alternate for iterationStatusVar of rich:datatable in p:dataTable

[vradhan]

Hi Team,

We are migrating from richfaces to primefaces 6.1. I came across the iterationStatusVar attribute under rich:dataTable which we are using to pass the index of the element to a method in managed bean which will delete data like this.

<rich:dataTable id="table1" var"=list" value="#{managedBean.participantList}"
iterationStatusVar="it" ... />

<a4j:commandLink id="delete" execute="@this"

action="#{managedBean.removeParticipant(it.index)}"/>

I need alternative of that in p:dataTable.

does 'selection' attribute of p:dataTable work? or do we have any other attribute?
