<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
<dd><em>int</em> <code>H5Idec_ref</code>(<em>hid_t</em> <code>obj_id</code>)
<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
<dd>Decrements the reference count for an object.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Idec_ref</code> decrements the reference count of the object
identified by <code>obj_id</code>.
<p>
The reference count for an object ID is attached to the information
about an object in memory and has no relation to the number of links to
an object on disk.
<p>
The reference count for a newly created object will be 1.
Reference counts for objects may be explicitly modified with this
function or with <code>H5Iinc_ref</code>.
When an object ID's reference count reaches zero, the object will be
closed.
Calling an object ID's 'close' function decrements the reference count
for the ID which normally closes the object, but
if the reference count for the ID has been incremented with
<code>H5Iinc_ref</code>, the object will only be closed when the
reference count
reaches zero with further calls to this function or the
object ID's 'close' function.
<p>
If the object ID was created by a collective parallel call (such as
<code>H5Dcreate</code>, <code>H5Gopen</code>, etc.), the reference
count should be modified by all the processes which have copies of
the ID. Generally this means that group, dataset, attribute, file
and named datatype IDs should be modified by all the processes and
that all other types of IDs are safe to modify by individual processes.
<p>
This function is of particular value when an application is maintaining
multiple copies of an object ID. The object ID can be incremented when
a copy is made. Each copy of the ID can then be safely closed or
decremented and the HDF5 object will be closed when the reference count
for that that object drops to zero.
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
<dl>
<dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>obj_id</code>
<dd>IN: Object identifier whose reference count will be modified.
</dl>
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
<dd>Returns a non-negative reference count of the object ID after
decrementing it if successful; otherwise a negative value is returned.

<dd>Retrieves the reference count for an object.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Iget_ref</code> retrieves the reference count of the object
identified by <code>obj_id</code>.
<p>
The reference count for an object ID is attached to the information
about an object in memory and has no relation to the number of links to
an object on disk.
<p>
This function can also be used to check if an object ID is still valid.
A non-negative return value from this function indicates that the ID
is still valid.
