General Usage
NetCDF is a self-describing, machine-independent scientific data format. This package consists of libraries for C for reading and manipulating data in this format.
The following environmental variables have been defined:
- $NETCDF_ROOT has been set to the root of the netcdf installation
- $NETCDF_LIBDIR points to the directory containing the libraries
- $NETCDF_INCDIR points to the directory containing the header files
You will probably wish to use these by adding the following flags to your compilation command (e.g. to CFLAGS in your Makefile):
- -I$NETCDF_INCDIR
and the following flags to your link command (e.g. LDFLAGS in your Makefile):
- -L$NETCDF_LIBDIR -Wl,-rpath,$NETCDF_LIBDIR
NOTE: The Fortran and C++ interfaces to NetCDF were split off from the standard NetCDF library years ago. If you intend to use such, you must "module load" the appropriate netcdf-fortran and/or netcdf-cxx modules as well as this module.
