Name: H5Pcreate
Signature:
hid_t H5Pcreate(hid_t cls_id )
Purpose:
Creates a new property as an instance of a property list class.
Description:
H5Pcreate creates a new property as an instance of some property list class. The new property list is initialized with default values for the specified class. The classes are:
H5P_FILE_CREATE
Properties for file creation. See Files in the HDF User's Guide for details about the file creation properties.
H5P_FILE_ACCESS
Properties for file access. See Files in the HDF User's Guide for details about the file creation properties.
H5P_DATASET_CREATE
Properties for dataset creation. See Datasets in the HDF User's Guide for details about dataset creation properties.
H5P_DATASET_XFER
Properties for raw data transfer. See Datasets in the HDF User's Guide for details about raw data transfer properties.
H5P_MOUNT
Properties for file mounting. With this parameter, H5Pcreate creates and returns a new mount property list initialized with default values.

This property list must eventually be closed with H5Pclose; otherwise, errors are likely to occur.

Parameters:
Returns:
Returns a property list identifier (plist) if successful; otherwise Fail (-1).
