* @file
* Write a file demonstrating some of the features of netCDF-4.
*
* We create two shared dimensions, "x" and "y", in a parent group, and
* some netCDF variables in different subgroups. The variables will
* include a compound and an enum type, as well as some of the new atomic
* types, like the unsigned 64-bit integer.
*
* This is part of the netCDF package. Full documentation of netCDF
* can be found at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs.
