5.13 Learn About a Field of a Compound Type: nc_inq_compound_field
Get information about one of the fields of a compound type.
Usage
int nc_inq_compound_field(int ncid, nc_type xtype, int fieldid, char *name,
size_t *offsetp, nc_type *field_typeidp, int *ndimsp,
int *dim_sizesp);
ncid- The groupid where this compound type exists.
xtype- The typeid for this compound type, as returned by nc_def_compound, or
nc_inq_var.
fieldid- A zero-based index number specifying a field in the compound type.
name- A pointer which, if non-NULL, will get the name of the field.
offsetp- A pointer which, if non-NULL, will get the offset of the field.
field_typeid- A pointer which, if non-NULL, will get the typeid of the field.
ndimsp- A pointer which, if non-NULL, will get the number of dimensions of the field.
dim_sizesp- A pointer which, if non-NULL, will get the dimension sizes of the field.
Errors
NC_NOERR- No error.
NC_EBADTYPEID- Bad type id.
NC_EHDFERR- An error was reported by the HDF5 layer.
Example
