public class H5Datatype extends Datatype
This class defines HDF5 datatype characteristics and APIs for a data type. This class provides several methods to convert an HDF5 datatype identifier to a datatype object, and vice versa. A datatype object is described by four basic fields: datatype class, size, byte order, and sign, while an HDF5 datatype is presented by a datatype identifier.
