[hdf-forum] provenance

Is there a unique identifier internally within an HDF file when it is  
created?

Something that would distinguish it from another HDF file created two  
seconds later, and cannot be disabled or modified.
Do not want to use the operating system/file system creation date or  
parameters in fstat, prefer a HDF api.
