You can use High-Level HDF5 APIs to create and write a dataset in one call, but 
you will need to read data to a buffer first. See H5LTmake_dataset* functions 
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/HL/RM_H5LT.html. See also HL Tutorial and 
examples http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/Tutor/h5lite.html.

Please make sure to use h5cc compiler script or link with the HL HDF5 C library 
libhdf5_hl.so(a) that should precede HDF5 C library libhdf5.so(a) on the link 
line.
