     *
     * Test Description:
     *
     * This test will build an HDF5 file with several objects in a varying
     * hierarchical layout. It will then attempt to flush the objects
     * in the file one by one, individually, using the four H5*flush
     * routines (D,G,T, and O). After each call to either create or flush an
     * object, a series of verifications will occur on each object in the file.
     *
     * Each verification consists of spawning off a new process and determining
     * if the object can be opened and its information retrieved in said
     * alternate process. It reports the results, which are compared to an
     * expected value (either that the object can be found on disk, or that it
     * cannot).
     *
     * Note that to spawn a verification, this program sends a signal (by creating
     * a file on disk) to the test script controlling it, indicating how to
     * run the verification.
     *
     * Implementation is funky, but basically, an example:
     *
     * Step 1. Dataset is created.
     * Step 2. Verify that dataset can't be opened by separate process, as
     *         it should not have been flushed to disk yet.
     * Step 3. Group is created.
     * Step 4. Verify that group can't be opened by separate process.
     * Step 5. H5Gflush is called on the group.
     * Step 6. Verify that group CAN be opened, but dataset still has
     *         yet to hit disk, and CANNOT be opened. Success! Only the group
     *         was flushed.

     * Test Description:
     *
     * This test will build an HDF5 file with several objects in a varying
     * hierarchical layout. It will then flush the entire file to disk. Then,
     * an attribute will be added to each object in the file.
     *
     * One by one, this process will flush each object to disk, individually.
     * It will also be coordinating with another process, which will open
     * the object before it is flushed by this process, and then refresh the
     * object after it's been flushed, comparing the before and after object
     * information to ensure that they are as expected. (i.e., most notably,
     * that an attribute has been added, and is only visible after a
     * successful call to a H5*refresh function).
     *
     * As with the flush case, the implementation is a bit tricky as it's
     * dealing with signals going back and forth between the two processes
     * to ensure the timing is correct, but basically, an example:
     *
     * Step 1. Dataset is created.
     * Step 2. Dataset is flushed.
     * Step 3. Attribute on Dataset is created.
     * Step 4. Another process opens the dataset and verifies that it does
     *         not see an attribute (as the attribute hasn't been flushed yet).
     * Step 5. This process flushes the dataset again (with Attribute attached).
     * Step 6. The other process calls H5Drefresh, which should evict/reload
     *         the object's metadata, and thus pick up the attribute that's
     *         attached to it. Most other before/after object information is
     *         compared for sanity as well.
     * Step 7. Rinse and Repeat for each object in the file.
     *
