    coordinates are not checked for.  The selection operator, OP, determines
    how the new selection is to be combined with the existing selection for
    the dataspace.

 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 DESCRIPTION
    This function selects array elements to be included in the selection for
    the dataspace.  The COORD array is a 2-D array of size <dataspace rank>
    by NUM_ELEM (ie. a list of coordinates in the dataspace).  The order of
    the element coordinates in the COORD array specifies the order that the
    array elements are iterated through when I/O is performed.  Duplicate
    coordinates are not checked for.  The selection operator, OP, determines
    how the new selection is to be combined with the existing selection for
    the dataspace.  Currently, only H5S_SELECT_SET is supported, which replaces
    the existing selection with the one defined in this call.  When operators
    other than H5S_SELECT_SET are used to combine a new selection with an
    existing selection, the selection ordering is reset to 'C' array ordering.
