 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.

 NAME
    H5S_get_select_bounds
 PURPOSE
    Gets the bounding box containing the selection.
 USAGE

        hsize_t *start;         OUT: Starting coordinate of bounding box
        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.

 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.  If the buf parameter
    is not NULL, the function must return an adjusted buffer base
    address in *adj_buf_ptr.

 USAGE

                                           new_space_ptr,
                                           new_space_rank,
                                           buf,
                                           adj_buf_ptr)
        const H5S_t *base_space;     IN: Ptr to Dataspace to project
        H5S_t ** new_space_ptr;     OUT: Ptr to location in which to return
					 the address of the projected space
        int new_space_rank;	     IN: Rank of the projected space.
        const void * buf;            IN: Base address of the buffer

 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.

    If buf is supplied, computes the base address of the projected
    selection in buf, and stores the base address in *adj_buf_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.

 PURPOSE
    Retrieve a list of offset / length sequences for the elements in an iterator

    herr_t H5Ssel_iter_get_seq_list(sel_iter_id, maxseq, maxbytes, nseq, nbytes, off, len)
        hid_t   sel_iter_id;  IN: ID of the dataspace selection iterator to retrieve sequence from

        size_t *nseq;         OUT: # of sequences retrieved
        size_t *nbytes;       OUT: # of bytes retrieved, in all sequences
        hsize_t *off;         OUT: Array of sequence offsets
        size_t *len;          OUT: Array of sequence lengths
 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success / Negative on failure
 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 MAXBYTES specify the most sequences or bytes possible to
    place into the OFF and LEN arrays. *NSEQ and *NBYTES 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 *NBYTES to zero.
