+ * <em>Functions used to simplify creating and manipulating datasets,
+ * attributes and other features (H5LT, H5LD)</em>
+ *
+ * The HDF5 Lite API consists of higher-level functions which do
+ * more operations per call than the basic HDF5 interface.
+ * The purpose is to wrap intuitive functions around certain sets
+ * of features in the existing APIs.
+ * It has the following sets of functions listed below.
+ *
+ * \note \Bold{Programming hints:}
+ * \note To use any of these functions or subroutines,
+ * you must first include the relevant include file (C) or
+ * module (Fortran) in your application.
+ * \note The following line includes the HDF5 Lite package, H5LT,
+ * in C applications:
+ * \code #include "hdf5_hl.h" \endcode
+ * \note This line includes the H5LT module in Fortran applications:
+ * \code use h5lt \endcode

+ *
+ * The meaning of the function’s return value depends on the
+ * value of \p check_object_valid:
+ *
+ * If \p check_object_valid is set to \c FALSE, H5LTpath_valid()
+ * will check all links in \p path to verify that they exist.

+ *
+ * If \p check_object_valid is set to \c TRUE,
+ * H5LTpath_valid() will first check the links in \p path,
+ * as described above. If all the links exist,
+ * \p check_object_valid will then determine whether the final
+ * component of \p path resolves to an actual HDF5 object.
+ * H5LTpath_valid() will return \c TRUE if all the links in
+ * \p path exist and the final component resolves to an
+ * actual object; otherwise, it will return \c FALSE.
+ *
+ * \p path can be any one of the following:
+ *
+ * - An absolute path, which starts with a slash (\c /)
+ * indicating the file’s root group, followed by the members
+ * - A relative path with respect to \p loc_id
+ * - A dot (\c .), if \p loc_id is the object identifier for
+ * the object itself
+ * .
+ *
+ * If \p path is an absolute path, then \p loc_id can be an
+ * identifier for any object in the file as it is used only to
+ * identify the file. If \p path is a relative path, then
+ * \p loc_id must be a file or a group identifier.
+ *
+ * \note
+ * <b>Note on Behavior Change:</b>
+ * The behavior of H5LTpath_valid() was changed in the 1.10.0 release
+ * in the case where the root group, “/”, is the value of path.
+ * This change is described below:
+ * - Let \p loc_id denote a valid HDF5 file identifier, and let
+ * \p check_object_valid be set to true or false.
+ * A call to H5LTpath_valid() with arguments \p loc_id, “/”,
+ * and \p check_object_valid returns a positive value;
+ * in other words, H5LTpath_valid(loc_id, "/", check_object_valid)
+ * returns a positive value.
+ * In HDF5 version 1.8.16, this function returns 0.
+ * - Let ‘root’ denote a valid HDF5 group identifier that refers
+ * to the root group of an HDF5 file, and let \p check_object_valid
+ * be set to true or false.
+ * A call to H5LTpath_valid() with arguments ‘root’, “/”, and
+ * \p check_object_valid returns a positive value;
+ * in other words, H5LTpath_valid(root, "/", check_object_valid)
+ * returns a positive value.
+ * In HDF5 version 1.8.16, this function returns 0.
+ *
+ * \version 1.10.0 Function behavior changed in this release.

+ * \param[in] flags Flags specifying whether to open the image

+ *
+ * \return Returns a file identifier if successful;

+ * \warning \Bold{Failure Modes:}
+ * \warning H5LTopen_file_image() will fail if either \p buf_ptr is NULL
+ * or \p buf_size equals 0 (zero).
+ *
+ *
+ * \details H5LTopen_file_image() opens the HDF5 file image that is
+ * located in system memory at the address indicated by
+ * \p buf_ptr of size \p buf_size.
+ * H5LTopen_file_image() opens a file image with the
+ * Core driver, #H5FD_CORE.
+ *
+ * A value of NULL for \p buf_ptr is invalid and will
+ * cause the function to fail.
+ *
+ * A value of 0 for \p buf_size is invalid and will cause
+ * the function to fail.
+ *
+ * The flags passed in \p flags specify whether to open the image
+ * read-only or read/write, whether HDF5 is to take control of the
+ * buffer, and instruction regarding releasing the buffer.
+ * Valid values are:
+ * - #H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_OPEN_RW
+ * - Specifies opening the file image in read/write mode.
+ * - Default without this flag: File image will be opened read-only.
+ * .
+ * - #H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_DONT_COPY
+ * - Specifies to not copy the provided file image buffer;
+ * the buffer will be used directly. HDF5 will release the
+ * file image when finished.
+ * - Default without this flag: Copy the file image buffer and
+ * open the copied file image.
+ * .
+ * - #H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_DONT_RELEASE
+ * - Specifies that HDF5 is not to release the buffer when
+ * the file opened with H5LTopen_file_image() is closed;
+ * releasing the buffer will be left to the application.
+ * - Default without this flag: HDF5 will automatically
+ * release the file image buffer after the file image is
+ * closed. This flag is valid only when used with
+ * #H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_DONT_COPY.
+ * .
+ * .
+ *
+ * \note **Motivation:**
+ * \note H5LTopen_file_image() and other elements of HDF5
+ * are used to load an image of an HDF5 file into system memory
+ * and open that image as a regular HDF5 file. An application can
+ * then use the file without the overhead of disk I/O.
+ *
+ * \note **Recommended Reading:**
+ * \note This function is part of the file image operations feature set.
+ * It is highly recommended to study the guide
+ * <a href="https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/HDF5+File+Image+Operations">
+ * HDF5 File Image Operations</a> before using this feature set.\n
+ * See the “See Also” section below for links to other elements of
+ * HDF5 file image operations.
+ *
+ * \todo There is no "See Also" section???
