+* Function:    H5FD_driver_query
+*
+* Purpose: Similar to H5FD_query(), but intended for cases when we don't
+*          have a file available (e.g. before one is opened). Since we
+*          can't use the file to get the driver, the driver is passed in
+*          as a parameter.
+*
+* Return:  Success:    non-negative
+*          Failure:    negative
+*
+* Programmer:  Jacob Gruber
