/**
 * \page HDF5LIB HDF5 Java API Package
 * This class is the Java interface for the HDF5 library.
 * <p>
 * This code is the called by Java programs to access the entry points of the HDF5 library. Each routine wraps
 * a single HDF5 entry point, generally with the arguments and return codes analogous to the C interface.
 * <p>
 * For details of the HDF5 library, @see @ref RM
 * <hr>
 * <p>
 * <b>Mapping of arguments for Java</b>
 *
 * <p>
 * In general, arguments to the HDF Java API are straightforward translations from the 'C' API described in
 * the @ref RM.

 * <b>General Rules for Passing Arguments and Results</b>
 * <p>
 * In general, arguments passed <b>IN</b> to Java are the analogous basic types, as above. The exception is
 * for arrays, which are discussed below.
 * <p>
 * The <i>return value</i> of Java methods is also the analogous type, as above. A major exception to that
 * rule is that all HDF Java functions will raise an exception upon failure in the Java version,
 * rather than just return <i>int</i> as in the C. Functions that return a value are declared
 * equivalent to the C function.
 * However, in most cases the Java method will raise an exception instead of returning an error code.
 * @see @ref ERRORS.
 * <p>
 * Java does not support pass by reference of arguments, so arguments that are returned through <b>OUT</b>
 * parameters must be wrapped in an object or array. The Java API for HDF consistently wraps arguments in
 * arrays. Where possible the Java function may return the OUT parameter as an object or basic type.
 * <p>
 * For instance, a function that returns two integers declared as:
 *
 * <pre>
 *       h_err_t HDF5dummy( int *a1, int *a2)
 * </pre>
 *
 * For the Java interface, this would be declared:
 *
 * <pre>
 * public  static  int HDF5dummy(int args[]);
 * </pre>
 * OR
 * <pre>
 * public  static  int[] HDF5dummy();
 * </pre>
 *
 * where <i>a1</i> is <i>args[0]</i> and <i>a2</i> is <i>args[1]</i>, and would be invoked:
 *
 * <pre>
 * H5.HDF5dummy(a);
 * </pre>
 * OR
 * <pre>
 * a = H5.HDF5dummy();
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * All the routines where this convention is used will have specific documentation of the details, given
 * below.
 * <p>
 * <b>@ref HDFARRAY</b>
 * <p>
 * HDF5 needs to read and write multi-dimensional arrays of any number type (and records). The HDF5 API
 * describes the layout of the source and destination, and the data for the array passed as a block of
 * bytes, for instance,
 *
 * @code
 *      herr_t H5Dread(long fid, long filetype, long memtype, long memspace, void *data);
 * @endcode
 *
 * <p>
 * where "void *" means that the data may be any valid numeric type, and is a contiguous block of bytes that
 * is the data for a multi-dimensional array. The other parameters describe the dimensions, rank, and datatype
 * of the array ondisk (source) and in memory (destination).
 * <p>
 * For Java, this "ANY" is a problem, as the type of data must always be declared. Furthermore,
 * multidimensional arrays are definitely <i>not</i> laid out contiguously in memory. It would be infeasible
 * to declare a separate routine for every combination of number type and dimensionality. For that reason, the
 * @ref HDFARRAY <b>HDFArray</b> class is used to discover the type, shape, and
 * size of the data array at run time, and to convert to and from a contiguous array of bytes in
 * static  C order.
 * <p>
 * The upshot is that any Java array of numbers (either primitive or sub-classes of type <b>Number</b>) can be
 * passed as an "Object", and the Java API will translate to and from the appropriate packed array of bytes
 * needed by the C library. So the function above would be declared:
 *
 * @code
 *     public  static int H5Dread(long dataset_id, long mem_type_id, long mem_space_id,
 *                                            long file_space_id, long xfer_plist_id, Object obj,
 *                                            boolean isCriticalPinning)
 *       throws HDF5Exception, HDF5LibraryException, NullPointerException {}
 * @endcode
 *
 * and the parameter <i>data</i> can be any multi-dimensional array of numbers, such as float[][], or
 * int[][][], or Double[][].
 * <p>
 * <b>@ref HDF5CONST</b>
 * <p>
 * The HDF5 API defines a set of constants and enumerated values. Most of these values are available to Java
 * programs via the class @ref HDF5CONST <b>HDF5Constants</b></a>. For example,
 * the parameters for the h5open() call include two numeric values, <b><i>HDFConstants.H5F_ACC_RDWR</i></b>
 * and <b><i>HDF5Constants.H5P_DEFAULT</i></b>.
 * As would be expected, these numbers correspond to the C constants
 * <b><i>#H5F_ACC_RDWR</i></b> and <b><i>#H5P_DEFAULT</i></b>.
 * <p>
 * The HDF5 API defines a set of values that describe number types and sizes, such as "H5T_NATIVE_INT" and
 * "hsize_t". These values are determined at run time by the HDF5 C library. To support these parameters,
 * the Java HDFConstants class looks up the values
 * when initiated. The values can be accessed as public variables of the Java class, such as:
 *
 * @code
 * long data_type = HDFConstants.H5T_NATIVE_INT;
 * @endcode
 *
 * The Java application uses both types of constants the same way, the only difference is that the
 * <b><i>HDFConstants</i></b> may have different values on different platforms.
 * <p>
 * <b>@ref ERRORS</b>
 * <p>
 * The HDF5 error API (@ref H5E) manages the behavior of the error stack in the HDF5 library. This API is
 * omitted from the JHI5. Errors are converted into Java exceptions. This is totally different from the C
 * interface, but is very natural for Java programming. <p> The exceptions of the JHI5 are organized as
 * sub-classes of the class
 * @ref ERRORS <b>HDF5Exception</b>. There are two subclasses of
 * <b>HDF5Exception</b>, @ref ERRORSLIB <b>HDF5LibraryException</b>
 * and @ref ERRORSJAVA <b>HDF5JavaException</b>. The
 * sub-classes of the former represent errors from the HDF5 C library, while sub-classes of the latter
 * represent errors in the JHI5 wrapper and support code.
 * <p>
 * The super-class <b><i>HDF5LibraryException</i></b> implements the method '<b><i>printStackTrace()</i></b>',
 * which prints out the HDF5 error stack, as described in the HDF5 C API <i><b>@ref H5Eprint()</b>.</i> This
 * may be used by Java exception handlers to print out the HDF5 error stack. <hr>
