Name: H5Eget_minor
Signature:
char * H5Eget_minor(H5E_minor_t n)

Purpose:
Returns a character string describing an error specified by a minor error number.

Notice:
This function has been deprecated.

Description:
Given a minor error number, H5Eget_minor returns a constant character string that describes the error.

Note:
In the Release 1.8.x series, H5Eget_minor returns a string of dynamic allocated char array. An application calling this function from an HDF5 library of Release 1.8.0 or later must free the memory associated with the return value to prevent a memory leak. This is a change from the 1.6.x release series.

Parameters:
H5E_minor_t n     IN: Minor error number.

Returns:
Returns a character string describing the error if successful. Otherwise returns "Invalid minor error number."
