There was discussion in ncdigest V1 #887 on reserving header space using the double underbar tuning function nc__enddef. I believe there is a need to: 1. Clarify the status of the three double underbar tuning functions nc__create, nc__open and nc__enddef 2. Make clearer recommendations about their use. The NetCDF C Interface Guide contains section 2.10 headed "Leave Define Mode with Performance Tuning: nc__enddef" with URL http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf-c/nc_005f _005fenddef.html#nc_005f_005fenddef This section contains the following warning paragraph: Caution: this function exposes internals of the netcdf version 1 file format. Users should use nc_enddef in most circumstances. This function may not be available on future netcdf implementations. Does this warning apply to all three tuning functions? Are these functions supported by 1. OPeNDAP (DODS) 2. netCDF-4?
