 NAME
    H5S_select_deserialize
 PURPOSE
    Deserialize the current selection from a user-provided buffer into a real
        selection in the dataspace.
 USAGE
    herr_t H5S_select_deserialize(space, buf)
        H5S_t *space;           IN/OUT: Dataspace pointer to place selection into
        uint8 *buf;             IN: Buffer to retrieve serialized selection from
 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 DESCRIPTION
    Deserializes the current selection into a buffer.  (Primarily for retrieving
    from disk).  This routine just hands off to the appropriate routine for each
    type of selection.  The format of the serialized information is shown in
    the H5S_select_serialize() header.

 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 interated through
    when a selection is read/written from/to disk.

 NAME
    H5S_get_select_bounds

        hsize_t *end;           OUT: Opposite coordinate of bounding box
 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success, negative on failure
 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
    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.

        const void *fill;       IN: Pointer to fill value to use
        size_t fill_size;       IN: Size of elements in memory buffer & size of
                                    fill value
        H5S_t *space;           IN: Dataspace describing memory buffer &
                                    containing selection to use.
        void *buf;              IN/OUT: Memory buffer to fill selection in
 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure.
 DESCRIPTION
    Use the selection in the dataspace to fill elements in a memory buffer.
 GLOBAL VARIABLES
 COMMENTS, BUGS, ASSUMPTIONS
    The memory buffer elements are assumed to have the same datatype as the
    fill value being placed into them.
