Name: H5Tget_norm
Signature:
H5T_norm_t H5Tget_norm( hid_t dtype_id )

Purpose:
Retrieves mantissa normalization of a floating-point datatype.

Description:
H5Tget_norm retrieves the mantissa normalization of a floating-point datatype. Valid normalization types are:

Parameters:
hid_t dtype_id     IN: Identifier of datatype to query.

Returns:
Returns a valid normalization type if successful; otherwise H5T_NORM_ERROR (-1).
