✨ pnetcdf_version(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the PnetCDF utilities</pnetcdf> corner of the manual 💅 this one lives in the PnetCDF utilities manual and it's genuinely the easiest glow-up in the whole toolbox — it just tells you what you're working with.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pnetcdf_version — prints the version info of the PnetCDF library. that's it. that's the job. and she does it flawlessly 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pnetcdf_version [-v] [-d] [-c] [-b] [-l] [-h]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so pnetcdf_version prints out the version information of the PnetCDF library, plus the configure command line that was used to build that library. iykyk, build forensics are lowkey essential when something's acting up 👑

and here's the vibe: if you give it no argument at all, it prints all the information. everything. the whole feed. no cap.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -v — the version number of this PnetCDF release. iconic, short, to the point.
  • -d — the release date.
  • -c — the configure command-line arguments used to build this PnetCDF.
  • -b — the MPI compilers used to build this PnetCDF library. this is the one you want when you're like "wait, which compiler??" 😭
  • -l — the LMOD PrgEnv module loaded, if it's available.
  • -h — prints the available command-line options of pnetcdf_version. a little help menu, a little self-care 🎀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

want literally everything about your PnetCDF library? just run the command with no options. periodt.

% pnetcdf_version

and she gives you this whole gorgeous receipt:
