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,
