💖 NC4TONC3 — the glow-up your netCDF files deserve 💖

okay bestie, so this is a General Commands Manual page for nc4tonc3, and it's about to be your new fave little converter. no cap. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

nc4tonc3 — a program to convert a classic netCDF 4 file to netCDF 3 format 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nc4tonc3 [-h] [-o] [--chunk] netcdf4filename netcdf3filename

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This manual page documents briefly the nc4tonc3 command. yes, briefly, we're keeping it cute and to the point, don't come for me 😭

nc4tonc3 is a program that converts a netCDF 4 file (in NETCDF4_CLASSIC format) to netCDF 3 format. that's it. that's the whole job. and it does it beautifully. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below. slay, standard, iconic, we love to see it 👑

  • -h — shows a summary of the available options. your little "help me bestie" button 🫶
  • -o — overwrite destination file. the default is to raise an error if the output file already exists, so like… no surprise deletions, we're respectful here 🙈
  • --quiet=(0|1) — if set to 1, don't print any diagnostic information. set it to 1 when you want her to be silent and mysterious 🧚
  • --format — choose the netcdf3 format to use. NETCDF3_64BIT is used by default, or it can be set to NETCDF3_CLASSIC. pick your fighter, both are valid 💜
  • --chunk=(integer) — the number of records along unlimited dimension to write at once. the default is 10. it is ignored if there is no unlimited dimension. if chunk=0, this means write all the data at once. lowkey unhinged, highkey efficient 🔥
