCII characters 
-will also be required.
-
-<p>
-Variable-width character strings (which might be compressed data or some
-other encoding) are not currently handled by this design.  We will evaluate
-how to implement them based on user feedback.
-
-
-<h4>Variable-length datatype APIs</h4>
-
-<h5>Creation</h5>
-
-VL datatypes are created with the <code>H5Tvlen_create()</code> function 
-as follows:
-<dl>
-    <dd><em>type_id</em> = <code>H5Tvlen_create</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>base_type_id</code>);
-</dl>
-
-<p>
-The base datatype will be the datatype that the sequence is composed of,
-characters for character strings, vertex coordinates for polygon lists, etc.
-The base datatype specified for the VL datatype can be of any HDF5 datatype,
-including another VL datatype, a compound datatype, or an atomic datatype.
-
-
-<h5>Querying base datatype of VL datatype</h5>
-
-It may be necessary to know the base datatype of a VL datatype before 
-memory is allocated, etc.  The base datatype is queried with the 
-<code>H5Tget_super()</code> function, described in the H5T documentation.
-
-
-<h5>Querying minimum memory required for VL information</h5>
-
-It order to predict the memory usage that <code>H5Dread</code> may need 
-to allocate to store VL data while reading the data, the 
-<code>H5Dget_vlen_size()</code> function is provided:
-<dl>
-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> 
-        <code>H5Dvlen_get_buf_size</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>dataset_id</code>, 
-        <em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>,
-        <em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>, 
-        <em>hsize_t</em> *<code>size</code>) 
-</dl>
-
-<p>
-This routine checks the number of bytes required to store the VL data from
-the dataset, using the <code>space_id</code> for the selection in the dataset 
-on disk and the <code>type_id</code> for the memory representation of the 
-VL data in memory.  The *<code>size</code> value is modified according to 
-how many bytes are required to store the VL data in memory.
-
-
-<h5>Specifying how to manage memory for the VL datatype</h5>
-
-The memory management method is determined by dataset transfer properties
-passed into the <code>H5Dread</code> and <code>H5Dwrite</code> functions 
-with the dataset transfer property list.  
-
-<p>
-Default memory management is set by using <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code> 
-for the dataset transfer property list identifier.
-If <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code> is used with <code>H5Dread</code>,
-the system <code>malloc</code> and <code>free</code> calls
-will be used for allocating and freeing memory.
-In such a case,  <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code> should also be passed
-as the property list identifier to <code>H5Dvlen_reclaim</code>.
-
-<p>
-The rest of this subsection is relevant only to those who choose 
-<i>not</i> to use default memory management.
-
-<p>
-The user can choose whether to use the 
-system <code>malloc</code> and <code>free</code> calls  or
-user-defined, or custom, memory management functions.
-If user-defined memory management functions are to be used, 
-the memory allocation and free routines must be defined via 
-<code>H5Pset_vlen_mem_manager()</code>, as follows:
-<dl>
-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> 
-        <code>H5Pset_vlen_mem_manager</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>plist_id</code>,
-        <em>H5MM_allocate_t</em> <code>alloc</code>, 
-        <em>void</em> *<code>alloc_info</code>,
-        <em>H5MM_free_t</em> <code>free</code>, 
-        <em>void</em> *<code>free_info</code>)
-</dl>
-
-
-<p>
-The <code>alloc</code> and <code>free</code> parameters 
-identify the memory management routines to be used.
-If the user has defined custom memory management routines,
-<code>alloc</code> and/or <code>free</code> should be set to make 
-those routine calls (i.e., the name of the routine is used as 
-the value of the parameter);  
-if the user prefers to use the system's <code> malloc</code>
-and/or <code>free</code>, the <code>alloc</code> and 
-<code>free</code> parameters, respectively, should be set to 
-<code> NULL</code>
-<p>
-The prototypes for the user-defined functions would appear as follows:
-<dl>
-    <dd><code>typedef</code> <em>void</em> 
-        *(*<code>H5MM_allocate_t</code>)(<em>size_t</em> <code>size</code>, 
-        <em>void</em> *<code>info</code>) ;
-    <dd><code>typedef</code> <em>void</em> 
-        (*<code>H5MM_free_t</code>)(<em>void</em> *<code>mem</code>, 
-        <em>void</em> *<code>free_info</code>) ;
-</dl>
-
-<p>
-The <code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> parameters can be 
-used to pass along any required information to the user's memory management 
-routines.
-
-<p>
-In summary, if the user has defined custom memory management 
-routines, the name(s) of the routines are passed in the 
-<code>alloc</code> and <code>free</code> parameters and the 
-custom routines' parameters are passed in the 
-<code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> parameters.
-If the user wishes to use the system <code> malloc</code> and 
-<code>free</code> functions, the <code>alloc</code> and/or 
-<code>free</code> parameters are set to <code> NULL</code> 
-and the  <code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> 
-parameters are ignored.
-
-<h5>Recovering memory from VL buffers read in</h5>
-
-The complex memory buffers created for a VL datatype may be reclaimed with
-the <code>H5Dvlen_reclaim()</code> function call, as follows:
-<dl>
-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> 
-        <code>H5Dvlen_reclaim</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>, 
-        <em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>, 
-        <em>hid_t</em> <code>plist_id</code>,
-        <em>void</em> *<code>buf</code>);
-</dl>
-
-<p>
-The <code>type_id</code> must be the datatype stored in the buffer, 
-<code>space_id</code> describes the selection for the memory buffer 
-to free the VL datatypes within, 
-<code>plist_id</code> is the dataset transfer property list which 
-was used for the I/O transfer to create the buffer, and 
-<code>buf</code> is the pointer to the buffer to free the VL memory within.  
-The VL structures (<code>hvl_t</code>) in the user's buffer are 
-modified to zero out the VL information after it has been freed.
-
-<p>
-If nested VL datatypes were used to create the buffer, 
-this routine frees them from the bottom up, 
-releasing all the memory without creating memory leaks.
-
-<P>

-
-<h3><A NAME="Intro-PMCreateArray">Creating array datatypes</A></h3>
-
-The array class of datatypes, <code>H5T_ARRAY</code>, allows the 
-construction of true, homogeneous, multi-dimensional arrays.  
-Since these are homogeneous arrays, each element of the array will be 
-of the same datatype, designated at the time the array is created.
-
-<p>
-Arrays can be nested.
-Not only is an array datatype used as an element of an HDF5 dataset,
-but the elements of an array datatype may be of any datatype, 
-including another array datatype.
-
-<p>
-Array datatypes cannot be subdivided for I/O; the entire array must 
-be transferred from one dataset to another. 
-
-<p>
-Within certain limitations, outlined in the next paragraph, array datatypes 
-may be <em>N</em>-dimensional and of any dimension size.  
-Unlimited dimensions, however, are not supported. 
-Functionality similar to unlimited dimension arrays is available through 
-the use of variable-length datatypes.
-
-<p>
-The maximum number of dimensions, i.e., the maximum rank, of an array
-datatype is specified by the HDF5 library constant <code>H5S_MAX_RANK</code>.
-The minimum rank is 1 (one).
-All dimension sizes must be greater than 0 (zero). 
-
-<p>
-One array dataype may only be converted to another array datatype 
-if the number of dimensions and the sizes of the dimensions are equal 
-and the datatype of the first array's elements can be converted 
-to the datatype of the second array's elements.
-
-<h4>Array datatype APIs</h4>
-
-There are three functions that are specific to array datatypes: 
-one, <code>H5Tarray_create</code>, for creating an array datatype, 
-and two, <code>H5Tget_array_ndims</code> and <code>H5Tget_array_dims</code>,
-for working with existing array datatypes.
-
-<h5>Creating</h5>
-
-The function <code>H5Tarray_create</code> creates a new array datatype object.
-Parameters specify 
-  <ul>
-  <li>the base datatype of each element of the array,
-  <li>the rank of the array, i.e., the number of dimensions, 
-  <li>the size of each dimension, and
-  <li>the dimension permutation of the array, i.e., whether the 
-      elements of the array are listed in C or FORTRAN order.
-      (<b>Note:</b> The permutation feature is not implemented in Release 1.4.)
-  </ul>
-
-<dir>
-    <em>hid_t</em> <code>H5Tarray_create</code>(
-                   <em>hid_t</em> <code>base</code>,
-                   <em>int</em> <code>rank</code>,
-                   <em>const hsize_t</em> <code>dims[/*rank*/]</code>,
-                   <em>const int</em> <code>perm[/*rank*/]</code>
-            )
-</dir>
-
-<h5>Working with existing array datatypes</h5>
-
-When working with existing arrays, one must first determine the 
-the rank, or number of dimensions, of the array.
-
-<p>
-The function <code>H5Tget_array_ndims</code> returns the rank of a
-specified array datatype.
-
-<dir>
-    <em>int</em> <code>H5Tget_array_ndims</code>(
-                 <em>hid_t</em> <code>adtype_id</code>
-            )
-</dir>
-
-In many instances, one needs further information.
-The function <code>H5Tget_array_dims</code> retrieves the 
-permutation of the array and the size of each dimension.
-(<b>Note:</b> The permutation feature is not implemented in Release 1.4.)
-
-<dir>
-    <em>int</em> <code>H5Tget_array_dims</code>(
-                 <em>hid_t</em> <code>adtype_id</code>,

-</FONT><h3><A NAME="Intro-PMCreateCompound">Creating compound datatypes</A></h3>
-<B><P>Properties of compound datatypes. </B>A compound datatype is similar to a struct in C or a common block in Fortran. It is a collection of one or more atomic types or small arrays of such types. To create and use of a compound datatype you need to refer to various <i>properties</i> of the data compound datatype:
-
-<UL>
-<LI>It is of class <i>compound</i><I>.</I> 
-<LI>It has a fixed total <i>size</i>, in bytes. 
-<LI>It consists of zero or more <i>members</i> (defined in any order) with unique names and which occupy non-overlapping regions within the datum. 
-<LI>Each member has its own <i>datatype</i>. 
-<LI>Each member is referenced by an <i>index number</i> between zero and N-1, where N is the number of members in the compound datatype. 
-<LI>Each member has a <i>name</i> which is unique among its siblings in a compound datatype. 
-<LI>Each member has a fixed <i>byte offset</i>, which is the first byte (smallest byte address) of that member in a compound datatype.

-<h3><A NAME="Intro-PMWorkGroups">Working with groups in a file</A></h3>
-<P>Groups provide a mechanism for organizing meaningful and extendible sets of datasets within an HDF5 file. The H5G API contains routines for working with groups. 
-<B><P>Creating a group. </B>To create a group, use 
-<CODE>H5Gcreate</CODE>.  For example, the following code 
-creates a group called <code>Data</code> in the root group.
-<pre>
- /*
-  *  Create a group in the file.
-  */
- grp = H5Gcreate(file, "/Data", 0);
-</pre>
-A group may be created in another group by providing the 
-absolute name of the group to the <code>H5Gcreate</code> 
-function or by specifying its location.  For example, 
-to create the group <code>Data_new</code> in the 
-<code>Data</code> group, one can use the following sequence 
-of calls:
-<pre>
- /*
-  * Create group "Data_new" in the group "Data" by specifying
-  * absolute name of the group.
-  */
- grp_new = H5Gcreate(file, "/Data/Data_new", 0);

-<pre>
- /*
-  * Create group "Data_new" in the "Data" group.
-  */
- grp_new = H5Gcreate(grp, "Data_new", 0);
-</pre>
-Note that the group identifier <code>grp</code> is used 
-as the first parameter in the <code>H5Gcreate</code> function 
-when the relative name is provided.   
-<p>
-The third parameter in <code>H5Gcreate</code> optionally

-<code>H5Gclose</code> closes the group and releases the 
-group identifier.
-<p>
-
-<b>Creating a dataset in a particular group.</b>

-A relative dataset name may also be used when a dataset is 
-created.  First obtain the identifier of the group in which 
-the dataset is to be created.  Then create the dataset
-with <code>H5Dcreate</code> as illustrated in the following 
-example:
-<pre>
- /* 
-  * Open the group.
-  */
- grp = H5Gopen(file, "Data");
-
- /*
-  * Create the dataset "Compressed_Data" in the "Data" group
-  * by providing a group identifier and a relative dataset 
-  * name as parameters to the H5Dcreate function.
-  */

-
-<b>Accessing an object in a group.</b>
-Any object in a group can be accessed by its absolute or 
-relative name.  The following lines of code show how to use

-<code>Compressed_Data</code> in the group <code>Data</code> 
-created in the examples above:
-<pre>
-  /*
-   * Open the dataset "Compressed_Data" in the "Data" group.

-access the group to which the dataset belongs, then open 
-the dataset. 
-<pre>
-  /*
-   * Open the group "data" in the file.
-   */
-  grp  = H5Gopen(file, "Data");

-<h3><A NAME="Intro-PMWorkRefObjects">Working with references to objects</A></h3>
-
-In HDF5, objects (i.e. groups, datasets, and named datatypes) are usually 
-accessed by name. This access method was discussed in previous sections. 
-There is another way to access stored objects -- by reference.
-<P>
-An object reference is based on the relative file address of the object header
-in the file and is constant for the life of the object. Once a reference to
-an object is created and stored in a dataset in the file, it can be used
-to dereference the object it points to. References are handy for creating
-a file index or for grouping related objects by storing references to them in
-one dataset.
-<P>
-
-<h4>Creating and storing references to objects</h4>
-The following steps are involved in creating and storing file references
-to objects:
-<OL>
-<LI> Create the objects or open them if they already exist in the file.
-<LI> Create a dataset to store the objects' references.
-<LI> Create and store references to the objects in a buffer.
-<LI> Write a buffer with the references to the dataset.
-</OL>
-
-
-<h5>Programming example</h5>
-<a href="Intro/IntroExamples.html#CreateWriteRefObj" target="ExampleWin">Example 11</a> 
-creates a group and two datasets and a named datatype in the group. 
-References to these four objects are stored in the dataset in the 
-root group.

-<b>Notes:</b>

-<LI> The following code, 
-<PRE>
-    dataset = H5Dcreate ( fid1,"Dataset3",H5T_STD_REF_OBJ,sid1,H5P_DEFAULT );
-</PRE>
-  creates a dataset to store references. Notice that the 
-  <code>H5T_SDT_REF_OBJ</code> datatype is used to specify that 
-  references to objects will be stored. 
-  The datatype <code>H5T_STD_REF_DSETREG</code> is used to store the 
-  dataset region references and is be discussed later.
-<LI>The next few calls to the <code>H5Rcreate</code> function create

-</PRE>
-<UL>
-    <LI> The first argument specifies the buffer to store the reference.
-    <LI> The second and third arguments specify the name of the referenced

-         absolute name of the dataset <code>/Group1/Dataset1</code> 
-         identify the dataset. One could also use the group identifier 
-         of group <code>Group1</code> and the relative name of the dataset 
-         <code>Dataset1</code> to create the same reference.
-    <LI> The fourth argument specifies the type of the reference. 
-         The example uses references to the objects (<code>H5R_OBJECT</code>).
-         Another type of reference, reference to the dataset region 
-         (<code>H5R_DATASET_REGION</code>), is discussed later. 
-    <LI> The fifth argument specifies the space identifier. When references 
-         to the objects are created, it should be set to <code>-1</code>. 
-</UL>
-<LI>The <code>H5Dwrite</code> function writes a dataset with the

-creates a dataset in the file. Then it creates a dataset to store 
-references to the dataset regions (selections).
-The first selection is a 6 x 6 hyperslab. 
-The second selection is a point selection in the same dataset.
-References to both selections are created and stored in the buffer, 
-and then written to the dataset in the file.
-
-<p>
-<b>Notes:</b>
-Note the following elements of this example:
-<UL>
-<LI> The code, 
-<PRE>
-    dset1=H5Dcreate(fid1,"Dataset1",H5T_STD_REF_DSETREG,sid1,H5P_DEFAULT);
-</PRE>
-   creates a dataset to store references to the dataset(s) regions (selections).
-   Notice that the <code>H5T_STD_REF_DSETREG</code> datatype is used.
-
-<LI> This program uses hyperslab and point selections. The dataspace 
-   handle <I>sid2</I> is used for the calls to <code>H5Sselect_hyperslab</code>
-   and <code>H5Sselect_elements</code>.  The handle was created when dataset 
-   <code><b>Dataset2</b></code> was created and it describes the dataset's 
-   dataspace. It was not closed when the dataset was closed to decrease 
-   the number of function calls used in the example. 
-   In a real application program, one should open the dataset and determine 
-   its dataspace using the <code>H5Dget_space</code> function. 
-<LI> <code>H5Rcreate</code> is used to create a dataset region reference 
-   and store it in a buffer.  The signature of the function is:
-<PRE>
-     herr_t H5Rcreate(void *buf, hid_t loc_id, const char *name,
-                      H5R_type_t ref_type, hid_t space_id)
-</PRE>
-<UL>
-    <LI> The first argument specifies the buffer to store the reference.
-    <LI> The second and third arguments specify the name of the referenced 
-         dataset.  In the example, the file identifier <I>fid1</I> and the 
-         absolute name of the dataset <code><b>/Dataset2</b></code> were 
-         used to identify the dataset. The reference to the region of this 
-         dataset is stored in the buffer <I>buf</I>.  
-    
-    <LI> The fourth argument specifies the type of the reference. Since 
-       the example creates references to the dataset regions, the 
-       <code>H5R_DATASET_REGION</code> datatype is used. 
-    <LI> The fifth argument is a dataspace identifier of the referenced 
-       dataset. 
-</UL>
-</UL>
-
-<b>Output file contents:</b>
-The contents of the file <code>trefer2.h5</code> created by this program 
-are as follows:

-Notice how raw data of the dataset with the dataset regions is displayed.
-Each element of the raw data consists of a reference to the dataset 
-(<code>DATASET  number1:number2</code>) and its selected region. 
-If the selection is a hyperslab, the corner coordinates of the hyperslab 
-are displayed. 
-For the point selection, the coordinates of each point are displayed.
-Since only two selections were stored, the third and fourth elements of the 
-dataset <code>Dataset1</code> are set to <code>NULL</code>. 
-This was done by the buffer inizialization in the program.
-
-<h4>Reading references to dataset regions</h4>
-
-The following steps are involved in reading references to dataset 
-regions and referenced dataset regions (selections).
-<OL>
-<LI> Open and read the dataset containing references to the dataset regions.
-   The datatype <code>H5T_STD_REF_DSETREG</code> must be used during 
-   read operation.
-<LI>Use <code>H5Rdereference</code> to obtain the dataset identifier 
-    from the read dataset region reference.
-    <PRE>                       <B>OR</B>
-    </PRE>
-   Use <code>H5Rget_region</code> to obtain the dataspace identifier for 
-   the dataset containing the selection from the read dataset region reference.
-<LI> With the dataspace identifier, the H5S interface functions,  
-     <code>H5Sget_select_</code>*, can be used to obtain information 
-     about the selection.
-<LI> Close all objects when they are no longer needed.
-</OL>

-<a href="Intro/IntroExamples.html#ReadRefReg" target="ExampleWin">Example 14</a>
-reads a dataset containing dataset region references.
-It reads data from the dereferenced dataset and displays the number of 
-elements and raw data. Then it reads two selections:
-a hyperslab selection and a point selection. The program queries a 
-number of points in the hyperslab  and the coordinates and displays them. 
-Then it queries a number of selected points and their coordinates and 
-displays the information.

-<b>Notes:</b>
-Note the following elements of this example:
-<UL>
-<LI> The dataset with the region references was read by <code>H5Dread</code>
-   with the <code>H5T_STD_REF_DSETREG</code> datatype specified.
-<LI> The read reference can be used to obtain the dataset identifier 
-    with the following call:
-<PRE>
-    dset2 = H5Rdereference (dset1,H5R_DATASET_REGION,&rbuf[0]);
-</PRE>
-   or to obtain spacial information (dataspace and selection) with the call
-   to <code>H5Rget_region</code>:
-<PRE>
-    sid2=H5Rget_region(dset1,H5R_DATASET_REGION,&rbuf[0]);
-</PRE> 
-   The reference to the dataset region has information for both the dataset 
-   itself and its selection. In both functions:
-<UL>
-       <LI> The first parameter is an identifier of the dataset with the 
-         region references.
-       <LI> The second parameter specifies the type of  reference stored. 
-         In this example, a reference to the dataset region is stored.
-       <LI> The third parameter is a buffer containing the reference of the 
-         specified type.
-</UL>
-<LI> This example introduces several <code>H5Sget_select</code>* 
-   functions used to obtain information about selections:
-
-<UL>
-    <code>H5Sget_select_npoints:</code>  returns the number of elements in 
-       the hyperslab<BR>
-    <code>H5Sget_select_hyper_nblocks:</code> returns the number of blocks 
-       in the hyperslab<BR>
-    <code>H5Sget_select_blocklist:</code> returns the "lower left" and 
-       "upper right" coordinates of the blocks in the hyperslab selection<BR>
-    <code>H5Sget_select_bounds:</code> returns the coordinates of the 
-       "minimal" block containing a hyperslab selection<BR>
-    <code>H5Sget_select_elem_npoints:</code> returns the number of points 
-       in the element selection<BR>  
-    <code>H5Sget_select_elem_points:</code> returns the coordinates of 
-       the element selection

-    <title>The Raw Data I/O Pipeline</title>
-  </head>
-
-  <body>
-    <h1>The Raw Data I/O Pipeline</h1>
-
-    <p>The HDF5 raw data pipeline is a complicated beast that handles
-      all aspects of raw data storage and transfer of that data
-      between the file and the application.  Data can be stored
-      contiguously (internal or external), in variable size external
-      segments, or regularly chunked; it can be sparse, extendible,
-      and/or compressible. Data transfers must be able to convert from
-      one data space to another, convert from one number type to
-      another, and perform partial I/O operations. Furthermore,
-      applications will expect their common usage of the pipeline to
-      perform well.
-
-    <p>To accomplish these goals, the pipeline has been designed in a
-      modular way so no single subroutine is overly complicated and so
-      functionality can be inserted easily at the appropriate
-      locations in the pipeline.  A general pipeline was developed and
-      then certain paths through the pipeline were optimized for
-      performance.
-
-    <p>We describe only the file-to-memory side of the pipeline since
-      the memory-to-file side is a mirror image. We also assume that a
-      proper hyperslab of a simple data space is being read from the
-      file into a proper hyperslab of a simple data space in memory,
-      and that the data type is a compound type which may require
-      various number conversions on its members.
-
-      <img alt="Figure 1" src="pipe1.gif">
-
-    <p>The diagrams should be read from the top down. The Line A
-      in the figure above shows that <code>H5Dread()</code> copies
-      data from a hyperslab of a file dataset to a hyperslab of an
-      application buffer by calling <code>H5D_read()</code>. And
-      <code>H5D_read()</code> calls, in a loop,
-      <code>H5S_simp_fgath()</code>, <code>H5T_conv_struct()</code>,
-      and <code>H5S_simp_mscat()</code>. A temporary buffer, TCONV, is
-      loaded with data points from the file, then data type conversion
-      is performed on the temporary buffer, and finally data points
-      are scattered out to application memory. Thus, data type
-      conversion is an in-place operation and data space conversion
-      consists of two steps. An additional temporary buffer, BKG, is
-      large enough to hold <em>N</em> instances of the destination
-      data type where <em>N</em> is the same number of data points
-      that can be held by the TCONV buffer (which is large enough to
-      hold either source or destination data points).
-
-    <p>The application sets an upper limit for the size of the TCONV
-      buffer and optionally supplies a buffer. If no buffer is
-      supplied then one will be created by calling
-      <code>malloc()</code> when the pipeline is executed (when
-      necessary) and freed when the pipeline exits.  The size of the
-      BKG buffer depends on the size of the TCONV buffer and if the
-      application supplies a BKG buffer it should be at least as large
-      as the TCONV buffer.  The default size for these buffers is one
-      megabyte but the buffer might not be used to full capacity if
-      the buffer size is not an integer multiple of the source or
-      destination data point size (whichever is larger, but only
-      destination for the BKG buffer).
-
-
-
-    <p>Occassionally the destination data points will be partially
-      initialized and the <code>H5Dread()</code> operation should not
-      clobber those values.  For instance, the destination type might
-      be a struct with members <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> where
-      <code>a</code> is already initialized and we're reading
-      <code>b</code> from the file.  An extra line, G, is added to the
-      pipeline to provide the type conversion functions with the
-      existing data.
-
-      <img alt="Figure 2" src="pipe2.gif">
-
-    <p>It will most likely be quite common that no data type
-      conversion is necessary.  In such cases a temporary buffer for
-      data type conversion is not needed and data space conversion
-      can happen in a single step. In fact, when the source and
-      destination data are both contiguous (they aren't in the
-      picture) the loop degenerates to a single iteration.
-
-
-      <img alt="Figure 3" src="pipe3.gif">
-
-    <p>So far we've looked only at internal contiguous storage, but by
-      replacing Line B in Figures 1 and 2 and Line A in Figure 3 with
-      Figure 4 the pipeline is able to handle regularly chunked
-      objects. Line B of Figure 4 is executed once for each chunk
-      which contains data to be read and the chunk address is found by
-      looking at a multi-dimensional key in a chunk B-tree which has
-      one entry per chunk.
-
-      <img alt="Figure 4" src="pipe4.gif">
-
-    <p>If a single chunk is requested and the destination buffer is
-      the same size/shape as the chunk, then the CHUNK buffer is
-      bypassed and the destination buffer is used instead as shown in
-      Figure 5.

-<pre>
-Information for HDF5 maintainers:
-
-* You can run make from any directory.  However, running in a
-  subdirectory only knows how to build things in that directory and
-  below.  However, all makefiles know when their target depends on
-  something outside the local directory tree:
-
-	$ cd test
-	$ make
-	make: *** No rule to make target ../src/libhdf5.a
-
-* All Makefiles understand the following targets:
-
-        all              -- build locally.
-        install          -- install libs, headers, progs.
-        uninstall        -- remove installed files.
-        mostlyclean      -- remove temp files (eg, *.o but not *.a).
-        clean            -- mostlyclean plus libs and progs.
-        distclean        -- all non-distributed files.
-        maintainer-clean -- all derived files but H5config.h.in and configure.
-
-* Most Makefiles also understand:
-
-	TAGS		-- build a tags table
-	dep, depend	-- recalculate source dependencies
-	lib		-- build just the libraries w/o programs
-
-* If you have personal preferences for which make, compiler, compiler
-  flags, preprocessor flags, etc., that you use and you don't want to
-  set environment variables, then use a site configuration file.
-
-  When configure starts, it looks in the config directory for files
-  whose name is some combination of the CPU name, vendor, and
-  operating system in this order:
-
-	CPU-VENDOR-OS
-	VENDOR-OS
-	CPU-VENDOR
-	OS
-	VENDOR
-	CPU
-
-  The first file which is found is sourced and can therefore affect
-  the behavior of the rest of configure. See config/BlankForm for the
-  template.
-
-* If you use GNU make along with gcc the Makefile will contain targets
-  that automatically maintain a list of source interdependencies; you
-  seldom have to say `make clean'.  I say `seldom' because if you
-  change how one `*.h' file includes other `*.h' files you'll have
-  to force an update.
-
-  To force an update of all dependency information remove the
-  `.depend' file from each directory and type `make'.  For
-  instance:
-
-	$ cd $HDF5_HOME
-	$ find . -name .depend -exec rm {} \;
-	$ make
-
-  If you're not using GNU make and gcc then dependencies come from
-  ".distdep" files in each directory.  Those files are generated on
-  GNU systems and inserted into the Makefile's by running
-  config.status (which happens near the end of configure).
-
-* If you use GNU make along with gcc then the Perl script `trace' is
-  run just before dependencies are calculated to update any H5TRACE()
-  calls that might appear in the file.  Otherwise, after changing the
-  type of a function (return type or argument types) one should run
-  `trace' manually on those source files (e.g., ../bin/trace *.c).
-
-* Object files stay in the directory and are added to the library as a
-  final step instead of placing the file in the library immediately
-  and removing it from the directory.  The reason is three-fold:
-
-	1.  Most versions of make don't allow `$(LIB)($(SRC:.c=.o))'
-	    which makes it necessary to have two lists of files, one
-	    that ends with `.c' and the other that has the library
-	    name wrapped around each `.o' file.
-
-	2.  Some versions of make/ar have problems with modification
-	    times of archive members.
-
-	3.  Adding object files immediately causes problems on SMP
-	    machines where make is doing more than one thing at a
-	    time.
-
-* When using GNU make on an SMP you can cause it to compile more than
-  one thing at a time.  At the top of the source tree invoke make as
-
-	$ make -j -l6
-
-  which causes make to fork as many children as possible as long as
-  the load average doesn't go above 6.  In subdirectories one can say
-
-	$ make -j2
-
-  which limits the number of children to two (this doesn't work at the
-  top level because the `-j2' is not passed to recursive makes).
-
-* To create a release tarball go to the top-level directory and run
-  ./bin/release.  You can optionally supply one or more of the words
-  `tar', `gzip', `bzip2' or `compress' on the command line.  The
-  result will be a (compressed) tar file(s) in the `releases'
-  directory.  The README file is updated to contain the release date
-  and version number.
-
-* To create a tarball of all the files which are part of HDF5 go to
-  the top-level directory and type:
-
-      tar cvf foo.tar `grep '^\.' MANIFEST |unexpand |cut -f1`

-      <h1>Memory Management in HDF5</h1>
-
-      <!-- ---------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-      <h2>Is a Memory Manager Necessary?</h2>
-
-      <p>Some form of memory management may be necessary in HDF5 when
-	the various deletion operators are implemented so that the
-	file memory is not permanently orphaned.  However, since an
-	HDF5 file was designed with persistent data in mind, the
-	importance of a memory manager is questionable.
-
-      <p>On the other hand, when certain meta data containers (file glue)
-	grow, they may need to be relocated in order to keep the
-	container contiguous.
-
-	<blockquote>
-	  <b>Example:</b> An object header consists of up to two
-	  chunks of contiguous memory.  The first chunk is a fixed
-	  size at a fixed location when the header link count is
-	  greater than one.  Thus, inserting additional items into an
-	  object header may require the second chunk to expand.  When
-	  this occurs, the second chunk may need to move to another
-	  location in the file, freeing the file memory which that
-	  chunk originally occupied.
-      </blockquote>
-
-      <p>The relocation of meta data containers could potentially
-	orphan a significant amount of file memory if the application
-	has made poor estimates for preallocation sizes.
-
-      <!-- ---------------------------------------------------------------- -->
-      <h2>Levels of Memory Management</h2>
-
-      <p>Memory management by the library can be independent of memory
-	management support by the file format.  The file format can
-	support no memory management, some memory management, or full
-	memory management.  Similarly with the library.
-
-      <h3>Support in the Library</h3>
-
-      <dl>
-	<dt><b>No Support: I</b>
-	<dd>When memory is deallocated it simply becomes unreferenced
-	  (orphaned) in the file.  Memory allocation requests are
-	  satisfied by extending the file.
-	  
-	<dd>A separate off-line utility can be used to detect the
-	  unreferenced bytes of a file and "bubble" them up to the end
-	  of the file and then truncate the file.
-
-	<dt><b>Some Support: II</b>
-	<dd>The library could support partial memory management all
-	  the time, or full memory management some of the time.
-	  Orphaning free blocks instead of adding them to a free list
-	  should not affect the file integrity, nor should fulfilling
-	  new requests by extending the file instead of using the free
-	  list.
-
-	<dt><b>Full Support: III</b>
-	<dd>The library supports space-efficient memory management by
-	  always fulfilling allocation requests from the free list when
-	  possible, and by coalescing adjacent free blocks into a
-	  single larger free block.
-      </dl>
-
-      <h3>Support in the File Format</h3>
-      
-      <dl>
-	<dt><b>No Support: A</b>
-	<dd>The file format does not support memory management; any
-	  unreferenced block in the file is assumed to be free.  If
-	  the library supports full memory management then it will
-	  have to traverse the entire file to determine which blocks
-	  are unreferenced.
-
-	<dt><b>Some Support: B</b>
-	<dd>Assuming that unreferenced blocks are free can be
-	  dangerous in a situation where the file is not consistent.
-	  For instance, if a directory tree becomes detached from the
-	  main directory hierarchy, then the detached directory and
-	  everything that is referenced only through the detached
-	  directory become unreferenced.  File repair utilities will
-	  be unable to determine which unreferenced blocks need to be
-	  linked back into the file hierarchy.
-
-	<dd>Therefore, it might be useful to keep an unsorted,
-	  doubly-linked list of free blocks in the file.  The library
-	  can add and remove blocks from the list in constant time,
-	  and can generate its own internal free-block data structure
-	  in time proportional to the number of free blocks instead of
-	  the size of the file.  Additionally, a library can use a
-	  subset of the free blocks, an alternative which is not
-	  feasible if the file format doesn't support any form of
-	  memory management.
-
-	<dt><b>Full Support: C</b>
-	<dd>The file format can mirror library data structures for
-	  space-efficient memory management.  The free blocks are
-	  linked in unsorted, doubly-linked lists with one list per
-	  free block size.  The heads of the lists are pointed to by a
-	  B-tree whose nodes are sorted by free block size.  At the
-	  same time, all free blocks are the leaf nodes of another
-	  B-tree sorted by starting and ending address.  When the
-	  trees are used in combination we can deallocate and allocate
-	  memory in O(log <em>N</em>) time where <em>N</em> is the
-	  number of free blocks.
-      </dl>
-
-      <h3>Combinations of Library and File Format Support</h3>
-
-      <p>We now evaluate each combination of library support with file
-	support:
-
-      <dl>
-	<dt><b>I-A</b>
-	<dd>If neither the library nor the file support memory
-	  management, then each allocation request will come from the
-	  end of the file and each deallocation request is a no-op
-	  that simply leaves the free block unreferenced.
-

-	      <ul>
-		<li>No file overhead for allocation or deallocation.
-		<li>No library overhead for allocation or
-		  deallocation.

-	      </ul>
-	  </ul>
-
-	<dt><b>II-A</b>

-

-      <p>The library reads as much of the free list as convenient when
-	convenient and pushes those entries onto stacks.  This can
-	occur when a file is opened or any time during the life of the
-	file. There is one stack for each free block size and the
-	stacks are sorted by size in a balanced tree in memory.
-
-      <p>Deallocation involves finding the correct stack or creating
-	a new one (an O(log <em>K</em>) operation where <em>K</em> is
-	the number of stacks), pushing the free block info onto the
-	stack (a constant-time operation), and inserting the free
-	block into the file free block list (a constant-time operation
-	which doesn't necessarily involve any I/O since the free blocks
-	can be cached like other objects).  No attempt is made to
-	coalesce adjacent free blocks into larger blocks.
-
-      <p>Allocation involves finding the correct stack (an O(log
-	<em>K</em>) operation), removing the top item from the stack
-	(a constant-time operation), and removing the block from the
-	file free block list (a constant-time operation).  If there is
-	no free block of the requested size or larger, then the file
-	is extended.
-
-      <p>To provide sharability of the free list between processes,
-	the last step of an allocation will check for the free block
-	signature and if it doesn't find one will repeat the process.
-	Alternatively, a process can temporarily remove free blocks
-	from the file and hold them in it's own private pool.
-
-      <p>To summarize...
-	<dl>
-	<dt>File opening
-	<dd>O(<em>N</em>) amortized over the time the file is open,
-	  where <em>N</em> is the number of free blocks.  The library
-	  can still function without reading any of the file free
-	  block list.
-
-	<dt>Deallocation
-	<dd>O(log <em>K</em>) where <em>K</em> is the number of unique
-	  sizes of free blocks.  File access is constant.
-
-	<dt>Allocation
-	<dd>O(log <em>K</em>).  File access is constant.
-
-	<dt>File closing
-	<dd>O(1) even if the library temporarily removes free

-	  the pool can still be a linked list on disk.

-      <h2>The Algorithm for III-C</h2>
-
-      <p>The HDF5 file format supports a general B-tree mechanism
-	for storing data with keys.  If we use a B-tree to represent
-	all parts of the file that are free and the B-tree is indexed
-	so that a free file chunk can be found if we know the starting
-	or ending address, then we can efficiently determine whether a
-	free chunk begins or ends at the specified address.  Call this
-	the <em>Address B-Tree</em>.
-
-      <p>If a second B-tree points to a set of stacks where the
-	members of a particular stack are all free chunks of the same
-	size, and the tree is indexed by chunk size, then we can
-	efficiently find the best-fit chunk size for a memory request.
-	Call this the <em>Size B-Tree</em>.
-
-      <p>All free blocks of a particular size can be linked together
-	with an unsorted, doubly-linked, circular list and the left
-	and right sibling addresses can be stored within the free
-	chunk, allowing us to remove or insert items from the list in
-	constant time.
-
-      <p>Deallocation of a block fo file memory consists of:
-
-	<ol type="I">
-	<li>Add the new free block whose address is <em>ADDR</em> to the
-	  address B-tree.
-
-	  <ol type="A">
-	    <li>If the address B-tree contains an entry for a free
-	      block that ends at <em>ADDR</em>-1 then remove that
-	      block from the B-tree and from the linked list (if the
-	      block was the first on the list then the size B-tree
-	      must be updated).  Adjust the size and address of the
-	      block being freed to include the block just removed from
-	      the free list.  The time required to search for and
-	      possibly remove the left block is O(log <em>N</em>)
-	      where <em>N</em> is the number of free blocks.
-
-	    <li>If the address B-tree contains an entry for the free
-	      block that begins at <em>ADDR</em>+<em>LENGTH</em> then
-	      remove that block from the B-tree and from the linked
-	      list (if the block was the first on the list then the
-	      size B-tree must be updated).  Adjust the size of the
-	      block being freed to include the block just removed from
-	      the free list.  The time required to search for and
-	      possibly remove the right block is O(log <em>N</em>).
-
-	    <li>Add the new (adjusted) block to the address B-tree.
-	      The time for this operation is O(log <em>N</em>).
-	  </ol>
-
-	<li>Add the new block to the size B-tree and linked list.
-
-	  <ol type="A">
-	    <li>If the size B-tree has an entry for this particular
-	      size, then add the chunk to the tail of the list. This
-	      is an O(log <em>K</em>) operation where <em>K</em> is
-	      the number of unique free block sizes.
-
-	    <li>Otherwise make a new entry in the B-tree for chunks of
-	      this size.  This is also O(log <em>K</em>).
-	  </ol>
-      </ol>
-
-      <p>Allocation is similar to deallocation.
-
-      <p>To summarize...
-
-      <dl>
-	<dt>File opening
-	<dd>O(1)
-
-	<dt>Deallocation
-	<dd>O(log <em>N</em>) where <em>N</em> is the total number of

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>Mounting Files</h1>
-
-    <h2>Purpose</h2>
-
-    <p>This document contrasts two methods for mounting an hdf5 file
-      on another hdf5 file: the case where the relationship between
-      files is a tree and the case where it's a graph.  The tree case
-      simplifies current working group functions and allows symbolic
-      links to point into ancestor files whereas the graph case is
-      more consistent with the organization of groups within a
-      particular file.
-
-    <h2>Definitions</h2>
-
-    <p>If file <code>child</code> is mounted on file
-      <code>parent</code> at group <code>/mnt</code> in
-      <code>parent</code> then the contents of the root group of
-      <code>child</code> will appear in the group <code>/mnt</code> of
-      <code>parent</code>. The group <code>/mnt</code> is called the
-      <em>mount point</em> of the child in the parent.
-
-    <h2>Common Features</h2>
-
-    <p>These features are common to both mounting schemes.
-
-    <ul>
-      <li>The previous contents of <code>/mnt</code> in
-	<code>parent</code> is temporarily hidden.  If objects in that
-	group had names from other groups then the objects will still
-	be visible by those other names.
-
-      <li>The mount point is actually an OID (not a name) so if there
-	are other names besides <code>/mnt</code> for that group then
-	the root group of the child will be visible in all those
-	names.
-
-      <li>At most one file can be mounted per mount point but a parent 
-	can have any number of mounted children.
-
-      <li>Name lookups will entail a search through the mount table at
-	each stage of the lookup.  The search will be O(log
-	<em>N</em>) where <em>N</em> is the number of children mounted
-	on that file.
-
-      <li>Files open for read-only can be mounted on other files that
-	are open for read-only.  Mounting a file in no way changes the
-	contents of the file.
-
-      <li>Mounting a child may hide mount points that exist below the
-	child's mount point, but it does not otherwise affect mounted
-	files.
-
-      <li>Hard links cannot cross file boundaries.  An object cannot
-	be moved or renamed with <code>H5Gmove()</code> in such a way
-	that the new location would be in a different file than the
-	original location.
-
-      <li>The child can be accessed in a manner different from the
-	parent. For instance, a read-write child in a read-only
-	parent, a parallel child in a serial parent, <em>etc</em>.
-
-      <li>If some object in the child is open and the child is
-	unmounted and/or closed, the object will remain open and
-	accessible until explicitly closed. As in the mountless case,
-	the underlying UNIX file will be held open until all member
-	objects are closed.
-
-      <li>Current working groups that point into a child will remain
-	open and usable even after the child has been unmounted and/or 
-	closed.
-
-      <li>Datasets that share a committed datatype must reside in the 
-	same file as the datatype.
-
-    </ul>

-OBJECT HEADERS
---------------
-
-haddr_t
-H5O_new (hdf5_file_t *f, intn nrefs, size_t size_hint)
-
-	Creates a new empty object header and returns its address.
-	The SIZE_HINT is the initial size of the data portion of the
-	object header and NREFS is the number of symbol table entries
-	that reference this object header (normally one).
-
-	If SIZE_HINT is too small, then at least some default amount
-	of space is allocated for the object header.
-
-intn				        /*num remaining links		*/
-H5O_link (hdf5_file_t *f,		/*file containing header	*/
-	  haddr_t addr,			/*header file address		*/
-	  intn adjust)			/*link adjustment amount	*/
-
-
-size_t
-H5O_sizeof (hdf5_file_t *f,		/*file containing header	*/
-	    haddr_t addr,		/*header file address		*/
-            H5O_class_t *type,		/*message type or H5O_ANY	*/
-	    intn sequence)		/*sequence number, usually zero	*/
-		
-	Returns the size of a particular instance of a message in an
-	object header.  When an object header has more than one
-	instance of a particular message type, then SEQUENCE indicates
-	which instance to return.
-
-void *
-H5O_read (hdf5_file_t *f,		/*file containing header	*/

-==============================================================================
-Process for Creating PDF Versions of the HDF5 RM and UG from HTML Source Files
-==============================================================================
-
-                                                    Last modified: 24 Sep 2004

-PDF versions of the HDF5 Reference Manual (RM) and the new HDF5 User's Guide 
-(UG) are created from the HTML source at each release of the HDF5 Library.  
-The process is managed through two application environments, Macromedia 
-DreamWeaver (an HTML editing environment) and HTML doc (a conversion tool).  
-This document describes the process in detail for the RM; the process for the 
-UG is very similar and will be described in a subsequent update.
-
-
-The HDF5 Reference Manual
--------------------------
-1.  Using Macromedia Dreamweaver, define a site that contains all the 
-    documents within doc/html, including html, image, DreamWeaver library and 
-    .book files.
-
-2.  In the ed_libs directory:
-
-      a) Assuming you have your libraries set up for electronic viewing (to
-         verify, check that there is nothing more than a commented note and
-         an '&nbsp;' in the 3 aforementioned _Null libraries) drop the code
-         from the actual library into it's respective Null lib, replacing 
-         the &nbsp;.
-           (EXAMPLE: Take all the code from Footer.lbi and insert it into
-            Footer_Null.lbi, taking care not to remove the commented note.)
-     
-      b) In the now empty library file, add an &nbsp;.
-      
-      c) Save the libraries and thier respective Null files.
-
-      d) With a library still open (not a Null one) choose 
-          Modify>Library>Update Pages...
-         Look in: Entire Site
-         Check 'Library Items' in the 'Update:' selection.
-         Hit start.
-
-3.  In RM_H5P.html:
-
-      a) RM_H5P.html contains two versions of the 'C Interfaces' function 
-         list.  One is for print use and one is for electronic use.  
-         One should be visible and one should be commented out.  
-         Make sure that the section labelled with 
-         <!-- FOR USE WITH ELECTRONIC VERSION ---> is commented out.
-         (by removing the >s).
- 
-
-4.  Using HTMLdoc:  
-      
-      a) Open PDF_RM_body.book 
-      
-      b) The Input tab:
-           Document Type: Web Page
-           Input Files:
-             RM_H5Front.html
-             RM_H5.html
-             RM_H5A.html
-             RM_H5D.html
-             RM_H5E.html
-             RM_H5F.html
-             RM_H5G.html
-             RM_H5I.html
-             RM_H5P.html
-             RM_H5R.html
-             RM_H5S.html
-             RM_H5T.html
-             RM_H5Z.html
-             Tools.html
-             PredefDTypes.html
-             Glossary.html
-           Logo Image: none
-           Title File/Image: none
-
-      c) The Output tab:
-           Output To: File
-           Output Path: H5_RM_body.pdf
-           Output Format: PDF
-           Output Options: JPEG Big Images
-           Compression (not critical, change at will): Slider right above 'Fast'
-           JPEG Quality (not critical, change at will): 60
-  
-      d) The Page tab:
-           Page Size: Letter, 2-Sided
-             Top: 0.50in, Left: 1.00in, Right: 0.50in, Bottom: 0.50in
-           Header: Blank, Blank, Blank
-           Footer: Blank, Blank, 1,2,3,...
-           Number Up: 1
-
-      e) The Colors tab:
-           Everything Blank
-           Link Style: Plain
-    
-      f) The Fonts tab:
-           Base Font Size: 11.0
-           Line Spacing: 1.2
-           Body Typeface: Times
-           Heading Typeface: Helvetica
-           Header/Footer Size: 10.0
-           Header/Footer Font: Helvetica
-           Character Set: iso-8859-1
-           Options: Do Not Check 'Embed Fonts'
-
-      g) The PDF tab:
-           PDF Version: 1.3
-           Page Mode: Document
-           Page Layout: Single
-           Page Effect: None
-           Options: Check 'Include Links'
-
-      h) The Security tab:
-           Encryption: No
-
-      i) The Options tab:
-           HTML Editor: Point to Dreamweaver (recommended)
-           Browser Width: 680
-           GUI Option: Check all 3
-
-      j) Save the book file.
-     
-      k) Verify that the output file (H5_RM_body.pdf) is not open.
-
-      l) Generate the document.
-
-5.  Open H5_RM_body.pdf
-    
-      a) Scan through the document page by page to verify that there are no 
-         elements that should have been eliminated via javascripts or swapped 
-         library contents.
-
-      b) Scan through again looking only for places where page breaks need to 
-         be added, removed, or relocated.  I have found that re-generating the 
-         document after every pagination correction actually saves time in the 
-         long run.  This is because some pagination corrections that must be 
-         made may create other problems further down in the document.  
-         Re-generating the document ensures that every problem you focus on 
-         won't have to be re-done.
-
-      c) When you are sure all the pagination is correct (don't forget to 
-         start each of the sections included in the Table of Contents on a 
-         recto) note page numbers for the beginning of each section in the TOC.
-
-6.  Open RM_TOC.html
-
-      a) Edit page numbers accordingly. 
-         (Note: Assuming the general format of RM_H5Front remains the same, 
-          the 'Overview' listing in the TOC should always be on pg. 1, and 
-          the 'Fortran90 and C++ APIs' listing should be on pg. 2, an 
-          exepction to the recto-rule.)
-
-      b) Save.
-
-7.  Using HTMLdoc:
-
-      a) Open PDF_RM_front.book
-
-      b) The Input tab:
-           Document Type: Web Page
-           Input Files:
-             RM_Title.html
-             Copyright.html
-             RM_TOC.html
-           Logo Image: none
-           Title File/Image: none
-
-      c) The Output tab:
-           Output To: File
-           Output Path: H5_RM_front.pdf
-           Output Format: PDF
-           Output Options: JPEG Big Images

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>Performance Analysis and Issues</h1>
-
-    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>This section includes brief discussions of performance issues 
-      in HDF5 and performance analysis tools for HDF5 or pointers to 
-      such discussions.
-
-    <h2>2. Dataset Chunking</h2>
-
-      Appropriate dataset chunking can make a siginificant difference
-      in HDF5 performance.  This topic is discussed in 
-      <a href="Chunking.html">Dataset Chunking Issues</a> elsewhere
-      in this <cite>User's Guide</cite>.
-
-    <a name="Freespace">
-    <h2>3. Freespace Management</h2>
-    </a>
-
-     <p>HDF5 does not yet manage freespace as effectively as it might.
-      While a file is opened, the library actively tracks and re-uses
-      <em>freespace</em>, i.e., space that is freed (or released) 
-      during the run.  
-      But the library does not yet manage freespace across the 
-      closing and reopening of a file; when a file is closed, 
-      all knowledge of available freespace is lost.  
-      What was freespace becomes an unusable <em>hole</em> in the file.
-
-     <p>There are several circumstances that can result in freespace 
-      in an HDF5 file:
-      <ul>
-      <li>Reading then rewriting a dataset or compressed dataset 
-        chunk.<sup><a href="#footcchunk">1</a></sup>  
-        <ul>
-        <li>If the rewritten dataset or compressed chunk is the same 
-          size as or smaller than the original, it will be written 
-          to the same file location.  
-        <li>If, however, the dataset or compressed chunk is larger 
-          than the original, it will be written contiguously elsewhere 
-          in the file, leaving freespace at the original location.
-        <li>If the rewritten dataset or compressed chunk is 
-          substantially smaller than the original, the remaining 
-          space will be released and identified as freespace.
-        </ul>
-      <li>Deleting (or unlinking) a dataset or group.
-        <ul>
-        <li>If an object, such as a dataset, group, or named datatype, 
-          is deleted (normally with <code>H5Gunlink</code>), 
-          the space previously occupied by the object is released 
-          and identified as freespace.
-        </ul>
-      </ul>
-
-     <p>As stated above, freespace is not managed across the 
-      closing and reopening of an HDF5 file; file space that was 
-      known freespace while the file remained open becomes an 
-      inaccessible hole when the file is closed.  
-      Thus, if a file is often closed and reopened, datasets 
-      frequently rewritten, or groups and/or datasets frequently 
-      added and deleted, that file can develop large numbers of 
-      holes and grow unnecessarily large.  This can, in turn, 
-      seriously impair application or library performance 
-      as the file ages.
-
-     <p>An <code>h5pack</code> utility would enable <em>packing</em> 
-      a file to remove the holes, but writing such a utility to 
-      universally pack the file correctly is a complex task and the 
-      HDF5 development team has not to date had the resources to 
-      complete the task.
-
-     <p>For application developers or researchers who find themselves 
-      working with files that become bloated in this manner, there 
-      are, at this time, two remedies:
-      <ul>
-        <li><code>H5view</code>, an HDF5 Java tool, allows the user 
-          to open a file and, using the <code>Save As...</code> feature, 
-          save the file under a new filename.  The new file can then 
-          be closed and will be a packed version of the original file.  
-          This approach is reasonably reliable, but with two caveats:
-        <ul>
-          <li>It is not automated.
-          <li>This ability is a side-effect of the tool's design;
-            it was not designed for this purpose and this approach 
-            to file packing has not been exhaustively tested. 
-        </ul>
-        <li>An application developer or researcher can write a utility 
-          that is tuned to their data and file structures.  This
-          untility can then read in a file, copy the structures and
-          datasets to a new file, and write the new file to storage.  
-          This will eliminate the holes, making the new file a 
-          fully-packed version of the original file. 
-      </ul>
-
-     <a name="footcchunk">
-     <p></a>
-      <sup>1</sup>
-      <font size=-1>
-        This is a problem only with compressed chunks.
-        The compression ratio of data is highly dependent on the data 
-        itself; regardless of whether the <em>size</em> of the data 
-        changes, the size of the compressed data change substantially 
-        as the data changes.  Uncompressed chunks do not vary in size, 
-        so this issue does not arise.
-      </font>
-
-    <h2>4. Use of the Pablo Instrumentation of HDF5</h2>
-
-      Pablo HDF5 Trace software provides a means of measuring the 
-      performance of programs using HDF5. 
-
-    <p>The Pablo software consists 
-      of an instrumented copy of the HDF5 library, the Pablo Trace and 
-      Trace Extensions libraries, and some utilities for processing the 
-      output.  The instrumented version of the HDF5 library has hooks 
-      inserted into the HDF5 code which call routines in the Pablo Trace 
-      library just after entry to each instrumented HDF5 routine and 
-      just prior to exit from the routine.  The Pablo Trace Extension 
-      library has programs that track the I/O activity between the 
-      entry and exit of the HDF5 routine during execution.  
-
-    <p>A few lines of code must be inserted in the user's main program 
-      to enable tracing and to specify which HDF5 procedures are to be 
-      traced.  The program is linked with the special HDF5 and Pablo 
-      libraries to produce an executable.   Running this executable on 
-      a single processor produces an output file called the trace file 
-      which contains records, called Pablo Self-Defining Data Format 
-      (SDDF) records, which can later be analyzed using the 
-      HDF5 Analysis Utilities. The HDF5 Analysis Utilites can be used 
-      to interpret the SDDF records in the trace files to produce a 
-      report describing the HDF5 IO activity that occurred during 
-      execution.  
-
-    <p>For further instructions, see the file <code>READ_ME</code> 
-      in the <code> $(toplevel)/hdf5/pablo/ </code> subdirectory of 
-      the HDF5 source code distribution. 
-
-    <p>For further information about Pablo and the 
-      Self-Defining Data Format, visit the Pablo website at
-      <code><a href="http://www-pablo.cs.uiuc.edu/">http://www-pablo.cs.uiuc.edu/</a></code>.</p>

-    <ul>
-    <li>Instead of a class name, precision, and byte order as the last 
-        component, they have a C-like datatype name.  
-    <li>If the datatype begins with <code>U</code>, then it is the unsigned 
-        version of the integer datatype; other integer datatypes are signed.  
-    <li>The datatype <code>LLONG</code> corresponds to 
-        C's <code>long_long</code> and
-        <code>LDOUBLE</code> is <code>long_double</code>.
-        These datatypes might be the same as <code>LONG</code> and 
-        <code>DOUBLE</code>, respectively.

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>The Property List Interface (H5P)</h1>
-
-    <h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-
-    <p>The property list (a.k.a., template) interface provides a
-      mechanism for default named arguments for a C function
-      interface. A property list is a collection of name/value pairs
-      which can be passed to various other HDF5 functions to control
-      features that are typically unimportant or whose default values
-      are usually used.
-
-    <p>For instance, file creation needs to know various things such
-      as the size of the user-block at the beginning of the file, or
-      the size of various file data structures.  Wrapping this
-      information in a property list simplifies the API by reducing
-      the number of arguments to <code>H5Fcreate()</code>.
-
-    <h2>2. General Property List Operations</h2>
-
-    <p>Property lists follow the same create/open/close paradigm as
-      the rest of the library.
-
-    <dl>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Pcreate (H5P_class_t <em>class</em>)</code>
-      <dd>A new property list can be created as an instance of some
-	property list class.  The new property list is initialized
-	with default values for the specified class. The classes are:
-
-	<br><br>
-	<dl>
-	  <dt><code>H5P_FILE_CREATE</code>
-	  <dd>Properties for file creation.  See <a href="Files.html">H5F</a>
-	    for details about the file creation properties.
-	  <dt><code>H5P_FILE_ACCESS</code>
-	  <dd>Properties for file access. See <a href="Files.html">H5F</a>
-	    for details about the file creation properties.
-	  <dt><code>H5P_DATASET_CREATE</code>
-	  <dd>Properties for dataset creation.  See
-	    <a href="Datasets.html">H5D</a> for details about dataset
-	    creation properties.
-	  <dt><code>H5P_DATASET_XFER</code>
-	  <dd>Properties for raw data transfer.  See
-	    <a href="Datasets.html">H5D</a> for details about raw data
-	    transfer properties.
-	</dl>
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>hid_t H5Pcopy (hid_t <em>plist</em>)</code>
-      <dd>A property list can be copied to create a new property
-	list. The new property list has the same properties and values
-	as the original property list.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>herr_t H5Pclose (hid_t <em>plist</em>)</code>
-      <dd>All property lists should be closed when the application is
-	finished accessing them.  This frees resources used by the
-	property list.
-
-	<br><br>
-      <dt><code>H5P_class_t H5Pget_class (hid_t <em>plist</em>)</code>
-      <dd>The class of which the property list is a member can be
-	obtained by calling this function.  The property list classes
-	are defined above for <code>H5Pcreate()</code>.

-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5check_version</code>(<em>unsigned</em> <code>majnum</code>,
-            <em>unsigned</em> <code>minnum</code>,
-            <em>unsigned</em> <code>relnum</code>
-        )
-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Verifies that library versions are consistent.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5check_version</code> verifies that the arguments provided 
-        with the function call match the version numbers compiled into 
-        the library.  
-        <p>
-        <code>H5check_version</code> serves two slightly differing purposes.
-        <p>
-        First, the function is intended to be called by the user to verify 
-        that the version of the header files compiled into an application 
-        matches the version of the HDF5 library being used.  
-        One may look at the <code>H5check</code> definition in the file 
-        <code>H5public.h</code> as an example.
-        <p>
-        Due to the risks of data corruption or segmentation faults, 
-        <code>H5check_version</code> causes the application to abort if the
-        version numbers do not match.
-	The abort is achieved by means of a call to the
-        standard C function <code>abort()</code>.
-        <p>
-        Note that <code>H5check_version</code> verifies only the 
-        major and minor version numbers and the release number; 
-        it does not verify the sub-release value as that should be 
-        an empty string for any official release.
-	This means that any two incompatible library versions must
-	have different {major,minor,release} numbers. (Notice the
-	reverse is not necessarily true.)
-        <p>
-        Secondarily, <code>H5check_version</code> verifies that the 
-        library version identifiers <code>H5_VERS_MAJOR</code>, 
-        <code>H5_VERS_MINOR</code>, <code>H5_VERS_RELEASE</code>, 
-        <code>H5_VERS_SUBRELEASE</code>, and <code>H5_VERS_INFO</code> 
-        are consistent.
-        This is designed to catch source code inconsistencies, 
-        but does not generate the fatal error as in the first stage
-	because this inconsistency does not cause errors in the data files.
-        If this check reveals inconsistencies, the library issues a warning
-        but the function does not fail.
-<!--
-        <p>
-<strong><em>Alternate to preceding paragraph / More to the point?</em></strong>
-<br>
-        If the function passes the above test and does not generate 
-        an <code>abort()</code> call, the function's second purpose 
-        comes into play. 
-        <code>H5check_version</code> then procedes to verify
-        that the additional library version identifiers 
-        <code>H5_VERS_SUBRELEASE</code>, and <code>H5_VERS_INFO</code> 
-        are consistent.
-        This is designed to catch source code inconsistencies, 
-        but does not generate the fatal error 
-        that is generated under the first function.
-        <p>
-        The version and release numbers passed as 
-        <code>H5check_version</code> parameters have the 
-        following relationsips to each other:  
-        <dir>
-            An official HDF5 release is labelled as

-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Instructs library not to install <code>atexit</code> cleanup routine.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5dont_atexit</code> indicates to the library that an 
-        <code>atexit()</code> cleanup routine should not be installed.  
-        The major purpose for this is in situations where the 
-        library is dynamically linked into an application and is 
-        un-linked from the application before <code>exit()</code> gets 
-        called.  In those situations, a routine installed with 
-        <code>atexit()</code> would jump to a routine which was 
-        no longer in memory, causing errors.
-        <p>
-        In order to be effective, this routine <em>must</em> be called 
-        before any other HDF function calls, and must be called each 
-        time the library is loaded/linked into the application 
-        (the first time and after it's been un-loaded).

-        <p>
-        When the HDF5 Library is employed in a C application,
-        this function is normally called automatically, but if you

-        starts working with the library as there are no damaging 
-        side-effects in calling it more than once.
-        <p>
-        When the HDF5 Library is employed in a Fortran90 application,
-        <code>h5open_f</code> initializes global variables 
-        (e.g. predefined types) and performs other tasks required to
-        initialize the library.
-        <code>h5open_f</code> and <code>h5close_f</code> are therefore

-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5set_free_list_limits</code> sets size limits 
-        on all types of free lists.
-	The HDF5 library uses free lists internally to manage memory.
-	There are three types of free lists:
-	<ul><li><span class=termDef>Regular</span> 
-	        free lists manage a single data structure.
-	    <li><span class=termDef>Array</span> 
-	        free lists manage arrays of a data structure.
-	    <li><span class=termDef>Block</span> 
-	        free lists manage blocks of bytes.
-	</ul> 
-	<em>Alternate phrasing?</em>:
-	<ul><li><span class=termDef>Regular</span> 
-	        free lists manage data structures containing atomic data.
-	    <li><span class=termDef>Array</span> 
-	        free lists manage data structures containing array data.
-	    <li><span class=termDef>Block</span> 
-	        free lists manage blocks of bytes.
-	</ul> 
-	<p>
-	These are global limits, but each limit applies only to 
-        free lists of the specified type. 
-        Therefore, if an application sets a 1Mb limit on each of 
-        the global lists, up to 3Mb of total storage might be 
-	allocated, 1Mb for each of the regular, array, and 
-	block type lists.
-	<p>
-        Using a value of <code>-1</code> for a limit means that 
-	no limit is set for the specified type of free list.

-The Attribute interface, H5A, is primarily designed to easily allow 
-small datasets to be attached to primary datasets as metadata information. 
-Additional goals for the H5A interface include keeping storage requirement 
-for each attribute to a minimum and easily sharing attributes among 
-datasets. 
-<p>
-Because attributes are intended to be small objects, large datasets 
-intended as additional information for a primary dataset should be 
-stored as supplemental datasets in a group with the primary dataset. 
-Attributes can then be attached to the group containing everything 
-to indicate a particular type of dataset with supplemental datasets 
-is located in the group. How small is "small" is not defined by the 
-library and is up to the user's interpretation. 
-<p>
-See <a href="Attributes.html"><cite>Attributes</cite></a> in the
-<a href="H5.user.html"><cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite></a> for further information.

-        <p>
-        Currently only simple dataspaces are allowed for attribute dataspaces.
-        <p>

-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Aiterate</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>loc_id</code>,
-        <em>unsigned *</em> <code>idx</code>,
-        <em>H5A_operator_t</em> <code>op</code>,
-        <em>void *</em><code>op_data</code>
-    )
-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Calls a user's function for each attribute on an object.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Aiterate</code> iterates over the attributes of
-        the object specified by its identifier, <code>loc_id</code>.
-        The object can be a group, dataset, or named datatype.
-        For each attribute of the object, the <code>op_data</code>
-        and some additional information specified below are passed 
-        to the operator function <code>op</code>.
-        The iteration begins with the attribute specified by its
-        index, <code>idx</code>; the index for the next attribute 
-        to be processed by the operator, <code>op</code>, is 
-        returned in <code>idx</code>.
-        If <code>idx</code> is the null pointer, then all attributes
-        are processed.
-        <p>
-        The prototype for <code>H5A_operator_t</code> is: <br>
-            <code>typedef herr_t (*H5A_operator_t)(hid_t <em>loc_id</em>,
-                  const char *<em>attr_name</em>, 
-                  void *<em>operator_data</em>);
-            </code>
-        <p>
-        The operation receives the identifier for the group, dataset
-        or named datatype being iterated over, <code>loc_id</code>, the
-        name of the current attribute about the object, <code>attr_name</code>,
-        and the pointer to the operator data passed in to <code>H5Aiterate</code>,
-        <code>op_data</code>.  The return values from an operator are:
-        <ul>
-        <li>Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all 
-            attributes have been processed.
-        <li>Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive
-            value, indicating short-circuit success.  The iterator can be
-            restarted at the next attribute.
-        <li>Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value,
-            indicating failure.  The iterator can be restarted at the next
-            attribute.
-        </ul>

-    <dd><code>H5Dcreate</code> creates a data set with a name, 
-        <code>name</code>, in the file or in the group specified by 
-        the identifier <code>loc_id</code>.
-        The dataset has the datatype and dataspace identified by
-        <code>type_id</code> and <code>space_id</code>, respectively.
-        The specified datatype and dataspace are the datatype and
-        dataspace of the dataset as it will exist in the file,
-        which may be different than in application memory.
-        Dataset creation properties are specified by the argument
-        <code>create_plist_id</code>.
-        <p>
-        Dataset names within a group are unique:
-        <code>H5Dcreate</code> will return an error if a dataset with
-        the name specified in <code>name</code> already exists at the
-        location specified in <code>loc_id</code>.
-        <p>
-        <code>create_plist_id</code> is a <code>H5P_DATASET_CREATE</code>
-        property list created with <code>H5Pcreate</code> and
-        initialized with the various functions described above.
-	<p>
-	<code>H5Dcreate</code> returns an error if the dataset's datatype 
-	includes a variable-length (VL) datatype and the fill value 
-	is undefined, i.e., set to <code>NULL</code> in the 
-	dataset creation property list. 
-	Such a VL datatype may be directly included,  
-	indirectly included as part of a compound or array datatype, or 
-	indirectly included as part of a nested compound or array datatype.
-	<p>
-        <code>H5Dcreate</code> returns a dataset identifier for success
-        or a negative value for failure. 
-	The dataset identifier should eventually be closed by 
-        calling <code>H5Dclose</code> to release resources it uses.
-	<p>
-	<strong>Fill values and space allocation:</strong><br>
-	The HDF5 library provides flexible means 
-	of specifying a fill value, 
-	of specifying when space will be allocated for a dataset, and
-	of specifying when fill values will be written to a dataset.

-	<a href="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/Fill_Value/FillValue.html">

-<dt><strong>Note:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Dcreate</code> can fail if there has been an error
-        in setting up an element of the dataset creation property list.
-        In such cases, each item in the property list must be examined
-        to ensure that the setup satisfies to all required conditions.
-        This problem is most likely to occur with the use of filters.
-        <p>
-        For example, <code>H5Dcreate</code> will fail without a meaningful
-        explanation if 
-        <ul>
-          <li>SZIP compression is being used on the dataset and 
-          <li>the SZIP parameter <code>pixels_per_block</code> 
-              is set to an inappropriate value.
-        </ul>
-        <p>
-        In such a case, one would refer to the description of 
-        <a href="RM_H5P.html#Property-SetSzip"><code>H5Pset_szip</code></a>,

-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Dfill</code> explicitly fills 
-        the dataspace selection in memory, <code>space_id</code>, 
-        with the fill value specified in <code>fill</code>.
-        If <code>fill</code> is <code>NULL</code>, 
-        a fill value of <code>0</code> (zero) is used.
-        <p>
-	<code>fill_type_id</code> specifies the datatype 
-	of the fill value.<br>
-	<code>buf</code> specifies the buffer in which 
-	the dataspace elements will be written.<br>
-	<code>buf_type_id</code> specifies the datatype of 
-	those data elements.
-	<p>
-        Note that if the fill value datatype differs 
-        from the memory buffer datatype, the fill value 
-        will be converted to the memory buffer datatype 
-        before filling the selection.
-<dt><strong>Note:</strong>
-    <dd>Applications sometimes write data only to portions of 
-	an allocated dataset.  It is often useful in such cases 
-	to fill the unused space with a known 
-	<span class="termEmphasis">fill value</span>.

-        is ignored by the library and the dataset's dataspace is always used.
-        <code>file_space_id</code> can be the constant <code>H5S_ALL</code>. 
-        which indicates that the entire file dataspace, as defined by the
-        current dimensions of the dataset, is to be selected.
-        <p>
-        <code>mem_space_id</code> is used to specify both the memory dataspace
-        and the selection within that dataspace.
-        <code>mem_space_id</code> can be the constant <code>H5S_ALL</code>,
-        in which case the file dataspace is used for the memory dataspace and

-        <p>
-        <code>file_space_id</code> is used to specify only the selection within
-        the file dataset's dataspace.  Any dataspace specified in <code>file_space_id</code>
-        is ignored by the library and the dataset's dataspace is always used.
-        <code>file_space_id</code> can be the constant <code>H5S_ALL</code>. 
-        which indicates that the entire file dataspace, as defined by the
-        current dimensions of the dataset, is to be selected.
-        <p>
-        <code>mem_space_id</code> is used to specify both the memory dataspace
-        and the selection within that dataspace.
-        <code>mem_space_id</code> can be the constant <code>H5S_ALL</code>,
-        in which case the file dataspace is used for the memory dataspace and
-        the selection defined with <code>file_space_id</code> is used for the
-        selection within that dataspace.
-        <p>
-        The behavior of the library for the various combinations of valid
-        dataspace IDs and H5S_ALL for the <code>mem_space_id</code> and the
-        <code>file_space_id</code> parameters is described below:

-        Setting an "all" selection indicates that the entire dataspace, as
-        defined by the current dimensions of a dataspace, will be selected.
-        The number of elements selected in the memory dataspace must match the
-        number of elements selected in the file dataspace.

-        <code>xfer_plist_id</code> can be the constant <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code>.

-        <p>
-        Writing to an dataset will fail if the HDF5 file was 
-        not opened with write access permissions.
-        <p>
-        Data is automatically converted from the memory datatype 
-        and dataspace to the file datatype and dataspace
-	at the time of the write.  See the
-        <a href="Datatypes.html#Datatypes-DataConversion">Data Conversion</a> 
-        section of <cite>The Data Type Interface (H5T)</cite> in the 
-        <cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite> for a discussion of 
-        data conversion, including the range of conversions currently 
-        supported by the HDF5 libraries.
-        <p>
-	If the dataset's space allocation time is set to 
-	<code>H5D_ALLOC_TIME_LATE</code> or <code>H5D_ALLOC_TIME_INCR</code>
-	and the space for the dataset has not yet been allocated, 
-	that space is allocated when the first raw data is written to the 
-	dataset.
-	Unused space in the dataset will be written with fill values at the 
-	same time if the dataset's fill time is set to 
-	<code>H5D_FILL_TIME_IFSET</code> or <code>H5D_FILL_TIME_ALLOC</code>.
-	(Also see 
-	<a href="RM_H5P.html#Property-SetFillTime">H5Pset_fill_time</a>
-	and 
-	<a href="RM_H5P.html#Property-SetAllocTime">H5Pset_alloc_time</a>.)
-        <p>
-        If a dataset's storage layout is 'compact', care must be taken when
-        writing data to the dataset in parallel.  A compact dataset's raw data
-        is cached in memory and may be flushed to the file from any of the
-        parallel processes, so parallel applications should always attempt to
-        write identical data to the dataset from all processes.

-<p>
-The Error interface provides error handling in the form of a stack.  
-The <code>FUNC_ENTER()</code> macro clears the error stack whenever 
-an interface function is entered.  
-When an error is detected, an entry is pushed onto the stack.  
-As the functions unwind, additional entries are pushed onto the stack. 
-The API function will return some indication that an error occurred and 
-the application can print the error stack.
-<p>
-Certain API functions in the H5E package, such as <code>H5Eprint</code>,
-do not clear the error stack.  Otherwise, any function which
-does not have an underscore immediately after the package name
-will clear the error stack.  For instance, <code>H5Fopen</code> 
-clears the error stack while <code>H5F_open</code> does not.
-<p>
-An error stack has a fixed maximum size.  
-If this size is exceeded then the stack will be truncated and only the
-inner-most functions will have entries on the stack. 
-This is expected to be a rare condition. 
-<p>
-Each thread has its own error stack, but since
-multi-threading has not been added to the library yet, this
-package maintains a single error stack. The error stack is
-statically allocated to reduce the complexity of handling
-errors within the H5E package.

-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Ewalk_cb</code>(<em>int</em> <code>n</code>,
-        <em>H5E_error_t *</em><code>err_desc</code>,
-        <em>void</em> <code>*client_data</code>
-    )
-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Default error stack traversal callback function
-        that prints error messages to the specified output stream.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Ewalk_cb</code> is a default error stack traversal callback
-        function that prints error messages to the specified output stream.
-        It is not meant to be called directly but rather as an
-        argument to the <code>H5Ewalk</code> function.  
-        This function is called also by <code>H5Eprint</code>.  
-        Application writers are encouraged to use this function as a 
-        model for their own error stack walking functions.
-        <p>
-        <code>n</code> is a counter for how many times this function 
-        has been called for this particular traversal of the stack.  
-        It always begins at zero for the first error on the stack 
-        (either the top or bottom error, or even both, depending on 
-        the traversal direction and the size of the stack).
-        <p>
-        <code>err_desc</code> is an error description.  It contains all the
-        information about a particular error. 
-        <p>
-        <code>client_data</code> is the same pointer that was passed as the
-        <code>client_data</code> argument of <code>H5Ewalk</code>.  
-        It is expected to be a file pointer (or stderr if NULL). 
-<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
-    <ul><table>
-        <tr>
-	    <td valign="top"><em>int</em> <code>n</code></td>
-            <td valign="top">IN/OUT: Number of times this function has been called

-    <dd><em>herr_t </em><code>H5Fclose</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>file_id</code>
-        )
-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-        <dd>Terminates access to an HDF5 file.  
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-        <dd><code>H5Fclose</code> terminates access to an HDF5 file
-            by flushing all data to storage and terminating access
-            to the file through <code>file_id</code>.  
-            <p>
-            If this is the last file identifier open for the file 
-            and no other access identifier is open (e.g., a dataset 
-            identifier, group identifier, or shared datatype identifier),
-            the file will be fully closed and access will end.
-            <p>
-            <strong>Delayed close:</strong> 
-            <br>
-            Note the following deviation from the above-described behavior.
-            If <code>H5Fclose</code> is called for a file but one or more 
-            objects within the file remain open, those objects will remain 
-            accessible until they are individually closed.  
-            Thus, if the dataset <code>data_sample</code> is open when 
-            <code>H5Fclose</code> is called for the file containing it, 
-            <code>data_sample</code> will remain open and accessible 
-            (including writable) until it is explicitely closed.  
-            The file will be automatically closed once all objects in the
-            file have been closed.
-            <p>
-            Be warned, hoever, that there are circumstances where it is 
-            not possible to delay closing a file.  
-            For example, an MPI-IO file close is a collective call; all of
-            the processes that opened the file must close it collectively.
-            The file cannot be closed at some time in the future by each 
-            process in an independent fashion.
-            Another example is that an application using an AFS token-based 
-            file access privilage may destroy its AFS token after 
-            <code>H5Fclose</code> has returned successfully.  
-            This would make any future access to the file, or any object 
-            within it, illegal. 
-            <p>
-            In such situations, applications must close all open objects 
-            in a file before calling <code>H5Fclose</code>.  
-            It is generally recommended to do so in all cases.

-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-        <dd><code>H5Fcreate</code> is the primary function for creating 
-            HDF5 files . 
-            <p>
-            The <code>flags</code> parameter determines whether an 
-            existing file will be overwritten.  All newly created files 
-            are opened for both reading and writing.  All flags may be 
-            combined with the bit-wise OR operator (`|') to change 
-            the behavior of the <code>H5Fcreate</code> call.
-            <p>
-            The more complex behaviors of file creation and access
-            are controlled through the file-creation and file-access
-            property lists.  The value of <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code> for 
-            a property list value indicates that the library should use
-            the default values for the appropriate property list.
-            <p>
-            The return value is a file identifier for the newly-created file;
-            this file identifier should be closed by calling 
-            <code>H5Fclose</code> when it is no longer needed.

-            <b>Special case -- File creation in the case of an 
-            already-open file:</b>
-            <br>
-            If a file being created is already opened, by either a 
-            previous <code>H5Fopen</code> or <code>H5Fcreate</code> call, 
-            the HDF5 library may or may not detect that the open file and 
-            the new file are the same physical file. 
-            (See <a href="#File-Open"><code>H5Fopen</code></a> regarding 
-            the limitations in detecting the re-opening of an already-open 
-            file.) 
-            <p>
-            If the library detects that the file is already opened, 
-            <code>H5Fcreate</code> will return a failure, regardless 
-            of the use of <code>H5F_ACC_TRUNC</code>.
-            <p>
-            If the library does not detect that the file is already opened 
-            and <code>H5F_ACC_TRUNC</code> is not used, 
-            <code>H5Fcreate</code> will return a failure because the file 
-            already exists.  Note that this is correct behavior.
-            <p>
-            But if the library does not detect that the file is already 
-            opened and <code>H5F_ACC_TRUNC</code> is used, 
-            <code>H5Fcreate</code> will truncate the existing file
-            and return a valid file identifier.
-            Such a truncation of a currently-opened file will almost 
-            certainly result in errors. 
-            While unlikely, the HDF5 library may not be able to detect,
-            and thus report, such errors.
-            <p>
-            Applications should avoid calling <code>H5Fcreate</code> 
-            with an already opened file.

-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Obtain current metadata cache configuration for target file.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Fget_mdc_config</code> loads the current metadata cache 
-      configuration into the instance of <code>H5AC_cache_config_t</code> 
-      pointed to by the <code>config_ptr</code> parameter.
-
-    <p>Note that the version field of *<code>config_ptr</code> must 
-      be initialized --this allows the library to support old versions 
-      of the <code>H5AC_cache_config_t</code> structure.
-
-    <p>See the overview of the metadata cache in the special topics section 
-      of the user manual for details on metadata cache configuration.

-            <p>
-            The parameter <code>access_id</code> is a file access property
-            list identifier or <code>H5P_DEFAULT</code> if the 
-            default I/O access parameters are to be used  
-            <p>
-            The <code>flags</code> argument determines whether writing 
-            to an existing file will be allowed.  
-            The file is opened with read and write permission if 
-            <code>flags</code> is set to <code>H5F_ACC_RDWR</code>.  
-            All flags may be combined with the bit-wise OR operator (`|') 
-            to change the behavior of the file open call.  
-            More complex behaviors of file access are controlled 
-            through the file-access property list.
-            <p>
-            The return value is a file identifier for the open file;
-            this file identifier should be closed by calling 
-            <code>H5Fclose</code> when it is no longer needed. 
-            <p>
-
-            <b>Special case -- Multiple opens:</b>
-            <br>
-            A file can often be opened with a new <code>H5Fopen</code> 
-            call without closing an already-open identifier established 
-            in a previous <code>H5Fopen</code> or <code>H5Fcreate</code> 
-            call.  Each such <code>H5Fopen</code> call will return a 
-            unique identifier and the file can be accessed through any 
-            of these identifiers as long as the identifier remains valid.
-            In such multiply-opened cases, all the open calls should 
-            use the same <code>flags</code> argument. 
-            <p>
-            In some cases, such as files on a local Unix file system, 
-            the HDF5 library can detect that a file is multiply opened and 
-            will maintain coherent access among the file identifiers.
-            <p>
-            But in many other cases, such as parallel file systems or
-            networked file systems, it is not always possible to detect 
-            multiple opens of the same physical file.  
-            In such cases, HDF5 will treat the file identifiers 
-            as though they are accessing different files and
-            will be unable to maintain coherent access.
-            Errors are likely to result in these cases.
-            While unlikely, the HDF5 library may not be able to detect,
-            and thus report, such errors.
-            <p>
-            It is generally recommended that applications avoid 
-            multiple opens of the same file.

-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-        <dd>Returns a new identifier for a previously-opened HDF5 file.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-        <dd><code>H5Freopen</code> returns a new file identifier for an
-            already-open HDF5 file, as specified by <code>file_id</code>.  
-            Both identifiers share caches and other information.  
-            The only difference between the identifiers is that the 
-            new identifier is not mounted anywhere and no files are 
-            mounted on it.
-            <p>
-            Note that there is no circumstance under which 
-            <code>H5Freopen</code> can actually open a closed file; 
-            the file  must already be open and have an active 
-            <code>file_id</code>.  E.g., one cannot close a file with 
-            <code> H5Fclose&nbsp;(file_id) </code> then use 
-            <code> H5Freopen&nbsp;(file_id) </code> to reopen it.
-            <p>
-            The new file identifier should be closed by calling
-            <code>H5Fclose</code> when it is no longer needed.

-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-        <dd>Unmounts a file.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-        <dd>Given a mount point, <code>H5Funmount</code> 
-            dissassociates the mount point's file
-            from the file mounted there.  This function
-            does  not close either file.
-            <p> 
-            The mount point can be either the group in the
-            parent or the root group of the mounted file 
-            (both groups have the same name).  If the mount 
-            point was opened before the mount then it is the 
-            group in the parent; if it was opened after the 
-            mount then it is the root group of the child.
-            <p>
-            Note that <code>loc_id</code> is either a file or group identifier
-            and <code>name</code> is relative to <code>loc_id</code>.

-    descriptions of the Fortran90 APIs to HDF5.
-    Fortran subroutines exist in the H5, H5A, H5D, H5E, H5F, H5G, H5I, H5P, 
-    H5R, H5S, H5T, and H5Z interfaces and are described on those pages.
-    In general, each Fortran subroutine performs exactly the same task 
-    as the corresponding C function.  
-
-	<p>  
-    Whereas Fortran subroutines had been described on separate pages in
-    prior releases, those descriptions were fully integrated into the 
-    body of the reference manual for HDF5 Release 1.6.2 
-    (and mostly so for Release 1.6.1).  
-    <p>
-    <a href="fortran/F90Flags.html" target="External">
-    <cite>HDF5 Fortran90 Flags and Datatypes</cite></a>
-    lists the flags employed in the Fortran90 interface and 
-    contains a pointer to the HDF5 Fortran90 datatypes.

-A group associates names with objects and provides a mechanism
-for mapping a name to an object. Since all objects appear in at 
-least one group (with the possible exception of the root object) 
-and since objects can have names in more than one group, the set 
-of all objects in an HDF5 file is a directed graph.  The internal
-nodes (nodes with out-degree greater than zero) must be groups 
-while the leaf nodes (nodes with out-degree zero) are either empty 
-groups or objects of some other type.  Exactly one object in every 
-non-empty file is the root object.  The root object always has a 
-positive in-degree because it is pointed to by the file super block.
-
-<p>
-An object name consists of one or more components separated from
-one another by slashes. An absolute name begins with a slash and the
-object is located by looking for the first component in the root
-object, then looking for the second component in the first object, etc.,
-until the entire name is traversed.  A relative name does not begin 
-with a slash and the traversal begins at the location specified by the 
-create or access function.

-    <dd><code>H5Gcreate</code> creates a new group with the specified

-        The location is identified by a file or group identifier.

-        <p>
-	  <code>size_hint</code> is a hint for the number of bytes to
-	  reserve to store the names which will be eventually added to
-	  the new group.  Passing a value of zero for <code>size_hint</code>
-	  is usually adequate since the library is able to dynamically
-	  resize the name heap, but a correct hint may result in better
-	  performance.  
-        If a non-positive value is supplied for <code>size_hint</code>, 
-        then a default size is chosen.
-        <p>
-        The return value is a group identifier for the open group.
-	This group identifier should be closed by calling 
-        <code>H5Gclose</code> when it is no longer needed.

-                  } H5G_stat_t
-        </pre>
-

-        The <code>fileno</code> and <code>objno</code> fields contain

-        HDF5 files which are open: if all four values are the same 
-        between two objects, then the two objects are the same 
-        (provided both files are still open).  
-        <ul>
-        <li>Note that if a file is closed and re-opened, the
-        value in <code>fileno</code> will change.
-        <li>If a VFL driver either does not or cannot detect that 
-        two <code>H5Fopen</code> calls referencing the same file 
-        actually open the same file, each will get a different 
-        <code>fileno</code>.
-        </ul>
-        <p>
-        The <code>nlink</code> field is the number of hard links to

-        <p>
-        The <code>mtime</code> field contains the modification time.
-        <p>
-        If information is being returned about a symbolic link then 
-        <code>linklen</code> will be the length of the link value 
-        (the name of the pointed-to object with the null terminator);
-        otherwise <code>linklen</code> will be zero.  
-        <p>
-        The fields in the <code>H5O_stat_t</code> struct contain information
-        about the object header for the object queried:

-                <dt><code>size</code>
-                <dd>The total size of all the object header information in

-                <dt><code>free</code>
-                <dd>The size of unused space in the object header.
-                <dt><code>nmesgs</code>
-                <dd>The number of object header messages.
-                <dt><code>nchunks</code>
-                <dd>The number of chunks the object header is broken up into.
-            </dl> </ul>
-
-        <p>
-        Other fields may be added to this structure in the future.
-  <dt><strong>Note:</strong>
-    <dd>Some systems will be able to record the time accurately but
-        unable to retrieve the correct time; such systems (e.g., Irix64) 
-        will report an <code>mtime</code> value of 0 (zero).

-        <em>const char</em> <code>*name</code>,
-        <em>int</em> <code>*idx</code>,
-        <em>H5G_iterate_t</em> <code>operator</code>,
-        <em>void</em> <code>*operator_data</code>
-    )
-  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Iterates an operation over the entries of a group.
-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Giterate</code> iterates over the members of 
-        <code>name</code> in the file or group specified with 
-        <code>loc_id</code>.  
-        For each object in the group, the <code>operator_data</code> 
-        and some additional information, specified below, are
-        passed to the <code>operator</code> function.  
-        The iteration begins with the <code>idx</code> object in the 
-        group and the next element to be processed by the operator is 
-        returned in <code>idx</code>.  If <code>idx</code>
-        is NULL, then the iterator starts at the first group member; 
-        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.  
-        <p>
-        The prototype for <code>H5G_iterate_t</code> is:
-        <table>
-		    <tr>
-			  <td valign="top">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
-			  <td valign="top"><code>typedef</code> <em>herr_t </em>(*<code>H5G_iterate_t</code>)
-			                   (<em>hid_t</em> <code>group_id</code>, <em>const char *</em>
-							   <code>member_name</code>, <em>void *</em><code>operator_data</code>);</td></tr>
-        </table>
-				
-        <p>The operation receives the group identifier for the group being 
-        iterated over, <code>group_id</code>, the name of the current 
-        object within the group, <code>member_name</code>, and the 
-        pointer to the operator data passed in to <code>H5Giterate</code>, 
-        <code>operator_data</code>.  
-        <p>
-        The return values from an operator are:
-        <ul>
-            <li>Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning 
-                zero when all group members have been processed.
-            <li>Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive
-                value, indicating short-circuit success.  The iterator can be
-                restarted at the next group member.
-            <li>Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value,
-                indicating failure.  The iterator can be restarted at the next
-                group member.
-        </ul>
-        <p>
-        <code>H5Giterate</code> assumes that the membership of the group 
-        identified by <code>name</code> remains unchanged through the 
-        iteration.  If the membership changes during the iteration, 
-        the function's behavior is undefined.

-  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Removes the link to an object from a group. 
-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Gunlink</code> removes the object specified by 
-        <code>name</code> from the group graph and decrements the 
-        link count for the object to which <code>name</code> points.
-        This action eliminates any association between <code>name</code>
-        and the object to which <code>name</code> pointed.
-        <p>
-        Object headers keep track of how many hard links refer to an object;
-        when the link count reaches zero, the object can be removed  
-        from the file.  Objects which are open are not removed until all  
-        identifiers to the object are closed.
-        <p>
-        If the link count reaches zero, all file space associated with 
-        the object will be released, i.e., identified in memory as freespace.
-        If the any object identifier is open for the object, the space
-        will not be released until after the object identifier is closed.
-        <p>
-        Note that space identified as freespace is available for re-use 
-        only as long as the file remains open; once a file has been 
-        closed, the HDF5 library loses track of freespace.  See
-        &ldquo;<a href="Performance.html#Freespace">Freespace Management</a>&rdquo;
-        in the <cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite> for further details.

-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Decrements the reference count for an object.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Idec_ref</code> decrements the reference count of the object
-        identified by <code>obj_id</code>.
-
-        <p>
-        The reference count for an object ID is attached to the information
-        about an object in memory and has no relation to the number of links to
-        an object on disk.
-
-        <p>
-        The reference count for a newly created object will be 1.
-        Reference counts for objects may be explicitly modified with this
-        function or with <code>H5Iinc_ref</code>.
-        When an object ID's reference count reaches zero, the object will be
-        closed.
-        Calling an object ID's 'close' function decrements the reference count
-        for the ID which normally closes the object, but
-        if the reference count for the ID has been incremented with
-        <code>H5Iinc_ref</code>, the object will only be closed when the
-        reference count
-        reaches zero with further calls to this function or the
-        object ID's 'close' function.
-
-        <p>
-        If the object ID was created by a collective parallel call (such as
-        <code>H5Dcreate</code>, <code>H5Gopen</code>, etc.), the reference
-        count should be modified by all the processes which have copies of
-        the ID.  Generally this means that group, dataset, attribute, file
-        and named datatype IDs should be modified by all the processes and
-        that all other types of IDs are safe to modify by individual processes.
-
-        <p>
-        This function is of particular value when an application is maintaining
-        multiple copies of an object ID.  The object ID can be incremented when
-        a copy is made.  Each copy of the ID can then be safely closed or
-        decremented and the HDF5 object will be closed when the reference count
-        for that that object drops to zero.

-    <dd>Increments the reference count for an object.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Iinc_ref</code> increments the reference count of the object
-        identified by <code>obj_id</code>.
-
-        <p>
-        The reference count for an object ID is attached to the information
-        about an object in memory and has no relation to the number of links to
-        an object on disk.
-
-        <p>
-        The reference count for a newly created object will be 1.
-        Reference counts for objects may be explicitly modified with this
-        function or with <code>H5Idec_ref</code>.
-        When an object ID's reference count reaches zero, the object will be
-        closed.
-        Calling an object ID's 'close' function decrements the reference count
-        for the ID which normally closes the object, but
-        if the reference count for the ID has been incremented with this
-        function, the object will only be closed when the reference count
-        reaches zero with further calls to <code>H5Idec_ref</code> or the
-        object ID's 'close' function.
-
-        <p>
-        If the object ID was created by a collective parallel call (such as
-        <code>H5Dcreate</code>, <code>H5Gopen</code>, etc.), the reference
-        count should be modified by all the processes which have copies of
-        the ID.  Generally this means that group, dataset, attribute, file
-        and named datatype IDs should be modified by all the processes and
-        that all other types of IDs are safe to modify by individual processes.
-
-        <p>
-        This function is of particular value when an application is maintaining
-        multiple copies of an object ID.  The object ID can be incremented when
-        a copy is made.  Each copy of the ID can then be safely closed or
-        decremented and the HDF5 object will be closed when the reference count
-        for that that object drops to zero.

-    
-    <p>
-    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 property information will be copied from the source class 
-    into the destination class.  
-	
-    <p>
-    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 <code>close</code> 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 <code>copy</code> 
-    callback for the property, if one exists).
-	
-    <p>
-    If the property does not exist in the class or list, this call is 
-    equivalent to calling <code>H5Pregister</code> or <code>H5Pinsert</code> 
-    (for a class or list, as appropriate) and the <code>create</code> 
-    callback will be called in the case of the property being 
-    copied into a list (if such a callback exists for the property).

-  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Registers a temporary property with a property list.
-
-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Pinsert</code> create a new property in a property list.  
-    The property will exist only in this property list and copies made 
-    from it.  
-	
-    <p>
-    The initial property value must be provided in 
-    <code>value</code> and the property value will be set accordingly.  
-	
-    <p>
-    The name of the property must not already exist in this list, 
-    or this routine will fail.  
-	
-    <p>
-    The <code>set</code> and <code>get</code> callback routines may 
-    be set to NULL if they are not needed.
-
-    <p>
-    Zero-sized properties are allowed and do not store any data in the
-    property list.  The default value of a zero-size property may be set 
-    to NULL.  They may be used to indicate the presence or absence of a 
-    particular piece of information.
-    </p>
-
-    The <code>set</code> routine is called before a new value is copied 
-    into the property.  
-    The <code>H5P_prp_set_func_t</code> callback function is defined 
-    as follows:
-        <ul><em>typedef herr_t</em> (*<code>H5P_prp_set_func_t</code>)(
-            <em>hid_t</em> <code>prop_id</code>,
-            <em>const char *</em><code>name</code>,
-            <em>size_t </em><code>size</code>,
-            <em>void *</em><code>new_value</code>);
-        </ul>
-    The parameters to the callback function are defined as follows:
-    <ul><table>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>hid_t</em> <code>prop_id</code></td>
-        <td>IN: The identifier of the property list being modified</td></tr>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>const char *</em><code>name</code></td>
-        <td>IN: The name of the property being modified</td></tr>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>size_t </em> <code>size</code></td>

-        <td>IN: Pointer to new value pointer for the property being 
-		    modified</td></tr>
-    </table></ul>
-    The <code>set</code> routine may modify the value pointer to be set 
-    and those changes will be used when setting the property's value.  
-    If the <code>set</code> routine returns a negative value, the new 
-    property value is not copied into the property and the set routine 
-    returns an error value.  
-    The <code>set</code> routine will be called for the initial value.
-    <p>
-    <strong>Note:</strong> 
-    The <code>set</code> callback function may be useful 
-    to range check the value being set for the property 
-    or may perform some transformation or translation of the
-    value set.  The <code>get</code> callback would then 
-    reverse the transformation or translation.  
-    A single <code>get</code> or <code>set</code> callback 
-    could handle multiple properties by 
-    performing different actions based on the
-    property name or other properties in the property list.
-
-    <p>
-    The <code>get</code> routine is called when a value is retrieved 
-    from a property value.  
-    The <code>H5P_prp_get_func_t</code> callback function is defined 
-    as follows:
-        <ul><em>typedef herr_t</em> (*<code>H5P_prp_get_func_t</code>)(
-            <em>hid_t</em> <code>prop_id</code>,

-            <em>void *</em><code>value</code>);
-        </ul>
-    where the parameters to the callback function are:
-    <ul><table>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>hid_t</em> <code>prop_id</code></td>
-        <td>IN: The identifier of the property list being queried</td></tr>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>const char *</em><code>name</code></td>

-    <tr>
-        <td><em>void *</em><code>value</code></td>
-        <td>IN: The value of the property being returned</td></tr>
-    </table></ul>
-    The <code>get</code> routine may modify the value to be returned from 
-    the query and those changes will be preserved. 
-    If the <code>get</code> routine returns a negative value, the query 
-    routine returns an error value.
-    </p>
-
-    <P>
-    The <code>delete</code> routine is called when a property is being 
-    deleted from a property list.  
-    The <code>H5P_prp_delete_func_t</code> callback function is defined 
-    as follows:
-        <ul><code>typedef herr_t</code> (*<code>H5P_prp_delete_func_t</code>)(
-            <em>hid_t </em><code>prop_id</code>,

-            <em>void *</em><code>value</code>);
-        </ul>
-    where the parameters to the callback function are:
-    <ul><table>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>hid_t</em> <code>prop_id</code></td>
-        <td>IN: The identifier of the property list the property is

-    <tr>
-        <td><em>void *</em> <code>value</code></td>
-        <td>IN: The value for the property being deleted</td></tr>
-    </table></ul>
-    The <code>delete</code> routine may modify the value passed in, 
-    but the value is not used by the library when the <code>delete</code> 
-    routine returns.  If the <code>delete</code> routine returns a 
-    negative value, the property list delete routine returns an 
-    error value but the property is still deleted. 
-    </P>
-    
-    <P>
-    The <code>copy</code> routine is called when a new property list 
-    with this property is being created through a copy operation.  
-    The <code>H5P_prp_copy_func_t</code> callback function is defined 
-    as follows:
-        <ul><em>typedef herr_t</em> (*<code>H5P_prp_copy_func_t</code>)(
-            <em>const char *</em><code>name</code>,
-            <em>size_t </em><code>size</code>,
-            <em>void *</em><code>value</code>);
-        </ul>
-    where the parameters to the callback function are:

-        <td>IN: The name of the property being copied</td></tr>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>size_t </em> <code>size</code></td>
-        <td>IN: The size of the property in bytes</td></tr>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>void *</em> <code>value</code></td>
-        <td>IN/OUT: The value for the property being copied</td></tr>
-    </table></ul>
-    The <code>copy</code> routine may modify the value to be set and 
-    those changes will be stored as the new value of the property.  
-    If the <code>copy</code> routine returns a negative value, the 
-    new property value is not copied into the property and the 
-    copy routine returns an error value.
-    </P>
-
-    <P>
-    The <code>compare</code> routine is called when a property list with 
-    this property is compared to another property list with the same property.
-    The <code>H5P_prp_compare_func_t</code> callback function is defined
-    as follows:
-        <ul><em>typedef int</em> (*<code>H5P_prp_compare_func_t</code>)(
-            <em>const void *</em><code>value1</code>,
-            <em>const void *</em><code>value2</code>,
-            <em>size_t </em><code>size</code>);
-        </ul>
-    The parameters to the callback function are defined as follows:
-    <ul><table>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>const void *</em><code>value1</code></td>
-        <td>IN: The value of the first property to compare</td></tr>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>const void *</em><code>value2</code></td>
-        <td>IN: The value of the second property to compare</td></tr>
-    <tr>
-        <td><em>size_t </em><code>size</code></td>
-        <td>IN: The size of the property in bytes</td></tr>
-    </table></ul>
-    The <code>compare</code> routine may <EM>not</EM> modify the values.
-    The <code>compare</code> routine should return a positive value if
-    <code>value1</code> is greater than <code>value2</code>, a negative value
-    if <code>value2</code> is greater than <code>value1</code> and zero if
-    <code>value1</code> and <code>value2</code> are equal.
-    </P>
-
-    <P>The <code>close</code> routine is called when a property list 
-    with this property is being closed.  
-    The <code>H5P_prp_close_func_t</code> callback function is defined

-  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Iterates over properties in a property class or list.
-
-  <dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
-    <dd><em>int</em> <code>H5Piterate</code>(
-               <em>hid_t</em> <code>id</code>,
-               <em>int *</em> <code>idx</code>,
-               <em>H5P_iterate_t</em> <code>iter_func</code>,
-               <em>void *</em> <code>iter_data</code>
-	)
-
-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <p><code>H5Piterate</code> iterates over the properties in the 
-    property object specified in <code>id</code>, which may be either a
-    property list or a property class, performing a specified 
-    operation on each property in turn.  
-	
-    <p>
-    For each property in the object, <code>iter_func</code> and
-    the additional information specified below are passed to the
-    <code>H5P_iterate_t</code> operator function.  
-	
-	<b><i>(NOTE: <code>iter_func</code> was changed to 
-	<code>H5P_iterate_t</code> in the preceding sentence.
-	Is this correct?)</i></b>
-	
-    <p>
-    The iteration begins with the <code>idx</code>-th property in 
-    the object; the next element to be processed by the operator 
-    is returned in <code>idx</code>.
-    If <code>idx</code> is NULL, 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.
-    </p>
-
-    The prototype for the <code>H5P_iterate_t</code> operator is
-    as follows:
-        <ul> <dl>
-            <dt><em>typedef herr_t</em> (*<code>H5P_iterate_t</code>)(
-                                  <em>hid_t</em> <code>id</code>, 
-                                  <em>const char *</em><code>>name</code>, 
-                                  <em>void *</em><code>iter_data</code>
-	        )
-        </dl> </ul>
-    The operation receives the property list or class identifier for 
-    the object being iterated over, <code>id</code>,
-    the name of the current property within the object, <code>name</code>, 
-    and the pointer to the operator data passed in to
-    <code>H5Piterate</code>, <code>iter_data</code>.
-    </p>
-
-    The valid return values from an operator are as follows:
-        <ul><table>
-        <tr>
-            <td valign=top>Zero</td>
-            <td>Causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all
-                properties have been processed</td></tr>
-        <tr>
-            <td valign=top>Positive</td>
-            <td>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</td></tr>
-        <tr>
-            <td valign=top>Negative</td>
-            <td>Causes the iterator to immediately return that value,
-                indicating failure.  The iterator can be restarted at the 
-                index of the next property</td></tr>
-        </table></ul>
-
-    <P>
-    <code>H5Piterate</code> assumes that the properties in the object 
-    identified by <code>id</code> remain unchanged through the iteration.  
-    If the membership changes during the iteration, the function's behavior 
-    is undefined.
-
-  <dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
-    <ul><table>

-  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Sets type conversion and background buffers.
-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd> Given a dataset transfer property list, <code>H5Pset_buffer</code> 
-         sets the maximum size
-         for the type conversion buffer and background buffer and
-         optionally supplies pointers to application-allocated buffers.
-         If the buffer size is smaller than the entire amount of data
-         being transferred between the application and the file, and a type
-         conversion buffer or background buffer is required, then
-         strip mining will be used.  
-         <p>
-         Note that there are minimum size requirements for the buffer.
-         Strip mining can only break the data up along the first dimension,
-         so the buffer must be large enough to accommodate a complete slice 
-         that encompasses all of the remaining dimensions.  
-         For example, when strip mining a 100x200x300 hyperslab 
-         of a simple data space, the buffer must be large enough to 
-         hold 1x200x300 data elements.  
-         When strip mining a 100x200x300x150 hyperslab of a simple data space, 
-         the buffer must be large enough to hold 1x200x300x150 data elements.  
-         <p>
-         If <code>tconv</code> and/or <code>bkg</code> are null pointers,
-         then buffers will be allocated and freed during the data transfer.  
-         <p>
-         The default value for the maximum buffer is 1 Mb.

-	The <em>plist_id</em> is a file access property list.

-        <p>
-        The <em>rdcc_w0</em> value should be between 0 and 1 inclusive and
-        indicates how much chunks that have been fully read are
-        favored for preemption.  A value of zero means fully read
-        chunks are treated no differently than other chunks (the

-  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Adds an external file to the list of external files.
-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd>The first call to <code>H5Pset_external</code> sets the

-        thus designating that the dataset will be stored in

-        This call also adds the file <code>name</code> as the 
-        first file in the list of external files.
-        Subsequent calls to the function add the named file as
-        the next file in the list.
-        <p>
-        If a dataset is split across multiple files, then the files
-        should be defined in order. The total size of the dataset is
-        the sum of the <code>size</code> arguments for all the external files.
-        If the total size is larger than the size of a dataset then the
-        dataset can be extended (provided the data space also allows
-        the extending).
-        <p>
-        The <code>size</code> argument specifies the number of bytes reserved 
-        for data in the external file.
-        If  <code>size</code> is set to <code>H5F_UNLIMITED</code>, the 
-        external file can be of unlimited size and no more files can be added 
-        to the external files list.
-        <p>
-        All of the external files for a given dataset must be 
-        specified with <code>H5Pset_external</code> 
-        <i>before</i> <code>H5Dcreate</code> is called to create 
-        the dataset. 
-        If one these files does not exist on the system when 
-        <code>H5Dwrite</code> is called to write data to it, 
-        the library will create the file.

-    <dd>Sets up use of the multi-file driver.
-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Pset_fapl_multi</code> sets the file access property list 
-        <code>fapl_id</code> to use the multi-file driver. 
-        <p>
-        The multi-file driver enables different types of HDF5 data and 
-        metadata to be written to separate files.  These files are viewed 
-        by the HDF5 library and the application as a single virtual HDF5 file
-        with a single HDF5 file address space.
-        The types of data that can be broken out into separate files include 
-        raw data, the superblock, B-tree data, global heap data, 
-        local heap data, and object headers.
-        At the programmer's discretion, two or more types of data can be 
-        written to the same file while other types of data are written to 
-        separate files.
-        <p>
-        The array <code>memb_map</code> maps memory usage types to other
-        memory usage types and is the mechanism that allows the caller 
-        to specify how many files are created. 
-        The array contains <code>H5FD_MEM_NTYPES</code> entries, 
-        which are either the value <code>H5FD_MEM_DEFAULT</code>
-        or a memory usage type.
-        The number of unique values determines the number of files 
-        that are opened.  
-        <p>
-        The array <code>memb_fapl</code> contains a property list
-        for each memory usage type that will be associated with a file. 
-        <p>
-        The array <code>memb_name</code> should be a name generator 
-        (a printf-style format with a %s which will be replaced with the
-        name passed to <code>H5FDopen</code>, usually from 
-        <code>H5Fcreate</code> or <code>H5Fopen</code>).
-        <p>
-        The array <code>memb_addr</code> specifies the offsets within the 
-        virtual address space, from <code>0</code> (zero) to 
-        <code>HADDR_MAX</code>, at which each type of data storage begins.
-        <p>
-        If <code>relax</code> is set to <code>TRUE</code> (or <code>1</code>),
-        then opening an existing file for read-only access will not fail 
-        if some file members are missing.  
-        This allows a file to be accessed in a limited sense if just the
-        meta data is available.
-        <p>
-        Default values for each of the optional arguments are as follows:
-        <dir>

-          <dt><code>memb_map</code>

-    <dd><code>H5Pset_fapl_split</code> is a compatibility function that
-        enables the multi-file driver to emulate the split driver from 
-        HDF5 Releases 1.0 and 1.2. 
-        The split file driver stored metadata and raw data in separate files
-        but provided no mechanism for separating types of metadata.
-        <p> 
-        <code>fapl_id</code> is a file access property list identifier.
-        <p> 
-        <code>meta_ext</code> is the filename extension for the metadata file.
-	The extension is appended to the name passed to <code>H5FDopen</code>,
-	usually from <code>H5Fcreate</code> or <code>H5Fopen</code>,
-	to form the name of the metadata file.
-	If the string %s is used in the extension, it works like the
-	name generator as in <code>H5Pset_fapl_multi</code>.
-        <p> 
-        <code>meta_plist_id</code> is the file access property list identifier 
-        for the metadata file.
-        <p> 
-        <code>raw_ext</code> is the filename extension for the raw data file.
-	The extension is appended to the name passed to <code>H5FDopen</code>,
-	usually from <code>H5Fcreate</code> or <code>H5Fopen</code>,
-	to form the name of the rawdata file.
-	If the string %s is used in the extension, it works like the
-	name generator as in <code>H5Pset_fapl_multi</code>.
-        <p> 
-        <code>raw_plist_id</code> is the file access property list identifier 
-        for the raw data file.
-        <p>
-        If a user wishes to check to see whether this driver is in use, 
-        the user must call <code>H5Pget_driver</code> and compare the
-        returned value to the string <code>H5FD_MULTI</code>.
-        A positive match will confirm that the multi driver is in use; 
-        HDF5 provides no mechanism to determine whether it was called
-        as the special case invoked by <code>H5Pset_fapl_split</code>.

-    )
-  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Sets the fill value for a dataset.
-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Pset_fill_value</code> sets the fill value for
-        a dataset in the dataset creation property list.  
-        <p>
-        <code>value</code> is interpreted as being of datatype 
-        <code>type_id</code>.  This datatype may differ from that of 
-        the dataset, but the HDF5 library must be able to convert 
-        <code>value</code> to the dataset datatype when the dataset 
-        is created. 
-	<p>
-	The default fill value is <code>0</code> (zero), which is
-	interpreted according to the actual dataset datatype.
-	<p>
-	Setting <code>value</code> to <code>NULL</code> indicates
-	that the fill value is to be undefined. 
-  <dt><strong>Notes:</strong>
-    <dd> Applications sometimes write data only to portions of 
-	an allocated dataset.  It is often useful in such cases 
-	to fill the unused space with a known 
-	<span class="termEmphasis">fill value</span>.  
-	This function allows the user application to set that fill value;
-	the functions
-	<a href="RM_H5D.html#Dataset-Fill">H5Dfill</a> and
-	<a href="RM_H5P.html#Property-SetFillTime">H5Pset_fill_time</a>,
-	respectively, provide the ability  
-	to apply the fill value on demand or 
-	to set up its automatic application.
-	<p>
-	A fill value should be defined so that it is appropriate for 
-	the application.  While the HDF5 default fill value is 
-	<code>0</code> (zero), it is often appropriate to use another value.
-        It might be useful, for example, to use a value that is 
-	known to be impossible for the application to legitimately generate.
-	<p>
-        <code>H5Pset_fill_value</code> is designed to work in  
-	concert with <code>H5Pset_alloc_time</code> and 
-	<code>H5Pset_fill_time</code>.
-	<code>H5Pset_alloc_time</code> and <code>H5Pset_fill_time</code> 
-	govern the timing of dataset storage allocation and fill value 
-	write operations and can be important in tuning application 
-	performance.

-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Pset_filter</code> adds the specified 
-        <code>filter</code> and corresponding properties to the 
-        end of an output filter pipeline.
-        If <code>plist</code> is a dataset creation property list, 
-        the filter is added to the permanent filter pipeline; 
-        if <code>plist</code> is a dataset transfer property list, 
-        the filter is added to the transient filter pipeline.
-        <p>
-        The array <code>cd_values</code> contains
-        <code>cd_nelmts</code> integers which are auxiliary data 
-        for the filter.  The integer values will be stored in the 
-        dataset object header as part of the filter information.
-        <p>
-        The <code>flags</code> argument is a  bit vector with 
-        the following fields specifying certain general properties 
-        of the filter:  
-        <center>
-        <table align=center width="75%">
-          <tr valign=top>
-            <td valign=top><code>H5Z_FLAG_OPTIONAL</code>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
-            <td valign=top>If this bit is set then the filter is 
-              optional.  If the filter fails (see below) during an
-              <code>H5Dwrite</code> operation then the filter is
-              just excluded from the pipeline for the chunk for which
-              it failed; the filter will not participate in the
-              pipeline during an <code>H5Dread</code> of the chunk.
-              This is commonly used for compression filters: if the
-              filter result would be larger than the input, then
-              the compression filter returns failure and the
-              uncompressed data is stored in the file.  If this bit is
-              clear and a filter fails, then <code>H5Dwrite</code> 
-              or <code>H5Dread</code> also fails.
-	      <p>
-	      This flag should not be set for the Fletcher32 checksum

-    <dd>Sets number of I/O vectors to be read/written in hyperslab I/O.
-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Pset_hyper_vector_size</code> sets the number of  
-	I/O vectors to be accumulated in memory before being issued  
-	to the lower levels of the HDF5 library for reading or writing the 
-	actual data.
-        <p>
-        The <em>I/O vectors</em> are hyperslab offset and length pairs 
-	and are generated during hyperslab I/O.
-        <p>
-	The number of I/O vectors is passed in <code>vector_size</code>
-	to be  set in the dataset transfer property list <code>dxpl_id</code>.
-	<code>vector_size</code> must be greater than <code>1</code> (one).
-        <p>
-	<code>H5Pset_hyper_vector_size</code> is an I/O optimization function;
-	increasing <code>vector_size</code> should provide better performance, 
-	but the library will use more memory during hyperslab I/O.  
-	The default value of <code>vector_size</code> is <code>1024</code>.

-        <code>H5FD_FEAT_AGGREGATE_METADATA</code> is set by a VFL driver.
-        <p>
-        Each <i>raw</i> metadata block is initially allocated to be of the 
-        given size.  Specific metadata objects (e.g., object headers, 
-        local heaps, B-trees) are then sub-allocated from this block.
-        <p>
-        The default setting is 2048 bytes, meaning that the library 
-        will attempt to aggregate metadata in at least 2K blocks in the file.
-        Setting the value to <code>0</code> (zero) with this function 
-        will turn off metadata aggregation, even if the VFL driver attempts 
-        to use the metadata aggregation strategy.               
-        <p>
-        Metadata aggregation reduces the number of small data objects 
-        in the file that would otherwise be required for metadata.  
-        The aggregated block of metadata is usually written in a 
-        single write action and always in a contiguous block, 
-        potentially significantly improving library and application 
-        performance.

-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Pset_shuffle</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>plist_id</code>)
-  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Sets up use of the shuffle filter.
-  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Pset_shuffle</code> sets the shuffle filter,
-        <code>H5Z_FILTER_SHUFFLE</code>,
-        in the dataset creation property list <code>plist_id</code>.  
-	<p>
-	The shuffle filter <span class=termEmphasis>de-interlaces</span> 
-        a block of data by reordering the bytes.  
-	All the bytes from one consistent byte position of 
-        each data element are placed together in one block;
-	all bytes from a second consistent byte position of 
-        each data element are placed together a second block; etc.
-	For example, given three data elements of a 4-byte datatype 
-	stored as <code>012301230123</code>, 
-        shuffling will re-order data as <code>000111222333</code>.
-        This can be a valuable step in an effective compression
-	algorithm because the bytes in each byte position are often 
-	closely related to each other and putting them together 
-        can increase the compression ratio.
-	<p>
-        As implied above, the primary value of the shuffle filter 
-        lies in its coordinated use with a compression filter; 
-        it does not provide data compression when used alone. 
-        When the shuffle filter is applied to a dataset 
-        immediately prior to the use of a compression filter, 
-        the compression ratio achieved is often superior to that
-        achieved by the use of a compression filter without 
-        the shuffle filter.

-        <p>
-        The data sieve buffer is used when performing I/O on datasets

-        The HDF5 library then writes the raw data from small datasets
-        to this reserved space, thus reducing unnecessary discontinuities
-        within blocks of meta data and improving IO performance.
-        <p>
-        A small data block is actually allocated the first time a

-        are allocated as required.
-        <p>
-        The HDF5 library employs an algorithm that determines whether 
-        IO performance is likely to benefit from the use of this mechanism
-        with each dataset as storage space is allocated in the file.
-        A larger <code>size</code> will result in this mechanism being

-	<p>
-        Before proceeding, be aware that there are factors that affect
-        your rights and ability to use SZIP compression.
-        See the documents at
-	<a href="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/doc_resource/SZIP/index.html" 
-        target="External">SZIP Compression in HDF5</a>
-	for <em>important information regarding terms of use and 
-	the SZIP copyright notice</em>,
-	for further discussion of SZIP compression in HDF5, 
-	and for a list of SZIP-related references.
-
-	<p>
-        In the text below, the term <em>pixel</em> refers to
-        an HDF5 data element. 
-        This terminology derives from SZIP compression's use with image data, 
-        where pixel referred to an image pixel.
-	<p>
-	The SZIP <code>bits_per_pixel</code> value (see <b>Notes</b>, below) 
-	is automatically set, based on the HDF5 datatype.
-	SZIP can be used with atomic datatypes that may have size 
-        of 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits.
-        Specifically, a dataset with a datatype that is 
-            8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-bit 
-	    signed or unsigned integer; 
-            char; or
-            32- or 64-bit float
-        can be compressed with SZIP.  
-	See <b>Notes</b>, below, for further discussion of the
-	the SZIP <code>bits_per_pixel</code> setting.
-	
-	<p>
-        SZIP compression cannot be applied to 
-            compound datatypes, 
-            array datatypes, 
-            variable-length datatypes, 
-	    enumerations, or 
-            any other user-defined datatypes.
-        If an SZIP filter is set up for a dataset containing a non-allowed 
-        datatype, <code>H5Pset_szip</code> will succeed but the subsequent call
-        to <a href="RM_H5D.html#Dataset-Create"><code>H5Dcreate</code></a>
-        will fail; 
-        the conflict is detected only when the property list is used.
-        
-
-	<p>
-	SZIP options are passed in an options mask, <code>options_mask</code>,
-	as follows.

-	The following guidelines can be used in determining 
-        which option to select:
-	<ul>
-	  <li>The entropy coding method, the EC option specified by
-	      <code>H5_SZIP_EC_OPTION_MASK</code>, is best suited for

-	      The EC method works best for small numbers.
-	  <li>The nearest neighbor coding method, the NN option 
-              specified by <code>H5_SZIP_NN_OPTION_MASK</code>,
-              preprocesses the data then the applies EC method as above.
-	</ul>
-        Other factors may affect results, but the above criteria 
-        provides a good starting point for optimizing data compression.
-
-	<p>
-        SZIP compresses data block by block, with a user-tunable block size.  
-	This block size is passed in the parameter 
-        <code>pixels_per_block</code> and must be even and not greater than 32, 
-        with typical values being <code>8</code>, <code>10</code>, 
-        <code>16</code>, or <code>32</code>.
-        This parameter affects compression ratio;
-	the more pixel values vary, the smaller this number should be to
-        achieve better performance.
-	<p>
-        In HDF5, compression can be applied only to chunked datasets.
-        If <code>pixels_per_block</code> is bigger than the total 
-        number of elements in a dataset chunk, 
-        <code>H5Pset_szip</code> will succeed but the subsequent call to 
-        <a href="RM_H5D.html#Dataset-Create"><code>H5Dcreate</code></a>
-        will fail; the conflict is detected only when the property list 
-        is used.
-	<p>
-        To achieve optimal performance for SZIP compression, 
-        it is recommended that a chunk's fastest-changing dimension 
-        be equal to <em>N</em> times <code>pixels_per_block</code>
-        where <em>N</em> is the maximum number of blocks per scan line
-        allowed by the SZIP library.
-        In the current version of SZIP, <em>N</em> is set to 128.
-        <p>
-		<code>H5Pset_szip</code> will fail if SZIP encoding is 
-		disabled in the available copy of the SZIP library.
-		<a href="RM_H5Z.html#Compression-GetFilterInfo">
-		<code>H5Zget_filter_info</code></a> can be employed 
-		to avoid such a failure.

-  <dt><strong>Notes:</strong>
-    <dd>The following notes are of interest primarily to those who have 
-        used SZIP compression outside of the HDF5 context.
-	<p>
-	In non-HDF5 applications, SZIP typically requires that the 
-        user application supply additional parameters:
-        <ul>
-          <li><code>pixels_in_object</code>, 
-              the number of pixels in the object to be compressed 
-          <li><code>bits_per_pixel</code>, 
-              the number of bits per pixel
-          <li><code>pixels_per_scanline</code>, 
-              the number of pixels per scan line  
-        </ul>
-        <p>
-        These values need not be independently supplied in the HDF5 
-        environment as they are derived from the datatype and dataspace, 
-        which are already known.
-        In particular, HDF5 sets 
-        <code>pixels_in_object</code> to the number of elements in a chunk 
-        and <code>bits_per_pixel</code> to the size of the element or 
-        pixel datatype.  
-        The following algorithm is used to set 
-        <code>pixels_per_scanline</code>:
-        <ul>
-          <li>If the size of a chunk's fastest-changing dimension, 
-              <em>size</em>, is greater than 4K, 
-              set <code>pixels_per_scanline</code> to 
-              128 times <code>pixels_per_block</code>.
-          <li>If <em>size</em> is less than 4K 
-              but greater than <code>pixels_per_block</code>, 
-              set <code>pixels_per_scanline</code> to the minimum of
-              <em>size</em> and 128 times <code>pixels_per_block</code>.
-          <li>If <em>size</em> is less than <code>pixels_per_block</code> 
-              but greater than the number elements in the chunk, 
-              set <code>pixels_per_scanline</code> to the minimum of 
-              the number elements in the chunk and 
-              128 times <code>pixels_per_block</code>.
-        </ul>
-	
-	<p>
-	The HDF5 datatype may have precision that is less than the 
-	full size of the data element, e.g., an 11-bit integer can be
-	defined using 
-	<a href="RM_H5T.html#Datatype-SetPrecision"><code>H5Tset_precision</code></a>.
-	To a certain extent, SZIP can take advantage of the 
-	precision of the datatype to improve compression:
-	<ul><li>
-	If the HDF5 datatype size is 24-bit or less and
-	the offset of the bits in the HDF5 datatype is zero
-	(see <a href="RM_H5T.html#Datatype-SetOffset"><code>H5Tset_offset</code></a>  
-	or <a href="RM_H5T.html#Datatype-GetOffset"><code>H5Tget_offset</code></a>), 
-	the data is the in lowest N bits of the data element. 
-	In this case, the SZIP <code>bits_per_pixel</code> 
-	is set to the precision 
-	of the HDF5 datatype.
-	<li>
-	If the offset is not zero, the SZIP <code>bits_per_pixel</code> 
-	will be set to the number of bits in the full size of the data 
-	element.
-	<li>
-	If the HDF5 datatype precision is 25-bit to 32-bit, 
-	the SZIP <code>bits_per_pixel</code> will be set to 32.
-	<li>
-	If the HDF5 datatype precision is 33-bit to 64-bit, 
-	the SZIP <code>bits_per_pixel</code> will be set to 64.
-	</ul>
-
-	<p>
-	HDF5 always modifies the options mask provided by the user
-        to set up usage of <code>RAW_OPTION_MASK</code>, 
-        <code>ALLOW_K13_OPTION_MASK</code>, and one of
-        <code>LSB_OPTION_MASK</code> or <code>MSB_OPTION_MASK</code>, 
-        depending on endianness of the datatype.

-        <p>
-        The <code>alloc</code> and <code>free</code> parameters 
-        identify the memory management routines to be used.
-        If the user has defined custom memory management routines,
-        <code>alloc</code> and/or <code>free</code> should be set to make 
-        those routine calls (i.e., the name of the routine is used as

-        if the user prefers to use the system's <code> malloc</code>
-        and/or <code>free</code>, the <code>alloc</code> and 
-        <code>free</code> parameters, respectively, should be set to 
-        <code> NULL</code>
-        <p>
-        The prototypes for these user-defined functions would appear as follows:

-        custom routines' parameters are passed in the 
-        <code>alloc_info</code> and <code>free_info</code> parameters.
-        If the user wishes to use the system <code> malloc</code> and

-        The <code>start</code> array determines the starting coordinates 
-        of the hyperslab to select.  
-        <p>
-        The <code>stride</code> array chooses array locations 
-        from the dataspace with each value in the <code>stride</code> 
-        array determining how many elements to move in each dimension.  
-        Setting a value in the <code>stride</code> array to 1 moves to
-        each element in that dimension of the dataspace; setting a value 
-	of <code>2</code> in alocation in the <code>stride</code> array 
-	moves to every other element in that dimension of the dataspace.  
-	In other words, the <code>stride</code> determines the
-        number of elements to move from the <code>start</code> location 
-        in each dimension.
-        Stride values of <code>0</code> are not allowed.  
-	If the <code>stride</code> parameter is <code>NULL</code>,
-        a contiguous hyperslab is selected (as if each value in the 
-        <code>stride</code> array were set to all 1's).  
-        <p>
-        The <code>count</code> array determines how many blocks to
-        select from the dataspace, in each dimension.
-        <p>  
-        The <code>block</code> array determines
-        the size of the element block selected from the dataspace.  
-        If the <code>block</code> parameter is set to <code>NULL</code>, 
-        the block size defaults to a single element in each dimension 
-        (as if the <code>block</code> array were set to all 
-	<code>1</code>'s).
-        <p>
-        For example, in a 2-dimensional dataspace, setting 
-        <code>start</code> to [1,1],
-        <code>stride</code> to [4,4], 
-	<code>count</code> to [3,7], and 
-        <code>block</code> to [2,2] 
-	selects 21 2x2 blocks of array elements starting with 
-	location (1,1) and selecting blocks at locations 
-	(1,1), (5,1), (9,1), (1,5), (5,5), etc.
-        <p>
-        Regions selected with this function call default to C order

-The Datatype interface, H5T, provides a mechanism to describe the
-      storage format of individual data points of a data set and is
-      hopefully designed in such a way as to allow new features to be
-      easily added without disrupting applications that use the data
-      type interface.  A dataset (the H5D interface) is composed of a
-      collection or raw data points of homogeneous type organized
-      according to the data space (the H5S interface).
-
-<p>
-A datatype is a collection of datatype properties, all of
-      which can be stored on disk, and which when taken as a whole,
-      provide complete information for data conversion to or from that
-      datatype.  The interface provides functions to set and query
-      properties of a datatype.
-      
-<p>
-A <em>data point</em> is an instance of a <em>datatype</em>,
-      which is an instance of a <em>type class</em>.  We have defined
-      a set of type classes and properties which can be extended at a
-      later time.  The atomic type classes are those which describe
-      types which cannot be decomposed at the datatype interface
-      level; all other classes are compound.
-
-<p>
-See <a href="Datatypes.html"><cite>The Datatype Interface (H5T)</cite></a>
-in the <cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite> for further information, including a complete list of all supported datatypes.

-        That is, the conversion is performed in place.  
-        The optional background buffer is an array of <code>nelmts</code> 
-        values of destination type which are merged with the converted 
-        values to fill in cracks (for instance, <code>background</code> 
-        might be an array of structs with the <code>a</code> and 
-        <code>b</code> fields already initialized and the conversion  
-        of <code>buf</code> supplies the <code>c</code> and <code>d</code> 
-        field values).
-        <p>
-        The parameter <code>plist_id</code> contains the dataset transfer 
-        property list identifier which is passed to the conversion functions.  
-        As of Release 1.2, this parameter is only used to pass along the

-    <dd>Returns the native datatype of a specified datatype.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Tget_native_type</code> returns the equivalent native datatype  
-        for the datatype specified in <code>type_id</code>.  
-        <p>
-        <code>H5Tget_native_type</code> is a high-level function designed
-	primarily to facilitate use of the <code>H5Dread</code> function,
-	for which users otherwise must undertake a multi-step process to 
-	determine the native datatype of a dataset prior to reading it 
-	into memory.     
-        It can be used not only to determine 
-	the native datatype for atomic datatypes, 
-	but also to determine the native datatypes of the individual components of 
-	a compound datatype, an enumerated datatype, an array datatype, or 
-        a variable-length datatype.
-        <p>
-	<code>H5Tget_native_type</code> selects the matching native datatype 
-	from the following list:
-        <pre>        H5T_NATIVE_CHAR         
-        H5T_NATIVE_SHORT        
-        H5T_NATIVE_INT          
-        H5T_NATIVE_LONG         
-        H5T_NATIVE_LLONG        
-
-        H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR
-        H5T_NATIVE_USHORT
-        H5T_NATIVE_UINT
-        H5T_NATIVE_ULONG
-        H5T_NATIVE_ULLONG
-
-        H5T_NATIVE_FLOAT
-        H5T_NATIVE_DOUBLE
-        H5T_NATIVE_LDOUBLE</pre>
-        <p>
-        The <code>direction</code> parameter indicates the order 
-	in which the library searches for a native datatype match.
-	Valid values for <code>direction</code> are as follows:
-	<table border=0>
-	<tr valign=top><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td>
-	    <code>H5T_DIR_ASCEND</code></td><td>
-	    Searches the above list in ascending size of the datatype,<br>
-	    i.e., from top to bottom.  (Default)
-	    </td></tr>
-	<tr valign=top><td>&nbsp;</td><td>
-	    <code>H5T_DIR_DESCEND</code>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td><td>
-	    Searches the above list in descending size of the datatype,<br>
-	    i.e., from bottom to top.
-	    </td></tr>
-	</table>
-        <p>
-	<code>H5Tget_native_type</code> is designed primarily for
-	use with intenger and floating point datatypes.
-	Time, bifield, opaque, and reference datatypes are returned
-	as a copy of <code>type_id</code>.
-        <p>
-        The identifier returned by <code>H5Tget_native_type</code> 
-        should eventually be closed by calling <code>H5Tclose</code> 
-        to release resources.

-    )
-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Sets the total size for an atomic datatype.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Tset_size</code> sets the total size in bytes, 
-        <code>size</code>, for a datatype.  If the datatype is atomic and size
-         is decreased so that the significant bits of the datatype extend beyond
-         the edge of the new size, then the `offset' property is decreased
-         toward zero.  If the `offset' becomes zero and the significant
-         bits of the datatype still hang over the edge of the new size, then
-         the number of significant bits is decreased.
-         The size set for a string should include space for the null-terminator
-         character, otherwise it will not be stored on (or retrieved from) disk.
-         Adjusting the size of a string automatically sets the precision
-         to 8*<code>size</code>.  A compound datatype may increase in size, 
-         but may not shrink.  All datatypes must have a positive size.

-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Defines the storage mechanism for character strings.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Tset_strpad</code> defines the storage mechanism for the string.
-        <p>
-        The method used to store character strings differs with the 
-        programming language: 
-        <ul>
-            <li>C usually null terminates strings while 
-            <li>Fortran left-justifies and space-pads strings.
-        </ul>
-        Valid string padding values, as passed in the parameter 
-        <code>strpad</code>, are as follows:
-        <ul> <dl>
-            <dt>H5T_STR_NULLTERM (<code>0</code>)
-               <dd>Null terminate (as C does)
-            <dt>H5T_STR_NULLPAD (<code>1</code>)
-               <dd>Pad with zeros 
-            <dt>H5T_STR_SPACEPAD (<code>2</code>)
-               <dd>Pad with spaces (as FORTRAN does)
-        </dl> </ul>
-        <p>
-        When converting from a longer string to a shorter string,
-        the behavior is as follows.
-        If the short string is <code>H5T_STR_NULLPAD</code> or 
-        <code>H5T_STR_SPACEPAD</code>, then the string is simply truncated. 
-        If the short string is <code>H5T_STR_NULLTERM</code>, it is
-        truncated and a null terminator is appended.  
-        <p>
-        When converting from a shorter string to a longer string,
-        the long string is padded on the end by appending nulls or spaces.

-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.
-<p>
-The flexibility of the filter pipeline implementation enables the 
-definition of additional filters by a user application.
-A filter
-  <ul>
-    <li>is associated with a dataset when the dataset is created,
-    <li>can be used only with chunked data
-        <br>(i.e., datasets stored in the <code>H5D_CHUNKED</code> 
-        storage layout), and
-    <li>is applied independently to each chunk of the dataset.
-  </ul>
-<p>
-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.
-<p>
-Filter identifiers for the filters distributed with the HDF5 Library
-are as follows:
-<table align=center border=0>
-  <tr valign=top align=left>
-  <td>
-    <code>H5Z_FILTER_DEFLATE</code></td><td>The gzip compression,
-          or deflation, filter
-  </td></tr><tr><td>
-    <code>H5Z_FILTER_SZIP</code></td><td>The SZIP compression filter
-  </td></tr><tr><td>
-    <code>H5Z_FILTER_SHUFFLE</code></td><td>The shuffle algorithm filter
-  </td></tr><tr><td>
-    <code>H5Z_FILTER_FLETCHER32&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></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.
-<p>
-See <a href="Datasets.html"><cite>The Dataset Interface (H5D)</cite></a> 
-in the <cite>HDF5 User's Guide</cite> for further information regarding

-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Retrieves information about a filter.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd>
-      <code>H5Zget_filter_info</code> retrieves information about a filter.  
-      At present, this means that the function retrieves a 
-      filter's configuration flags, indicating whether the filter is  
-      configured to decode data, to encode data, neither, or both.
-      <p>
-      If <code>filter_config_flags</code> is not set to <small>NULL</small>
-      prior to the function call, the returned parameter contains a 
-      bit field specifying the available filter configuration. 
-      The configuration flag values can then be determined through
-      a series of bitwise <small>AND</small> operations, as described below. 
-      <p>
-      Valid filter configuration flags include the following:
-      <table>
-        <tr><td><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></td>
-          <td><code>H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED</code></td>

-        <tr><td>&nbsp;</td>
-          <td><code>H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_DECODE_ENABLED</code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
-          <td>Decoding is enabled for this filter
-        </td></tr>

-          <td colspan="2" align="right"><small>(These flags

-        </td></tr>
-       </table>
-      A bitwise <small>AND</small> of the returned 
-      <code>filter_config_flags</code> and a valid 
-      filter configuration flag will reveal whether
-      the related configuration option is available.
-      For example, if the value of 
-      <br>
-      <code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
-            H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED 
-            &amp; 
-            filter_config_flags</code>
-      <br>
-      is true, i.e., greater than <code>0</code> (zero), 
-      the queried filter is configured to encode data;  
-      if the value is <code>FALSE</code>, 
-      i.e., equal to <code>0</code> (zero), 
-      the filter is not so configured.
-      <p>
-      If a filter is not encode-enabled, the corresponding
-      <code>H5Pset_*</code> 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 <code>H5Z_FILTER_CONFIG_ENCODE_ENABLED</code>
-      flag is not returned for the SZIP filter,
-      <code>H5Z_FILTER_SZIP</code>, a call to <code>H5Pset_szip</code>
-      will fail.
-      <p>
-      If a filter is not decode-enabled, the application will not be
-      able to read an existing file encoded with that filter.
-      <p>
-      This function should be called, and the returned
-      <code>filter_config_flags</code> analyzed, before calling
-      any other function, such as <code>H5Pset_szip</code>,
-      that might require a particular filter configuration.

-<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
-    <dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Zregister</code>(<em>const H5Z_class_t</em> <code>filter_class</code>)
-    )
-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
-    <dd>Registers new filter.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
-    <dd><code>H5Zregister</code> registers a new filter with the
-      HDF5 library.  
-      <p>
-      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:
-      <code>can_apply_func</code>, <code>set_local_func</code>, and
-      <code>filter_func</code>.
-      This call to <code>H5Zregister</code>, 
-      <span class="termEmphasis">registering</span> the filter with the
-      library, is the second step.  
-      The <code>can_apply_func</code> and <code>set_local_func</code>
-      fields can be set to <code>NULL</code> 
-      if they are not required for the filter being registered.
-      <p>
-      <code>H5Zregister</code> accepts a single parameter, 
-      the <code>filter_class</code> data structure, 
-      which is defined as follows:
-      <pre>
-   &nbsp;   typedef struct H5Z_class_t {
-   &nbsp;       H5Z_filter_t filter_id;
-   &nbsp;       const char  *comment;
-   &nbsp;       H5Z_can_apply_func_t can_apply_func;
-   &nbsp;       H5Z_set_local_func_t set_local_func;
-   &nbsp;       H5Z_func_t filter_func;            
-   &nbsp;   } H5Z_class_t;
-      </pre>
-        
-      <p>
-      <code>filter_id</code> is the identifier for the new filter. 
-      This is a user-defined value between 
-      <code>H5Z_FILTER_RESERVED</code> and <code>H5Z_FILTER_MAX</code>, 
-      both of which are defined in the HDF5 source file 
-      <code>H5Zpublic.h</code>.
-      <p>
-      <code>comment</code> is used for debugging, 
-      may contain a descriptive name for the filter, 
-      and may be the null pointer. 
-      <p>
-      <code>can_apply_func</code>, 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.
-      <p>
-      <code>set_local_func</code>, 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.
-      <p>
-      <code>filter_func</code>, described in detail below, 
-      is a user-defined callback function which performs the action 
-      of the filter.
-      <p>
-      The statistics associated with a filter are not reset
-      by this function; they accumulate over the life of the library.
-
-      <p>
-      <strong>The callback functions</strong> 
-      <br>
-      Before <code>H5Zregister</code> can link a filter into an 
-      application, three callback functions must be defined 
-      as described in the HDF5 Library header file <code>H5Zpublic.h</code>.
-
-      <p>
-      <u>The <i>can apply</i> callback function</u> is defined as follows:<br>
-      <dir>
-          <em>typedef herr_t</em> (*<code>H5Z_can_apply_func_t</code>)
-          (<em>hid_t</em> <code>dcpl_id</code>,
-          <em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>,
-          <em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>)
-      </dir>
-      <p>
-      Before a dataset is created, the <i>can apply</i> callbacks for 
-      any filters used in the dataset creation property list are called
-      with the dataset's dataset creation property list, <code>dcpl_id</code>,
-      the dataset's datatype, <code>type_id</code>, and
-      a dataspace describing a chunk, <code>space_id</code>,
-      (for chunked dataset storage).
-      <p>
-      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.
-      <p>
-      This callback can be the <code>NULL</code> 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.
-      <p>
-      The <i>can apply</i> callback function must return 
-      a positive value for a valid combination, 
-      zero for an invalid combination, and 
-      a negative value for an error.
-
-      <p>
-      <u>The <i>set local</i> callback function</u> is defined as follows:<br>
-      <dir>
-          <em>typedef herr_t</em> (*<code>H5Z_set_local_func_t</code>)
-          (<em>hid_t</em> <code>dcpl_id</code>,
-          <em>hid_t</em> <code>type_id</code>,
-          <em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>)
-      </dir>
-      <p>
-      After the <i>can apply</i> callbacks are checked for a new dataset, 
-      the <i>set local</i> callback functions for any filters used in the 
-      dataset creation property list are called.  
-      These callbacks receive 
-      <code>dcpl_id</code>, the dataset's private copy of the dataset
-      creation property list passed in to <code>H5Dcreate</code> 
-      (i.e. not the actual property list passed in to <code>H5Dcreate</code>);
-      <code>type_id</code>, the datatype identifier passed in to 
-      <code>H5Dcreate</code>, 
-      which is not copied and should not be modified; and 
-      <code>space_id</code>, a dataspace describing the chunk 
-      (for chunked dataset storage), which should also not be modified.
-      <p>
-      The <i>set local</i> 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.
-      <p>
-      The <i>set local</i> callback may be the <code>NULL</code> pointer, 
-      in which case, the library will assume that there are 
-      no dataset-specific settings for this filter.
-      <p>
-      The <i>set local</i> callback function must return 
-      a non-negative value on success and 
-      a negative value for an error.
-
-      <p>
-      <u>The <i>filter operation</i> callback function</u>, 
-      defining the filter's operation on the data, is defined as follows:
-      <dir>
-          <em>typedef size_t</em> (*<code>H5Z_func_t</code>)
-          (<em>unsigned int</em> <code>flags</code>,
-          <em>size_t</em> <code>cd_nelmts</code>,
-          <em>const unsigned int</em> <code>cd_values[]</code>,
-          <em>size_t</em> <code>nbytes</code>,
-          <em>size_t *</em><code>buf_size</code>,
-          <em>void **</em><code>buf</code>)
-      </dir>
-
-      <p>
-      The parameters <code>flags</code>, <code>cd_nelmts</code>, 
-      and <code>cd_values</code> are the same as for the function
-      <a href="RM_H5P.html#Property-SetFilter"><code>H5Pset_filter</code></a>.
-      The one exception is that an additional flag, 
-      <code>H5Z_FLAG_REVERSE</code>, is set when 
-      the filter is called as part of the input pipeline. 
-      <p>
-      The parameter <code>*buf</code> points to the input buffer 
-      which has a size of <code>*buf_size</code> bytes,
-      <code>nbytes</code> of which are valid data. 
-      <p>
-      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
-      <code>malloc()</code> and assign it to <code>*buf</code>,
-      assigning the allocated size of that buffer to
-      <code>*buf_size</code>. 
-      The old buffer should be freed by calling <code>free()</code>.
-      <p>
-      If successful, the <i>filter operation</i> callback function 
-      returns the number of valid bytes of data contained in <code>*buf</code>.
-      In the case of failure, the return value is <code>0</code> (zero)
-      and all pointer arguments are left unchanged.
-<dt><strong>Note:</strong>
-    <dd>The <code>H5Zregister</code> interface is substantially revised 
-      from the HDF5 Release 1.4.x series.  
-      The <code>H5Z_class_t</code> struct and

-<!-- #EndLibraryItem --><h1>The Reference Interface (H5R) and <br> the Identifier Interface (H5I)</h1>
-
-<h2>1. Introduction</h2>
-
-This document discusses the kinds of references implemented 
-(and planned) in HDF5 and the functions implemented (and planned) 
-to support them.
-
-
-<h2>2. References</h2>
-
-This section contains an overview of the kinds of references 
-implemented, or planned for implementation, in HDF5.
-
-<p>
-
-<dl>
-    <dt>Object reference
-        <dd>Reference to an entire object in the current HDF5 file.
-            <p>
-            An object reference points to an entire object in the 
-            current HDF5 file by storing the relative file address 
-            (OID) of the object header for the object pointed to.  
-            The relative file address of an object header is
-            constant for the life of the object.  
-            An object reference is of a fixed size in the file.
-            <p>
-    <dt>Dataset region reference
-        <dd>Reference to a specific dataset region.
-            <p>
-            A dataset region reference points to a region of a 
-            dataset in the current HDF5 file by storing the OID 
-            of the dataset and the global heap offset of the 
-            region referenced.  The region referenced is located 
-            by retrieving the coordinates of the areas in the 
-            region from the global heap.  A dataset region 
-            reference is of a variable size in the file.
-</dl>
-
-
-<b>Note:</b> All references are treated as soft links for the 
-purposes of reference counting.  The library does not keep track of 
-reference links and they may dangle if the object they refer to 
-is deleted, moved, or not yet available.
-
-
-<h2>3. Reference Types</h2>
-
-Valid HDF5 reference types for use in the H5R functions
-are as follows:
-
-<center>
-<table>
-<tr><th align=left>Reference Type</th><th align=left>Value&nbsp;&nbsp;</th><th align=left>Description</th></tr>
-<!-- NOT USER-LEVEL INFORMATION; DELETED FROM HDF5 USER'S GUIDE
-<tr><td><code>H5R_BADTYPE</code></td>
-    <td align=right><code>-1&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></td>
-    <td>Invalid reference type</td></tr>
--->
-<tr><td><code>H5R_OBJECT</code></td>
-    <td align=right><code>0&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></td>
-    <td>Object reference</td></tr>
-<tr><td><code>H5R_DATASET_REGION</code></td>
-    <td align=right><code>1&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></td>
-    <td>Dataset region reference</td></tr>
-</table>
-</center>
-
-
-<h2>4. Functions</h2>
-
-Five functions, four in the H5R interface and one in the 
-H5I interface,  have been implemented to support references.
-The H5I function is also useful outside the context of references.
-<p>
-<dl>
-    <dt><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Rcreate(</code><em>void *</em><code>reference,</code>
-        <em>hid_t</em> <code>loc_id,</code>
-        <em>const char *</em><code>name,</code>
-        <em>H5R_type_t</em> <code>type,</code>
-        <em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id)</code>
-    <dd><code>H5Rcreate</code> creates an object which is a 
-        particular type of reference (specified with the 
-        <code>type</code> parameter) to some file object and/or 
-        location specified with the <code>space_id</code> parameter.  
-        For dataset region references, the selection specified 
-        in the dataspace is the portion of the dataset which 
-        will be referred to.
-        <p>
-
-    <dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>H5Rdereference(</code><em>hid_t</em> <code>dset,</code>
-        <em>H5R_type_t</em> <code>rtype,</code>
-        <em>void *</em><code>reference)</code>
-    <dd><code>H5Rdereference</code> opens the object referenced 
-        and returns an identifier for that object.
-        The parameter <code>reference</code> specifies a reference of 
-        type <code>rtype</code> that is stored in the dataset 
-        <code>dset</code>.
-        <p>
-
-    <dt><em>int</em> <code>H5Rget_object_type(</code><em>hid_t</em> <code>obj_id,</code>
-        <em>void *</em><code>reference)</code>
-    <dd><code>H5Rget_object_type</code> retrieves the type of object 
-        that an object reference points to.
-        The parameter <code>obj_id</code> specifies the dataset 
-        containing the reference object or the location identifier 
-        of the object that the dataset is located within.
-        The parameter <code>reference</code> specifies the 
-        reference being queried.
-        <p>
-
-    <dt><em>H5S_t</em> <code>H5Rget_region(</code><em>H5D_t</em> <code>dataset,</code>
-        <em>H5R_type_t</em> <code>type,</code>
-        <em>void *</em><code>reference)</code>
-    <dd><code>H5Rget_region</code> creates a copy of dataspace of
-        the dataset that is pointed to and defines a selection in 
-        the copy which is the location (or region) pointed to.
-        The parameter <code>ref</code> specifies a reference of 
-        type <code>rtype</code> that is stored in the dataset 
-        <code>dset</code>.
-        <p>
-
-    <dt><em>H5I_type_t</em> <code>H5Iget_type(</code><em>hid_t</em> <code>id)</code>
-    <dd>Returns the type of object referred to by the 
-        identifier <code>id</code>.  Valid return values appear 
-        in the following list:
-        <center>
-        <table>
-        <tr valign=bottom><td><code>H5I_FILE</code></td>
-            <td>File objects</td></tr>
-        <tr valign=bottom><td><code>H5I_GROUP</code></td>
-            <td>Group objects</td></tr>
-        <tr valign=bottom><td><code>H5I_DATATYPE</code></td>
-            <td>Datatype objects</td></tr>
-        <tr valign=bottom><td><code>H5I_DATASPACE</code></td>
-            <td>Dataspace objects</td></tr>
-        <tr valign=bottom><td><code>H5I_DATASET</code></td>
-            <td>Dataset objects</td></tr>
-        <tr valign=bottom><td><code>H5I_ATTR</code></td>
-            <td>Attribute objects</td></tr>
-        </table>
-        </center>
-        <p>
-        This function was inspired by the need of users to figure 
-        out which type of object closing function 
-        (<code>H5Dclose</code>, <code>H5Gclose</code>, etc.) 
-        to call after a call to <code>H5Rdereference</code>, 
-        but it is also of general use.

-<ul>
-    <li>1 - Planned for in final release.
-    <li>2 - Most useful reference types to tackle next
-    <li>3 - Optional reference types.
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Comments</h2>
-<pre>
-    Reference types are atomic types and may be included as fields in compound
-        datatypes.
-
-    There are (at least) three levels of reference strength:
-        Weak - We allow the user to store any type of reference in an array
-            of references.  (u.e., the array of references in the example above
-            could be a mix of Object, Dataset Region and Internal references)
-        Medium - We force the user to stick with a particular type of
-            reference within a dataset, but the datasets pointed to (with
-            Object and Dataset Region references) may be of any datatype
-            or dataspace.
-        Strong - We force the user to stick with a particular type of
-            reference and Object and Dataset Region references must point to
-            datasets with the same datatype.
-        Extra Strong - We force the user to stick with a particular type of
-            reference and Object and Dataset Region references must point to
-            datasets with the same datatype <i>and</i> dataspace.
-
-    The library is currently implemented with "medium" strength references.

-<h2>Information Regarding Specific Kinds of References</h2>
-
-<dl>
-<dt>Dataset Offset Reference
-    <dd>Points to a sequence of bytes within a dataset in
-        the current HDF5 file by storing the OID of the dataset and the byte
-        length and offset of the sequence within the dataset.  The offset is
-        the logical byte offset within the dataset, meaning that the data is
-        de-compressed before returning the sequence of bytes requested.  No
-        interpretation of the data at that location is provided.  However,
-        if the dataset is extendible and the size of the dimensions are changed,
-        the element(s) that the sequence is located within may vary.  Fixed size
-        in file.
-
-<dt>Disk Offset Reference
-    <dd>Points to a sequence of bytes in the current
-        HDF5 file by storing the byte length and offset of the sequence within
-        the file, relative to the super block (as are all the other high-level
-        addresses used in the file).  The offset is the absolute byte offset
-        within the file, no interpretation of the data at that location is
-        provided.  Fixed size in file.
-
-<dt>External Object Reference
-    <dd>Points to an entire object in another HDF5 file by
-        storing a global heap offset which points to the URL of the external
-        file and the OID of the object pointed to.  Variable size in file.
-
-<dt>External Dataset Region Reference
-    <dd>Points to a region of a dataset in
-        another HDF5 file by storing a global heap offset which points to the
-        URL of the external file, OID of the dataset and the coordinates of the
-        region.  Variable size in file.
-
-<dt>External Dataset Offset Reference
-    <dd>Points to a sequence of bytes within a
-        dataset in another HDF5 file by storing a global heap offset which
-        points to the URL of the external file, the OID of the dataset and the
-        byte length and offset of the sequence within the dataset.  The offset
-        is the logical byte offset within the dataset, meaning that the data is
-        de-compressed before returning the sequence of bytes requested.
-        However, if the dataset is not stored contiguously and the size of the
-        dimensions are changed, the element(s) that the sequence is located
-        within may vary.  Variable size in file.
-
-<dt>External Disk Offset Reference
-    <dd>Points to a sequence of bytes in another
-        HDF5 file by storing a global heap reference which points to the URL
-        of the external file and the byte length and offset of the sequence
-        within the file.  The offset is the absolute byte offset within the
-        file, no interpretation of the data at that location is provided.
-        Variable size in file.
-
-<dt>Generic Reference
-    <dd>A reference which may contain any of the other
-        references defined above.  (Mostly useful for implementing "weak"
-        strength pointers within the medium strength model we are using)
-        Variable size in file.
-
-</dl>
-
-<h2>Implementation Details</h2>
-
-<dl>
-<dt>File Storage
-    <dd>In order to efficiently index an array, each element must be the
-        same size when stored in the dataset on disk.  Fixed-sized references
-        will be stored directly in the dataset array on disk; variable-sized
-        references will have a fixed-size head offset stored in the array on
-        disk with a file heap used to store the actual variable-sized
-        information stored in the heap.
-    
-<dt>Memory Storage
-    <dd>Each <code>href_t</code> object in memory is a struct containing 
-        a pointer type and union of information required for each 
-        pointer type.  
-        Information in this structure is not designed for users to view.  
-        Non-C APIs may have to mangle this structure in some way, in order 
-        to provide users with access to references in a language-appropriate 
-        way.
