/*
 *  This program illustrates the usage of the H5A Interface functions.
 *  It creates and writes a dataset, and then creates and writes array,
 *  scalar, and string attributes of the dataset.
 *  Program reopens the file, attaches to the scalar attribute using
 *  attribute name and reads and displays its value. Then index of the
 *  third attribute is used to read and display attribute values.
 *  The H5Aiterate function is used to iterate through the dataset attributes,
 *  and display their names. The function is also reads and displays the values
 *  of the array attribute.
