Name: H5Tset_pad
Signature:
  herr_t `H5Tset_pad`( hid_t `dtype_id`, H5T_pad_t `lsb`, H5T_pad_t `msb` )
Purpose:
  Sets the least and most-significant bits padding types.

Description:
  `H5Tset_pad` sets the least and most-significant bits padding types.
  H5T_PAD_ZERO (`0`)
    Set background to zeros.
  H5T_PAD_ONE (`1`)
    Set background to ones.
  H5T_PAD_BACKGROUND (`2`)
    Leave background alone.

Parameters:

  hid_t `dtype_id` | IN: Identifier of datatype to set.
  H5T_pad_t `lsb` | IN: Padding type for least-significant bits.
  H5T_pad_t `msb` | IN: Padding type for most-significant bits.

Returns:
  Returns a non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
