- * \brief Attribute Interface
*
- * \details The Attribute Interface, H5A, provides a mechanism for attaching
- * additional information to a dataset, group, or named datatype.
+ * Use the functions in this module to manage HDF5 attributes.
*
- * Attributes are accessed by opening the object that they are
- * attached to and are not independent objects. Typically an
- * attribute is small in size and contains user metadata about the
- * object that it is attached to.
+ * The Attribute Interface, H5A, provides a mechanism for attaching additional
+ * information to a dataset, group, or named datatype.
*
- * Attributes look similar to HDF5 datasets in that they have a
- * datatype and dataspace. However, they do not support partial
- * I/O operations and cannot be compressed or extended.
