+ NAME
+    H5S_point_select_deserialize
+ PURPOSE
+    Deserialize the current selection from a user-provided buffer.
+ USAGE
+    herr_t H5S_point_select_deserialize(space, buf)
+        H5S_t *space;           IN/OUT: Dataspace pointer to place selection into
+        uint8 *buf;             IN: Buffer to retrieve serialized selection from
+ RETURNS
+    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
+ DESCRIPTION
+    Deserializes the current selection into a buffer.  (Primarily for retrieving
+    from disk).
