/************************************************************

  This example shows how to read and write variable-length
  datatypes to an attribute.  The program first writes two
  variable-length integer arrays to the attribute then
  closes the file.  Next, it reopens the file, reads back
  the data, and outputs it to the screen.

  This file is intended for use with HDF5 Library version 1.6
