/*
These functions provide code that are common to both H5File and Group.
Some of the member functions of these two classes call a common function
and provide it a file or group id to perform a task that can be done on
either an H5File or Group instance. 10/31/00

The name of the functions ends with a T because these functions were
template functions until it was realized that more than one of our
supported platforms have not supported template functions.
