* Functions used to simplify creating and manipulating datasets,
* attributes and other features (H5LT, H5LD)
*
* The HDF5 Lite API consists of higher-level functions which do
* more operations per call than the basic HDF5 interface.
* The purpose is to wrap intuitive functions around certain sets
* of features in the existing APIs.
* It has the following sets of functions listed below.
*
* \note \Bold{Programming hints:}
* \note To use any of these functions or subroutines,
* you must first include the relevant include file (C) or
* module (Fortran) in your application.
* \note The following line includes the HDF5 Lite package, H5LT,
* in C applications:
* \code #include "hdf5_hl.h" \endcode
* \note This line includes the H5LT module in Fortran applications:
* \code use h5lt \endcode

* component of \p path resolves to an actual HDF5 object.
* H5LTpath_valid() will return \c TRUE if all the links in
* \p path exist and the final component resolves to an
* actual object; otherwise, it will return \c FALSE.
*
* \p path can be any one of the following:
*
* - An absolute path, which starts with a slash (\c /)
* indicating the file’s root group, followed by the members
* - A relative path with respect to \p loc_id
* - A dot (\c .), if \p loc_id is the object identifier for
* the object itself.
*
* If \p path is an absolute path, then \p loc_id can be an
* identifier for any object in the file as it is used only to
* identify the file. If \p path is a relative path, then
* \p loc_id must be a file or a group identifier.
*
* \note
* Note on Behavior Change:
* The behavior of H5LTpath_valid() was changed in the 1.10.0 release
* in the case where the root group, “/”, is the value of path.
* This change is described below:
* - Let \p loc_id denote a valid HDF5 file identifier, and let
* \p check_object_valid be set to true or false.
* A call to H5LTpath_valid() with arguments \p loc_id, “/”,
* and \p check_object_valid returns a positive value;
* in other words, H5LTpath_valid(loc_id, "/", check_object_valid)
* returns a positive value.
* In HDF5 version 1.8.16, this function returns 0.
* - Let ‘root’ denote a valid HDF5 group identifier that refers
* to the root group of an HDF5 file, and let \p check_object_valid
* be set to true or false.
* A call to H5LTpath_valid() with arguments ‘root’, “/”, and
* \p check_object_valid returns a positive value;
* in other words, H5LTpath_valid(root, "/", check_object_valid)
* returns a positive value.
* In HDF5 version 1.8.16, this function returns 0.
*
* \version 1.10.0 Function behavior changed in this release.
* See the “Note on Behavior Change” section above.

* \ingroup H5LT
*
* \brief Opens an HDF5 file image in memory.
*
* \param[in] buf_ptr A pointer to the supplied initial image
* \param[in] buf_size Size of the supplied buffer
* \param[in] flags Flags specifying whether to open the image
* read-only or read/write, whether HDF5 is to
* take control of the buffer, and instruction
* regarding releasing the buffer.
*
* \return Returns a file identifier if successful;
* otherwise returns a negative value.
* \warning \Bold{Failure Modes:}
* \warning H5LTopen_file_image() will fail if either \p buf_ptr is NULL
* or \p buf_size equals 0 (zero).
*
*
* \details H5LTopen_file_image() opens the HDF5 file image that is
* located in system memory at the address indicated by
* \p buf_ptr of size \p buf_size.
* H5LTopen_file_image() opens a file image with the
* Core driver, #H5FD_CORE.
*
* A value of NULL for \p buf_ptr is invalid and will
* cause the function to fail.
*
* A value of 0 for \p buf_size is invalid and will cause
* the function to fail.
*
* The flags passed in \p flags specify whether to open the image
* read-only or read/write, whether HDF5 is to take control of the
* buffer, and instruction regarding releasing the buffer.
* Valid values are:
* - #H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_OPEN_RW
* - Specifies opening the file image in read/write mode.
* - Default without this flag: File image will be opened read-only.
*
* - #H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_DONT_COPY
* - Specifies to not copy the provided file image buffer;
* the buffer will be used directly. HDF5 will release the
* file image when finished.
* - Default without this flag: Copy the file image buffer and
* open the copied file image.
*
* - #H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_DONT_RELEASE
* - Specifies that HDF5 is not to release the buffer when
* the file opened with H5LTopen_file_image() is closed;
* releasing the buffer will be left to the application.
* - Default without this flag: HDF5 will automatically
* release the file image buffer after the file image is
* closed. This flag is valid only when used with
* #H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_DONT_COPY.
*
* \note **Motivation:**
* \note H5LTopen_file_image() and other elements of HDF5
* are used to load an image of an HDF5 file into system memory
* and open that image as a regular HDF5 file. An application can
* then use the file without the overhead of disk I/O.
*
* \note **Recommended Reading:**
* \note This function is part of the file image operations feature set.
* It is highly recommended to study the guide
*
* HDF5 File Image Operations before using this feature set.\n
* See the “See Also” section below for links to other elements of
* HDF5 file image operations.
*
* \todo There is no "See Also" section???
*
* \since 1.8.9
