+<H2>Selecting a Portion of a Dataspace</H2>
+Hyperslabs are portions of datasets. A hyperslab selection can be a logically contiguous collection of points in a dataspace, or it
+can be a regular pattern of points or blocks in a dataspace.
+You can select a hyperslab to write to/read from with the function
+H5Sselect_hyperslab.
+<P>
+<H2> Programming Example</H2>

+<H3><U>Description</U></H3>
+This example creates a 5 x 6 integer array in a
+file called sds.h5. It selects a 3 x 4 hyperslab from the dataset,
+as follows (Dimension 0 is offset by 1 and Dimension 1 is offset by 2):
