 * Created:	H5G.c
 *		Jul 18 1997
 *		Robb Matzke <matzke@llnl.gov>
 *
 * Purpose:	Symbol table functions.	 The functions that begin with
 *		`H5G_stab_' don't understand the naming system; they operate
 * 		on a single symbol table at a time.
 *
 *		The functions that begin with `H5G_node_' operate on the leaf
 *		nodes of a symbol table B-tree.  They should be defined in
 *		the H5Gnode.c file.
 *
 *		The remaining functions know how to traverse the group
 *		directed graph.
 *
 * Names:	Object names are a slash-separated list of components.  If
 *		the name begins with a slash then it's absolute, otherwise
 *		it's relative ("/foo/bar" is absolute while "foo/bar" is
 *		relative).  Multiple consecutive slashes are treated as
 *		single slashes and trailing slashes are ignored.  The special
 *		case `/' is the root group.  Every file has a root group.
 *
 *		API functions that look up names take a location ID and a
 *		name.  The location ID can be a file ID or a group ID and the
 *		name can be relative or absolute.
 *

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:	H5G_visit
 *
 * Purpose:	Recursively visit all the links in a group and all
 *              the groups that are linked to from that group.  Links within
 *              each group are visited according to the order within the
 *              specified index (unless the specified index does not exist for
 *              a particular group, then the "name" index is used).
 *
 *              NOTE: Each _link_ reachable from the initial group will only be
 *              visited once.  However, because an object may be reached from
 *              more than one link, the visitation may call the application's
 *              callback with more than one link that points to a particular
 *              _object_.
 *
 * Return:	Success:	The return value of the first operator that
 *				returns non-zero, or zero if all members were
 *				processed with no operator returning non-zero.
 *
 *		Failure:	Negative if something goes wrong within the
 *				library, or the negative value returned by one
 *				of the operators.
 *
