3.3.2 Inquiry in Fortran 77

First use NF_INQ, which will tell you how many variables and global attributes there are in the file. Then start with varid 1, and proceed to varid nvars, calling NF_INQ_VAR.

For a typical sequence of calls to these functions see Reading a netCDF Dataset with Unknown Names (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide).

NF_INQ (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide). Find number of dimensions, variables, and global attributes, and the unlimited dimid.


NF_INQ_DIM (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide). Find dimension name and length.


NF_INQ_VARID (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide). Find variable ID from its name.


NF_INQ_VAR (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide). Find variable name, type, num dimensions, dim IDs, and num attributes.


NF_INQ_DIMID (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide). Find dimension ID from its name.


NF_INQ_DIM (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide). Find dimension name and length.


NF_INQ_ATT (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide). Find attribute name, type, and length.


NF_INQ_FORMAT (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide). Find file format: classic or 64-bit offset


NF_INQ_LIBVERS (The NetCDF Fortran 77 Interface Guide). Find the netCDF version. (Currently 4.0).
