+ * \returns \herr_t
+ *
+ * \details H5Pset_fapl_mpio() stores the user-supplied MPI IO parameters \p
+ * comm, for communicator, and \p info, for information, in the file
+ * access property list \p fapl_id. That property list can then be used
+ * to create and/or open a file.
+ *
+ * H5Pset_fapl_mpio() is available only in the parallel HDF5 library
+ * and is not a collective function.
+ *
+ * \p comm is the MPI communicator to be used for file open, as defined
+ * in \c MPI_File_open of MPI-2. This function makes a duplicate of the
+ * communicator, so modifications to \p comm after this function call
+ * returns have no effect on the file access property list.
+ *
+ * \p info is the MPI Info object to be used for file open, as defined
+ * in MPI_File_open() of MPI-2. This function makes a duplicate copy of
+ * the Info object, so modifications to the Info object after this
+ * function call returns will have no effect on the file access
+ * property list.
+ *
+ * If the file access property list already contains previously-set
+ * communicator and Info values, those values will be replaced and the
+ * old communicator and Info object will be freed.
+ *
+ * \note Raw dataset chunk caching is not currently supported when using this
+ * file driver in read/write mode. All calls to H5Dread() and H5Dwrite()
+ * will access the disk directly, and H5Pset_cache() and
+ * H5Pset_chunk_cache() will have no effect on performance.\n
+ * Raw dataset chunk caching is supported when this driver is used in
+ * read-only mode.
+ *
+ * \version 1.4.5 Handling of the MPI Communicator and Info object changed at

+ * list instead of pointers to each.

+ * When an application uses collective I/O with chunked storage, the

+ * H5Pset_dxpl_mpio_chunk_opt() works by setting one of the following

+ * - #H5FD_MPIO_CHUNK_MULTI_IO - Do multi-chunked I/O

+ * requested behavior; in such cases, the HDF5 library will internally
+ * use independent I/O.
