/** \defgroup datasets NetCDF Files
NetCDF opens datasets as files or remote access URLs.
A netCDF dataset that has not yet been opened can only be referred to
by its dataset name. Once a netCDF dataset is opened, it is referred
to by a netCDF ID, which is a small non-negative integer returned when
you create or open the dataset. A netCDF ID is much like a file
descriptor in C or a logical unit number in FORTRAN. In any single
program, the netCDF IDs of distinct open netCDF datasets are
distinct. A single netCDF dataset may be opened multiple times and
will then have multiple distinct netCDF IDs; however at most one of
the open instances of a single netCDF dataset should permit
writing. When an open netCDF dataset is closed, the ID is no longer
associated with a netCDF dataset.
Functions that deal with the netCDF library include:
- Get version of library.
- Get error message corresponding to a returned error code.
The operations supported on a netCDF dataset as a single object are:
- Create, given dataset name and whether to overwrite or not.
- Open for access, given dataset name and read or write intent.
- Put into define mode, to add dimensions, variables, or attributes.
- Take out of define mode, checking consistency of additions.
- Close, writing to disk if required.
- Inquire about the number of dimensions, number of variables,
number of global attributes, and ID of the unlimited dimension, if
any.
- Synchronize to disk to make sure it is current.
- Set and unset nofill mode for optimized sequential writes.
- After a summary of conventions used in describing the netCDF
interfaces, the rest of this chapter presents a detailed description
of the interfaces for these operations.

/** \ingroup datasets
Create a new netCDF file.
This function creates a new netCDF dataset, returning a netCDF ID that
can subsequently be used to refer to the netCDF dataset in other
netCDF function calls. The new netCDF dataset opened for write access
and placed in define mode, ready for you to add dimensions, variables,
and attributes.
\param path The file name of the new netCDF dataset.
\param cmode The creation mode flag. The following flags are
available: NC_NOCLOBBER (do not overwrite existing file), NC_SHARE
(limit write caching - netcdf classic files onlt), NC_64BIT_OFFSET
(create 64-bit offset file), NC_NETCDF4 (create netCDF-4/HDF5 file),
NC_CLASSIC_MODEL (enforce netCDF classic mode on netCDF-4/HDF5
files), NC_DISKLESS (store data only in memory), NC_MMAP (use MMAP
for NC_DISKLESS), and NC_WRITE.
2012-03-26 09:30:22 +08:00
See discussion below.
2011-07-12 00:04:49 +08:00
\param ncidp Pointer to location where returned netCDF ID is to be
stored.
<h2>The cmode Flag</h2>
The cmode flag is used to control the type of file created, and some
aspects of how it may be used.
Setting NC_NOCLOBBER means you do not want to clobber (overwrite) an
existing dataset; an error (NC_EEXIST) is returned if the specified
dataset already exists.
The NC_SHARE flag is appropriate when one process may be writing the
dataset and one or more other processes reading the dataset
concurrently; it means that dataset accesses are not buffered and
caching is limited. Since the buffering scheme is optimized for
sequential access, programs that do not access data sequentially may
see some performance improvement by setting the NC_SHARE flag. This
flag is ignored for netCDF-4 files.
Setting NC_64BIT_OFFSET causes netCDF to create a 64-bit offset format
file, instead of a netCDF classic format file. The 64-bit offset
format imposes far fewer restrictions on very large (i.e. over 2 GB)
data files. See Large File Support.
A zero value (defined for convenience as NC_CLOBBER) specifies the
default behavior: overwrite any existing dataset with the same file
name and buffer and cache accesses for efficiency. The dataset will be
in netCDF classic format. See NetCDF Classic Format Limitations.
Setting NC_NETCDF4 causes netCDF to create a HDF5/NetCDF-4 file.
Setting NC_CLASSIC_MODEL causes netCDF to enforce the classic data
model in this file. (This only has effect for netCDF-4/HDF5 files, as
classic and 64-bit offset files always use the classic model.) When
used with NC_NETCDF4, this flag ensures that the resulting
netCDF-4/HDF5 file may never contain any new constructs from the
enhanced data model. That is, it cannot contain groups, user defined
types, multiple unlimited dimensions, or new atomic types. The
advantage of this restriction is that such files are guaranteed to
work with existing netCDF software.
2012-03-26 09:30:22 +08:00
Setting NC_DISKLESS causes netCDF to create the file only in memory.
This allows for the use of files that have no long term purpose. Note that
2012-03-26 09:30:22 +08:00
with one exception, the in-memory file is destroyed upon calling
nc_close. If, however, the flag combination (NC_DISKLESS|NC_WRITE)
2012-03-26 09:30:22 +08:00
is used, then at close, the contents of the memory file will be
made persistent in the file path that was specified in the nc_create
call. If NC_DISKLESS is going to be used for creating a large classic file,
it behooves one to use either nc__create or nc_create_mp and specify
2012-04-30 23:58:40 +08:00
an appropriately large value of the initialsz parameter to avoid
to many extensions to the in-memory space for the file.
This flag applies to files in classic format and to file in extended
format (netcdf-4).
Normally, NC_DISKLESS allocates space in the heap for
storing the in-memory file. If, however, the ./configure
flags --enable-mmap is used, and the additional mode flag
NC_MMAP is specified, then the file will be created using
the operating system MMAP facility.
This flag only applies to files in classic format. Extended
format (netcdf-4) files will ignore the NC_MMAP flag.
Using NC_MMAP for nc_create is
only included for completeness vis-a-vis nc_open. The
ability to use MMAP is of limited use for nc_create because
nc_create is going to create the file in memory anyway.
Closing a MMAP'd file will be slightly faster, but not significantly.
Note that nc_create(path,cmode,ncidp) is equivalent to the invocation of
nc__create(path,cmode,NC_SIZEHINT_DEFAULT,NULL,ncidp).

2011-07-12 00:04:49 +08:00
\note When creating a netCDF-4 file HDF5 error reporting is turned
off, if it is on. This doesn't stop the HDF5 error stack from
recording the errors, it simply stops their display to the user
through stderr.
<h1>Examples</h1>
In this example we create a netCDF dataset named foo.nc; we want the
dataset to be created in the current directory only if a dataset with
that name does not already exist:

int ncid;
...
status = nc_create("foo.nc", NC_NOCLOBBER, &ncid);
if (status != NC_NOERR) handle_error(status);
@endcode
In this example we create a netCDF dataset named foo_large.nc. It will
be in the 64-bit offset format.

status = nc_create("foo_large.nc", NC_NOCLOBBER|NC_64BIT_OFFSET, &ncid);
if (status != NC_NOERR) handle_error(status);

In this example we create a netCDF dataset named foo_HDF5.nc. It will
be in the HDF5 format.

if (status != NC_NOERR) handle_error(status);
@endcode
In this example we create a netCDF dataset named
foo_HDF5_classic.nc. It will be in the HDF5 format, but will not allow
the use of any netCDF-4 advanced features. That is, it will conform to
the classic netCDF-3 data model.

In this example we create a in-memory netCDF classic dataset named
diskless.nc whose content will be lost when nc_close() is called.

In this example we create a in-memory netCDF classic dataset named
diskless.nc and specify that it should be made persistent
in a file named diskless.nc when nc_close() is called.

/*!
Create a netCDF file with some extra parameters controlling classic
file cacheing.
Like nc_create(), this function creates a netCDF file.
\param path The file name of the new netCDF dataset.
\param cmode The creation mode flag, the same as in nc_create().
\param initialsz On some systems, and with custom I/O layers, it may
be advantageous to set the size of the output file at creation
time. This parameter sets the initial size of the file at creation
time. This only applies to classic and 64-bit offset files.
The special value NC_SIZEHINT_DEFAULT (which is the value 0),
lets the netcdf library choose a suitable initial size.
\param chunksizehintp A pointer to the chunk size hint,
which controls a space versus time tradeoff, memory
allocated in the netcdf library versus number of system
calls. Because of internal requirements, the value may not
be set to exactly the value requested. The actual value
chosen is returned by reference. Using a NULL pointer or
having the pointer point to the value NC_SIZEHINT_DEFAULT
causes the library to choose a default. How the system
chooses the default depends on the system. On many systems,
the "preferred I/O block size" is available from the stat()
system call, struct stat member st_blksize. If this is
available it is used. Lacking that, twice the system
pagesize is used. Lacking a call to discover the system
pagesize, we just set default bufrsize to 8192. The bufrsize
is a property of a given open netcdf descriptor ncid, it is
not a persistent property of the netcdf dataset. This only
applies to classic and 64-bit offset files.

/**
Open an existing netCDF file.
This function opens an existing netCDF dataset for access. It
determines the underlying file format automatically. Use the same call
to open a netCDF classic, 64-bit offset, or netCDF-4 file.
\param path File name for netCDF dataset to be opened. When DAP
support is enabled, then the path may be an OPeNDAP URL rather than a
file path.
\param mode The mode flag may include NC_WRITE (for read/write
access) and NC_SHARE (see below) and NC_DISKLESS (see below).
2011-07-12 00:04:49 +08:00
\param ncidp Pointer to location where returned netCDF ID is to be
stored.
<h2>Open Mode</h2>
A zero value (or NC_NOWRITE) specifies the default behavior: open the
dataset with read-only access, buffering and caching accesses for
efficiency.
Otherwise, the open mode is NC_WRITE, NC_SHARE, or
NC_WRITE|NC_SHARE. Setting the NC_WRITE flag opens the dataset with
read-write access. ("Writing" means any kind of change to the dataset,
including appending or changing data, adding or renaming dimensions,
variables, and attributes, or deleting attributes.)
The NC_SHARE flag is only used for netCDF classic and 64-bit offset
files. It is appropriate when one process may be writing the dataset
and one or more other processes reading the dataset concurrently; it
means that dataset accesses are not buffered and caching is
limited. Since the buffering scheme is optimized for sequential
access, programs that do not access data sequentially may see some
performance improvement by setting the NC_SHARE flag.
This procedure may also be invoked with the NC_DISKLESS flag
set in the mode argument if the file to be opened is a
classic format file. For nc_open(), this flag applies only
to files in classic format. If the file is of type
NC_NETCDF4, then the NC_DISKLESS flag will be ignored.
If NC_DISKLESS is specified, then the whole file is read completely into
memory. In effect this creates an in-memory cache of the file.
If the mode flag also specifies NC_WRITE, then the in-memory cache
will be re-written to the disk file when nc_close() is called.
For some kinds of manipulations, having the in-memory cache can
speed up file processing. But in simple cases, non-cached
processing may actually be faster than using cached processing.
You will need to experiment to determine if the in-memory caching
is worthwhile for your application.
Normally, NC_DISKLESS allocates space in the heap for
storing the in-memory file. If, however, the ./configure
flags --enable-mmap is used, and the additional mode flag
NC_MMAP is specified, then the file will be opened using
the operating system MMAP facility.
This flag only applies to files in classic format. Extended
format (netcdf-4) files will ignore the NC_MMAP flag.
In most cases, using MMAP provides no advantage
for just NC_DISKLESS. The one case where using MMAP is an
advantage is when a file is to be opened and only a small portion
of its data is to be read and/or written.
In this scenario, MMAP will cause only the accessed data to be
retrieved fromn disk. Without MMAP, NC_DISKLESS will read the whole
file into memory on nc_open. Thus, MMAP will provide some performance
improvement in this case.
2011-07-12 00:04:49 +08:00
It is not necessary to pass any information about the format of the
file being opened. The file type will be detected automatically by the
netCDF library.
If a the path is a DAP URL, then the open mode is read-only.
Setting NC_WRITE will be ignored.
\note When opening a netCDF-4 file HDF5 error reporting is turned off,
if it is on. This doesn't stop the HDF5 error stack from recording the
errors, it simply stops their display to the user through stderr.
nc_open()returns the value NC_NOERR if no errors occurred. Otherwise,
the returned status indicates an error. Possible causes of errors
include:
Note that nc_open(path,cmode,ncidp) is equivalent to the invocation of
nc__open(path,cmode,NC_SIZEHINT_DEFAULT,NULL,ncidp).

Leave define mode with performance tuning

This call may involve copying data under some circumstances. For a
more extensive discussion see File Structure and Performance.
\warning This function exposes internals of the netcdf version 1 file
format. Users should use nc_enddef() in most circumstances. This
function may not be available on future netcdf implementations.
The classic netcdf file format has three sections, the "header"
section, the data section for fixed size variables, and the data
section for variables which have an unlimited dimension (record
variables).
The header begins at the beginning of the file. The index (offset) of
the beginning of the other two sections is contained in the
header. Typically, there is no space between the sections. This causes
copying overhead to accrue if one wishes to change the size of the
sections, as may happen when changing names of things, text attribute
values, adding attributes or adding variables. Also, for buffered i/o,
there may be advantages to aligning sections in certain ways.
The minfree parameters allow one to control costs of future calls to
nc_redef, nc_enddef() by requesting that minfree bytes be available at
the end of the section.
The align parameters allow one to set the alignment of the beginning
of the corresponding sections. The beginning of the section is rounded
up to an index which is a multiple of the align parameter. The flag
value ALIGN_CHUNK tells the library to use the bufrsize (see above) as
the align parameter. It has nothing to do with the chunking
(multidimensional tiling) features of netCDF-4.
The file format requires mod 4 alignment, so the align parameters are
silently rounded up to multiples of 4. The usual call,
\code
nc_enddef(ncid);
\endcode
is equivalent to
\code
nc__enddef(ncid, 0, 4, 0, 4);
\endcode
The file format does not contain a "record size" value, this is
calculated from the sizes of the record variables. This unfortunate
fact prevents us from providing minfree and alignment control of the
"records" in a netcdf file. If you add a variable which has an
unlimited dimension, the third section will always be copied with the
new variable added.

/**
Synchronize an open netcdf dataset to disk
The function nc_sync() offers a way to synchronize the disk copy of a
netCDF dataset with in-memory buffers. There are two reasons you might
want to synchronize after writes:
- To minimize data loss in case of abnormal termination, or
- To make data available to other processes for reading immediately
after it is written. But note that a process that already had the
dataset open for reading would not see the number of records
increase when the writing process calls nc_sync(); to accomplish this,
the reading process must call nc_sync.
This function is backward-compatible with previous versions of the
netCDF library. The intent was to allow sharing of a netCDF dataset
among multiple readers and one writer, by having the writer call
nc_sync() after writing and the readers call nc_sync() before each
read. For a writer, this flushes buffers to disk. For a reader, it
makes sure that the next read will be from disk rather than from
previously cached buffers, so that the reader will see changes made by
the writing process (e.g., the number of records written) without
having to close and reopen the dataset. If you are only accessing a
small amount of data, it can be expensive in computer resources to
always synchronize to disk after every write, since you are giving up
the benefits of buffering.
An easier way to accomplish sharing (and what is now recommended) is
to have the writer and readers open the dataset with the NC_SHARE
flag, and then it will not be necessary to call nc_sync() at
all. However, the nc_sync() function still provides finer granularity
than the NC_SHARE flag, if only a few netCDF accesses need to be
synchronized among processes.
It is important to note that changes to the ancillary data, such as
attribute values, are not propagated automatically by use of the
NC_SHARE flag. Use of the nc_sync() function is still required for this
purpose.
Sharing datasets when the writer enters define mode to change the data
schema requires extra care. In previous releases, after the writer
left define mode, the readers were left looking at an old copy of the
dataset, since the changes were made to a new copy. The only way
readers could see the changes was by closing and reopening the
dataset. Now the changes are made in place, but readers have no
knowledge that their internal tables are now inconsistent with the new
dataset schema. If netCDF datasets are shared across redefinition,
some mechanism external to the netCDF library must be provided that
prevents access by readers during redefinition and causes the readers
to call nc_sync before any subsequent access.
When calling nc_sync(), the netCDF dataset must be in data mode. A
netCDF dataset in define mode is synchronized to disk only when
nc_enddef() is called. A process that is reading a netCDF dataset that
another process is writing may call nc_sync to get updated with the
changes made to the data by the writing process (e.g., the number of
records written), without having to close and reopen the dataset.
Data is automatically synchronized to disk when a netCDF dataset is
closed, or whenever you leave define mode.

/**
Change the fill-value mode to improve write performance.
This function is intended for advanced usage, to optimize writes under
some circumstances described below. The function nc_set_fill() sets the
fill mode for a netCDF dataset open for writing and returns the
current fill mode in a return parameter. The fill mode can be
specified as either ::NC_FILL or ::NC_NOFILL. The default behavior
corresponding to ::NC_FILL is that data is pre-filled with fill values,
that is fill values are written when you create non-record variables
or when you write a value beyond data that has not yet been
written. This makes it possible to detect attempts to read data before
it was written. For more information on the use of fill values see
Fill Values. For information about how to define your own fill values
see Attribute Conventions.
The behavior corresponding to ::NC_NOFILL overrides the default behavior
of prefilling data with fill values. This can be used to enhance
performance, because it avoids the duplicate writes that occur when
the netCDF library writes fill values that are later overwritten with
data.
A value indicating which mode the netCDF dataset was already in is
returned. You can use this value to temporarily change the fill mode
of an open netCDF dataset and then restore it to the previous mode.
After you turn on ::NC_NOFILL mode for an open netCDF dataset, you must
be certain to write valid data in all the positions that will later be
read. Note that nofill mode is only a transient property of a netCDF
dataset open for writing: if you close and reopen the dataset, it will
revert to the default behavior. You can also revert to the default
behavior by calling nc_set_fill() again to explicitly set the fill mode
to ::NC_FILL.
There are three situations where it is advantageous to set nofill
mode:
- Creating and initializing a netCDF dataset. In this case, you should
set nofill mode before calling nc_enddef() and then write completely
all non-record variables and the initial records of all the record
variables you want to initialize.
- Extending an existing record-oriented netCDF dataset. Set nofill
mode after opening the dataset for writing, then append the
additional records to the dataset completely, leaving no intervening
unwritten records.
- Adding new variables that you are going to initialize to an existing
netCDF dataset. Set nofill mode before calling nc_enddef() then write
all the new variables completely.
If the netCDF dataset has an unlimited dimension and the last record
was written while in nofill mode, then the dataset may be shorter than
if nofill mode was not set, but this will be completely transparent if
you access the data only through the netCDF interfaces.
The use of this feature may not be available (or even needed) in
future releases. Programmers are cautioned against heavy reliance upon
this feature.

\ingroup dispatch
Create a file, calling the appropriate dispatch create call.
For create, we have the following pieces of information to use to
determine the dispatch table:
- table specified by override
- path
- cmode
\param path The file name of the new netCDF dataset.
\param cmode The creation mode flag, the same as in nc_create().
\param initialsz This parameter sets the initial size of the file at creation
time. This only applies to classic and 64-bit offset files.
2011-07-12 00:04:49 +08:00
\param basepe Deprecated parameter from the Cray days.
\param chunksizehintp A pointer to the chunk size hint. This only
applies to classic and 64-bit offset files.
\param useparallel Non-zero if parallel I/O is to be used on this
file.
\param mpi_info Pointer to MPI comm and info.
\param ncidp Pointer to location where returned netCDF ID is to be
stored.
\returns ::NC_NOERR No error.
