+    <dd><em>herr_t </em><code>H5Dfill</code>(
+        <em>const void *</em><code>fill</code>,
+        <em>hid_t </em><code>fill_type_id</code>,

+<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
+    <dd>Fills dataspace elements with a fill value in a memory buffer.
+<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
+    <dd><code>H5Dfill</code> explicitly fills a dataspace selection 
+        in memory with the fill value specified in <code>fill</code>.
+        <p>
+        If <code>fill</code> is <code>NULL</code>, 
+        a fill value of <code>0</code> (zero) is used.
+        <p>
+        Note that if the fill value datatype differs 
+        from the memory buffer datatype, the fill value 
+        will be converted to the memory buffer datatype 
+        before filling the selection.
+<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
+    <dl>
+        <dt><em>const void *</em><code>fill</code>
+            <dd>IN: Pointer to the fill value to be used.

+            <dd>IN:  Fill value datatype identifier.
+        <dt><em>void *</em><code>buf</code>
+            <dd>IN/OUT: Pointer to the memory buffer containing the 
+                selection to be filled.
+        <dt><em>hid_t </em><code>buf_type_id</code>
+            <dd>IN: Datatype of dataspace elements to be filled.

+                    containing the selection to be filled.
