<h2>9. Sharing Data Types among Datasets</h2>
<h2>9. Variable-length Data Types</h2>
Variable-length (VL) data types have been implemented for HDF5
Release 1.2. The documents are not yet ready (at the time of
the Beta release), but a
<a href="VLdatatypes.html" target="ExtDoc">temporary VL data types
document</a> is provided. VL datatypes are manipulated by means
of the following functions:
<ul>
<li>H5Tvlen_create
<li>H5Dget_vlen_buf_size &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (Not yet implemented.)
<li>H5Dvlen_reclaim
<li>H5Pset_vlen_mem_manage_type
<li>H5Pset_vlen_mem_manager
</ul>
The first three functions above are currently described in the
<i><a href="RM_H5Front.html">HDF5 Reference Manual</a></i>.
