Name: H5Topen1
Signature:
  hid_t `H5Topen1`( hid_t `loc_id`, const char * `name` )

Purpose:
  Opens a named datatype.

Notice:
  This function is deprecated in favor of the function `H5Topen2`.

Description:
  `H5Topen1` opens a named datatype at the location specified by `loc_id` and returns an identifier for the datatype. `loc_id` is either a file or group identifier. The identifier should eventually be closed by calling `H5Tclose` to release resources.

Parameters:

hid_t `loc_id` | IN: A file or group identifier.
const char * `name` | IN: A datatype name, defined within the file or group identified by `loc_id`.

Returns:
  Returns a named datatype identifier if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
