It's been quite some time since netCDf used MAX_NC_OPEN. Currently, netCDF
allows the OS to take care of this limit, rather than hard coding one.

You could add the following to d2nc.c after #include <netcdf.h>
#define MAX_NC_OPEN `number`
where `number` used to be 32. Here is some C code that will ask your OS for its
maximum value:
sysconf_test.c
/////////////
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main (){
int max_files;
max_files = sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX);
printf("\nsysconf _SC_OPEN_MAX says you can use the following:\n\n");
printf("#define MAX_NC_OPEN %i\n\n", max_files);
return 0;
}
/////////////
gcc sysconf_test.c -o sysconf_test
The output on my system is:
------------
./sysconf_test
sysconf _SC_OPEN_MAX says you can use the following:
#define MAX_NC_OPEN 1024
------------
At the suggestion of Russ Rew, I've CCd Harvey Davies to this email, as he is
the developer of FAN, and this info may help for any future plans to develop
FAN.
Cheers!
