 *
 *              This function opens an object using its address within the
 *              HDF5 file, similar to an HDF5 hard link. The open object
 *              is identical to an object opened with H5Oopen() and should
 *              be closed with H5Oclose() or a type-specific closing
 *              function (such as H5Gclose() ).
 *
 *              This function is very dangerous if called on an invalid
 *              address. For this reason, H5Oincr_refcount() should be
 *              used to prevent HDF5 from deleting any object that is
 *              referenced by address (e.g. by a user-defined link).
 *              H5Odecr_refcount() should be used when the object is
 *              no longer being referenced by address (e.g. when the UD link
 *              is deleted).
 *         
 *              The address of the HDF5 file on disk has no effect on
 *              H5Oopen_by_addr(), nor does the use of any unusual file
 *              drivers. The "address" is really the offset within the
 *              HDF5 file, and HDF5's file drivers will transparently
 *              map this to an address on disk for the filesystem.
