   FILE
   atom.c - Internal storage routines for handling "atoms"

   REMARKS
   Atoms are just ID's which allow objects (void *'s currently) to be
   bundled into "groups" for more general storage.

   DESIGN
   The groups are stored in an array of pointers to store each group in an
   element. Each "atomic group" node contains a link to a hash table to
   manage the atoms in each group.  The allowed "atomic groups" are stored
   in an enum (called group_t) in atom.h.

   BUGS/LIMITATIONS
   Can't interate over the atoms in a group.

   LOCAL ROUTINES
   H5A_find_atom      - Returns a pointer to an atom_info_t from a atom ID
   H5A_get_atom_node  - Gets an atom node (uses the atom free list)
   H5A_release_atom_node - Releases an atom node (uses the atom free list)
   EXPORTED ROUTINES
   Atom Functions:
   H5A_register       - Register an object in a group and get an atom for it
   H5A_object         - Get the object for an atom
   H5A_group          - Get the group for an atom
   H5A_remove         - Remove an atom from a group
   H5A_search         - Search a group for a particular object
   Atom Group Functions:
   H5A_init_group      - Initialize a group to store atoms in
   H5A_destroy_group   - Destroy an atomic group
   Atom Group Cleanup:
   H5Ashutdown        - Terminate various static buffers.

 NAME
     H5A_init_group - Initialize an atomic group

 DESCRIPTION
    Creates a global atomic group to store atoms in.  If the group has already
    been initialized, this routine just increments the count of # of
    initializations and returns without trying to change the size of the hash
    table.  A specific number of group entries may be reserved to enable
    "constant" values to be handed out which are valid atoms in the group, but
    which do not map to any data structures and are not allocated dynamicly
    later.

 RETURNS
    Returns SUCCEED if successful and FAIL otherwise

 DESCRIPTION
    Registers an object in a group and returns an atom for it.  This routine

    twice, you will get two different atoms for it.  This routine does make
    certain that each atom in a group is unique.  Atoms are created by getting
    a unique number for the group the atom is in and incorporating the group
    into the atom which is returned to the user.
