/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:    H5Ocopy
 *
 * Purpose:     Copy an object (group or dataset) to destination location
 *              within a file or cross files. PLIST_ID is a property list
 *              which is used to pass user options and properties to the
 *              copy. The name, dst_name, must not already be taken by some
 *              other object in the destination group.
 *
 *              H5Ocopy() will fail if the name of the destination object
 *                  exists in the destination group.  For example,
 *                  H5Ocopy(fid_src, "/dset", fid_dst, "/dset", ...)
 *                  will fail if "/dset" exists in the destination file
 *
 *              OPTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED.
 *                  H5O_COPY_SHALLOW_HIERARCHY_FLAG
 *                      If this flag is specified, only immediate members of
 *                      the group are copied. Otherwise (default), it will
 *                      recursively copy all objects below the group
 *                  H5O_COPY_EXPAND_SOFT_LINK_FLAG
 *                      If this flag is specified, it will copy the objects
 *                      pointed by the soft links. Otherwise (default), it
 *                      will copy the soft link as they are
 *                  H5O_COPY_WITHOUT_ATTR_FLAG
 *                      If this flag is specified, it will copy object without
 *                      copying attributes. Otherwise (default), it will
 *                      copy object along with all its attributes
 *                  H5O_COPY_EXPAND_REFERENCE_FLAG
 *                      1) Copy object between two different files:
 *                          When this flag is specified, it will copy objects that
 *                          are pointed by the references and update the values of
 *                          references in the destination file.  Otherwise (default)
 *                          the values of references in the destination will set to
 *                          zero
 *                          The current implementation does not handle references
 *                          inside of other datatype structure. For example, if
 *                          a member of compound datatype is reference, H5Ocopy()
 *                          will copy that field as it is. It will not set the
 *                          value to zero as default is used nor copy the object
 *                          pointed by that field the flag is set
 *                      2) Copy object within the same file:
 *                          This flag does not have any effect to the H5Ocopy().
 *                          Datasets or attributes of references are copied as they
 *                          are, i.e. values of references of the destination object
 *                          are the same as the values of the source object
 *
 *              OPTIONS THAT MAY APPLY TO COPY IN THE FUTURE.
 *                  H5O_COPY_EXPAND_EXT_LINK_FLAG
 *                      If this flag is specified, it will expand the external links
 *                      into new objects, Otherwise (default), it will keep external
 *                      links as they are (default)
 *
 *              PROPERTIES THAT MAY APPLY TO COPY IN FUTURE
 *                  Change data layout such as chunk size
 *                  Add filter such as data compression.
 *                  Add an attribute to the copied object(s) that say the  date/time
 *                      for the copy or other information about the source file.
 *
 *              The intermediate group creation property should be passed in
 *              using the lcpl instead of the ocpypl.
 *
 * Usage:      H5Ocopy(src_loc_id, src_name, dst_loc_id, dst_name, ocpypl_id, lcpl_id)
 *             hid_t src_loc_id         IN: Source file or group identifier.
 *             const char *src_name     IN: Name of the source object to be copied
 *             hid_t dst_loc_id         IN: Destination file or group identifier
 *             const char *dst_name     IN: Name of the destination object
 *             hid_t ocpypl_id          IN: Properties which apply to the copy
 *             hid_t lcpl_id            IN: Properties which apply to the new hard link
 *
 *
 * Return:      Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
