 * Function:	H5Dcreate

 * Purpose:	Creates a new dataset named NAME at LOC_ID, opens the

 *		and initial persistent properties including the type of each
 *		datapoint as stored in the file (TYPE_ID), the size of the
 *		dataset (SPACE_ID), and other initial miscellaneous
 *		properties (CREATE_PARMS_ID).
 *
 *		All arguments are copied into the dataset, so the caller is
 *		allowed to derive new types, data spaces, and creation
 *		parameters from the old ones and reuse them in calls to
 *		create other datasets.
 *
 * Return:	Success:	The object ID of the new dataset.  At this
 *				point, the dataset is ready to receive its
 *				raw data.  Attempting to read raw data from
 *				the dataset will probably return the fill
 *				value.	The dataset should be closed when
 *				the caller is no longer interested in it.

 * Errors:
 *		ARGS	  BADTYPE	Not a data space. 
 *		ARGS	  BADTYPE	Not a dataset creation plist.
