If no options are specified in invoking ncgen3, the program merely checks the syntax of the CDL input, producing error messages for any violations of CDL syntax. When it begins with '0x', it is interpreted as a hexadecimal constant. All CDL statements are terminated by a semicolon. For example, the following are all acceptable double constants:. The byte type differs from the char type in that it is intended for numeric data, and the zero byte has no special significance, as it may for character data. It operates essentially identically to the original ncgen.

The syntax of an initialization is simple:. Note that the above copy will not be as fast as use of cp or other simple copy utility, because the file is copied using only the netCDF API. The double type is appropriate for representing floating-point data with about 16 significant digits of precision. Libraries may use different internal representations, for example the Java library uses UTF encoding.
From the CDL file foo. Multiple values are assigned to non-character attributes by separating the values with commas ','.

In CDL, an attribute is designated by a variable and attribute name, separated by a colon ': For example, these two CDL specifications of global attributes have different types:. The form of an int constant is an ordinary integer constant.
Multiple CDL strings are concatenated into a single array of characters, permitting long character arrays to appear on multiple lines. All CDL statements are terminated by a semicolon.
A dimension is used to define the shape of one or more of the multidimensional variables described by the CDL description. This represents a potential ambiguity since a multi-character string may also indicate a dimensioned character value. The variable part may contain variable declarations and attribute assignments. For this reason, applications writing data using the enhanced data model are encouraged to use the netCDF-4 string data type in preference to the char data type.
The form of a short constant is an integer constant with an 's' or 'S' ncdumpp.

When it begins with '0x', it is interpreted as a hexadecimal constant. These constants can still be used as integer constants and will be either truncated or extended as necessary.
If fewer values are supplied than are needed to fill a variable, it is extended with the fill value. Also assume that users want quick access to data at all times for a small set of lat-lon points. If no options are specified in invoking ncgen3, the program merely checks the syntax of the CDL input, producing error messages for any violations of CDL syntax. For backward compatibility, in declarations primitive type names may be specified in either upper or lower case.

For netCDF-4 files, groups and user-defined types are also included in ncdump output. Examples of valid int constants include:. Disambiguation usually occurs by context, but care should be taken to specify the string type to ensure the proper choice.
Unsigned integer constants can nncdump created by appending the character 'U' or 'u' between the constant and any trailing size specifier. Case is significant in netCDF names.
So using netcdf on Windows may cause some problems ncrump respect to objects like file paths. The float type can hold values between about A CDL description for a classic model file consists of three optional parts: Without dumping all the data, show the special virtual attributes that indicate performance-related characterisitics of a netCDF-4 file:.

A variable has a name, a data type, and a shape described by its list of dimensions. The ncgen tool is now is capable of producing netcdf-4 files.
Spaces, tabs, and newlines can be used freely for readability. For example, an attempt to copy a netCDF-4 file that uses features of the enhanced model, such as groups or variable-length strings, to any of the other kinds of netCDF formats that use the classic model will result in an error. The netCDF-4 enhanced data model added an unsigned byte ncdupm.
