Name: H5Aget_name
Signature:
ssize_t H5Aget_name(hid_t attr_id, size_t buf_size, char *buf )
Purpose:
Gets an attribute name.
Description:
H5Aget_name retrieves the name of an attribute specified by the identifier, attr_id. Up to buf_size characters are stored in buf followed by a \0 string terminator. If the name of the attribute is longer than (buf_size -1), the string terminator is stored in the last position of the buffer to properly terminate the string.
Parameters:
Returns:
Returns the length of the attribute's name, which may be longer than buf_size, if successful. Otherwise returns a negative value.
