 *              Given a filename and path packed into the link udata,

 *
 * Return:	ID of the opened object on success/Negative on failure
 *
 * Programmer:	James Laird
 *              Monday, July 10, 2006
 * Modifications:
 *		Vailin Choi, April 2, 2008
 *		Add handling to search for the target file
 *		See description in RM: H5Lcreate_external
 *
 *		Vailin Choi; Sept. 12th, 2008; bug #1247
 *		Retrieve the file access property list identifer that is set
 *		for link access property via H5Pget_elink_fapl().
 *		If the return value is H5P_DEFAULT, the parent's file access
 *		property is used to H5F_open() the target file;
 *		Otherwise, the file access property retrieved from H5Pget_elink_fapl()
 *		is used to H5F_open() the target file.
 *
 *              Vailin Choi; Nov 2010
 *              Free memory pointed to by tmp_env_prefix for HDF5_EXT_PREFIX case.

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function: H5Lunpack_elink_val
 *
 * Purpose: Given a buffer holding the "link value" from an external link,
 *              gets pointers to the information within the link value buffer.
 *
 *              External link link values contain some flags and
 *              two NULL-terminated strings, one after the other.
 *
 *              The FLAGS value will be filled in and FILENAME and
 *              OBJ_PATH will be set to pointers within ext_linkval (unless
 *              any of these values is NULL).
 *
 *              Using this function on strings that aren't external link
 *              udata buffers can result in segmentation faults.
 *
 * Return: Non-negative on success/ Negative on failure
 *
 * Programmer:  James Laird
