Name: H5Pget_nfilters
Signature:
int H5Pget_nfilters(hid_t plist)
Purpose:
Returns the number of filters in the pipeline.
Description:
H5Pget_nfilters returns the number of filters defined in the filter pipeline associated with the property list plist.

In each pipeline, the filters are numbered from 0 through N-1, where N is the value returned by this function. During output to the file, the filters are applied in increasing order; during input from the file, they are applied in decreasing order.

H5Pget_nfilters returns the number of filters in the pipeline, including zero (0) if there are none.

Note:
This function currently supports only the permanent filter pipeline; plist_id must be a dataset creation property list.
Parameters:
Returns:
Returns the number of filters in the pipeline if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
