netcdf.open - Open netCDF file

Syntax

ncid = netcdf.open(filename, mode)
[chosen_chunksize, ncid] = netcdf.open(filename, mode, chunksize)

Description

ncid = netcdf.open(filename, mode) opens an existing netCDF file and returns a netCDF ID in ncid. mode describes the type of access to the file and can have any of the following values.

Value Description
'NC_WRITE'Read-write access
'NC_SHARE'Synchronous file updates
'NC_NOWRITE'Read-only access

You can also specify mode as a numeric value that can be retrieved usingnetcdf.getConstant. Use these numeric values when you want to specify a bitwise-OR of several mode.

[chosen_chunksize, ncid] = netcdf.open(filename, mode, chunksize) opens an existing netCDF file, specifying an additional I/O performance tuning parameter, chunksize. The actual value used by the netCDF library might not correspond to the input value you specify.

This function corresponds to the nc_open and nc__open functions 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 example netCDF file included with MATLAB, example.nc.

ncid = netcdf.open('example.nc','NC_NOWRITE');
