 NAME
    H5O_attr_decode
 PURPOSE
    Decode a attribute message and return a pointer to a memory struct
        with the decoded information
 USAGE
    void *H5O_attr_decode(f, raw_size, p)

 RETURNS
    Pointer to the new message in native order on success, NULL on failure
 DESCRIPTION
        This function decodes the "raw" disk form of a attribute message
    into a struct in memory native format.  The struct is allocated within this
    function using malloc() and is returned to the caller.
 *
 * Modifications:
 * 	Robb Matzke, 17 Jul 1998
 *	Added padding for alignment.
 *
 * 	Robb Matzke, 20 Jul 1998
 *	Added a version number at the beginning.
 *
 *	Raymond Lu, 8 April 2004
 *	Changed Dataspace operation on H5S_simple_t to H5S_extent_t.
