5.3 Find a Typeid from Group and Name: NF_INQ_TYPEID
Given a group ID and a type name, find the ID of the type. If the type
is not found in the group, then the parents are searched. If still not
found, the entire file is searched.
Usage
INTEGER FUNCTION NF_INQ_TYPEID(INTEGER NCID, CHARACTER NAME, NF_TYPE TYPEIDP)
NCID- The group id.
NAME- The name of a type.
TYPEIDP- The typeid of the named type (if found).
Errors
NF_NOERR- No error.
NF_EBADID- Bad ncid.
NF_EBADTYPE- Can't find type.
Example
The following example is from nf_test/ftst_types3.F:
C Go to a child group and find the id of our type.
retval = nf_inq_grp_ncid(ncid, group_name, sub_grpid)
if (retval .ne. nf_noerr) call handle_err(retval)
retval = nf_inq_typeid(sub_grpid, type_name, typeid_in)
if (retval .ne. nf_noerr) call handle_err(retval)
