Name: H5Sselect_valid
Signature:
  htri_t `H5Sselect_valid`( hid_t `space_id` )

Purpose:
  Verifies that the selection is within the extent of the dataspace.

Description:
  `H5Sselect_valid` verifies that the selection for the dataspace `space_id` is within the extent of the dataspace if the current offset for the dataspace is used.

Parameters:

hid_t `space_id` | IN: Identifier for the dataspace being queried.

Returns:
  Returns a positive value, for `TRUE`, if the selection is contained within the extent or `0` (zero), for `FALSE`, if it is not. Returns a negative value on error conditions such as the selection or extent not being defined.
