    the element coordinates in the COORD array specifies the order that the
    array elements are iterated through when I/O is performed.  Duplicate
    coordinates are not checked for.  The selection operator, OP, determines
    how the new selection is to be combined with the existing selection for
    the dataspace.

        Puts a list of the element points into the user's buffer.  The points

    the list of points, whichever happen first)
        The point coordinates have the same dimensionality (rank) as the
    dataspace they are located within.  The list of points is formatted as
    follows: <coordinate> followed by the next coordinate, etc. until all the
    point information in the selection have been put into the user's buffer.
        The points are returned in the order they will be iterated through
    when a selection is read/written from/to disk.

 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success, negative on failure
 DESCRIPTION
        Puts a list of the element points into the user's buffer.  The points
    start with the 'startpoint'th block in the list of points and put
    'numpoints' number of points into the user's buffer (or until the end of
    the list of points, whichever happen first)
        The point coordinates have the same dimensionality (rank) as the
    dataspace they are located within.  The list of points is formatted as
    follows: <coordinate> followed by the next coordinate, etc. until all the
    point information in the selection have been put into the user's buffer.
        The points are returned in the order they will be iterated through
    when a selection is read/written from/to disk.

    with be (4, 5), (10, 8).
        The bounding box calculations _does_ include the current offset of the
    selection within the dataspace extent.

 NAME
    H5Sselect_elements
 PURPOSE
    Specify a series of elements in the dataspace to select
 USAGE
    herr_t H5Sselect_elements(dsid, op, num_elem, coord)
        hid_t dsid;             IN: Dataspace ID of selection to modify
        H5S_seloper_t op;       IN: Operation to perform on current selection
        size_t num_elem;        IN: Number of elements in COORD array.
        const hsize_t *coord;   IN: The location of each element selected
 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 DESCRIPTION
    This function selects array elements to be included in the selection for
    the dataspace.  The COORD array is a 2-D array of size <dataspace rank>
    by NUM_ELEM (ie. a list of coordinates in the dataspace).  The order of
    the element coordinates in the COORD array specifies the order that the
    array elements are iterated through when I/O is performed.  Duplicate
    coordinates are not checked for.  The selection operator, OP, determines
    how the new selection is to be combined with the existing selection for
    the dataspace.  Currently, only H5S_SELECT_SET is supported, which replaces
    the existing selection with the one defined in this call.  When operators
    other than H5S_SELECT_SET are used to combine a new selection with an
    existing selection, the selection ordering is reset to 'C' array ordering.
