Does HDF5 lib proper make use of generic property lists?

I have been grep'ing HDF5 library source code for instances of USE of
the H5Pregister or H5Pinsert functions and I don't see them being used.

So, I am thinking this means that the HDF5 library proper does not make
use of generic property lists for its properties. Can anyone
confirm/deny that?

Sorry, my mistake. I was grep'ing for externally defined symbols. It
looks like lib does use H5P_register/H5P_insert.

  The library never uses public APIs internally, so you want to look for H5P_register and H5P_insert. (You could look at H5P_dcrt_reg_prop() in src/H5Pdcpl.c for example)
