/************************************************************

  This example shows how to read and write opaque datatypes
  to a dataset.  The program first writes opaque data to a
  dataset with a dataspace of DIM0, then closes the file.
  Next, it reopens the file, reads back the data, and
  outputs it to the screen.

  This file is intended for use with HDF5 Library version 1.8
