ncgen [-b] [-c] [-f] [-n] [-o output_file]
input_fileWhere:
-b
-o option is
absent, a default file name will be constructed from the netCDF name
(specified after the netcdf keyword in the input) by appending the
.nc extension. If a file already exists with the
specified name, it will be overwritten.
-c
-f
-o outputfile
-b option. (This option is necessary because
netCDF files cannot be written directly to standard output, since
standard output is not seekable.)
-n
-b option, except creates netCDF file with the
obsolete .cdf extension instead of the .nc
extension, in the absence of an output filename specified by the
-O option. This option is only supported for backward
compatibility.
Examples
foo.cdl:
ncgen foo.cdl
foo.cdl, generate an equivalent binary
netCDF file named x.nc:
ncgen -o x.nc foo.cdl
foo.cdl, generate a C program containing
the netCDF function invocations necessary to create an
equivalent binary netCDF file named x.nc:
ncgen -c -o x.nc foo.cdl
