   * For blkoffset round offset down to the nearest pxp->blksz. This

   * diff tells how far into the current block we are.

   * For blkextent round up to the number of bytes at the beginning of
   the next block, after the one that holds our current position, plus
   whatever extra (i.e. the extent) that we are about to grab.

   * The blkextent can't be more than twice the pxp->blksz. That's
   because the pxp->blksize is the sizehint, and in ncio_px_init2 the
   buffer (pointed to by pxp->bf-base) is allocated with 2 *
   *sizehintp. This is checked (unnecessarily) more than once in

   * If this is called on a newly opened file, pxp->bf_offset will be
   OFF_NONE and we'll jump to label pgin to immediately read in a

/* This function opens the data file. It is only called from nc.c,
   from nc__open_mp and nc_delete_mp.

   path - path of data file.

   ioflags - flags passed into nc_open.

   igeto - looks like this function can do an initial page get, and
   igeto is going to be the offset for that. But it appears to be
   unused

   igetsz - the size in bytes of initial page get (a.k.a. extent). Not
   ever used in the library.

   sizehintp - pointer to sizehint parameter from nc__open or
   nc__create. This is used to set pxp->blksz.

   Here's what the man page has to say:

   "The argument referenced by chunksize controls a space versus time
   tradeoff, memory allocated in the netcdf library versus number of
   system calls.

   Because of internal requirements, the value may not be set to
   exactly the value requested. The actual value chosen is returned by reference.

   Using the value NC_SIZEHINT_DEFAULT causes the library to choose a
   default. How the system choses the default depends on the
   system. On many systems, the "preferred I/O block size" is
   available from the stat() system call, struct stat member
   st_blksize. If this is available it is used. Lacking that, twice
   the system pagesize is used. Lacking a call to discover the system
   pagesize, we just set default chunksize to 8192.

   The chunksize is a property of a given open netcdf descriptor ncid,
   it is not a persistent property of the netcdf dataset."

   nciopp - pointer to pointer that will get address of newly created
   and inited ncio struct.

   igetvpp - handle to pass back pointer to data from initial page
   read, if this were ever used, which it isn't.
