Updates an object link

ss_pers_update is a function defined in sspers.c.

Synopsis:

herr_t ss_pers_update(ss_pers_t *pers)

Description: This function makes information in the object link as current as possible. If the object has a permanent home in the table but the object index stored in the link is indirect then it is converted to a direct index. If the object is in memory then the link is moved to the `memory’ state. If the `mapidx’ value stored in the object is different than the object index in the link then the object index is updated in the link.

This function is essentially a weaker version of ss_pers_deref.

Return Value: Returns non-negative on success; negative on failure.

Parallel Notes: Independent
