netcdf.inqAttID - Return ID of netCDF attribute
Syntax
attnum = netcdf.inqAttID(ncid,varid,attname)
Description
attnum = netcdf.inqAttID(ncid,varid,attname) retrieves attnum,
the identifier of the attribute specified by the text string attname.
varid specifies the variable the attribute
is associated with.
ncid is a netCDF file identifier returned
by netcdf.create or netcdf.open.
This function corresponds to the nc_inq_attid function
in the netCDF library C API. To use this function, you should be familiar
with the information about netCDF contained in the NetCDF
C Interface Guide for version 3.6.2.
Examples
This example opens the netCDF example file included with MATLAB, example.nc.
% Open the netCDF example file.
ncid = netcdf.open('example.nc','NC_NOWRITE');
% Get the identifier of a variable in the file.
varid = netcdf.inqVarID(ncid,'avagadros_number');
% Retrieve the identifier of the attribute associated with the variable.
attid = netcdf.inqAttID(ncid,varid,'description');
