<dt><strong>Name:</strong> <a name="Library-GarbageCollect">H5garbage_collect</a>
<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
<dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5garbage_collect</code>(<em>void</em>)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Garbage collects on all free-lists of all types.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5garbage_collect</code> walks through all the garbage
collection routines of the library, freeing any unused memory.
<p>
It is not required that <code>H5garbage_collect</code> be called
at any particular time; it is only necessary in certain situations
where the application has performed actions that cause the library
to allocate many objects. The application should call
<code>H5garbage_collect</code> if it eventually releases those
objects and wants to reduce the memory used by the library from
the peak usage required.
<p>
The library automatically garbage collects all the free lists
when the application ends.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<dl>
<dt>None.
</dl>
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
<dd>Returns a non-negative value if successful;
otherwise returns a negative value.
