----------------

{

    hid_t file;

    hid_t group;

    hid_t dataset;

    hid_t attr;

    hid_t dataspace;

    int32 attr_data;

    int rank;

    size_t dimsf[2];

​

    /* Open the file */

    file=H5Fopen("example.h5", H5F_ACC_RDWR, H5P_DEFAULT);

​

    /* Describe the size of the array and create the data space */

    rank=2;

    dimsf[0] = H5S_UNLIMITED;

    dimsf[1] = H5S_UNLIMITED;

    dataspace = H5Screate_simple(rank, dimsf, NULL); 

​

    /* Create a dataset */

    dataset=H5Dcreate(file,"Dataset1",H5T_UINT8,dataspace,H5P_DEFAULT);

​

    <Write data to first dataset>

​

    /* Create an attribute for the dataset */

    attr=H5Acreate(dataset,"Attr1",H5T_INT32,H5S_SCALAR,H5P_DEFAULT);

​

    /* Write attribute information */

    H5Awrite(attr,H5T_INT32,&attr_data);

​

    /* Close attribute */

    H5Aclose(attr);

​

    /* Close dataset */

    H5Dclose(dataset);

​

    /* Create a group */

    group=H5Gcreate(file,"/Group One",0);

​

    /* Create an attribute for the dataset */

    attr=H5Acreate(group,"Attr1",H5T_INT32,H5S_SCALAR,H5P_DEFAULT);

​

    /* Write attribute information */

    H5Awrite(attr,H5T_INT32,&attr_data);

​

    /* Close attribute */
