Dear hdf community,

I would like to know whether the absence of a "Read / Write Variable Length
String Datatype (Attribute)" is due to a technical problem. The example page [1]
does not provide such an example.

In the context of the H5MD file format [2], we are using (currently) VL string
attributes. If it turns out that we cannot handle those in Fortran, we could
switch to fixed-length strings.

Regards,

Pierre de Buyl
