 * Purpose:	This is a "combination" MPI-2 and posix I/O driver.
 *              It uses MPI for coordinating the actions of several processes
 *              and posix I/O calls to do the actual I/O to the disk.
 *
 *              This driver was derived from the H5FDmpio.c driver and may
 *              share bugs/quirks/etc.
 *
 * Limitations:
 *              There is no "collective" I/O mode with this driver.
 *
 *              This will almost certainly _not_ work correctly for files
 *              accessed on distributed parallel systems with the file located
 *              on a non-parallel filesystem.
