Since there are no size limitations for large attributes, it might seem tempting to mistake them for dataset stand-ins. This is not the case, for at least two reasons:<ol type="1">
<li>Attributes decorate HDF5 objects, have their own local namespace, and can't be link targets.</li>
<li>Attribute I/O treats the attribute value as atomic, i.e., there is no support for partial I/O. A large attribute will always be read or written in its entirety.</li>
