	Creates a new compound type.
herr_t	addAttributeToCompoundType (hid_t loc_id, const char *name, size_t offset, hid_t type_id)
	Adds one attribute to a compound type.
herr_t	addAttributeToCompoundType_fmt (hid_t loc_id, const char *name, size_t offset, const char *fmt)
	Same as addAttributeToCompoundType, but instead of a type as hid_t a format specifier is provided.
herr_t	addArrayToCompoundType (hid_t loc_id, const char *name, size_t offset, int ndims, size_t *dims, hid_t type_id)
	Adds an array attribute to a compound type.
herr_t	addArrayToCompoundType_fmt (hid_t loc_id, const char *name, size_t offset, int ndims, size_t *dims, const char *fmt)
	Same as addArrayToCompoundType, but instead of a type as hid_t, the format is specified with a format specifier.
