OBJECT HEADERS
--------------
haddr_t
H5O_new (hdf5_file_t *f, intn nrefs, size_t size_hint)
Creates a new empty object header and returns its address.
The SIZE_HINT is the initial size of the data portion of the
object header and NREFS is the number of symbol table entries
that reference this object header (normally one).
If SIZE_HINT is too small, then at least some default amount
of space is allocated for the object header.
intn /*num remaining links */
H5O_link (hdf5_file_t *f, /*file containing header */
haddr_t addr, /*header file address */
intn adjust) /*link adjustment amount */
size_t
H5O_sizeof (hdf5_file_t *f, /*file containing header */
haddr_t addr, /*header file address */
H5O_class_t *type, /*message type or H5O_ANY */
intn sequence) /*sequence number, usually zero */
Returns the size of a particular instance of a message in an
object header. When an object header has more than one
instance of a particular message type, then SEQUENCE indicates
which instance to return.
