 *
 * 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_namei
 *
 * Purpose:	Translates a name to a symbol table entry.
 *
 *		If the specified name can be fully resolved, then this
 *		function returns the symbol table entry for the named object
 *		through the OBJ_ENT argument. The symbol table entry for the
 *		group containing the named object is returned through the
 *		GRP_ENT argument if it is non-null.  However, if the name
 *		refers to the root object then the GRP_ENT will be
 *		initialized with an undefined object header address.  The
 *		REST argument, if present, will point to the null terminator
 *		of NAME.
 *
 *		If the specified name cannot be fully resolved, then OBJ_ENT
 *		is initialized with the undefined object header address. The
 *		REST argument will point into the NAME argument to the start
 *		of the component that could not be located.  The GRP_ENT will
 *		contain the entry for the symbol table that was being
 *		searched at the time of the failure and will have an
 *		undefined object header address if the search failed at the
 *		root object. For instance, if NAME is `/foo/bar/baz' and the
 *		root directory exists and contains an entry for `foo', and
 *		foo is a group that contains an entry for bar, but bar is not
 *		a group, then the results will be that REST points to `baz',
 *		OBJ_ENT has an undefined object header address, and GRP_ENT
 *		is the symbol table entry for `bar' in `/foo'.
 *
 *		Every file has a root group whose name is `/'.  Components of
 *		a name are separated from one another by one or more slashes
 *		(/).  Slashes at the end of a name are ignored.  If the name
 *		begins with a slash then the search begins at the root group
 *		of the file containing LOC_ENT. Otherwise it begins at
 *		LOC_ENT.  The component `.' is a no-op, but `..' is not
 *		understood by this function (unless it appears as an entry in
 *		the symbol table).
 *
 *		Symbolic links are followed automatically, but if TARGET
 *		includes the H5G_TARGET_SLINK bit and the last component of
 *		the name is a symbolic link then that link is not followed.
 *		The *NLINKS value is decremented each time a link is followed
 *		and link traversal fails if the value would become negative.
 *		If NLINKS is the null pointer then a default value is used.
 *
 *		Mounted files are handled by calling H5F_mountpoint() after
 *		each step of the translation.  If the input argument to that
 *		function is a mount point then the argument shall be replaced
 *		with information about the root group of the mounted file.
 *		But if TARGET includes the H5G_TARGET_MOUNT bit and the last
 *		component of the name is a mount point then H5F_mountpoint()
 *		is not called and information about the mount point itself is
 *		returned.
 *		
 * Errors:
 *
 * Return:	Success:	Non-negative if name can be fully resolved.
 *				See above for values of REST, GRP_ENT, and
 *				OBJ_ENT.  NLINKS has been decremented for
 *				each symbolic link that was followed.
 *
 *		Failure:	Negative if the name could not be fully
 *				resolved. See above for values of REST,
 *				GRP_ENT, and OBJ_ENT.
