<H2>Description</h2>
You can select independent points to read from or write to in a 
dataspace by use of the <CODE>H5Sselect_elements</CODE> / 
<CODE>h5sselect_elements_f</CODE> function. 
<P>
The <CODE>H5Scopy</CODE> / <CODE>h5scopy_f</CODE> function allows 
you to make an exact copy of a dataspace.
This can reduce the number of function calls needed when
selecting a dataspace.
<P>
<H2> Programming Example</H2>

<A NAME="desc">
<H3><U>Description</U></H3>      
This example shows how to use <CODE>H5Sselect_elements</CODE> / 
<CODE>h5sselect_elements_f</CODE> 
to select individual points in a dataset and how to use 
<CODE>H5Scopy</CODE> / <CODE>h5scopy_f</CODE> 
to make a copy of a dataspace.

</pre>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>The <I>space_id</I> parameter is the dataspace identifier.
<P>
<LI>The <I>operator</I> parameter can be set to one of the following values: 
<dir><DL>
    <dt><CODE>H5S_SELECT_SET</CODE> (<CODE>H5S_SELECT_SET_F</CODE> in FORTRAN)
    <dd>Replace the existing selection with the parameters from this call. 
        Overlapping blocks are not supported with this operator. 
    <dt><CODE>H5S_SELECT_OR</CODE> (<CODE>H5S_SELECT_OR_F</CODE> in FORTRAN)
    <dd>Add the new selection to the existing selection. 
</DL></dir>
<P>
<LI>The <I>coord</I> array is a two-dimensional array of size 
<code><em>NUMP</em> x <em>RANK</em></code> in C 
(<code><em>RANK</em> x <em>NUMP</em></code> in FORTRAN)
where <code><em>NUMP</em></code> is the number of selected points 
and <code><em>RANK</em></code> is the rank of the dataset.
Note that these coordinates are 0-based in C and 1-based in FORTRAN.
<p>
    Consider the non-zero elements of the following array:
    <pre>
            0  59   0  53
            0   0   0   0
            0   0   1   0    </pre>
    In C, the <em>coord</em> array selecting these points would be as follows:
    <pre>
            0   1
            0   3
            2   2            </pre>
    While in FORTRAN, the <em>coord</em> array would be as follows:
    <pre>
            1   1   3
            2   4   3        </pre>
<P>
<LI>In C, this function returns a non-negative value if successful and 
a negative value otherwise.  In FORTRAN, the value returned in <I>hdferr</I>
indicates whether it was successful (0) or not (-1).
