Parameters:
hid_t loc_idIN: Location identifier of object to which attribute is attached; may be a file, group, dataset or named datatype
const char *obj_nameIN: Name of object to which attribute is attached, relative to location
H5_index_t idx_typeIN: Type of index
H5_iter_order_t order    IN: Index traversal order
hsize_t nIN: Attribute’s position in index
H5A_info_t *ainfoOUT: Struct containing returned attribute information
hid_t lapl_idIN: Link access property list

Description:

H5A_GET_INFO_BY_IDX retrieves information for an attribute that is attached to an object, which is specified by its location and name, loc_id and obj_name, respectively. The attribute is located by its index position and the attribute information is returned in the ainfo struct.

If loc_id fully specifies the object to which the attribute is attached, obj_name should be '.' (a dot).

The attribute is located by means of an index type, an index traversal order, and a position in the index, idx_type, order and n, respectively. These parameters and their valid values are discussed in the description of H5A_ITERATE2.

The ainfo struct, which will contain the returned attribute information, is described in H5A_GET_INFO.

The link access property list, lapl_id, may provide information regarding the properties of links required to access the object, obj_name. See “Link Access Properties” in the H5P APIs.

Returns:

Returns a non-negative value if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.

Example:
