More fixes in collaboration with I.P.
- Adjusted ArcGIS and AgriMetSoft NetCDF-Extractor sections' text and spacing
*Check to see if the spacing for these sections is correct
*Did not address broken links, but should address both broken links and links that re-direct to unintended webpages
More fixes in collaboration with I.P.
* Did not fix spacing for the ArcGIS nor AgriMetSoft sections
* Did not address broken links, but should address both broken links and links that re-direct to unintended webpages
Fixed per I.P.'s work
- Need to ensure proper way to include the u umlaut in line 455
- Didn't address broken link issues
-Left MeteoExplorer's NetCDF uppercased due to library/software reference
-Didn't change Mary Haley's email in the NCL section
-Left nctoolbox's NetCDF-Java

cloud using a variant of the Zarr protocol and storage
format. This enhancement is generically referred to as "NCZarr".
The data model supported by NCZarr is netcdf-4 minus the user-defined
types and the String type. In this sense it is similar to the CDF-5
data model.
More detailed information about enabling and using NCZarr is
described in the document NUG/nczarr.md and in a
[Unidata Developer's blog entry](https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/developer/en/entry/overview-of-zarr-support-in).
WARNING: this code has had limited testing, so do use this version
for production work. Also, performance improvements are ongoing.
Note especially the following platform matrix of successful tests:
Platform | Build System | S3 support
------------------------------------
Linux+gcc | Automake | yes
Linux+gcc | CMake | yes
Visual Studio | CMake | no
Additionally, and as a consequence of the addition of NCZarr,
major changes have been made to the Filter API. NOTE: NCZarr
does not yet support filters, but these changes are enablers for
that support in the future. Note that it is possible
(probable?) that there will be some accidental reversions if the
changes here did not correctly mimic the existing filter testing.
In any case, previously filter ids and parameters were of type
unsigned int. In order to support the more general zarr filter
model, this was all converted to char*. The old HDF5-specific,
unsigned int operations are still supported but they are
wrappers around the new, char* based nc_filterx_XXX functions.
This entailed at least the following changes:
1. Added the files libdispatch/dfilterx.c and include/ncfilter.h
2. Some filterx utilities have been moved to libdispatch/daux.c
3. A new entry, "filter_actions" was added to the NCDispatch table
and the version bumped.
4. An overly complex set of structs was created to support funnelling
all of the filterx operations thru a single dispatch
"filter_actions" entry.
5. Move common code to from libhdf5 to libsrc4 so that it is accessible
to nczarr.
Changes directly related to Zarr:
1. Modified CMakeList.txt and configure.ac to support both C and C++
-- this is in support of S3 support via the awd-sdk libraries.
2. Define a size64_t type to support nczarr.
3. More reworking of libdispatch/dinfermodel.c to
support zarr and to regularize the structure of the fragments
section of a URL.
Changes not directly related to Zarr:
1. Make client-side filter registration be conditional, with default off.
2. Hack include/nc4internal.h to make some flags added by Ed be unique:
e.g. NC_CREAT, NC_INDEF, etc.
3. cleanup include/nchttp.h and libdispatch/dhttp.c.
4. Misc. changes to support compiling under Visual Studio including:
* Better testing under windows for dirent.h and opendir and closedir.
5. Misc. changes to the oc2 code to support various libcurl CURLOPT flags
and to centralize error reporting.
6. By default, suppress the vlen tests that have unfixed memory leaks; add option to enable them.
7. Make part of the nc_test/test_byterange.sh test be contingent on remotetest.unidata.ucar.edu being accessible.
Changes Left TO-DO:
1. fix provenance code, it is too HDF5 specific.
I see that there is no way to set CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,
but there is support for CURLOPT_TIMEOUT.
So, accept the line 'HTTP.CONNECTTIMEOUT'
in .rc file to allow user to set CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT.
The CMakeLists.txt actually uses `HDF5_C_LIBRARY` and `HDF5_HL_LIBRARY`
to find non-standard HDF5 installation. This just updates the FAQ with
the correct usage.
* For URL paths, the new approach essentially centralizes all information
in the URL into the "#mode=" fragment key and uses that value
to determine the dispatcher for (most) URLs.
* The new approach has the following steps:
1. canonicalize the path if it is a URL.
2. use the mode= fragment key to determine the dispatcher
3. if dispatcher still not determined, then use the mode flags
argument to nc_open/nc_create to determine the dispatcher.
4. if the path points to something readable, attempt to read the
magic number at the front, and use that to determine the dispatcher.
this case may override all previous cases.
* Misc changes.
1. Update documentation
2. Moved some unit tests from libdispatch to unit_test directory.
3. Fixed use of wrong #ifdef macro in test_filter_reg.c
[I think this may fix an previously reported esupport query].
supercede PR: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1384
Since we have an mmap user, undeprecate it and make sure
it works. Other changes:
* fix test cases to work with make -j
* fix exposed ncgen error.
Priority: Low
re: issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1329
HDF5 has the ability to programmatically define new filters,
as opposed to using HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH env variable.
This PR adds support for that feature.
Not clear how useful this is, though.
See docs/filters.md for details.
re: Issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1365
At some point (4.6.1) we changed the diskless handling of flags
and added a new NC_PERSIST flag. Looks like we did not fix all
occurrences of the old flag set, specifically for 'nccopy -w' command.
Also added some tests (tst_nccopy_w{3,4}.sh) for this situation.
