> Generic applications often need to write a value to represent undefined or missing values. The fill value provides an appropriate value for this purpose because it is normally outside the valid range and therefore treated as missing when read by generic applications. It is legal (but not recommended) for the fill value to be within the valid range.

> The type of this attribute is NC_INT.
> This attribute is computed by using the HDF5 API to walk the file to look for attributes specific to netcdf-4. False negatives are possible for a small subset of netcdf-4 files, especially those not containing dimensions. False positives are only possible by deliberate modifications to an existing HDF5 file thru the HDF5 API. For files with the _NCProperties attribute, this attribute is redundant. For files created prior to the introduction of the _NCProperties attribute, this may be a useful indicator of the provenance of the file.
