The HDF5 library provides several interfaces, each of which provides the
tools required to meet specific aspects of the HDF5 data-handling requirements.

<h3>The Fortran90 and C++ APIs to HDF5</h3>
</a>
The HDF5 Library distribution now includes FORTRAN90 and C++ APIs.
These APIs are described in the following documents.
<p>
<strong>Fortran90 API</strong>
<dir>
<a href="fortran/F90UserNotes.html" target="External">
<cite>HDF5 FORTRAN90 User's Notes</cite></a>
contains general information regarding the API.
Specific information on each API call is found in the
<cite>Reference Manual</cite>.
<p>
<u>Fortran90 APIs in the <cite>Reference Manual</cite>:</u>
The current version of the <cite>HDF5 Reference Manual</cite> includes
descriptions of the Fortran90 APIs to HDF5.
Fortran subroutines exist in the H5, H5A, H5D, H5E, H5F, H5G, H5I, H5P,
H5R, H5S, H5T, and H5Z interfaces and are described on those pages.
In general, each Fortran subroutine performs exactly the same task
as the corresponding C function.
<p>
Whereas Fortran subroutines had been described on separate pages in
prior reelases, those descriptions are fully integrted into the
body of the reference manual for HDF5 Release 1.6.1.
(Exception: That integration will not be complete for H5P subroutines
until approximately 1 week after the release; most of the H5P Fortran
interfaces are still described on a separate page. The above-mentioned
PDF version of the reference manual will be posted after the Fortran
integration is complete.)
<p>
<a href="fortran/F90Flags.html" target="External">
<cite>HDF5 Fortran90 Flags and Datatypes</cite></a>
lists the flags employed in the Fortran90 interface and
contains a pointer to the HDF5 Fortran90 datatypes.
</dir>
<strong>C++ API</strong>
<dir>
<a href="cpplus/CppUserNotes.pdf" target="External">
<cite>HDF5 C++ User's Notes</cite></a>
<p>
<a href="cpplus/CppInterfaces.html" target="External">
<cite>HDF5 C++ Interfaces</cite></a>
