Precision of atomic data type
output = H5T.get_precision(type_id)
output = H5T.get_precision(type_id) returns
the precision of an atomic data type. type_id is
a data type identifier.
fid = H5F.open('example.h5'); dset_id = H5D.open(fid,'/g3/integer'); type_id = H5D.get_type(dset_id); numbits = H5T.get_precision(type_id);
