HDF5: High Level APIs

The HDF5 High Level APIs (Application Programming Interface) consist on a set of functions build on top of the basic HDF5 library. The purpose is either to define functions which do more operations per call than the basic HDF5 interface or to build a set of functions for added standard object definitions (like images or tables).
