intn VSisattr(int32 vdata_id)

vdata_id IN:

Vdata identifier returned by VSattach

Purpose

Determines whether a vdata is an attribute.

Return value

Returns TRUE (or 1) if the vdata is an attribute, and FALSE (or 0) otherwise.

Description

VSisattr determines whether the vdata identified by the parameter vdata_id is an attribute.

As attributes are stored by the HDF library as vdatas, a means of testing whether or not a particular vdata is an attribute is needed, and is provided by this routine.
