netcdf.setDefaultFormat - Change default netCDF file format
Syntax
oldFormat = netcdf.setDefaultFormat(newFormat)
Description
oldFormat = netcdf.setDefaultFormat(newFormat) changes
the default format used by netCDF.create when creating
new netCDF files, and returns the value of the old format. You can
use this function to change the format used by a netCDF file without
having to change the creation mode flag used in each call to netCDF.create.
newFormat can be either of the following
values.
| Value | Description |
|---|
| 'NC_FORMAT_CLASSIC' | Original netCDF file format |
| 'NC_FORMAT_64BIT' | 64-bit offset format; relaxes limitations on creating
very large files |
You can also specify the numeric equivalent of these values,
as retrieved by netcdf.getConstant.
This function corresponds to the nc_set_default_format 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.
