5.8.3 Learn About a Enum Type: NF_INQ_ENUM
Get information about a user-defined enumeration type.
Usage
INTEGER FUNCTION NF_INQ_ENUM(INTEGER NCID, INTEGER XTYPE,
CHARACTER*(*) NAME, INTEGER BASE_NF_TYPE, INTEGER BASE_SIZE,
INTEGER NUM_MEMBERS)
NCID- The group ID of the group which holds the enum type.
XTYPE- The typeid for this enum type, as returned by NF_DEF_ENUM, or
NF_INQ_VAR.
NAME- Character array which will get the name. It will have a maximum length
of NF_MAX_NAME.
BASE_NF_TYPE- An integer which will get the base integer type of this enum.
BASE_SIZE- An integer which will get the size (in bytes) of the base integer type
of this enum.
NUM_MEMBERS- An integer which will get the number of members defined for this
enumeration type.
Errors
NF_NOERR- No error.
NF_EBADTYPEID- Bad type id.
NF_EHDFERR- An error was reported by the HDF5 layer.
Example
In this example from nf_test/ftst_vars3.F, an enum type is created and
then examined:
retval = nf_inq_enum(ncid, typeids(1), type_name, base_type,
& base_size, num_members)
if (retval .ne. nf_noerr) call handle_err(retval)
if (base_type .ne. NF_INT .or. num_members .ne. 2) stop 2
