``HL`` refers to the "high-level" HDF5 functions for C and Fortran.
If the ``COMPONENTS`` argument is not given, the module will

For example, to use Fortran HDF5 and HDF5-HL functions, do:

To provide the module with a hint about where to find your ``HDF5``

Find module will then look in this path when searching for ``HDF5``
