bool H5::H5Object::attrExists ( const char * name ) const

Parameters

name	- IN: Name of the attribute to be queried

Attribute H5::H5Object::createAttribute	(	const char *	name,
		const DataType &	data_type,
		const DataSpace &	data_space,
		const PropList &	create_plist = `PropList::DEFAULT`
	)		const

Parameters

name	- IN: Name of the attribute
data_type	- IN: Datatype for the attribute

create_plist	- IN: Creation property list - default to PropList::DEFAULT

Returns: Attribute instance

Exceptions

H5::AttributeIException

Description: The attribute name specified in name must be unique. Attempting to create an attribute with the same name as an existing attribute will raise an exception, leaving the pre-existing attribute intact. To overwrite an existing attribute with a new attribute of the same name, first delete the existing one with H5Object::removeAttr, then recreate it with this function.
