        Puts a list of the hyperslab blocks into the user's buffer.  The blocks
    start with the 'startblock'th block in the list of blocks and put
    'numblocks' number of blocks into the user's buffer (or until the end of
    the list of blocks, whichever happen first)
        The block coordinates have the same dimensionality (rank) as the
    dataspace they are located within.  The list of blocks is formatted as
    follows: <"start" coordinate> immediately followed by <"opposite" corner
    coordinate>, followed by the next "start" and "opposite" coordinate, etc.
    until all the block information requested has been put into the user's
    buffer.
        No guarantee of any order of the blocks is implied.

 NAME
    H5Sselect_hyperslab

    Specify a hyperslab to combine with the current hyperslab selection

 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 DESCRIPTION
    Combines a hyperslab selection with the current selection for a dataspace.
    If the current selection is not a hyperslab, it is freed and the hyperslab
    parameters passed in are combined with the H5S_SEL_ALL hyperslab (ie. a
    selection composing the entire current extent).  If STRIDE or BLOCK is
    NULL, they are assumed to be set to all '1'.

    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
    Use the selection in the dataspace to generate a list of byte offsets and
    lengths for the region(s) selected.  Start/Restart from the position in the
    ITER parameter.  The number of sequences generated is limited by the MAXSEQ
    parameter and the number of sequences actually generated is stored in the
    NSEQ parameter.

 DESCRIPTION
    Use the selection in the dataspace to generate a list of byte offsets and
    lengths for the region(s) selected.  Start/Restart from the position in the
    ITER parameter.  The number of sequences generated is limited by the MAXSEQ
    parameter and the number of sequences actually generated is stored in the
    NSEQ parameter.

 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
    Use the selection in the dataspace to generate a list of byte offsets and
    lengths for the region(s) selected.  Start/Restart from the position in the
    ITER parameter.  The number of sequences generated is limited by the MAXSEQ
    parameter and the number of sequences actually generated is stored in the
    NSEQ parameter.
