[svn-r22121] Purpose:
update for HDFFV-7523 JPSS: h5dump fails to open an attribute when using the -a option to specify an attribute with a slash in the name
Description:
Added capability for "-a" option to show attributes containing "/"
by using an escape character. For example, for a dataset "/dset"
containing attribute "speed(m/h)", use "h5dump -a "/dset/speed(\/h)"
to show the content of the attribute.
Merged from HDF5 trunk r22052, r22063, r22108
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), Windows (32-LE cmake), Cmake (jam)
