 * @author Fangjun Kuang <csukuangfj dot at gmail dot com>
 * @date December 2017
 *
 * @brief It demonstrates how to create HDF5 groups and subgroups.
 *
 * Basic steps:
 *  1. Use hdf::open to create a HDF5 file
 *  2. Use HDF5::hlexists to check if a group exists or not
 *  3. Use HDF5::grcreate to create a group by specifying its name
 *  4. Use hdf::close to close a HDF5 file after modifying it
