<h2>7. <a href="DatatypesEnum.html">Enumeration Data Types</a></h2>
An HDF5 enumeration data type is a 1:1 mapping between a set of
symbols and a set of integer values, and an order is imposed on
the symbols by their integer values. The symbols are passed
between the application and library as character strings and all
the values for a particular enumeration type are of the same
integer type, which is not necessarily a native type.
<p>
Details of enumeration data types and the related functions
are discussed on a separate
<a href="DatatypesEnum.html">Enumeration Data Types</a> page.
