"""A low level HDF5 operation failed.
This exception is raised the low level PyTables components used for
accessing HDF5 files. It usually signals that something is not
going well in the HDF5 library or even at the Input/Output level.
Errors in the HDF5 C library may be accompanied by an extensive
HDF5 back trace on standard error (see also
:func:`tables.silence_hdf5_messages`).

Parameters
----------
message
error message
h5bt
This parameter (keyword only) controls the HDF5 back trace
handling. Any keyword arguments other than h5bt is ignored.
* if set to False the HDF5 back trace is ignored and the
:attr:`HDF5ExtError.h5backtrace` attribute is set to None
* if set to True the back trace is retrieved from the HDF5
library and stored in the :attr:`HDF5ExtError.h5backtrace`
attribute as a list of tuples
* if set to "VERBOSE" (default) the HDF5 back trace is
stored in the :attr:`HDF5ExtError.h5backtrace` attribute
and also included in the string representation of the
exception
* if not set (or set to None) the default policy is used
(see :attr:`HDF5ExtError.DEFAULT_H5_BACKTRACE_POLICY`)

Allowed values are "IGNORE" (or "FALSE"), "SAVE" (or "TRUE") and
"VERBOSE" to set the policy to False, True and "VERBOSE"
respectively. The special value "DEFAULT" can be used to reset
the policy to the default value
