 * Created:     H5C.c

 *              June 1 2004

 *              John Mainzer

 *

 * Purpose:     Functions in this file implement a generic cache for

 *              things which exist on disk, and which may be

 *      unambiguously referenced by their disk addresses.

 *

 *              The code in this module was initially written in

 *      support of a complete re-write of the metadata cache

 *      in H5AC.c  However, other uses for the cache code

 *      suggested themselves, and thus this file was created

 *      in an attempt to support re-use.

 *

 *      For a detailed overview of the cache, please see the

 *      header comment for H5C_t in H5Cpkg.h.
