! NOTES
!  (1) The maximum rank of an array allowed in Fortran is 7, therefore
!  we only provide an interface for arrays up to and including rank 7.
!
!  (2) Unfortunately we are using a generic interface and one of the factors
!  used in determining the proper routine to select is that of the array
!  rank being passed. Therefore, we can not create just one subroutine for
!  each array type (integer, real, etc...) and use a
!  rank 1 array of assumed size to handle multiple ranks, i.e.
!  (i.e. integer, dimension(*) :: ... )
!  (i.e. real   , dimension(*) :: ... ) etc...
!
!  (3) Could not place the USE, INTRINSIC :: ISO_C_BINDING in the module header because it may
!  conflict with the USE, INTRINSIC :: ISO_C_BINDING included in the user's program. Moved
!  the statement instead to each subroutine.
!
!
!  (4) C_LOC and character strings according to the Fortran 2003 standard:
!
!  15.1.2.5 C_LOC(X)
!
!  Argument. X shall either
!
!  (A) have interoperable type and type parameters and be
!  (a) a variable that has the TARGET attribute and is interoperable,
!  (b) an allocated allocatable variable that has the TARGET attribute
!  and is not an array of zero size, or
!  (c) an associated scalar pointer, or
!  (B) be a nonpolymorphic scalar, have no length type parameters, and be
!  (a) a nonallocatable, nonpointer variable that has the TARGET attribute,
!  (b) an allocated allocatable variable that has the TARGET attribute, or
!  (c) an associated pointer.
!
!          - When X is a character, for interoperability the standard is:
!
!  15.2.1 Interoperability of intrinsic types
!
!  ...if the type is character, interoperability also requires that the length type parameter
!  be omitted or be specified by an initialization expression whose value is one.
!
!  THEREFORE compilers that have not extended the standard require the
!  argument in C_LOC to be of the variant:
!
!  CHARACTER(LEN=1), TARGET :: chr
!  or
!  CHARACTER, TARGET :: chr
!
!       _____ __  __ _____   ____  _____ _______       _   _ _______
!      |_   _|  \/  |  __ \ / __ \|  __ \__   __|/\   | \ | |__   __|
! ****   | | | \  / | |__) | |  | | |__) | | |  /  \  |  \| |  | |    ****
! ****   | | | |\/| |  ___/| |  | |  _  /  | | / /\ \ | . ` |  | |    ****

!      |_____|_|  |_|_|     \____/|_|  \_\ |_/_/    \_\_| \_|  |_|
!
!  If you add a new H5D function you must add the function name to the
!  Windows dll file 'hdf5_fortrandll.def.in' in the fortran/src directory.
!  This is needed for Windows based operating systems.

!! \param dset_id    Identifier of the dataset to write to
!! \param filters    Mask for identifying the filters in use
!! \param offset     Logical position of the chunk&apos;s first element in the dataspace, \Bold{0-based indices}
!! \param data_size  Size of the actual data to be written in bytes
!! \param buf        Buffer containing data to be written to the chunk
!! \param hdferr     \fortran_error
!! \param dxpl_id    Dataset transfer property list identifier
