5.4 Learn About an User Defined Type: NF90_INQ_USER_TYPE
Given an ncid and a typeid, get the information about a user defined
type. This function will work on any user defined type, whether
compound, opaque, enumeration, or variable length array.
Usage
function nf90_inq_user_type(ncid, xtype, name, size, base_typeid, nfields, class)
integer, intent(in) :: ncid
integer, intent(in) :: xtype
character (len = *), intent(out) :: name
integer, intent(out) :: size
integer, intent(out) :: base_typeid
integer, intent(out) :: nfields
integer, intent(out) :: class
integer :: nf90_inq_user_type
NCID- The ncid for the group containing the user defined type.
XTYPE- The typeid for this type, as returned by NF90_DEF_COMPOUND,
NF90_DEF_OPAQUE, NF90_DEF_ENUM, NF90_DEF_VLEN, or NF90_INQ_VAR.
NAME- The name of the user defined type will be copied here. It
will be NF90_MAX_NAME bytes or less.
SIZE- The size of the user defined type will be copied here.
BASE_NF90_TYPE- The base typeid will be copied here for vlen and enum types.
NFIELDS- The number of fields will be copied here for enum and compound types.
CLASS- The class of the user defined type, NF90_VLEN, NF90_OPAQUE, NF90_ENUM, or
NF90_COMPOUND, will be copied here.
Errors
NF90_NOERR- No error.
NF90_EBADTYPEID- Bad typeid.
NF90_EBADFIELDID- Bad fieldid.
NF90_EHDFERR- An error was reported by the HDF5 layer.
