<h4>Predefined native datatypes</h4>
<dir>
These are the datatypes detected by <code>H5detect</code>.
Their names differ from other HDF5 datatype names as follows:
<ul>
<li>Instead of a class name, precision, and byte order as the last
component, they have a C-like datatype name.
<li>If the datatype begins with <code>U</code>, then it is the unsigned
version of the integer datatype; other integer datatypes are signed.
<li>The datatype <code>LLONG</code> corresponds to
C's <code>long_long</code> and
<code>LDOUBLE</code> is <code>long_double</code>.
These datatypes might be the same as <code>LONG</code> and
<code>DOUBLE</code>, respectively.
</ul>
