NCINFO(1)

🦋 NCINFO(1) — the manual, but make it a group chat 🦋

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about ncinfo from the General Commands Manual 💖 this one's a real one.

✨ NAME ✨

ncinfo — a program to print summary information about a netCDF file 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ncinfo [-h] [-g|--group=grp] [-v|--variable=var] [-d|--dimension=dim]
filename

periodt. that's the whole vibe right there 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this manual page documents briefly the ncinfo command, no cap, it says "briefly" right there in the original and we're respecting it 🙈

ncinfo is a program that prints summary information about a netCDF file ✨ that's it, that's the whole job, and it does it iconically.

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-) 🫶 a summary of options is included below, and yes we're doing all of them.

• -h — shows a summary of the available options. it's giving "help me help you" energy, and honestly? slay.
• -g grp, --group=grp — prints information for this group 👑 the default group is the root group. nested groups are specified using posix paths, e.g. group1/group2/group3 — yes bestie, you can go full folder-inception, it's very main character of you 🦋
• -v <variable name>, --variable=<variable name> — prints information for this variable 🍓 just this one, your fave, the chosen one.
• -d <dimension name>, --dimension=<dimension name> — prints information for this dimension 💫 dimensions get their moment too, as they should.

⚠️ and listen — the filename of the netCDF file must be supplied as the last argument. like, last-last. end of the line. the final boss of the command 🫡 don't make it sit somewhere weird, it will simply not eat.
