  <dt><strong>Name:</strong> <a name="Property-Set">H5Pset</a>
  <dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
    <dd><em>herr_t</em> <code>H5Pset</code>(
                  <em>hid_t</em> <code>plid</code>,
                  <em>const char *</em><code>name</code>,
                  <em>void *</em><code>value</code>)
        )

  <p>
  <dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
    <dd>Sets a property list value.

  <p>
  <dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Pset</code> sets a new value for a property in a 
    property list.  If there is a <code>set</code> callback 
    routine registered for this property, the <code>value</code> will be 
    passed to that routine and any changes to the <code>value</code> 
    will be used when setting the property value.  
    The information pointed to by the <code>value</code> pointer 
    (possibly modified by the <code>set</code> callback) is copied into 
    the property list value and may be changed by the application making 
    the <code>H5Pset</code> call without affecting the property value.

    <P>
    The property name must exist or this routine will fail.  

    <P>
    If the <code>set</code> callback routine returns an error, the 
    property value will not be modified.  

    <P>
    This routine may not be called for zero-sized properties 
    and will return an error in that case.
