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.
