+ * \ingroup FAPL
+ *
+ * \brief Sets up use of the multi-file driver
+ *
+ * \fapl_id
+ * \param[in] memb_map Maps memory usage types to other memory usage types
+ * \param[in] memb_fapl Property list for each memory usage type
+ * \param[in] memb_name Name generator for names of member files
+ * \param[in] memb_addr The offsets within the virtual address space, from 0
+ * (zero) to #HADDR_MAX, at which each type of data storage begins
+ * \param[in] relax Allows read-only access to incomplete file sets when \c TRUE
+ * \returns \herr_t
+ *
+ * \details H5Pset_fapl_multi() sets the file access property list \p fapl_id to
+ * use the multi-file driver.
+ *
+ * The multi-file driver enables different types of HDF5 data and
+ * metadata to be written to separate files. These files are viewed by
+ * the HDF5 library and the application as a single virtual HDF5 file
+ * with a single HDF5 file address space. The types of data that can be
+ * broken out into separate files include raw data, the superblock,
+ * B-tree data, global heap data, local heap data, and object
+ * headers. At the programmer's discretion, two or more types of data
+ * can be written to the same file while other types of data are
+ * written to separate files.
+ *
+ * The array \p memb_map maps memory usage types to other memory usage
+ * types and is the mechanism that allows the caller to specify how
+ * many files are created. The array contains #H5FD_MEM_NTYPES entries,
+ * which are either the value #H5FD_MEM_DEFAULT or a memory usage
+ * type. The number of unique values determines the number of files
+ * that are opened.
+ *
+ * The array \p memb_fapl contains a property list for each memory
+ * usage type that will be associated with a file.
+ *
+ * The array \p memb_name should be a name generator (a
+ * \Code{printf}-style format with a \Code{%s} which will be replaced
+ * with the name passed to H5FDopen(), usually from H5Fcreate() or
+ * H5Fopen()).
+ *
+ * The array \p memb_addr specifies the offsets within the virtual
+ * address space, from 0 (zero) to #HADDR_MAX, at which each type of
+ * data storage begins.
+ *
+ * If \p relax is set to 1 (TRUE), then opening an existing file for
+ * read-only access will not fail if some file members are
+ * missing. This allows a file to be accessed in a limited sense if
+ * just the meta data is available.
+ *
+ * Default values for each of the optional arguments are as follows:
+ * <table>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>\p memb_map</td>
+ * <td>The default member map contains the value #H5FD_MEM_DEFAULT for each element.</td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>
+ * \p memb_fapl
+ * </td>
+ * <td>
+ * The default value is #H5P_DEFAULT for each element.
+ * </td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>
+ * \p memb_name
+ * </td>
+ * <td>
+ * The default string is \Code{%s-X.h5} where \c X is one of the following letters:
+ * - \c s for #H5FD_MEM_SUPER
+ * - \c b for #H5FD_MEM_BTREE
+ * - \c r for #H5FD_MEM_DRAW
+ * - \c g for #H5FD_MEM_GHEAP
+ * - \c l for #H5FD_MEM_LHEAP
+ * - \c o for #H5FD_MEM_OHDR
+ * </td>
+ * </tr>
+ * <tr>
+ * <td>
+ * \p memb_addr
+ * </td>
+ * <td>
+ * The default setting is that the address space is equally divided
+ * among all of the elements:
+ * - #H5FD_MEM_SUPER \Code{-> 0 * (HADDR_MAX/6)}
+ * - #H5FD_MEM_BTREE \Code{-> 1 * (HADDR_MAX/6)}
+ * - #H5FD_MEM_DRAW \Code{-> 2 * (HADDR_MAX/6)}
+ * - #H5FD_MEM_GHEAP \Code{-> 3 * (HADDR_MAX/6)}
+ * - #H5FD_MEM_LHEAP \Code{-> 4 * (HADDR_MAX/6)}
+ * - #H5FD_MEM_OHDR \Code{-> 5 * (HADDR_MAX/6)}
+ * </td>
+ * </tr>
+ * </table>
+ *
+ * \par Example:
+ * The following code sample sets up a multi-file access property list that
+ * partitions data into meta and raw files, each being one-half of the address:\n
+ * \code
+ * H5FD_mem_t mt, memb_map[H5FD_MEM_NTYPES];
+ * hid_t memb_fapl[H5FD_MEM_NTYPES];
+ * const char *memb[H5FD_MEM_NTYPES];
+ * haddr_t memb_addr[H5FD_MEM_NTYPES];
+ *
+ * // The mapping...
+ * for (mt=0; mt<H5FD_MEM_NTYPES; mt++) {
+ * memb_map[mt] = H5FD_MEM_SUPER;
+ * }
+ * memb_map[H5FD_MEM_DRAW] = H5FD_MEM_DRAW;
+ *
+ * // Member information
+ * memb_fapl[H5FD_MEM_SUPER] = H5P_DEFAULT;
+ * memb_name[H5FD_MEM_SUPER] = "%s.meta";
+ * memb_addr[H5FD_MEM_SUPER] = 0;
+ *
+ * memb_fapl[H5FD_MEM_DRAW] = H5P_DEFAULT;
+ * memb_name[H5FD_MEM_DRAW] = "%s.raw";
+ * memb_addr[H5FD_MEM_DRAW] = HADDR_MAX/2;
+ *
+ * hid_t fapl = H5Pcreate(H5P_FILE_ACCESS);
+ * H5Pset_fapl_multi(fapl, memb_map, memb_fapl,
+ * memb_name, memb_addr, TRUE);
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * \version 1.6.3 \p memb_name parameter type changed to \Code{const char* const*}.
+ * \since 1.4.0

+ *
+ * \details H5Pset_fapl_split() is a compatibility function that enables the
+ * multi-file driver to emulate the split driver from HDF5 Releases 1.0
+ * and 1.2. The split file driver stored metadata and raw data in
+ * separate files but provided no mechanism for separating types of
+ * metadata.
+ *
+ * \p fapl is a file access property list identifier.
+ *
+ * \p meta_ext is the filename extension for the metadata file. The
+ * extension is appended to the name passed to H5FDopen(), usually from
+ * H5Fcreate() or H5Fopen(), to form the name of the metadata file. If
+ * the string \Code{%s} is used in the extension, it works like the
+ * name generator as in H5Pset_fapl_multi().
+ *
+ * \p meta_plist_id is the file access property list identifier for the
+ * metadata file.
+ *
+ * \p raw_ext is the filename extension for the raw data file. The
+ * extension is appended to the name passed to H5FDopen(), usually from
+ * H5Fcreate() or H5Fopen(), to form the name of the raw data file. If
+ * the string \Code{%s} is used in the extension, it works like the
+ * name generator as in H5Pset_fapl_multi().
+ *
+ * \p raw_plist_id is the file access property list identifier for the
+ * raw data file.
+ *
+ * If a user wishes to check to see whether this driver is in use, the
+ * user must call H5Pget_driver() and compare the returned value to the
+ * string #H5FD_MULTI. A positive match will confirm that the multi
+ * driver is in use; HDF5 provides no mechanism to determine whether it
+ * was called as the special case invoked by H5Pset_fapl_split().
+ *
+ * \par Example:
+ * \code
+ * // Example 1: Both metadata and rawdata files are in the same
+ * // directory. Use Station1-m.h5 and Station1-r.h5 as
+ * // the metadata and rawdata files.
+ * hid_t fapl, fid;
+ * fapl = H5Pcreate(H5P_FILE_ACCESS);
+ * H5Pset_fapl_split(fapl, "-m.h5", H5P_DEFAULT, "-r.h5", H5P_DEFAULT);
+ * fid=H5Fcreate("Station1",H5F_ACC_TRUNC,H5P_DEFAULT,fapl);

+ * // Example 2: metadata and rawdata files are in different
