Bind a blob to a dataset

ss_blob_bind_f1 is a function defined in ssblob.c.

Synopsis:

herr_t ss_blob_bind_f1(ss_blob_t *blob, hid_t dset, hsize_t offset, hsize_t size, unsigned flags)

Formal Arguments:

• blob: The blob to which a dataset is associated.
• dset: The dataset to associate with the blob. The handle is duplicated by SSlib, allowing the caller to close its handle at any time.
• offset: Offset into the array for the region of the dataset owned by this blob.
• size: Number of elements owned by this blob.
• flags: Bit flags to pass down to ss_blob_bind_f

Description: This is a convenience function for ss_blob_bind_f that can be used when the dataset is one dimensional and the region of the dataset owned by the blob is contiguous.

Return Value: Returns non-negative on success; negative on failure.

Parallel Notes: See ss_blob_bind_f.
