// There are a few comments that are common to most of the functions
// defined in this file so they are listed here.
// - getLocId is called by all functions, that call a C API, to get
//   the location id, which can be either a file id or a group id.
//   This function is pure virtual and it's up to H5File and Group
//   to call the right getId() - although, as the structure of the
//   library at this time, getId() is basically the IdComponent::getId()
// - when a failure returned by the C API, the functions will call
//   throwException, which is a pure virtual function and is implemented
//   by H5File to throw a FileIException and by Group to throw a
//   GroupIException.
