 *		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
