/* This program demonstrates how to translate an external link created on
 * a Windows machine into a format that a *nix machine can read.
 * This is done by registering a new traversal function for external links.
 *
 * This example is designed to be run on Unix and will create an external
 * link with a Windows-style path.  Using the traversal function below,
 * the example then successfully follows the external link.
 *
 * The external link will create a  file called "u2w/u2w_target.h5".
 * The example will fail if the directory u2w does not exist.

/* "Windows to Unix" traversal function for external links
 *
 * Translates a filename stored in Unix format to Windows format by replacing
 * forward slashes with backslashes.
 * Makes no attempt to handle Windows drive names (e.g., "C:\"), spaces within
 * file names, quotes, etc.  These are left as an exercise for the user. :)
 * Note that this may not be necessary on your system; many Windows systems can
 * understand Unix paths.
