// This example creates a group in the file and dataset in the group. 
// Hard link to the group object is created and the dataset is accessed
// under different names. 
// Iterator function is used to find the object names in the root group.
// Note that the C++ API iterator function is not completed yet, thus
// the C version is used in this example.
