 *
 *          The differences between this function and H5Tcommit() are as follows:
 *          \li H5Tcommit_anon() explicitly includes property lists,
 *              which provides for greater control of the creation process
 *              and of the properties of the new named datatype. H5Tcommit()

 *          \li H5Tcommit_anon() neither provides the new named datatype's
 *              name nor links it into the HDF5 file structure; those actions
 *              must be performed separately through a call to H5Olink(),
