The NCDF_VARINQ function returns a structure that contains information about a NetCDF variable, given its ID. This structure has the form:
{ NAME:"", DATATYPE:"", NDIMS:0L, NATTS:0L, DIM:LONARR(NDIMS) }
This structure is described below.
Examples
See NCDF_VARDEF.
Syntax
Result = NCDF_VARINQ(Cdfid, Varid)
Return Value
The returned structure contains the following tags:
|
Tag |
