netcdf.inqVarDeflate - Determine compression settings for NetCDF variable

Syntax

[shuffle,deflate,deflateLevel] = netcdf.inqVarDeflate(ncid,varid)

Description

[shuffle,deflate,deflateLevel] = netcdf.inqVarDeflate(ncid,varid) returns the compression parameters for the NetCDF variable specified by varid in the location specified by ncid.

Input Arguments

ncid

Identifier of a NetCDF file, returned by netcdf.create or netcdf.open, or of a NetCDF group, returned by netcdf.defGrp.

varid

Identifier of NetCDF variable, returned by netcdf.defVar.

Output Arguments

shuffle

Boolean value. true indicates that the shuffle filter is enabled for the specified variable. The shuffle filter can assist with the compression of integer data by changing the byte order in the data stream.

deflate

Boolean value. true indicates that compression is enabled for this variable. The deflateLevel argument specifies the level of compression.

deflateLevel

Scalar value between 0 and 9 specifying the amount of compression, where 0 is no compression and 9 is the most compression

Examples

This example opens the NetCDF sample file and gets information about variable compression.

ncid = netcdf.open('example.nc','NOWRITE');
groupid = netcdf.inqNcid(ncid,'grid1');
varid = netcdf.inqVarID(groupid,'temp');
[shuffle,deflate,deflateLevel] = netcdf.inqVarDeflate(groupid,varid);
netcdf.close(ncid);
