Name: H5Fget_intent
Signature:
  `herr_t H5Fget_intent(hid_t file_id, unsigned *intent`)
Purpose:
  Determines the read/write or read-only status of a file.
Description:
  Given the identifier of an open file, `file_id`, `H5Fget_intent` retrieves the “intended access mode” flag passed with `H5Fopen` when the file was opened.

  The value of the flag is returned in `intent`. Valid values are as follows:

  `H5F_ACC_RDWR` | File was opened with read/write access.
  `H5F_ACC_RDONLY` | File was opened with read-only access.

  The function will not return an error if `intent` is `NULL`; it will simply do nothing.

Parameters:

  `hid_t file_id` | IN: File identifier for a currently-open HDF5 file.
  `unsigned *intent` | OUT: Intended access mode flag as originally passed with `H5Fopen`.

Returns:
  Returns a non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
Fortran90 Interface:
