\defgroup variables Variables
Variables hold multi-dimensional arrays of data.
Variables for a netCDF dataset are defined when the dataset is
created, while the netCDF dataset is in define mode. Other variables
may be added later by reentering define mode. A netCDF variable has a
name, a type, and a shape, which are specified when it is defined. A
variable may also have values, which are established later in data
mode.
Ordinarily, the name, type, and shape are fixed when the variable is
first defined. The name may be changed, but the type and shape of a
variable cannot be changed. However, a variable defined in terms of
the unlimited dimension can grow without bound in that dimension.
A netCDF variable in an open netCDF dataset is referred to by a small
integer called a variable ID.
Variable IDs reflect the order in which variables were defined within
a netCDF dataset. Variable IDs are 0, 1, 2,..., in the order in which
the variables were defined. A function is available for getting the
variable ID from the variable name and vice-versa.
Attributes (see Attributes) may be associated with a variable to
specify such properties as units.
Operations supported on variables are:
- Create a variable, given its name, data type, and shape.
- Get a variable ID from its name.
- Get a variable's name, data type, shape, and number of attributes
from its ID.
- Put a data value into a variable, given variable ID, indices, and value.
- Put an array of values into a variable, given variable ID, corner
indices, edge lengths, and a block of values.
- Put a subsampled or mapped array-section of values into a variable,
given variable ID, corner indices, edge lengths, stride vector,
index mapping vector, and a block of values.
- Get a data value from a variable, given variable ID and indices.
- Get an array of values from a variable, given variable ID, corner
indices, and edge lengths.
- Get a subsampled or mapped array-section of values from a variable,
given variable ID, corner indices, edge lengths, stride vector, and
index mapping vector.
- Rename a variable.
\section language_types Language Types Corresponding to netCDF
External Data Types
NetCDF supported six atomic data types through version 3.6.0 (char,
byte, short, int, float, and double). Starting with version 4.0, many
new atomic and user defined data types are supported (unsigned int
types, strings, compound types, variable length arrays, enums,
opaque).
The additional data types are only supported in netCDF-4/HDF5
files. To create netCDF-4/HDF5 files, use the HDF5 flag in
nc_create. (see nc_create).
\section classic_types NetCDF-3 Classic and 64-Bit Offset Data Types
NetCDF-3 classic and 64-bit offset files support 6 atomic data types,
and none of the user defined datatype introduced in NetCDF-4.
The following table gives the netCDF-3 external data types and the
corresponding type constants for defining variables in the C
interface:
<table>
<tr><td>Type</td><td>C define</td><td>Bits</td></tr>
<tr><td>byte</td><td>NC_BYTE</td><td>8</td></tr>
<tr><td>char</td><td>NC_CHAR</td><td>8</td></tr>
<tr><td>short</td><td>NC_SHORT</td><td>16</td></tr>
<tr><td>int</td><td>NC_INT</td><td>32</td></tr>
<tr><td>float</td><td>NC_FLOAT</td><td>32</td></tr>
<tr><td>double</td><td>NC_DOUBLE</td><td>64</td></tr>
</table>
The first column gives the netCDF external data type, which is the
same as the CDL data type. The next column gives the corresponding C
pre-processor macro for use in netCDF functions (the pre-processor
macros are defined in the netCDF C header-file netcdf.h). The last
column gives the number of bits used in the external representation of
values of the corresponding type.
\section netcdf_4_atomic NetCDF-4 Atomic Types
NetCDF-4 files support all of the atomic data types from netCDF-3,
plus additional unsigned integer types, 64-bit integer types, and a
string type.
<table>
<tr><td>Type</td><td>C define</td><td>Bits
<tr><td>byte</td><td>NC_BYTE</td><td>8</td></tr>
<tr><td>unsigned byte </td><td>NC_UBYTE^</td><td> 8</td></tr>
<tr><td>char </td><td>NC_CHAR </td><td>8</td></tr>
<tr><td>short </td><td>NC_SHORT </td><td>16</td></tr>
<tr><td>unsigned short </td><td>NC_USHORT^ </td><td>16</td></tr>
<tr><td>int </td><td>NC_INT </td><td>32</td></tr>
<tr><td>unsigned int </td><td>NC_UINT^ </td><td>32</td></tr>
<tr><td>unsigned long long </td><td>NC_UINT64^ </td><td>64</td></tr>
<tr><td>long long </td><td>NC_INT64^ </td><td>64</td></tr>
<tr><td>float </td><td>NC_FLOAT </td><td>32</td></tr>
<tr><td>double </td><td>NC_DOUBLE </td><td>64</td></tr>
<tr><td>char ** </td><td>NC_STRING^ </td><td>string length + 1</td></tr>
</table>
^This type was introduced in netCDF-4, and is not supported in netCDF
classic or 64-bit offset format files, or in netCDF-4 files if they
are created with the NC_CLASSIC_MODEL flags.

/**
@ingroup variables
Define a new variable.
This function adds a new variable to an open netCDF dataset or group.
It returns (as an argument) a variable ID, given the netCDF ID,
the variable name, the variable type, the number of dimensions, and a
list of the dimension IDs.
@param ncid NetCDF or group ID, from a previous call to nc_open(),
nc_create(), nc_def_grp(), or associated inquiry functions such as
nc_inq_ncid().
@param name Variable \ref object_name.
@param xtype \ref data_type of the variable.
@param ndims Number of dimensions for the variable. For example, 2
specifies a matrix, 1 specifies a vector, and 0 means the variable is
a scalar with no dimensions. Must not be negative or greater than the
predefined constant ::NC_MAX_VAR_DIMS. In netCDF-4/HDF5 files, may not
exceed the HDF5 maximum number of dimensions (32).
@param dimidsp Vector of ndims dimension IDs corresponding to the
variable dimensions. For classic model netCDF files, if the ID of the
unlimited dimension is included, it must be first. This argument is
ignored if ndims is 0. For expanded model netCDF4/HDF5 files, there
may be any number of unlimited dimensions, and they may be used in any
element of the dimids array.
@param varidp Pointer to location for the returned variable ID.
@returns ::NC_NOERR No error.
@returns ::NC_EBADID Bad ncid.
@returns ::NC_ENOTINDEFINE Not in define mode.
@returns ::NC_ESTRICTNC3 Attempting netcdf-4 operation on strict nc3 netcdf-4 file.
@returns ::NC_EMAXVARS NC_MAX_VARS exceeded [Not enforced after 4.5.0]
@returns ::NC_EBADTYPE Bad type.
@returns ::NC_EINVAL Invalid input.
@returns ::NC_ENAMEINUSE Name already in use.
@returns ::NC_EPERM Attempt to create object in read-only file.

@ingroup variables
This function changes the name of a netCDF variable in an open netCDF
file or group. You cannot rename a variable to have the name of any existing
variable.
For classic format, 64-bit offset format, and netCDF-4/HDF5 with
classic mode, if the new name is longer than the old name, the netCDF
dataset must be in define mode.
For netCDF-4/HDF5 files, renaming the variable changes the order of
the variables in the file. The renamed variable becomes the last
variable in the file.
@param ncid NetCDF or group ID, from a previous call to nc_open(),
nc_create(), nc_def_grp(), or associated inquiry functions such as
nc_inq_ncid().
@param varid Variable ID
@param name New name of the variable.
@returns ::NC_NOERR No error.
@returns ::NC_EBADID Bad ncid.

In this example from libsrc4/tst_vars.c, a variable is defined, and

setting is correct. Then some data are written to the variable. Since
the data that are written do not cover the full extent of the
variable, the missing values will just be random. If fill value mode
was turned on, the missing values would get the fill value.

/*! Define chunking parameters for a variable
\ingroup variables
The function nc_def_var_chunking sets the chunking parameters for a
variable in a netCDF-4 file. It can set the chunk sizes to get chunked
storage, or it can set the contiguous flag to get contiguous storage.
The total size of a chunk must be less than 4 GiB. That is, the
product of all chunksizes and the size of the data (or the size of
nc_vlen_t for VLEN types) must be less than 4 GiB.
This function may only be called after the variable is defined, but
before nc_enddef is called. Once the chunking parameters are set for a
variable, they cannot be changed.
Note that this does not work for scalar variables. Only non-scalar
variables can have chunking.
\param[in] ncid NetCDF ID, from a previous call to nc_open or
nc_create.
\param[in] varid Variable ID.
\param[in] storage If ::NC_CONTIGUOUS, then contiguous storage is used
for this variable. Variables with one or more unlimited dimensions
cannot use contiguous storage. If contiguous storage is turned on, the
chunksizes parameter is ignored. If ::NC_CHUNKED, then chunked storage
is used for this variable. Chunk sizes may be specified with the
chunksizes parameter or default sizes will be used if that parameter
is NULL.
\param[in] chunksizesp A pointer to an array list of chunk sizes. The
array must have one chunksize for each dimension of the variable. If
::NC_CONTIGUOUS storage is set, then the chunksizes parameter is
ignored.
* @returns ::NC_NOERR No error.
* @returns ::NC_EBADID Bad ID.
* @returns ::NC_ENOTNC4 Not a netCDF-4 file.
* @returns ::NC_ELATEDEF This variable has already been the subject of a
nc_enddef call. In netCDF-4 files nc_enddef will be called
automatically for any data read or write. Once nc_enddef has been
called after the nc_def_var call for a variable, it is impossible to
set the chunking for that variable.
* @returns ::NC_ENOTINDEFINE Not in define mode. This is returned for
netCDF classic or 64-bit offset files, or for netCDF-4 files, when
they wwere created with NC_STRICT_NC3 flag. See \ref nc_create.
* @returns ::NC_EPERM Attempt to create object in read-only file.
* @returns ::NC_EBADCHUNK Retunrs if the chunk size specified for a
variable is larger than the length of the dimensions associated with
variable.
