Class for HDF5 property lists.

Description

This is the base class for all property lists, but most have a specialized class. It inherits all functions of the H5RefClass. It is also the base class for many other classes, specifically

Dataset Creation

H5P_DATASET_CREATE

Dataset Access

H5P_DATASET_ACCESS

Dataset Transfer

H5P_DATASET_XFER

Link Creation

H5P_LINK_CREATE

Link Access

H5P_LINK_ACCESS

Object Creation

H5P_OBJECT_CREATE

Object Copy

H5P_OBJECT_COPY

Attribute Creation

The base class is unlikely to be needed by users - they should use the appropriate subclass required.

Value

Object of class H5P.
