The source elements are packed in <code>buf</code> and on return the destination elements will be packed in <code>buf</code>. That is, the conversion is performed in place.</p>
<p>The optional background buffer is for use with compound datatypes. It is an array of <code>nelmts</code> values for the destination datatype which can then be merged with the converted values to recreate the compound datatype. For instance, background might be an array of structs with the <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> fields already initialized and the conversion of buf supplies the <code>c</code> and <code>d</code> field values.</p>
<p>The parameter <code>plist_id</code> contains the dataset transfer property list identifier which is passed to the conversion functions. As of Release 1.2, this parameter is only used to pass along the variable-length datatype custom allocation information.</p>
