H5Dopen: Corrected description of 'loc_id' parameter.
RM_H5T.html
	H5Tset_strpad:
	    Corrected string padding values list (replaced 'H5T_STR_NULL &
	        H5T_STR_SPACE' with ''H5T_STR_NULLTERM, 'H5T_STR_NULLPAD, &
 	        H5T_STR_SPACEPAD'.
	    Added notes re conversion from shorter to longer strings and
	        from longer to shorter strings.
	    Other minor edits and formatting.
	H5Tget_class
	    Corrected H5T_ENUM and H5T_REFERENCE entries in class
	        identifiers table (they were reversed).
Tools.html
	h5dump: Added note that '-bb' option is not yet implemented.
	        Changed 'boot block' to 'super block'.

<dd>Defines the storage mechanism for character strings.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd>The method used to store character strings differs with the
programming language: C usually null terminates strings while
Fortran left-justifies and space-pads strings.
<code>H5Tset_strpad</code> defines the storage mechanism for the string.

<dd><code>H5Tset_strpad</code> defines the storage mechanism for the string.
<p>
The method used to store character strings differs with the
programming language:
<ul>
<li>C usually null terminates strings while
<li>Fortran left-justifies and space-pads strings.
</ul>
Valid string padding values, as passed in the parameter
<code>strpad</code>, are as follows:
<ul> <dl>
<dt>H5T_STR_NULL (<code>0</code>)
<dd>Pad with zeros (as C does)
<dt>H5T_STR_SPACE (<code>1</code>)
<dt>H5T_STR_NULLTERM (<code>0</code>)
<dd>Null terminate (as C does)
<dt>H5T_STR_NULLPAD (<code>1</code>)
<dd>Pad with zeros
<dt>H5T_STR_SPACEPAD (<code>2</code>)
<dd>Pad with spaces (as FORTRAN does)
</dl> </ul>
<p>
When converting from a longer string to a shorter string,
the behavior is as follows.
If the short string is <code>H5T_STR_NULLPAD</code> or
<code>H5T_STR_SPACEPAD</code>, then the string is simply truncated.
If the short string is <code>H5T_STR_NULLTERM</code>, it is
truncated and a null terminator is appended.
<p>
When converting from a shorter string to a longer string,
the long string is padded on the end by appending nulls or spaces.
