/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:	H5V_hyper_copy
 *
 * Purpose:	Copies a hyperslab from the source to the destination.
 *
 *		A hyperslab is a logically contiguous region of
 *		multi-dimensional size SIZE of an array whose dimensionality
 *		is N and whose total size is DST_TOTAL_SIZE or SRC_TOTAL_SIZE.
 *		The minimum corner of the hyperslab begins at a
 *		multi-dimensional offset from the minimum corner of the DST
 *		(destination) or SRC (source) array.  The sizes and offsets
 *		are assumed to be in C order, that is, the first size/offset
 *		varies the slowest while the last varies the fastest in the
 *		mapping from N-dimensional space to linear space.  This
 *		function assumes that the array elements are single bytes (if
 *		your array has multi-byte elements then add an additional
 *		dimension whose size is that of your element).
 *
 *		The SRC and DST array may be the same array, but the results
 *		are undefined if the source hyperslab overlaps the
 *		destination hyperslab.

 * Return:	Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
