+h5clear clears superblock status flag field, removes metadata cache image, prints
+EOA and EOF, or sets EOA of a file. It is not a general repair tool and should not
+be used to fix file corruption. If a process doesn't shut down cleanly, the
+superblock mark can be left that prevents opening a file without SWMR. Then,
+h5clear can be used to remove this superblock mark so that the file can be inspected
+and appropriate actions can be taken.

C is >= 0; C is optional and will default to 1M when not set.
