 DESCRIPTION
    Retrieves the bounding box containing the current selection and places
    it into the user's buffers.  The start and end buffers must be large
    enough to hold the dataspace rank number of coordinates.  The bounding box
    exactly contains the selection, ie. if a 2-D element selection is currently
    defined with the following points: (4,5), (6,8) (10,7), the bounding box
    with be (4, 5), (10, 8).  Calling this function on a "none" selection
    returns fail.
        The bounding box calculations _does_ include the current offset of the
    selection within the dataspace extent.

 DESCRIPTION
    Retrieves the bounding box containing the current selection and places
    it into the user's buffers.  The start and end buffers must be large
    enough to hold the dataspace rank number of coordinates.  The bounding box
    exactly contains the selection, ie. if a 2-D element selection is currently
    defined with the following points: (4,5), (6,8) (10,7), the bounding box
    with be (4, 5), (10, 8).  Calling this function on a "none" selection
    returns fail.
        The bounding box calculations _does_ include the current offset of the
    selection within the dataspace extent.

 NAME
    H5S_select_iterate
 PURPOSE
    Iterate over the selected elements in a memory buffer.
 USAGE
    herr_t H5S_select_iterate(buf, type, space, operator, operator_data)
        void *buf;      IN/OUT: Buffer containing elements to iterate over
        H5T_t *type;    IN: Datatype of BUF array.
        H5S_t *space;   IN: Dataspace object containing selection to iterate over
        H5D_operator_t op; IN: Function pointer to the routine to be
                                called for each element in BUF iterated over.
        void *operator_data;    IN/OUT: Pointer to any user-defined data
                                associated with the operation.
 RETURNS
    Returns the return value of the last operator if it was non-zero, or zero
    if all elements were processed. Otherwise returns a negative value.
 DESCRIPTION
    Iterates over the selected elements in a memory buffer, calling the user's
    callback function for each element.  The selection in the dataspace is
    modified so that any elements already iterated over are removed from the
    selection if the iteration is interrupted (by the H5D_operator_t function
    returning non-zero) in the "middle" of the iteration and may be re-started
    by the user where it left off.

    NOTE: Until "subtracting" elements from a selection is implemented,
        the selection is not modified.

 NAME
    H5S_select_construct_projection

 PURPOSE
    Given a dataspace a of rank n with some selection, construct a new
    dataspace b of rank m (m != n), with the selection in a being
    topologically identical to that in b (as verified by
    H5S_select_shape_same().

    This function exists, as some I/O code chokes on topologically
    identical selections with different ranks.  At least to begin
    with, we will deal with the issue by constructing projections
    of the memory dataspace with ranks equaling those of the file
    dataspace.

    Note that if m > n, it is possible that the starting point in the
    buffer associated with the memory dataspace will have to be
    adjusted to match the projected dataspace. In this case, the amount
    of adjustment to be applied to the buffer will be returned via the
    buf_adj parameter, if supplied.

 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure.

 DESCRIPTION
    Construct a new dataspace and associated selection which is a
    projection of the supplied dataspace and associated selection into
    the specified rank.  Return it in *new_space_ptr.

 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
    The selection in the supplied base_space has thickness 1 in all
    dimensions greater than new_space_rank.  Note that here we count
    dimensions from the fastest changing coordinate to the slowest
    changing changing coordinate.

 DESCRIPTION
    Retrieve a list of offset / length pairs (a list of "sequences") matching
    the selected elements for an iterator, according to the iteration order for
    the iterator.  The lengths returned are in _bytes_, not elements.

    Note that the iteration order for "all" and "hyperslab" selections is
    row-major (i.e. "C-ordered"), but the iteration order for "point"
    selections is "in order selected", unless the H5S_SEL_ITER_GET_SEQ_LIST_SORTED
    flag is passed to H5Sset_iter_create for a point selection.

    MAXSEQ and MAXELMTS specify the most sequences or bytes possible to
    place into the OFF and LEN arrays. *NSEQ and *NELMTS return the actual
    number of sequences and bytes put into the arrays.

    Each call to H5Ssel_iter_get_seq_list() will retrieve the next set
    of sequences for the selection being iterated over.

    The total number of bytes possible to retrieve from a selection iterator
    is the 'elmt_size' passed to H5Ssel_iter_create multiplied by the number
    of elements selected in the dataspace the iterator was created from
    (which can be retrieved with H5Sget_select_npoints).  When there are no
    further sequences of elements to retrieve, calls to this routine will
    set *NSEQ and *NELMTS to zero.
