Hi Landon,

Is Section 7.4, Dataspaces and Data Transfer, in the HDF5 User's Guide helpful 
to you?

Subject: [Hdf-forum] Difference between Memspace/Filespace

Hello everyone,

Can someone please inform me what the difference is between memspace and 
filespace? I am looking at H5Dread which is defined as:

herr_t H5Dread( hid_t dataset_id, hid_t mem_type_id, hid_t mem_space_id, hid_t 
file_space_id, hid_t xfer_plist_id, void * buf )

For everything I've done so far I've just set the file_space_id to H5S_ALL. The 
API description discusses a little bit about file and memspace but I don't 
understand what the difference between them is. Thanks.

Regards,
