Name: H5Dvlen_get_buf_size
Signature:
herr_t H5Dvlen_get_buf_size(hid_t dataset_id, hid_t type_id, hid_t space_id, hsize_t *size )
Purpose:
Determines the number of bytes required to store VL data.
Description:
H5Dvlen_get_buf_size determines the number of bytes required to store the VL data from the dataset, using the space_id for the selection in the dataset on disk and the type_id for the memory representation of the VL data in memory.

*size is returned with the number of bytes required to store the VL data in memory.

Parameters:
Returns:
Returns non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.
Fortran90 Interface: h5dvlen_get_max_len_f
There is no direct FORTRAN couterpart for the C function H5Dvlen_get_buf_size; corresponding functionality is provided by the FORTRAN function h5dvlen_get_max_len_f.
