 *
 * Purpose: This code provides the Stream Virtual File Driver.
 *          It is very much based on the core VFD which keeps an
 *          entire HDF5 data file to be processed in main memory.
 *          In addition to that, the memory image of the file is
 *          read from/written to a socket during an open/flush operation.
 *
 * Version: $Id$
 *
 * Modifications:
 *          Thomas Radke, Thursday, October 26, 2000
 *          Added support for Windows.
 *          Catch SIGPIPE on an open socket.
