+ * Function:    H5T_patch_file

+ * Purpose:     Patch the top-level file pointers contained in dt to point
+ *              to f, if dt is a committed type.  This is possible because
+ *              the top-level file pointer can be closed out from under
+ *              dt while dt is contained in the shared file's cache.
+ *
+ * Return:      SUCCEED
+ *
+ * Programmer:  Neil Fortner
