 DESCRIPTION
    Iterates over the selected elements in a memory buffer, calling the user's
    callback function for each element.  The selection in the dataspace is
    modified so that any elements already iterated over are removed from the
    selection if the iteration is interrupted (by the H5D_operator_t function
    returning non-zero) in the "middle" of the iteration and may be re-started
    by the user where it left off.

    NOTE: Until "subtracting" elements from a selection is implemented,
        the selection is not modified.

 NAME
    H5S_select_fill
 PURPOSE
    Fill a selection in memory with a value
 USAGE
    herr_t H5S_select_fill(fill,fill_size,space,buf)
        const void *fill;       IN: Pointer to fill value to use
        size_t fill_size;       IN: Size of elements in memory buffer & size of
                                    fill value
        H5S_t *space;           IN: Dataspace describing memory buffer &
                                    containing selection to use.
        void *buf;              IN/OUT: Memory buffer to fill selection in
 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
    Use the selection in the dataspace to fill elements in a memory buffer.
 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
    The memory buffer elements are assumed to have the same datatype as the
    fill value being placed into them.
