Learn the szip settings of a variable.
This function returns the szip settings for a variable. To turn on
szip compression, use nc_def_var_szip(). Szip compression is only
available for netCDF/HDF5 files, and only if HDF5 was built with szip
support.
If a variable is not using szip, or if this function is called on a
file that is not a HDF5 file, then a zero will be passed back for both
options_maskp and pixels_per_blockp.
For more information on HDF5 and szip see
https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5P.html#Property-SetSzip
and https://support.hdfgroup.org/doc_resource/SZIP/index.html.
The nc_def_var_filter function may also be used to set szip
compression.
\param ncid NetCDF or group ID, from a previous call to nc_open(),
nc_create(), nc_def_grp(), or associated inquiry functions such as

\param varid Variable ID
\param options_maskp The szip options mask will be copied to this
pointer. Note that the HDF5 layer adds to the options_mask, so this
value may be different from the value used when setting szip
compression, however the bit set when setting szip compression will
still be set in the options_maskp and can be checked for. If zero is
returned, szip is not in use for this variable.\ref ignored_if_null.
\param pixels_per_blockp The szip pixels per block will be copied
here. The HDF5 layer may change this value, so this may not match the
value passed in when setting szip compression. If zero is returned,
