+<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Screate_simple</code> creates a new simple dataspace
- and opens it for access.
+ and opens it for access, returning a dataset identifier.
<p>
<code>rank</code> is the number of dimensions used in the dataspace.
<p>
- <code>dims</code> is an array specifying the size of each dimension
- of the dataset while
- <code>maxdims</code> is an array specifying the upper limit on
- the size of each dimension.
+ <code>dims</code> is a one-dimensional array of size <code>rank</code>
+ specifying the size of each dimension of the dataset.
+ <code>maxdims</code> is an array of the same size
+ specifying the upper limit on the size of each dimension.
<code>maxdims</code> may be the null pointer, in which case the
upper limit is the same as <code>dims</code>.
<p>
- If an element of <code>maxdims</code> is
- <code>H5S_UNLIMITED</code>, (<code>-1</code>),
+ If an element of <code>maxdims</code> is <code>H5S_UNLIMITED</code>,
the maximum size of the corresponding dimension is unlimited.
Otherwise, no element of <code>maxdims</code> should be
smaller than the corresponding element of <code>dims</code>.
<p>
+ Note that any dataset with an unlimited dimension must also
+ be chunked; see
+ <a href="RM_H5P.html#Property-SetChunk"><code>H5Pset_chunk</code></a>.
+ <p>
The dataspace identifier returned from this function must be
released with <code>H5Sclose</code> or resource leaks will occur.
