 * Description:
 *      This function interates over the object headers of an object
 *  specified with 'ent' of type 'type_id'.  For each object header of the
 *  object, the 'op_data' and some additional information (specified below) are
 *  passed to the 'op' function.
 *      The operation receives a pointer to the object header message for the
 *  object being iterated over ('mesg'), and the pointer to the operator data
 *  passed in to H5O_msg_iterate ('op_data').  The return values from an operator
 *  are:
 *      A. Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all
 *          object headers of that type have been processed.
 *      B. Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive
 *          value, indicating short-circuit success.
 *      C. Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value,
 *          indicating failure.
