/** @file
 * OPAL output stream facility.
 *
 * The OPAL output stream facility is used to send output from the OPAL
 * libraries to output devices.  It is meant to fully replace all
 * forms of printf() (and friends).  Output streams are opened via the
 * opal_output_open() function call, and then sent output via
 * opal_output_verbose(), OPAL_OUTPUT(), and opal_output().  Streams are
 * closed with opal_output_close().
 *
 * Streams can multiplex output to several kinds of outputs (one of
 * each):
 *
 * - the syslog (if available)
 * - standard output
 * - standard error
 * - file
 *
 * Which outputs to use are specified during opal_output_open().
 *
 * WARNING: When using "file" as an output destination, be aware that
 * the file may not exist until the session directory for the process
 * exists.  This is at least part of the way through MPI_INIT (for
 * example).  Most MCA components and internals of Open MPI won't be
 * affected by this, but some RTE / startup aspects of Open MPI will
 * not be able to write to a file for output.  See opal_output() for
 * details on what happens in these cases.
 *
 * opal_output_open() returns an integer handle that is used in
 * successive calls to OPAL_OUTPUT() and opal_output() to send output to
 * the stream.
 *
 * The default "verbose" stream is opened after invoking
 * opal_output_init() (and closed after invoking
 * opal_output_finalize()).  This stream outputs to stderr only, and
 * has a stream handle ID of 0.
 *
 * It is erroneous to have one thread close a stream and have another
 * try to write to it.  Multiple threads writing to a single stream
 * will be serialized in an unspecified order.
