 * Function:	H5F_open
 *
 * Purpose:	Opens (or creates) a file.  This function understands the
 *		following flags which are similar in nature to the Posix
 *		open(2) flags.
 *
 *		H5F_ACC_RDWR:	Open with read/write access. If the file is
 *				currently open for read-only access then it
 *				will be reopened. Absence of this flag
 *				implies read-only access.
 *
 *		H5F_ACC_CREAT:	Create a new file if it doesn't exist yet.
 *				The permissions are 0666 bit-wise AND with
 *				the current umask.  H5F_ACC_WRITE must also
 *				be specified.
 *
 *		H5F_ACC_EXCL:	This flag causes H5F_open() to fail if the
 *				file already exists.
 *
 *		H5F_ACC_TRUNC:	The file is truncated and a new HDF5 superblock
 *				is written.  This operation will fail if the
 *				file is already open.
 *
 *		Unlinking the file name from the group directed graph while
 *		the file is opened causes the file to continue to exist but
 *		one will not be able to upgrade the file from read-only
 *		access to read-write access by reopening it. Disk resources
 *		for the file are released when all handles to the file are
 *		closed. NOTE: This paragraph probably only applies to Unix;
 *		deleting the file name in other OS's has undefined results.
 *
 *		The CREATE_PARMS argument is optional.	A null pointer will
 *		cause the default file creation parameters to be used.
 *
 *		The ACCESS_PARMS argument is optional.  A null pointer will
 *		cause the default file access parameters to be used.
 *
 * Return:	Success:	A new file pointer.
 *
 *		Failure:	NULL
 *
 * Programmer:	Robb Matzke
 *		Tuesday, September 23, 1997
 *
 * Modifications:
 *		Albert Cheng, 1998-02-05
 *		Added the access_parms argument to pass down access template
 *		information.
 *
 * 		Robb Matzke, 1998-02-18
 *		The H5F_access_t changed to allow more generality.  The low
 *		level driver is part of the file access template so the TYPE
 *		argument has been removed.
 *
 * 		Robb Matzke, 1999-08-02
 *		Rewritten to use the virtual file layer.
 *
 * 		Robb Matzke, 1999-08-16
 *		Added decoding of file driver information block, which uses a
 *		formerly reserved address slot in the boot block in order to
 *		be compatible with previous versions of the file format.
 *
 * 		Robb Matzke, 1999-08-20
 *		Optimizations for opening a file. If the driver can't

 *		we open the file in one step.  Otherwise if the first attempt
 *		to open the file fails then we skip the second attempt if the
