 NAME
    H5D_flush
 PURPOSE
    Flush an an HDF5 dataset object to disk.
 USAGE
    herr_t H5D_flush(oid)

 RETURNS
    SUCCEED/FAIL
 DESCRIPTION
        This function flushes a dataset to disk.  (i.e. makes the disk version
    agree with what's in memory, it does _not_ update the memory version with
    any changes on disk)  This function is primarily called from H5Mflush, but
    internal library routines may call it also.
