 NAME
    H5Sset_extent_simple
 PURPOSE
    Sets the size of a simple dataspace
 USAGE
    herr_t H5Sset_extent_simple(space_id, rank, dims, max)
        hid_t space_id;	      IN: Dataspace object to query
        int rank;	      IN: # of dimensions for the dataspace
        const size_t *dims;   IN: Size of each dimension for the dataspace
 	const size_t *max;    IN: Maximum size of each dimension for the
 				  dataspace
 RETURNS
    Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 DESCRIPTION
    This function sets the number and size of each dimension in the
    dataspace. Setting RANK to a value of zero converts the dataspace to a
    scalar dataspace.  Dimensions are specified from slowest to fastest
    changing in the DIMS array (i.e. 'C' order).  Setting the size of a
    dimension in the MAX array to zero indicates that the dimension is of
    unlimited size and should be allowed to expand.  If MAX is NULL, the
    dimensions in the DIMS array are used as the maximum dimensions.
    Currently, only the first dimension in the array (the slowest) may be
    unlimited in size.

 MODIFICATION
    A null dataspace cannot be created from simple space with this function.
