💅 FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 💅

int main (int argc, char ** argv)

Compare two GRIB2 files. yes it's the whole point of the program, she's doing exactly what she says on the tin. 🎀

Parameters

• argc — number of arguments. (count 'em! 🔢)
• argv — pointer to array of arguments. (pointer to the pointer energy ✨)

Returns

• 0 if files are identical 💖
• 1 otherwise 😭

lowkey important: those are the only two exits. 0 means twin flames, 1 means they're NOT matching, no in-between.
