<h3>Deleted Functions</h3>
None.
<!--
The following functions are deprecated in HDF5 Release X.X.x.
A backward compatibility mode is provided in this release,
enabling these functions and other Release 1.4.x compatibility
features, but is available only when the HDF5 library is
configured with the flag <code>H5_WANT_H5_V1_4_COMPAT</code>.
The backward compatibility mode is not enabled in the
binaries distributed by NCSA.
