Those are separate utility programs that you can use if you want, but
they are not required for using the library. Chapter 10 of the netCDF
User's Guide discusses these utilities:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/f90/Documentation/f90-html-docs/guide10.html#1005300
ncdump reads a netCDF dataset and prints a textual representation of
the information in the dataset.
ncgen reads a textual representation of a netCDF dataset and generates
the corresponding binary netCDF file or a C or FORTRAN program to
create the netCDF dataset.
The output from ncdump is intended to be acceptable as input to ncgen.
Thus ncdump and ncgen can be used as inverses to transform data
representation between binary and text representations.
