/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:	H5T_path_find
 *
 * Purpose:	Finds the path which converts type SRC_ID to type DST_ID,
 *		creating a new path if necessary.  If FUNC is non-zero then
 *		it is set as the hard conversion function for that path
 *		regardless of whether the path previously existed. Changing
 *		the conversion function of a path causes statistics to be
 *		reset to zero after printing them.  The NAME is used only
 *		when creating a new path and is just for debugging.
 *
 *		If SRC and DST are both null pointers then the special no-op
 *		conversion path is used.  This path is always stored as the
 *		first path in the path table.
 *
 * Return:	Success:	Pointer to the path, valid until the path
 *				database is modified.
 *
 *		Failure:	NULL if the path does not exist and no
 *				function can be found to apply to the new
 *				path.

 *
 * Programmer:	Robb Matzke

 *		The timers are updated only if H5T debugging is enabled at
 *		runtime in addition to compile time.
 *
 *		Robb Matzke, 1999-06-16
 *		Added support for non-zero strides. If BUF_STRIDE is non-zero
 *		then convert one value at each memory location advancing
 *		BUF_STRIDE bytes each time; otherwise assume both source and
 *		destination values are packed.
 *
 *              Quincey Koziol, 1999-07-01
 *              Added dataset transfer properties, to allow custom VL
 *              datatype allocation function to be passed down to VL
 *              conversion routine.
 *
 *              Robb Matzke, 2000-05-17
 *              Added the BKG_STRIDE argument which gets passed to all the
 *              conversion functions. If BUF_STRIDE is non-zero then each
 *              data element is at a multiple of BUF_STRIDE bytes in BUF
 *              (on both input and output). If BKG_STRIDE is also set then
 *              the BKG buffer is used in such a way that temporary space
 *              for each element is aligned on a BKG_STRIDE byte boundary.
 *              If either BUF_STRIDE or BKG_STRIDE are zero then the BKG
 *              buffer will be accessed as though it were a packed array
 *              of destination datatype.
