/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:	H5F_seq_writev
 *
 * Purpose:	Writes a vector of byte sequences from a buffer in memory into
 *      a file dataset.  The data is written to file F and the array's size
 *      and storage information is in LAYOUT.  External files are described
 *      according to the external file list, EFL.  The vector of byte sequences
 *      offsets is in the DSET_OFFSET array into the dataset (offsets are in
 *      terms of bytes) and the size of each sequence is in the SEQ_LEN array.
 *      The total size of the file array is implied in the LAYOUT argument.
 *      Bytes written from BUF are sequentially stored in the buffer, each sequence
 *      from the vector stored directly after the previous.  The number of
 *      sequences is NSEQ.
 *
 * Return:	Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 *
 * Programmer:	Quincey Koziol
