ESMF_BaseDeserialize Function

  function ESMF_BaseDeserialize (buffer, offset, attreconflag, rc) 
!
! !RETURN VALUE:
    type(ESMF_Base) :: ESMF_BaseDeserialize
!
! !ARGUMENTS:
    character,       intent(in)    :: buffer(:)
    integer,         intent(inout) :: offset
    type(ESMF_AttReconcileFlag), intent(in) :: attreconflag
    integer,         intent(out), optional  :: rc
!
! !DESCRIPTION:
!      Recreates a {\tt ESMF\_Base} object from a serialized byte stream.
!      Expected to be used by {\tt ESMF\_StateReconcile()}.
!
!     The arguments are:
!     \begin{description}
!     \item [buffer]
!           Data buffer of serialized information.
!     \item [offset]
!           Current read offset in the current buffer.  This will be
!           updated by this routine and return pointing to the next
!           available byte in the buffer.
!     \item[attreconflag]
!           Flag to tell if Attribute deserialization is to be done
!     \item [rc]
!           Return code; equals {\tt ESMF\_SUCCESS} if there are no errors.
!     \end{description}
