/**
 * \ingroup H5VLDEV
 * \brief Registers a new VOL connector
 *
 * \param[in] cls A pointer to the plugin structure to register
 * \vipl_id
 * \return \hid_t{VOL connector}
 *
 * \details H5VLregister_connector() registers a new VOL connector as a member
 *          of the virtual object layer class. This VOL connector identifier is
 *          good until the library is closed or the connector is unregistered.
 *
 *          \p vipl_id is either #H5P_DEFAULT or the identifier of a VOL
 *          initialization property list of class #H5P_VOL_INITIALIZE created
 *          with H5Pcreate(). When created, this property list contains no
 *          library properties. If a VOL connector author decides that
 *          initialization-specific data are needed, they can be added to the
 *          empty list and retrieved by the connector in the VOL connector's
 *          initialize callback. Use of the VOL initialization property list is
 *          uncommon, as most VOL-specific properties are added to the file
 *          access property list via the connector's API calls which set the
 *          VOL connector for the file open/create. For more information, see
 *          the \ref_vol_doc.
 *
 *          H5VL_class_t is defined in H5VLconnector.h in the source code. It
 *          contains class information for each VOL connector:
 *          \snippet this H5VL_class_t_snip
