The H5Scopy function allows you to make an exact copy of a dataspace, which can help cut down on the number of function calls needed when selecting a dataspace.

/* PROGRAM: h5_copy.c */
/* PURPOSE: Shows how to use the H5SCOPY function. */
/* DESCRIPTION: */
/* This program creates two files, copy1.h5, and copy2.h5. */
/* In copy1.h5, it creates a 3x4 dataset called 'Copy1', */
/* and write 0's to this dataset. */
/* In copy2.h5, it create a 3x4 dataset called 'Copy2', */
/* and write 1's to this dataset. */
/* It closes both files, reopens both files, selects two */
/* points in copy1.h5 and writes values to them. Then it */
/* does an H5Scopy from the first file to the second, and */
/* writes the values to copy2.h5. It then closes the */
/* files, reopens them, and prints the contents of the */
/* two datasets. */
