 *
 *          New files are always created in read-write mode, so the read-write

 *
 *          The return value is a file identifier for the newly-created file;
 *          this file identifier should be closed by calling H5Fclose() when
 *          it is no longer needed.
 *
 * \par Example

 *            If a file being created is already opened, by either a previous

 *            detect that the open file and the new file are the same physical
 *            file. (See H5Fopen() regarding the limitations in detecting the
 *            re-opening of an already-open file.)\n
 *            If the library detects that the file is already opened,
 *            H5Fcreate() will return a failure, regardless of the use of

 *            If the library does not detect that the file is already opened
 *            and #H5F_ACC_TRUNC is not used, H5Fcreate() will return a failure
 *            because the file already exists. Note that this is correct

 *            But if the library does not detect that the file is already

 *            cases, the open calls must use the same flags argument and the

 *            property setting (see the external link discussion below and
 *            H5Pset_fclose_degree()).\n
 *            In some cases, such as files on a local Unix file system, the
 *            HDF5 library can detect that a file is multiply opened and will

 *            But in many other cases, such as parallel file systems or

 *            multiple opens of the same physical file. In such cases, HDF5
 *            will treat the file identifiers as though they are accessing
 *            different files and will be unable to maintain coherent access.
 *            Errors are likely to result in these cases. While unlikely, the
 *            HDF5 library may not be able to detect, and thus report,

 * \returns \herr_t
 *
 * \par Motivation
 * H5Fset_mpi_atomicity() is applicable only in parallel environments using MPI I/O.

 * that a set of operations will behave as though they were performed in a serial
 * order consistent with the program order.
 *
 * \details
 * \parblock
 * H5Fset_mpi_atomicity() sets MPI consistency semantics for data access to the file,
 * \p file_id.
 *
 * If \p flag is set to \c 1, all file access operations will appear atomic, guaranteeing
 * sequential consistency. If \p flag is set to \c 0, enforcement of atomic file access
 * will be turned off.
 *
 * H5Fset_mpi_atomicity() is a collective function and all participating processes must
 * pass the same values for \p file_id and \p flag.
 *
 * This function is available only when the HDF5 library is configured with parallel support
 * (\Code{--enable-parallel}). It is useful only when used with the #H5FD_MPIO driver
 * (see H5Pset_fapl_mpio()).
 * \endparblock
 *
 * \attention
 * \parblock
 * H5Fset_mpi_atomicity() calls \Code{MPI_File_set_atomicity} underneath and is not supported
 * if the execution platform does not support \Code{MPI_File_set_atomicity}. When it is
 * supported and used, the performance of data access operations may drop significantly.
 *
 * In certain scenarios, even when \Code{MPI_File_set_atomicity} is supported, setting
 * atomicity with H5Fset_mpi_atomicity() and \p flag set to 1 does not always yield
 * strictly atomic updates. For example, some H5Dwrite() calls translate to multiple
 * \Code{MPI_File_write_at} calls. This happens in all cases where the high-level file
 * access routine translates to multiple lower level file access routines.
 * The following scenarios will raise this issue:
 * \li Non-contiguous file access using independent I/O
 * \li Partial collective I/O using chunked access
 * \li Collective I/O using filters or when data conversion is required
 *
 * This issue arises because MPI atomicity is a matter of MPI file access operations rather
 * than HDF5 access operations. But the user is normally seeking atomicity at the HDF5 level.
 * To accomplish this, the application must set a barrier after a write, H5Dwrite(), but before
 * the next read, H5Dread(), in addition to calling H5Fset_mpi_atomicity().The barrier will
 * guarantee that all underlying write operations execute atomically before the read
 * operations starts. This ensures additional ordering semantics and will normally produce
