Name: H5Pset
Signature:
herr_t H5Pset( hid_t plid, const char *name, void *value) )

Purpose:
Sets a property list value.

Description:
H5Pset sets a new value for a property in a property list. If there is a set callback routine registered for this property, the value will be passed to that routine and any changes to the value will be used when setting the property value. The information pointed to by the value pointer (possibly modified by the set callback) is copied into the property list value and may be changed by the application making the H5Pset call without affecting the property value.

The property name must exist or this routine will fail.

If the set callback routine returns an error, the property value will not be modified.

This routine may not be called for zero-sized properties and will return an error in that case.

Parameters:
hid_t plid; IN: Property list identifier to modify
const char *name;     IN: Name of property to modify
void *value; IN: Pointer to value to set the property to

Returns:
Success: a non-negative value
Failure: a negative value
