gridtemplates.c — Returns grid template information for a specified Grid Definition Template for Section 3 - the Grid Definition Section (GDS).

okay bestie so real quick — this whole page lives in the Library Functions Manual, and it's literally the cheat sheet for every grid template lookup in NCEPLIBS-g2c. no cap. let's get into it 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include 'grib2_int.h'

🧚 Functions

  • gtemplate * extgridtemplate (g2int number, g2int *template) — This subroutine generates the remaining octet map for a given Grid Definition Template, if required.
  • int g2c_get_gdt_len (int grid_template_num, int *maplen) — Get initial length (number of entries) in static part of Grid Definition Template.

👑 Variables

  • static const struct gridtemplate templatesgrid [G2C_MAX_GDS_TEMPLATE] — Templates grid.

💫 Detailed Description 💫

Returns grid template information for a specified Grid Definition Template for Section 3 - the Grid Definition Section (GDS).

Every single Template has three parts, and yes you need all three:

  1. The number of entries in the template (mapgridlen).
  2. A map of the template (mapgrid), which contains the number of octets in which to pack each of the template values.
  3. A logical value (needext) that indicates whether the Template needs to be extended.

In some cases the number of entries in a template can vary depending upon values specified in the "static" part of the template. (See Template 3.120 as an example).

Note 🚨 Array mapgrid contains the number of octets in which the corresponding template values will be stored. A negative value in mapgrid is used to indicate that the corresponding template entry can contain negative values. This information is used later when packing (or unpacking) the template data values. Negative data values in GRIB are stored with the left most bit set to one, and a negative number of octets value in mapgrid indicates that this possibility should be considered. The number of octets used to store the data value in this case would be the absolute value of the negative value in mapgrid. read it twice bestie, it matters 💅

💜 gtemplate * extgridtemplate (g2int number, g2int * template)

This subroutine generates the remaining octet map for a given Grid Definition Template, if required. Some Templates can vary depending on data values given in an earlier part of the Template, and it is necessary to know some of the earlier entry values to generate the full octet map of the Template.

This function allocates memory for the extension. The pointer ext in the gtemplate struct must be freed to prevent memory leaks. fr fr, free it or leak it 🫶

Parameters

  • number — The number of the Grid Definition Template that is being requested.
  • template — The grid definition template array.

Returns

Pointer to the returned template struct. Returns NULL pointer, if template not found.

🦋 int g2c_get_gdt_len (int grid_template_num, int * maplen)

Get initial length (number of entries) in static part of Grid Definition Template.

Parameters

  • grid_template_num — The Grid template number.
  • maplen — Pointer that gets the length of the map. Ignored if NULL.

Returns

  • G2C_NOERROR — No error.
  • G2C_ENOTEMPLATE — Template not found.

🌟 int g2c_get_grid_template (int grid_template_num, int * maplen, int * map, int * needext)

Get grid template information. The grid template consists of a template map, its length, and, for some templates, an extra extension map, and its length. If an extension is needed, use g2c_get_grid_template_extension() to get it.

Parameters

  • grid_template_num — The grid template number.
  • maplen — Pointer that gets the length of the map. Ignored if NULL.
  • map — Pointer that gets the map as an array of int. Memory must be allocated by caller. Ignored if NULL.
  • needext — Pointer that a non-zero value if an extension to this template is needed. Ignored if NULL.

Returns

  • G2C_NOERROR — No error.
  • G2C_ENOTEMPLATE — Template not found.

🌸 int g2c_get_grid_template_extension (int grid_template_num, int * template, int * extlen, int * ext)

Get grid template extension information.

Parameters

  • grid_template_num — The grid template number.
  • template — Pointer to array that contains the template values.
  • extlen — Pointer that gets the length of the extension. Ignored if NULL.
  • ext — Pointer that gets template extension array, if there is one. Memory must be allocated by the caller. Ignored if NULL.

Returns

  • G2C_NOERROR — No error.
  • G2C_EINVAL — Invalid input.
  • G2C_ENOTEMPLATE — Template not found.
  • G2C_ENOMEM — Out of memory.

🎀 g2int getgridindex (g2int number) [static]

This function returns the index of specified Grid Definition Template in array templates for [Section 3 - the Grid Definition Section (GDS)](https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/grib2/grib2_doc/grib2_sect3.shtml).

Parameters

  • number — The number of the Grid Definition Template being requested.

Returns

Index of the Grid Definition Template(GDT) in array templates, if template exists. -1, otherwise.

💖 gtemplate * getgridtemplate (g2int number)

This subroutine returns grid template information for a specified Grid Definition Template for [Section 3 - the Grid Definition Section (GDS)](https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/grib2/grib2_doc/grib2_sect3.shtml). The number of entries in the template is returned along with a map of the number of octets occupied by each entry. Also, a flag is returned to indicate whether the template would need to be extended.

This function allocates storage for the template. The returned pointer must be freed by the caller. 👑 your memory, your responsibility.

Parameters

  • number — The number of the Grid Definition Template that is being requested.

Returns

Pointer to the returned template struct (must be freed by caller). Returns NULL pointer, if template not found.
