<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>
    <dd>Creates a new dataspace of a specified type.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
    <dd><code>H5Screate</code> creates a new dataspace of a particular 
        <code>type</code>.  
        The types currently supported are <code>H5S_SCALAR</code> and 
        <code>H5S_SIMPLE</code>;
        others are planned to be added later.  
<dt><strong>Parameters:</strong>
    <ul><table>
        <tr>
		  <td valign="top"><em>H5S_class_t</em>&nbsp;<code>type&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</code></td>
          <td valign="top">The type of dataspace to be created.</td></tr>
    </table></ul>
<dt><strong>Returns:</strong>
    <dd>Returns a dataspace identifier if successful; 
        otherwise returns a negative value.
