Create soft link
H5L.create_soft(target_path,link_loc_id,link_name,lcpl_id,lapl_id)
H5L.create_soft(target_path,link_loc_id,link_name,lcpl_id,lapl_id)
creates a new soft link to an object in an HDF5 file. The new link
may be one of many that point to that object. target_path specifies
the path to the target object, i.e., the object that the new soft
link points to. target_path can be anything and
is interpreted at lookup time. This target_path may
be absolute in the file or relative to link_loc_id.
link_loc_id and link_name specify
the location and name, respectively, of the new link. link_name is
interpreted relative to link_loc_id.
lcpl_id and lapl_id are
the link creation and access property lists associated with the new
link.
