function h5ex_t_arrayatt
%**************************************************************************
%
% This example shows how to read and write array datatypes
% to an attribute. The program first writes integers arrays
% of dimension ADIM0xADIM1 to an attribute with a dataspace
% of DIM0, then closes the file. Next, it reopens the
% file, reads back the data, and outputs it to the screen.
%
% This file is intended for use with HDF5 Library version 1.8
