Hello,

I have a very specific usage question.

I would like to output a part of an array.  Other libraries may call this a
slice.  By way of an example, say I have a 3 dimensional array with a size
of 5 in each direction spread over several separate processes.  I would
like to write to file all the data with y coordinate 3.

I currently use parallel file I/O by hyperslab, following the example here:
https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/Tutor/phypecont.html

It seems to me that there might be a very easy way to do this using the
memory and file datasets which doesn't require my code to check each
process for participation in the output, etc, but I have failed to find
examples or documentation that outline the constraints. Any help is
appreciated.
