 * \fapl_id
 * \param[in] comm MPI-2 communicator
 * \param[in] info MPI-2 info object
 * \returns \herr_t
 *
 * \details H5Pset_fapl_mpio() stores the user-supplied MPI IO parameters \p
 *          comm, for communicator, and \p info, for information, in the file
 *          access property list \p fapl_id. That property list can then be used
 *          to create and/or open a file.
 *
 *          H5Pset_fapl_mpio() is available only in the parallel HDF5 library
 *          and is not a collective function.
 *
 *          \p comm is the MPI communicator to be used for file open, as defined
 *          in \c MPI_File_open of MPI-2. This function makes a duplicate of the
 *          communicator, so modifications to \p comm after this function call
 *          returns have no effect on the file access property list.
 *
 *          \p info is the MPI Info object to be used for file open, as defined
 *          in MPI_File_open() of MPI-2. This function makes a duplicate copy of
 *          the Info object, so modifications to the Info object after this
 *          function call returns will have no effect on the file access
 *          property list.
 *
 *          If the file access property list already contains previously-set
 *          communicator and Info values, those values will be replaced and the
 *          old communicator and Info object will be freed.
 *
 * \note Raw dataset chunk caching is not currently supported when using this
 *       file driver in read/write mode. All calls to H5Dread() and H5Dwrite()
 *       will access the disk directly, and H5Pset_cache() and
 *       H5Pset_chunk_cache() will have no effect on performance.\n
 *       Raw dataset chunk caching is supported when this driver is used in
 *       read-only mode.
 *
 * \version 1.4.5 Handling of the MPI Communicator and Info object changed at
 *          this release. A duplicate of each of these is now stored in the property
 *          list instead of pointers to each.

 *
 * \details H5Pset_dxpl_mpio_chunk_opt() specifies whether I/O is to be
 *          performed as linked-chunk I/O or as multi-chunk I/O. This function
 *          overrides the HDF5 library's internal algorithm for determining
 *          which mechanism to use.
 *
 *          When an application uses collective I/O with chunked storage, the
 *          HDF5 library normally uses an internal algorithm to determine
 *          whether that I/O activity should be conducted as one linked-chunk
 *          I/O or as multi-chunk I/O. H5Pset_dxpl_mpio_chunk_opt() is provided
 *          so that an application can override the library's algorithm in
 *          circumstances where the library might lack the information needed to
 *          make an optimal decision.
 *
 *          H5Pset_dxpl_mpio_chunk_opt() works by setting one of the following
 *          flags in the parameter \p opt_mode:
 *          - #H5FD_MPIO_CHUNK_ONE_IO -	Do one-link chunked I/O
 *          - #H5FD_MPIO_CHUNK_MULTI_IO - Do multi-chunked I/O
 *
 *          This function works by setting a corresponding property in the
 *          dataset transfer property list \p dxpl_id.
 *
 *          The library performs I/O in the specified manner unless it
 *          determines that the low-level MPI IO package does not support the
 *          requested behavior; in such cases, the HDF5 library will internally
 *          use independent I/O.
 *
 *          Use of this function is optional.
