+ Some typical usages are as follows:
+ <ul>
+ <li>If the dataset employs more than 8 bits/pixel,
+ one of <code>LSB_OPTION_MASK</code> or
+ <code>MSB_OPTION_MASK</code> is specified.
+ <li>One of the compression methods,
+ <code>EC_OPTION_MASK</code> or
+ <code>NN_OPTION_MASK</code>, is specified.
+ <li>The <code>RAW_OPTION_MASK</code> and
+ <code>ALLOW_K13_OPTION_MASK</code> are used.
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ Options are combined to create the options mask by means of
+ a logical <code>OR</code> operation. For example, the
+ option mask can be set as follows:
+ <br><br><code>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
+ options_mask = MSB_OPTION_MASK | NN_OPTION_MASK | RAW_OPTION_MASK;
+ </code>
+ <p>
+ Szip compresses data block by block, with a user-tunable block size.
+ This block size is passed in the parameter
+ <code>pixels_per_block</code> and must be even,
+ with typical values being <code>8</code>, <code>10</code>,
+ <code>16</code>, and <code>32</code>.
+ The more pixel values vary, the smaller this number should be.
+ For optimal performance, the number of pixels per scan line
+ (i.e., the size of the fastest-changing dimension in the dataspace)
+ should be an even multiple of the number of pixels per block.
+ <p>
+ <dt><strong>Notes:</strong>
+ <dd>Szip works only with datasets with 1 through 24 bits/pixel,
+ 32 pits/pixel, or 64 bits/pixel.
+ <p>
+ Szip typically requires that the user application also supply
+ the number of pixels in the object to be compressed,
+ the number of bits per pixel, and the number of pixels per scan line.
+ These values need not be independently supplied in the HDF5
+ environment as they are derived from the datatype and dataspace,
+ which are already known.
+ <dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
+ <dl>
+ <dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>plist</code>
+ <dd>IN: Dataset creation or dataset transfer property list
+ identifier.
+ <dt><em>unsigned int</em> <code>options_mask</code>
+ <dd>IN: A bit-mask conveying the desired szip options.
+ <dt><em>unsigned int</em> <code>pixels_per_block</code>
+ <dd>IN: The number of pixels or data elements in each data block.
+ </dl>
+ <dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
+ <dd>Returns a non-negative value if successful;
+ otherwise returns a negative value.
