  /* File Image operations
  
     A file image is a representation of an HDF5 file in a memory
     buffer. In order to perform operations on an image in a similar way
     to a  file, the application buffer is copied to a FAPL buffer, which
     in turn is copied to a VFD buffer. Buffer copying can decrease
     performance, especially when using large file images. A solution to
     this issue is to simulate the copying of the application buffer,
     when actually the same buffer is used for the FAPL and the VFD.
     This is implemented by using callbacks that simulate the standard
     functions for memory management (additional callbacks are used for
     the management of associated data structures). From the application
     standpoint, a file handle can be obtained from a file image by using
     the API routine H5LTopen_file_image(). This function takes a flag
     argument that indicates the HDF5 library how to handle the given image;
     several flag values can be combined by using the bitwise OR operator.
     Valid flag values include:
  
     H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_OPEN_RW indicates the HDF5 library to open the file
     image in read/write mode. Default is read-only mode.
  
     H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_DONT_COPY indicates the HDF5 library to not copy the
     supplied user buffer; the same buffer will be handled by the FAPL and
     the VFD driver. Default operation copies the user buffer to the FAPL and
     VFD driver.
  
     H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_DONT_RELEASE indicates the HDF5 library to not release
     the buffer handled by the FAPL and the VFD upon closing. This flag value
     is only applicable when the flag value H5LT_FILE_IMAGE_DONT_COPY is set as
     well. The application is responsible to release the image buffer.
