Property List Interface.
The HDF5 Property List Interface provides a mechanism to take advantage of more powerful or unusual features in HDF5.
HDF5 objects have properties or characteristics associated with them, and there are default properties that handle the most common needs. These default properties can be modified using the HDF5 Property List Interface. For example, the data storage layout property of a dataset is contiguous by default. For better performance, the layout can be modified to be chunked or chunked and compressed.
