 * Function:    H5F_open
 *
 * Purpose:    Opens (or creates) a file.  This function understands the
 *        following flags which are similar in nature to the Posix
 *        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.
 *
 * The following two tables show results of file opens for single and concurrent access:
 *

 *              headers then the close is pended by moving the file to the
 *              H5I_FILE_CLOSING ID group (the f->closing contains the ID
 *              assigned to file).
