/*! NetCDF Error Handling

\addtogroup error NetCDF Error Handling

NetCDF functions return a non-zero status codes on error.

Each netCDF function returns an integer status value. If the returned
status value indicates an error, you may handle it in any way desired,
from printing an associated error message and exiting to ignoring the
error indication and proceeding (not recommended!). For simplicity,
the examples in this guide check the error status and call a separate
function, handle_err(), to handle any errors. One possible definition
of handle_err() can be found within the documentation of
nc_strerror().

The nc_strerror() function is available to convert a returned integer
error status into an error message string.

Occasionally, low-level I/O errors may occur in a layer below the
netCDF library. For example, if a write operation causes you to exceed
disk quotas or to attempt to write to a device that is no longer
available, you may get an error from a layer below the netCDF library,
but the resulting write error will still be reflected in the returned
status value.

/*! Given an error number, return an error message.

This function returns a static reference to an error message string
corresponding to an integer netCDF error status or to a system error
number, presumably returned by a previous call to some other netCDF
function. The error codes are defined in netcdf.h.

\param ncerr1 error number

\returns short string containing error message.

Here is an example of a simple error handling function that uses
nc_strerror() to print the error message corresponding to the netCDF
error status returned from any netCDF function call and then exit:

\code
     #include <netcdf.h>
        ...
     void handle_error(int status) {
     if (status != NC_NOERR) {
        fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", nc_strerror(status));
        exit(-1);
        }
     }
\endcode
