netcdf.renameAtt - Change name of attribute
Syntax
netcdf.renameAtt(ncid,varid,oldName,newName)
Description
netcdf.renameAtt(ncid,varid,oldName,newName) changes
the name of the attribute specified by the character string oldName.
newName is a character string that specifies
the new name.
ncid is a netCDF file identifier returned
by netcdf.create or netcdf.open.
varid identifies the variable to which the
attribute is associated. To specify a global attribute, use netcdf.getConstant('NC_GLOBAL') for varid.
This function corresponds to the nc_rename_att 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 modifies a local copy of the example netCDF file
included with MATLAB, example.nc.
% Open netCDF file.
ncid = netcdf.open('my_example.nc','NC_WRITE')
% Get the ID of a variable the attribute is associated with.
varID = netcdf.inqVarID(ncid,'avagadros_number')
% Rename the attribute.
netcdf.renameAtt(ncid,varID,'description','Description');
% Verify that the name changed.
attname = netcdf.inqAttName(ncid,varID,0)
attname =
