Signature:
herr_t H5Gset_comment(hid_t loc_id, const char *name, const char *comment )
Purpose:
Sets comment for specified object.

This function is deprecated in favor of the function H5Oset_comment.
Description:
H5Gset_comment sets the comment for the object specified by loc_id and name to comment. Any previously existing comment is overwritten.

loc_id can specify any object in the file. name can be one of the following:
  — The name of the object relative to loc_id
  — An absolute name of the object, starting from /, the file’s root group
  — A dot (.), if loc_id fully specifies the object

If comment is the empty string or a null pointer, the comment message is removed from the object.

Comments should be relatively short, null-terminated, ASCII strings.

Comments can be attached to any object that has an object header, e.g., datasets, groups, and named datatypes, but not symbolic links.

Parameters:
Returns:
Returns a non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
