<code>rank</code> is the number of dimensions used in the dataspace.
<p>
<code>dims</code> is an array specifying the size of each dimension

the size of each dimension.

upper limit is the same as <code>dims</code>.
<p>
If an element of <code>maxdims</code> is
<code>H5S_UNLIMITED</code>, (<code>-1</code>),
the maximum size of the corresponding dimension is unlimited.
Otherwise, no element of <code>maxdims</code> should be
smaller than the corresponding element of <code>dims</code>.

<dd>Gets the bounding box containing the current selection.
<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Sget_select_bounds</code> retrieves the coordinates of
the bounding box containing the current selection and places
them into user-supplied buffers.
<p>
The <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> buffers must be large
enough to hold the dataspace rank number of coordinates.
<p>
The bounding box exactly contains the selection.
I.e., if a 2-dimensional element selection is currently
defined as containing the points (4,5), (6,8), and (10,7),
then the bounding box will be (4, 5), (10, 8).
<p>
The bounding box calculation includes the current offset of the
selection within the dataspace extent.

<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>

<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Sget_select_elem_pointlist</code> returns the list of
element points in the current dataspace selection. Starting with
the <code>startpoint</code>-th point in the list of points,
<code>numpoints</code> points are put into the user's buffer.
If the user's buffer fills up before <code>numpoints</code>
points are inserted, the buffer will contain only as many
points as fit.
<p>
The element point coordinates have the same dimensionality (rank)
as the dataspace they are located within. The list of element points
is formatted as follows:

<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
the next coordinate,
<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
etc.
<br>
until all of the selected element points have been listed.
<p>
The points are returned in the order they will be iterated through
when the selection is read/written from/to disk.

<dt><strong>Purpose:</strong>

<dt><strong>Description:</strong>
<dd><code>H5Sselect_hyperslab</code> selects a hyperslab region
to add to the current selected region for the dataspace
specified by <code>space_id</code>.
<p>
The <code>start</code>, <code>stride</code>, <code>count</code>,
and <code>block</code> arrays must be the same size as the rank
of the dataspace.
<p>
The selection operator <code>op</code> determines how the new
selection is to be combined with the already existing selection
for the dataspace.
The following operators are supported:
<center>
<table width=90% border=0>
<tr><td valign=top>
<code>H5S_SELECT_SET</code>
</td><td valign=top>
Replaces the existing selection with the parameters from this call.
Overlapping blocks are not supported with this operator.
</td></tr><tr><td valign=top>
<code>H5S_SELECT_OR</code>
</td><td valign=top>
Adds the new selection to the existing selection.
&nbsp;&nbsp;
(Binary OR)
</td></tr><tr><td valign=top>
<code>H5S_SELECT_AND</code>

Retains only the overlapping portions of the new selection and
the existing selection.
&nbsp;&nbsp;
(Binary AND)
</td></tr><tr><td valign=top>
<code>H5S_SELECT_XOR</code>
</td><td valign=top>
Retains only the elements that are members of the new selection or
the existing selection, excluding elements that are members of
both selections.
&nbsp;&nbsp;
(Binary exclusive-OR, XOR)
</td></tr><tr><td valign=top>
<code>H5S_SELECT_NOTB&nbsp;&nbsp;</code>
</td><td valign=top>
Retains only elements of the existing selection that are not in
the new selection.
</td></tr><tr><td valign=top>
<code>H5S_SELECT_NOTA</code>
</td><td valign=top>

the existing selection.
</td></tr>
</table>
</center>
<p>
The <code>start</code> array determines the starting coordinates
of the hyperslab to select.
<p>
The <code>stride</code> array chooses array locations
from the dataspace with each value in the <code>stride</code>
array determining how many elements to move in each dimension.
Setting a value in the <code>stride</code> array to 1 moves to
each element in that dimension of the dataspace; setting a value
of <code>2</code> in alocation in the <code>stride</code> array
moves to every other element in that dimension of the dataspace.
In other words, the <code>stride</code> determines the
number of elements to move from the <code>start</code> location
in each dimension.
Stride values of <code>0</code> are not allowed.
If the <code>stride</code> parameter is <code>NULL</code>,
a contiguous hyperslab is selected (as if each value in the
<code>stride</code> array were set to all 1's).
<p>
The <code>count</code> array determines how many blocks to
select from the dataspace, in each dimension.
<p>
The <code>block</code> array determines
the size of the element block selected from the dataspace.
If the <code>block</code> parameter is set to <code>NULL</code>,
the block size defaults to a single element in each dimension
(as if the <code>block</code> array were set to all
<code>1</code>'s).
<p>
For example, in a 2-dimensional dataspace, setting
<code>start</code> to [1,1],
<code>stride</code> to [4,4],
<code>count</code> to [3,7], and
<code>block</code> to [2,2]
selects 21 2x2 blocks of array elements starting with
location (1,1) and selecting blocks at locations
(1,1), (5,1), (9,1), (1,5), (5,5), etc.
<p>
Regions selected with this function call default to C order
iteration when I/O is performed.
