        The block coordinates have the same dimensionality (rank) as the
    dataspace they are located within.  The list of blocks is formatted as
    follows: <"start" coordinate> immediately followed by <"opposite" corner
    coordinate>, followed by the next "start" and "opposite" coordinate, etc.
    until all the block information requested has been put into the user's
    buffer.

 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.

    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.

    Checks to see if the current selection in the dataspace is contiguous.

 NAME
    H5S_iterate
 PURPOSE
    Iterate over the selected elements in a memory buffer.
 USAGE
    herr_t H5S_select_iterate(buf, type_id, space, operator, operator_data)
        void *buf;      IN/OUT: Buffer containing elements to iterate over
        hid_t type_id;  IN: Datatype ID 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.
