 * 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 dataspace is to be referenced.
 *
 *		The MEM_SPACE_ID can be the constant H5S_ALL in which case
 *		the memory dataspace is the same as the file dataspace
 *		defined when the dataset was created.
 *
 *		The number of elements in the memory dataspace must match
 *		the number of elements in the file dataspace.

 *		The PLIST_ID can be the constant H5P_DEFAULT in which

 * Return:	Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
