ESMF_GridDeserialize Function

      function ESMF_GridDeserialize(buffer, offset, &
                                    attreconflag, rc)
!
! !RETURN VALUE:
      type(ESMF_Grid) :: ESMF_GridDeserialize
!
! !ARGUMENTS:
      character, pointer, dimension(:) :: buffer
      integer, intent(inout) :: offset
      type(ESMF_AttReconcileFlag), optional :: attreconflag
      integer, intent(out), optional :: rc
!
! !DESCRIPTION:
!      Takes a byte-stream buffer and reads the information needed to
!      recreate a Grid object.  Recursively calls the deserialize routines
!      needed to recreate the subobjects.
!      Expected to be used by {\tt ESMF\_StateReconcile()}.
!
!     The arguments are:
!     \begin{description}
!     \item [buffer]
!           Data buffer which holds the serialized information.
!     \item [offset]
!           Current read offset in the current buffer.  This will be
!           updated by this routine and return pointing to the next
!           unread byte in the buffer.
!     \item[{[attreconflag]}]
!           Flag to tell if Attribute serialization is to be done
!     \item [{[rc]}]
!           Return code; equals {\tt ESMF\_SUCCESS} if there are no errors.
!     \end{description}
