Information about dataset from dataset region reference

The H5I Identifier interface provides information of the object type as
well as the object name when the appropriate object identifier is
provided as input . I need to know a dataset's name But I only have a
reference to a region within the dataset . I do have any other info
about the dataset Can I get the dataset's name only with the use of the
reference I have . If yes, how can this be achieved ?

Thanks and Regards

  All the normal dataset/object query calls are available on the dataset once it's open (including calling H5Iget_name to retrieve its name). Before you've dereferenced the dataset, you can call H5Rget_name() to retrieve the dataset's name.

Dear Quincey ,
The H5Rget_name function exists in the latest version 1.8.1 . I am
actually using hdf51.6.5 . Is there any means of getting the dataset
name using dataset region reference , in this version of hdf5 .

Regards,
Ramakrishnan

  Ah, sorry, that routine was new in the 1.8.x release branch. Could you switch to using the 1.8.x releases? (Possibly with the API compability feature)
