 * of the file (the current size of the underlying Unix file). The `pos'
 * value is used to eliminate file position updates when they would be a
 * no-op. Unfortunately we've found systems that use separate file position
 * indicators for reading and writing so the lseek can only be eliminated if
 * the current operation is the same as the previous operation.  When opening
 * a file the `eof' will be set to the current file size, `eoa' will be set
 * to zero, `pos' will be set to H5F_ADDR_UNDEF (as it is when an error
 * occurs), and `op' will be set to H5F_OP_UNKNOWN.
