H5Pall_filters_avail(h5plist)

H5Pget_nfilters(h5plist)

H5Pget_filter(h5plist, idx)

`h5plist`	Object of class H5IdComponent representing a dataset creation property list.
`idx`	Integer of length 1. This argument selects which filter to return information about. Indexing is R-style 1-based.

H5Pall_filters_avail() checks whether all filters required to process a dataset are available to rhdf5. This can be required if reading files created with other HDF5 software.
H5Pget_nfilters() returns the number of filters in the dataset chunk processing pipeline.
H5Pget_filter() provides details of a specific filter in the pipeline. This includes the filter name and the parameters provided to it e.g. compression level.
