 * Purpose:     Prints NELMTS data elements to output STREAM.
 * Description:
 *      Prints some (NELMTS) data elements to output STREAM. The elements are
 *      stored in _MEM as type TYPE and are printed according to the format
 *      described in INFO. The CTX struct contains context information shared
 *      between calls to this function. The FLAGS is a bit field that
 *      indicates whether the data supplied in this call falls at the
 *      beginning or end of the total data to be printed (START_OF_DATA and
 *      END_OF_DATA).
 * Return: Success:    SUCCEED
 *         Failure:    FAIL
 * Programmer:
 *      Robb Matzke, Monday, April 26, 1999
 * Modifications:
 *  Robb Matzke, 1999-06-04
 * The `container' argument is the optional dataset for reference types.
 *
 *  Robb Matzke, 1999-09-29
 * Understands the `per_line' property which indicates that every Nth
 * element should begin a new line.
 *
 *      Robb Matzke, LLNL, 2003-06-05
 *      Do not dereference the memory for a variable-length string here.
 *      Deref in h5tools_str_sprint() instead so recursive types are
 *      handled correctly.

 * Audience:    Public

 * Purpose:     print out the data for a subset of a dataset.
 * Description:
 *
 *  Select a hyperslab from the dataset DSET using the parameters
 *   specified in SSET. Dump this out to STREAM.
 *
 *  Hyperslabs select "count" blocks of size "block", spaced "stride" elements
 *   from each other, starting at coordinate "start".
 *
 * Return:
 *      On success, return SUCCEED. Otherwise, the function returns FAIL.
 *
 * Algorithm
 *
 * The parameters from SSET are translated into temporary
 * variables so that 1 row is printed at a time (getting the coordinate indices
 * at each row).
 * We define the stride, count and block to be 1 in the row dimension to achieve
 * this and advance until all points are printed.
 *
 * The element position is obtained from the matrix according to:
 *       Given an index I(z,y,x) its position from the beginning of an array
 *       of sizes A(size_z, size_y,size_x) is given by
 *       Position of I(z,y,x) = index_z * size_y * size_x
