Doxygen Generated Reference Manual

The new HDF5 C-API documentation based on Doxygen is available at

 https://docs.hdfgroup.org/hdf5/v1_12/

Included are all core library functions documented in the current documentation with the exception of H5P[g,s]et_fapl_[hdfs,ros3].

Note that the Fortran-API is NOT included in this release, and will be included in a future release.  Online versions can be found at these URLs:

This documentation is WORK-IN-PROGRESS. That’s why all existing documentation will remain accessible for the foreseeable future.

Since this portion of the HDF5 documentation is now part of the source code, it gets the same treatment as code. In other words, issues, inaccuracies, corrections should be reported as issues in GitHub (https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5/issues), and pull requests will be reviewed and accepted as any other code changes.
