+ * <em>Working with region references, hyperslab selections, 
+ * and bit-fields (H5LR, H5LT)</em>
+ *
+ * The following reference manual entries describe high-level HDF5 C and Fortran APIs 
+ * for working with region references, hyperslab selections, and bit-fields. 
+ * These functions were created as part of a project supporting 
+ * NPP/NPOESS Data Production and Exploitation (
+ * <a href="https://support.hdfgroup.org/projects/jpss/documentation">
+ * project </a>, 
+ * <a href="https://gamma.hdfgroup.org/ftp/pub/outgoing/NPOESS/source">
+ * software </a>). 
+ * While they were written to facilitate access to NPP, NPOESS, and JPSS 
+ * data in the HDF5 format, these functions may be useful to anyone working 
+ * with region references, hyperslab selections, or bit-fields.
+ *
+ * Note that these functions are not part of the standard HDF5 distribution; 
+ * the 
+ * <a href="https://gamma.hdfgroup.org/ftp/pub/outgoing/NPOESS/source">
+ * software </a> 
+ * must be separately downloaded and installed.

+ * A comprehensive guide to this library, 
+ * <a href="https://support.hdfgroup.org/projects/jpss/documentation/HL/UG/NPOESS_HL-UG.pdf">

+ *
+ * \details H5LRcreate_region_references() creates a list of region references

+ *          corner coordinates of the corresponding hyperslabs.
+ *
+ *          \p path parameter is an array of pointers to strings.
+ *

+ *

+ *          starting point following by the coordinates of the ending point of 
+ *          the hyperslab, repeated \p num_elem times for each hyperslab. 
+ *          For example, creating two region references to two hyperslabs, 
+ *          one with a rectangular hyperslab region starting at element (2,2) 
+ *          to element (5,4) and the second rectangular region starting at 
+ *          element (7,7) to element (9,10), results in \p block_coord 
+ *          being {2,2,5,4, 7,7,9,10}.
+ *
+ *          The rank of the hyperslab will be the same as the rank of the

+ *          the rank for each dataset and will use those values to interpret

+ * \details H5LRget_region_info() queries information about the data 
+ *          pointed by a region reference \p ref. It returns one of the 
+ *          absolute paths to a dataset, length of the path, dataset’s rank 
+ *          and datatype, description of the referenced region and type of 
+ *          the referenced region. Any output argument can be NULL if that 
+ *          argument does not need to be returned.
+ *
+ *          The parameter \p obj_id is an identifier for any object in the 
+ *          HDF5 file containing the referenced object. For example, it can 
+ *          be an identifier of a dataset the region reference belongs to 
+ *          or an identifier of an HDF5 file the dataset with region references 
+ *          is stored in.
+ *
+ *          The parameter \p ref is a region reference to query.
+ *
+ *          The parameter \p path is a pointer to application allocated
+ *          buffer of size \p len+1 to return an absolute path to a dataset
+ *          the region reference points to.
+ *
+ *          The parameter \p len is a length of absolute path string plus 
+ *          the \0 string terminator. If path parameter is NULL, actual 
+ *          length of the path (+1 for \0 string terminator) is returned to 
+ *          application and can be used to allocate buffer path of an 
+ *          appropriate length \p len.
+ *
+ *          The parameter \p sel_type describes the type of the selected
+ *          region. Possible values can be #H5S_SEL_POINTS for point 
+ *          selection and #H5S_SEL_HYPERSLABS for hyperslab selection.
+ *
+ *          The parameter \p numelem describes how many elements will be 
+ *          placed in the buffer \p buf. The number should be interpreted 
+ *          using the value of \p sel_type.
+ *
+ *          If value of \p sel_type is #H5S_SEL_HYPERSLABS, the parameter 
+ *          \p buf contains \p numelem blocks of the coordinates for each 
+ *          simple hyperslab of the referenced region. Each block has 
+ *          length \c 2*\p rank and is organized as follows: <"start" coordinate>, 
+ *          immediately followed by <"opposite" corner coordinate>. 
+ *          The total size of the buffer to hold the description of the 
+ *          region will be \c 2*\p rank*\p numelem. If region reference 
+ *          points to a contiguous sub-array, then the value of \p numelem 
+ *          is 1 and the block contains coordinates of the upper left and 
+ *          lower right corners of the sub-array (or simple hyperslab).
+ *
+ *          If value of \p sel_type is #H5S_SEL_POINTS, the parameter \p buf 
+ *          contains \p numelem blocks of the coordinates for each selected 
+ *          point of the referenced region. Each block has length \p rank 
+ *          and contains coordinates of the element. The total size of the 
+ *          buffer to hold the description of the region will be 
+ *          \p rank* \p numelem.
