The H5D_GET_STORAGE_SIZE function returns the amount of storage in bytes required for a dataset. For chunked datasets, this value is the number of allocated chunks times the chunk size.
Note: This function does not typically need to be called, as IDL will automatically allocate the necessary memory when reading data.
