  DESCRIPTION
         This function interates over the attributes of dataset or group
-    specified with 'loc_id'.  For each attribute of the object, the
-    'op_data' and some additional information (specified below) are passed
-    to the 'op' function.  The iteration begins with the '*attr_number'
+    specified with 'loc_id' & 'obj_name'.  For each attribute of the object,
+    the 'op_data' and some additional information (specified below) are passed
+    to the 'op' function.  The iteration begins with the '*idx'
     object in the group and the next attribute to be processed by the operator
-    is returned in '*attr_number'.
+    is returned in '*idx'.
         The operation receives the ID for the group or dataset being iterated
     over ('loc_id'), the name of the current attribute about the object
-    ('attr_name') and the pointer to the operator data passed in to H5Aiterate
-    ('op_data').  The return values from an operator are:
+    ('attr_name'), the attribute's "info" struct ('ainfo') and the pointer to
+    the operator data passed in to H5Aiterate2 ('op_data').  The return values
+    from an operator are:
         A. Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all
             attributes have been processed.
         B. Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive
