H5F_SET_DSET_NO_ATTRS_HINT sets the no dataset attributes hint setting for the file specified by the file identifier file_id. If the boolean flag minimize is set to TRUE, then the library will create minimized dataset object headers in the file.  All files that refer to the same file-on-disk will be affected by the most recent setting, regardless of the file identifier/handle (e.g., as returned by H5F_OPEN).  By setting the minimize flag to TRUE, the library expects that no attributes will be added to the dataset -- attributes can be added, but they are appended with a continuation message, which can reduce performance.

This setting interacts with H5P_SET_DSET_NO_ATTRS_HINT: if either is set to TRUE, then the created dataset's object header will be minimized.

Non-negative value (SUCCEED) if successful. Negative (FAIL) on failure.
