 * Function:	H5S_point_fgath
 *
 * Purpose:	Gathers data points from file F and accumulates them in the
 *		type conversion buffer BUF.  The LAYOUT argument describes
 *		how the data is stored on disk and EFL describes how the data
 *		is organized in external files.  ELMT_SIZE is the size in
 *		bytes of a datum which this function treats as opaque.
 *		FILE_SPACE describes the data space of the dataset on disk
 *		and the elements that have been selected for reading (via
 *		hyperslab, etc).  This function will copy at most NELMTS
 *		elements.
 *
 *  Notes: This could be optimized by gathering selected elements near (how
 *      near?) each other into one I/O request and then moving the correct
 *      elements into the return buffer
 *
 * Return:	Success:	Number of elements copied.

        H5S_t *space;             IN: Dataspace pointer to query
 RETURNS
    TRUE if the selection fits within the extent, FALSE if it does not and
        FAIL on an error.
 DESCRIPTION
