* [svn-r12623] Added H5Fget_intent() function to get the "intent" of a file ↵James Laird2006-08-241-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | (read/write or read-only). Added this to external links, so that external files are opened with the same intent as the source file. Added tests.
* [svn-r12596] Refactored how external files are opened and closed.James Laird2006-08-181-1/+0
| | | | | | | | Object header locations (H5O_loc_t's) can now "hold open" a file and decrement its open object count when they close. This means that locations (H5O_loc_t's and H5G_loc_t's) should always be freed. Added more thorough tests to ensure that external files are closed.
* [svn-r12533] Standardized the way path prefixes are passed to external links ↵James Laird2006-08-031-7/+5
| | | | | | using a LAPL. Now there are H5Pget and H5Pset functions for "elink_prefixes".
* [svn-r12528] Added User-Defined links to the library.James Laird2006-08-021-0/+314
Users can create external links using H5L_create_external(). These links point to an object in another HDF5 file. Users can alter the behavior of external links or create new kinds of links by registering callbacks using the H5L interface. Added tests, tools support, etc. Also a number of other, minor changes have been made (some restructuring of the H5L interface, for instance). Additional documentation and examples are forthcoming.
