 * Function: h5tools_fopen

 *           VFD/VOL connector that this routine uses to open the file
 *           with. If 'use_specific_driver' is set to true, this routine
 *           assumes that the caller has already set a specific VFD or VOL
 *           connector on the given FAPL and will attempt to directly use
 *           the FAPL for opening the file. We assume that the caller knows
 *           what they are doing; if the file is unable to be opened using
 *           that FAPL, this routine will return H5I_INVALID_HID.
 *
 *           However, if 'use_specific_driver' is set to false, this
 *           routine assumes that the caller HAS NOT set a specific VFD or
 *           VOL connector on the given FAPL and will instead loop through
 *           the various available VFL drivers and VOL connectors trying to
 *           open FNAME.
 *
 *           The list of available VFL drivers is as follows:
 *             - If the HDF5 library is version 1.2 or less, then we have
 *               only the SEC2 driver to try out.
 *             - If the HDF5 library is greater than version 1.2, then we
 *               have the FAMILY, SPLIT, and MULTI drivers to play with.
 *
 *           The list of available VOL connectors is as follows:
 *             - "Native" VOL connector
 *             - Pass-through VOL connector
 *
 * Return:
 *      On success, returns a file ID for the opened file. If DRIVERNAME is
 *      non-null and the native VOL connector is the terminal connector,

 *           char *name1:   link name of the first object.
 *                          Use "." or NULL if loc_id1 is the object to be compared.
 *           hid_t loc_id2: location of the second object
 *           char *name1:   link name of the first object.
 *                          Use "." or NULL if loc_id2 is the object to be compared.
 *
 * Return:   true if it is the same object
 *           false otherwise.
