  herr_t `H5Tcommit`( hid_t `loc_id`, const char *`name`, hid_t `dtype_id`, hid_t `lcpl_id`, hid_t `tcpl_id`, hid_t `tapl_id` )

Purpose:
  Commits a transient datatype, linking it into the file and creating a new named datatype.

Description:
  `H5Tcommit` is a macro that is mapped to either `H5Tcommit1` or `H5Tcommit2`, 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, `H5Tcommit` is mapped to the most recent version of the function, currently `H5Tcommit2`. If the library and/or application is compiled for Release 1.6 emulation, `H5Tcommit` will be mapped to `H5Tcommit1`. 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 | `H5Tcommit` mapping
  --- | ---
  Global settings
  No compatibility flag | `H5Tcommit2`
  Enable deprecated symbols | `H5Tcommit2`
  Disable deprecated symbols | `H5Tcommit2`
  Emulate Release 1.6 interface`` | `H5Tcommit1`
  Function-level macros
  `H5Tcommit_vers = 2` | `H5Tcommit2`
  `H5Tcommit_vers = 1` | `H5Tcommit1`
