Purpose:
Returns information about a filter in a pipeline.

Description:
H5Pget_filter is a macro that is mapped to either H5Pget_filter1 or H5Pget_filter2, depending on the needs of the application.

Such macros are provided to facilitate application compatibility. For example:

For more information on macro use and mappings, see the “API Compatibility Macros in HDF5” document.

When both the HDF5 Library and the application are built and installed with no specific compatibility flags, H5Pget_filter is mapped to the most recent version of the function, currently H5Pget_filter2. If the library and/or application is compiled for Release 1.6 emulation, H5Pget_filter will be mapped to H5Pget_filter1. 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:

Compatibility setting H5Pget_filter mapping

Global settings
No compatibility flag H5Pget_filter2 
Enable deprecated symbols H5Pget_filter2 
Disable deprecated symbols H5Pget_filter2 
Emulate Release 1.6 interface     H5Pget_filter1 

Function-level macros
H5Pget_filter_vers = 2 H5Pget_filter2
H5Pget_filter_vers = 1 H5Pget_filter1

Interface history:   Signature [1] above is the original H5Pget_filter interface and the only interface available prior to HDF5 Release 1.8.0. This signature and the corresponding function are now deprecated but will remain directly callable as H5Pget_filter1.

Signature [2] above was introduced with HDF5 Release 1.8.0 and is the recommended and default interface. It is directly callable as H5Pget_filter2.

See “API Compatibility Macros in HDF5” for circumstances under which either of these functions might not be available in an installed instance of the HDF5 Library.
