HDF5 Datatype Wrapper

This module provides a D wrapper for HDF5 datatype operations with RAII semantics for automatic resource management.

struct Datatype

structDatatype

RAII wrapper for HDF5 datatype handles.

This struct manages an HDF5 datatype handle and automatically closes it when the struct goes out of scope. Copy is disabled to prevent double-close issues; use dup() for explicit copying.

Example: 

// Get a native integer type
auto intType = Datatype.nativeInt();

// Create a compound type
auto compType = Datatype.createCompound(16);

Fields
private hid_t _id
private bool _owned
