 * \brief Registers a user-defined link class or changes behavior of an
 *        existing class
 *
 * \param[in] cls Pointer to a buffer containing the struct describing the
 *            user-defined link class
 *
 * \return \herr_t
 *
 * \details H5Lregister() registers a class of user-defined links, or changes
 *          the behavior of an existing class.
 *
 *          \p cls is a pointer to a buffer containing a copy of the
 *          H5L_class_t struct. This struct is defined in H5Lpublic.h as
 *          follows:
 *          \snippet this H5L_class_t_snip
 *
 *          The class definition passed with \p cls must include at least the
 *          following:
 *          \li An H5L_class_t version (which should be #H5L_LINK_CLASS_T_VERS)
 *          \li A link class identifier, \c class_id
 *          \li A traversal function, \c trav_func
 *
 *          Remaining \c struct members are optional and may be passed as NULL.
 *
 *          The link class passed in \c class_id must be in the user-definable
 *          range between #H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN and #H5L_TYPE_UD_MAX
 *          (see the table below) and will override
 *          any existing link class with that identifier.
 *
 *          As distributed, valid values of \c class_id used in HDF5 include
 *          the following (defined in H5Lpublic.h):
 *          \link_types
 *
 *          The hard and soft link class identifiers cannot be modified or
 *          reassigned, but the external link class is implemented as an
 *          example in the user-definable link class identifier range.
 *          H5Lregister() is used to register additional link classes. It could
 *          also be used to modify the behavior of the external link class,
 *          though that is not recommended.
 *
 *          The following table summarizes existing link types and values and
 *          the reserved and user-definable link class identifier value ranges.
 *          <table>
 *            <tr>
 *              <th>Link class identifier or Value range</th>
 *              <th>Description</th>
 *              <th>Link class or label</th>

 *            <tr>

 *              <td>Reserved range</td>
 *              <td></td>
 *            </tr>
 *            <tr>

 *            </tr>
 *            <tr>
 *              <td>255</td>
 *              <td>Maximum user-defined value</td>
 *              <td>#H5L_TYPE_UD_MAX</td>
 *            </tr>
 *            <tr>

 *              <td>Maximum value</td>

 *            <tr>
 *              <td>-1</td>
 *              <td>Error</td>

 *            </tr>
 *          </table>
 *
 *          Note that HDF5 internally registers user-defined link classes only
 *          by the numeric value of the link class identifier. An application,
 *          on the other hand, will generally use a name for a user-defined
 *          class, if for no other purpose than as a variable name. Assume,
 *          for example, that a complex link type is registered with the link
 *          class identifier 73 and that the code includes the following
 *          assignment:
 *          \code
 *          H5L_TYPE_COMPLEX_A = 73
 *          \endcode
 *          The application can refer to the link class with a term,
 *          \c  H5L_TYPE_COMPLEX_A, that conveys meaning to a human reviewing
 *          the code, while HDF5 recognizes it by the more cryptic numeric
 *          identifier, 73.
 *
 * \attention Important details and considerations include the following:
 *            \li If you plan to distribute files or software with a
 *                user-defined link class, please contact the Help Desk at
 *                The HDF Group to help prevent collisions between \c class_id
 *                values. See below.
 *            \li As distributed with HDF5, the external link class is
 *                implemented as an example of a user-defined link class with
 *                #H5L_TYPE_EXTERNAL equal to #H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN. \c class_id in
 *                the H5L_class_t \c struct must not equal #H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN
 *                unless you intend to overwrite or modify the behavior of
 *                external links.
 *            \li H5Lregister() can be used only with link class identifiers
 *                in the user-definable range (see table above).
 *            \li The hard and soft links defined by the HDF5 library,
 *                #H5L_TYPE_HARD and #H5L_TYPE_SOFT, reside in the reserved
 *                range below #H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN and cannot be redefined or
 *                modified.
 *            \li H5Lis_registered() can be used to determine whether a desired
 *                link class identifier is available. \Emph{Note that this
 *                function will tell you only whether the link class identifier
 *                has been registered with the installed copy of HDF5; it
 *                cannot tell you whether the link class has been registered
 *                with The HDF Group.}
 *            \li #H5L_TYPE_MAX is the maximum allowed value for a link type
 *                identifier.
 *            \li #H5L_TYPE_UD_MIN equals #H5L_TYPE_EXTERNAL.
 *            \li #H5L_TYPE_UD_MAX equals #H5L_TYPE_MAX.
 *            \li #H5L_TYPE_ERROR indicates that an error has occurred.
 *
 * \note \Bold{Registration with The HDF Group:}\n
 *       There are sometimes reasons to take a broader approach to registering
 *       a user-defined link class than just invoking H5Lregister(). For
 *       example:
 *       \li A user-defined link class is intended for use across an
 *           organization, among collaborators, or across a community of users.
 *       \li An application or library overlying HDF5 invokes a user-defined
 *           link class that must be shipped with the software.
 *       \li Files are distributed that make use of a user-defined link class.
 *       \li Or simply, a specific user-defined link class is thought to be
 *           widely useful.
 *
 *       In such cases, you are encouraged to register that link class with
 *       The HDF Group's Helpdesk. The HDF Group maintains a registry of known
 *       user-defined link classes and tracks the selected link class
 *       identifiers. This registry is intended to reduce the risk of
 *       collisions between \c class_id values and to help coordinate the use
 *       of specialized link classes.
