 * Function:	H5Dread
 *
 * Purpose:	Reads (part of) a DSET from the file into application
 *		memory BUF. The part of the dataset to read is defined with
 *		MEM_SPACE_ID and FILE_SPACE_ID.	 The data points are
 *		converted from their file type to the MEM_TYPE_ID specified. 
 *		Additional miscellaneous data transfer properties can be
 *		passed to this function with the PLIST_ID argument.
 *
 *		The FILE_SPACE_ID can be the constant H5S_ALL which indicates
 *		that the entire file data space is to be referenced.
 *
 *		The MEM_SPACE_ID can be the constant H5S_ALL in which case
 *		the memory data space is the same as the file data space
 *		defined when the dataset was created.
 *
 *		The number of elements in the memory data space must match
 *		the number of elements in the file data space.
 *
 *		The PLIST_ID can be the constant H5P_DEFAULT in which
 *		case the default data transfer properties are used.
 *
 * Return:	Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 *
 * Errors:
 *		ARGS	  BADTYPE	Not a data space. 
 *		ARGS	  BADTYPE	Not a data type. 
 *		ARGS	  BADTYPE	Not a dataset. 
 *		ARGS	  BADTYPE	Not xfer parms.
