[netCDF #GEL-528490]: Conversion of multiple .cdl files to multiple .nc files using ncgen

Hello,

ncgen does not accept multiple files; it takes one file in, and generates one 
file at a time.  You might be able to create a shell script that will take all 
the .cdl files in a directory, parse the filename from the input file, and pass 
it to ncgen to create a binary netcdf file.  Beyond that, I'm afraid the only 
solution I can think of is to invoke ncgen manually for each file.

Thanks, have a great day!
