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
hid_t aapl_idIN: Attribute access property list
hid_t lapl_idIN: Link access property list

Description:

H5A_OPEN_BY_IDX  opens an existing attribute that is attached to an object specified by location and name, loc_id  and  obj_name , respectively. If  loc_id  fully specifies the object to which the attribute is attached,  obj_name  should be  '.'  (a dot).

The attribute is identified by 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 attribute access property list, aapl_id, is currently unused and should currently be H5P_DEFAULT.

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.

This function,  H5A_OPEN , or  H5A_OPEN_BY_NAME  must be called before an attribute can be accessed for any further purpose, including reading, writing, or any modification.

The attribute identifier returned by this function must be released with  H5A_CLOSE  or resource leaks will develop.

Returns:

Returns an attribute identifier if successful; otherwise returns a negative value.

Example:

Coming Soon!
