Name: H5Tcommit
Signature:
herr_t H5Tcommit( hid_t loc_id, const char *name, hid_t dtype_id )

herr_t H5Tcommit( hid_t loc_id, const char *name, hid_t dtype_id, hid_t lcpl_id, hid_t tcpl_id, hid_t tapl_id )

Purpose:
Commits a transient datatype, linking it into the file and creating a new named datatype.

Description:
H5Tcommit is a macro that is mapped to either H5Tcommit1 or H5Tcommit2, depending on the needs of the application.

Such macros are provided to facilitate application compatibility. Their use and mappings are fully described in “API Compatibility Macros in HDF5”; we urge you to read that document closely.

When both the HDF5 Library and the application are built and installed with no specific compatibility flags, H5Tcommit is mapped to the most recent version of the function, currently H5Tcommit2. If the library and/or application is compiled for Release 1.6 emulation, H5Tcommit will be mapped to H5Tcommit1. Function-specific flags are available to override these settings on a function-by-function basis when the application is compiled.

Specific compile-time compatibility flags and the resulting mappings are as follows:
