+ * \param[in] cur_dims The current dimension sizes of the dataset

+ * \details H5LDget_dset_dims() retrieves selected data of the dataset
+ * \p did and stores the data in the parameter \p buf.
+ * The difference between the parameters \p prev_dims and
+ * \p cur_dims indicates the dimension sizes of the data to be
+ * selected from the dataset. Note that \p cur_dims must have
+ * at least one dimension whose size is greater than the
+ * corresponding dimension in \p prev_dims. Users can
+ * determine the size of buf by multipling the datatype
+ * size of the dataset by the number of selected elements.
+ *
+ * If the parameter \p fields is NULL, this routine returns
+ * data for the selected elements of the dataset. If \p fields
+ * is not NULL and the dataset has a compound datatype, \p fields
+ * is a string containing a comma-separated list of fields.
+ * Each name in \p fields specifies a field in the compound
+ * datatype, and this routine returns data of the selected fields
+ * for the dataset's selected elements. Note that ’,’ is the
+ * separator for the fields of a compound datatype while
+ * ’.’ is the separator for a nested field. Use backslash to
+ * escape characters in field names that conflict with these
+ * two separators.

+ * \par Examples:
+ *
+ * For the first example, \c DSET1 is a two-dimensional chunked dataset with atomic type defined below:
+ * \snippet H5LDget_dset_elmts.c first_declare
+ *
+ * The following coding sample illustrates the reading of
+ * data elements appended to the dataset \c DSET1:
+ * \snippet H5LDget_dset_elmts.c first_reading
+ *
+ * The output buffer will contain data elements selected from
+ * \c DSET1 as follows:
+ * \snippet H5LDget_dset_elmts.c first_output
+ *
+ * For the second example, DSET2 is a one-dimensional chunked dataset
+ * with compound type defined below:
+ * \snippet H5LDget_dset_elmts.c second_declare
+ *
+ * The following coding sample illustrates the reading of data elements
+ * appended to the dataset \c DSET2 with compound datatype.
+ * This example selects only 2 fields: the fourth field \c d and a
+ * subfield of the sixth field \c s2.c:
+ * \snippet H5LDget_dset_elmts.c second_reading
+ *
+ * The output buffer will contain data for \c d and \c s2.c
