String Creation Properties

Detailed Description

Currently, there are only two creation properties that you can use to control the creation of HDF5 attributes and links. The first creation property, the choice of a character encoding, applies to both attributes and links. The second creation property applies to links only, and advises the library to automatically create missing intermediate groups when creating new objects.
