| enum H5G_obj_t |
An object has a certain type. The first few numbers are reserved for use internally by HDF5. Users may add their own types with higher values. The values are never stored in the file – they only exist while an application is running. An object may satisfy the ‘isa’ function for more than one type.
| enum H5G_storage_type_t |
Types of link storage for groups
