- <dd>Creates a new simple data space and opens it for access.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
- <dd><code>H5Screate_simple</code> creates a new simple data space
- and opens it for access. The <code>rank</code> is the number of
- dimensions used in the dataspace.
- The <code>dims</code> argument is the size
- of the simple dataset and the <code>maxdims</code> argument is
- the upper limit on the size of the dataset. <code>maxdims</code>
- may be the null pointer in which case the upper limit is the
- same as <code>dims</code>. If an element of <code>maxdims</code>
- is zero then the corresponding dimension is unlimited, otherwise
- no element of <code>maxdims</code> should be smaller than the
- corresponding element of <code>dims</code>. The dataspace
- identifier returned from this function should be released with
- <code>H5Sclose</code> or resource leaks will occur.

-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
- <dd><code>H5Sselect_elements</code> selects array elements to be

- is a two-dimensional array of size <em>dataspace rank</em>
- by <code>num_elements</code> (ie. a list of coordinates in
- the array). The order of the element coordinates in the
- <code>coord</code> array also specifies the order in which
- the array elements are iterated through when I/O is performed.
- Duplicate coordinate locations are not checked for.
- <P>
- The selection operator <code>op</code> determines how the
- new selection is to be combined with the previously existing
- selection for the dataspace. Currently, only the
- <code>H5S_SELECT_SET</code> operator is supported, which
- replaces the existing selection with the parameters from
- this call. When operators other than <code>H5S_SELECT_SET</code>
- are used to combine a new selection with an existing selection,

-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
- <dd>Selects a hyperslab region to add to the current selected region.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
- <dd><code>H5Sselect_hyperslab</code> selects a hyperslab region
- to add to the current selected region for the dataspace
- specified by <code>space_id</code>.
- <p>
- The <code>start</code>, <code>stride</code>, <code>count</code>,
- and <code>block</code> arrays must be the same size as the rank
- of the dataspace.
- <p>
- The selection operator <code>op</code> determines how the new
- selection is to be combined with the already existing selection
- for the dataspace.
- <p>
- Currently, only the <code>H5S_SELECT_SET</code> operator is
- supported; it replaces the existing selection with the
- parameters from this call. Overlapping blocks are not
- supported with the <code>H5S_SELECT_SET</code> operator.
-<P>
-The <code>start</code> array determines the starting coordinates
-of the hyperslab
-to select.
-<p>
-The <code>stride</code> array chooses array locations
-from the dataspace
-with each value in the <code>stride</code> array determining how
-many elements to move
-in each dimension. Setting a value in the <code>stride</code>
-array to 1 moves to
-each element in that dimension of the dataspace; setting a value of 2 in a
-location in the <code>stride</code> array moves to every other
-element in that
-dimension of the dataspace. In other words, the <code>stride</code>
-determines the
-number of elements to move from the <code>start</code> location
-in each dimension.
-Stride values of 0 are not allowed. If the <code>stride</code>
-parameter is <code>NULL</code>,
-a contiguous hyperslab is selected (as if each value in the
-<code>stride</code> array
-was set to all 1's).
-<p>
-The <code>count</code> array determines how many blocks to
-select from the dataspace, in each dimension.
-<p>
-The <code>block</code> array determines
-the size of the element block selected from the dataspace.
-If the <code>block</code>
-parameter is set to <code>NULL</code>, the block size defaults
-to a single element
-in each dimension (as if the <code>block</code> array was set to all 1's).
-<P>
-For example, in a 2-dimensional dataspace, setting
-<code>start</code> to [1,1],
-<code>stride</code> to [4,4], <code>count</code> to [3,7], and
-<code>block</code> to [2,2] selects
-21 2x2 blocks of array elements starting with location (1,1) and selecting
-blocks at locations (1,1), (5,1), (9,1), (1,5), (5,5), etc.
-<P>
-Regions selected with this function call default to C order iteration when
-I/O is performed.
-<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
- <dl>
- <dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>
- <dd>IN: Identifier of dataspace selection to modify
- <dt><em>H5S_seloper_t</em> <code>op</code>
- <dd>IN: Operation to perform on current selection.
- <dt><em>const hssize_t *</em><code>start</code>
- <dd>IN: Offset of start of hyperslab
- <dt><em>const hsize_t *</em><code>count</code>
- <dd>IN: Number of blocks included in hyperslab.
- <dt><em>const hsize_t *</em><code>stride</code>
- <dd>IN: Hyperslab stride.
- <dt><em>const hsize_t *</em><code>block</code>
- <dd>IN: Size of block in hyperslab.
- </dl>
-<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
- <dd>Returns SUCCEED (0) if successful;
- otherwise FAIL (-1).

-<dl>
-<dt><strong>Name:</strong> <a name="Dataspace-Close">H5Sclose</a>
-<dt><strong>Signature:</strong>
- <dd><em>herr_t </em><code>H5Sclose</code>(<em>hid_t </em><code>space_id</code>
- )
-<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
- <dd>Releases and terminates access to a dataspace.
-<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
- <dd><code>H5Sclose</code> releases a dataspace.
- Further access through the dataspace identifier is illegal.
- Failure to release a dataspace with this call will
- result in resource leaks.
-<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
- <dl>
- <dt><em>hid_t</em> <code>space_id</code>
- <dd>Identifier of dataspace to release.
- </dl>
-<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
- <dd>Returns SUCCEED (0) if successful;
- otherwise FAIL (-1).
