H5Acreate1(
hid_t loc_id,
const char *attr_name,
hid_t type_id,
hid_t space_id,
hid_t acpl_id
)
H5Acreate2.
H5Acreate1 creates the attribute attr_name
attached to the object specified with loc_id.
The attribute name specified in attr_name must be unique.
Attempting to create an attribute with the same name as an already
existing attribute will fail, leaving the pre-existing attribute
in place. To overwrite an existing attribute with a new attribute
of the same name, first call H5Adelete then recreate
the attribute with H5Acreate1.
The datatype and dataspace identifiers of the attribute,
type_id and space_id, respectively,
are created with the H5T and H5S interfaces, respectively.
Currently only simple dataspaces are allowed for attribute dataspaces.
The attribute creation property list, acpl_id,
is currently unused;
it may be used in the future for optional attribute properties.
At this time, H5P_DEFAULT is the only accepted value.
H5Aclose or resource leaks will develop.
hid_t loc_id |
IN: Identifier for the object to which the
attribute is to be attached
May be any HDF5 object identifier (group, dataset, or committed datatype) or an HDF5 file identifier; if loc_id is a file identifer, the attribute
will be attached to that file’s root group. |
const char *attr_name |
IN: Name of attribute to create |
hid_t type_id |

hid_t space_id |
