Name: H5Eset_auto
Signature:
herr_t H5Eset_auto( H5E_auto_t func, void *client_data )

herr_t H5Eset_auto( hid_t estack_id, H5E_auto_t func, void *client_data )

Purpose:
Returns settings for automatic error stack traversal function and its data.

Description:
H5Eset_auto is a macro that is mapped to either H5Eset_auto1 or H5Eset_auto2, depending on the needs of the application.

Such macros are provided to facilitate application compatibility. Their use and mappings are fully described in “API Compatibility Macros in HDF5”; we urge you to read that document closely.

When both the HDF5 Library and the application are built and installed with no specific compatibility flags, H5Eset_auto is mapped to the most recent version of the function, currently H5Eset_auto2. If the library and/or application is compiled for Release 1.6 emulation, H5Eset_auto will be mapped to H5Eset_auto1. Function-specific flags are available to override these settings on a function-by-function basis when the application is compiled.

Specific compile-time compatibility flags and the resulting mappings are as follows:

Compatibility setting H5Eset_auto mapping

Global settings
No compatibility flag H5Eset_auto2 
Enable deprecated symbols H5Eset_auto2 
Disable deprecated symbols H5Eset_auto2 
Emulate Release 1.6 interface     H5Eset_auto1 

Function-level macros
H5Eset_auto_vers = 2 H5Eset_auto2
H5Eset_auto_vers = 1 H5Eset_auto1
