   @defgroup variables Variables

   Variables hold multi-dimensional arrays of data.

   Variables for a netCDF dataset are defined when the dataset is
   created, while the netCDF dataset is in define mode. Other
   variables may be added later by reentering define mode. A netCDF
   variable has a name, a type, and a shape, which are specified when
   it is defined. A variable may also have values, which are
   established later in data mode.

   Ordinarily, the name, type, and shape are fixed when the variable
   is first defined. The name may be changed, but the type and shape
   of a variable cannot be changed. However, a variable defined in
   terms of the unlimited dimension can grow without bound in that
   dimension.

   A netCDF variable in an open netCDF dataset is referred to by a
   small integer called a variable ID.

   Variable IDs reflect the order in which variables were defined
   within a netCDF dataset. Variable IDs are 0, 1, 2,..., in the order
   in which the variables were defined. A function is available for
   getting the variable ID from the variable name and vice-versa.

   @ref attributes may be associated with a variable to specify such
   properties as units.

   Operations supported on variables are:
   - Create a variable, given its name, data type, and shape.
   - Get a variable ID from its name.
   - Get a variable's name, data type, shape, and number of attributes
   from its ID.
   - Put a data value into a variable, given variable ID, indices, and value.
   - Put an array of values into a variable, given variable ID, corner
   indices, edge lengths, and a block of values.
   - Put a subsampled or mapped array-section of values into a variable,
   given variable ID, corner indices, edge lengths, stride vector,
   index mapping vector, and a block of values.
   - Get a data value from a variable, given variable ID and indices.
   - Get an array of values from a variable, given variable ID, corner
   indices, and edge lengths.
   - Get a subsampled or mapped array-section of values from a variable,
   given variable ID, corner indices, edge lengths, stride vector, and
   index mapping vector.
   - Rename a variable.

   @section language_types Data Types

   NetCDF supported six atomic data types through version 3.6.0 (char,
   byte, short, int, float, and double). Starting with version 4.0, many
   new atomic and user defined data types are supported (unsigned int
   types, strings, compound types, variable length arrays, enums,
   opaque).

   The additional data types are only supported in netCDF-4/HDF5
   files. To create netCDF-4/HDF5 files, use the ::NC_NETCDF4 flag in
   nc_create().

   @section classic_types NetCDF-3 Classic and 64-Bit Offset Data Types

   NetCDF-3 classic and 64-bit offset files support 6 atomic data types,
   and none of the user defined datatype introduced in NetCDF-4.

   The following table gives the netCDF-3 external data types and the
   corresponding type constants for defining variables in the C
   interface:

   <table>
   <tr><td>Type</td><td>C define</td><td>Bits</td></tr>
   <tr><td>byte</td><td>::NC_BYTE</td><td>8</td></tr>
   <tr><td>char</td><td>::NC_CHAR</td><td>8</td></tr>
   <tr><td>short</td><td>::NC_SHORT</td><td>16</td></tr>
   <tr><td>int</td><td>::NC_INT</td><td>32</td></tr>
   <tr><td>float</td><td>::NC_FLOAT</td><td>32</td></tr>
   <tr><td>double</td><td>::NC_DOUBLE</td><td>64</td></tr>
   </table>

   The first column gives the netCDF external data type, which is the
   same as the CDL data type. The next column gives the corresponding C
   pre-processor macro for use in netCDF functions (the pre-processor
   macros are defined in the netCDF C header-file netcdf.h). The last
   column gives the number of bits used in the external representation of
   values of the corresponding type.

   @section netcdf_4_atomic NetCDF-4 Atomic Data Types

   NetCDF-4 files support all of the atomic data types from netCDF-3,
   plus additional unsigned integer types, 64-bit integer types, and a
   string type.

   <table>
   <tr><td>Type</td><td>C define</td><td>Bits

   <tr><td>byte</td><td>::NC_BYTE</td><td>8</td></tr>
   <tr><td>unsigned byte </td><td>::NC_UBYTE^</td><td> 8</td></tr>
   <tr><td>char </td><td>::NC_CHAR </td><td>8</td></tr>
   <tr><td>short </td><td>::NC_SHORT </td><td>16</td></tr>
   <tr><td>unsigned short </td><td>::NC_USHORT^ </td><td>16</td></tr>
   <tr><td>int </td><td>::NC_INT </td><td>32</td></tr>
   <tr><td>unsigned int </td><td>::NC_UINT^ </td><td>32</td></tr>
   <tr><td>unsigned long long </td><td>::NC_UINT64^ </td><td>64</td></tr>
   <tr><td>long long </td><td>::NC_INT64^ </td><td>64</td></tr>
   <tr><td>float </td><td>::NC_FLOAT </td><td>32</td></tr>
   <tr><td>double </td><td>::NC_DOUBLE </td><td>64</td></tr>
   <tr><td>char ** </td><td>::NC_STRING^ </td><td>string length + 1</td></tr>
   </table>

   ^This type was introduced in netCDF-4, and is not supported in netCDF
   classic or 64-bit offset format files, or in netCDF-4 files if they
   are created with the ::NC_CLASSIC_MODEL flags.

   Define a new variable.

   This function adds a new variable to an open netCDF dataset or group.
   It returns (as an argument) a variable ID, given the netCDF ID,
   the variable name, the variable type, the number of dimensions, and a
   list of the dimension IDs.

   Set the fill value for a variable.

   @note For netCDF classic, 64-bit offset, and CDF5 formats, it is
   allowed (but not good practice) to set the fill value after data
   have been written to the variable. In this case, unless the
   variable has been completely specified (without gaps in the data),
   any existing filled values will not be recognized as fill values by
   applications reading the data. Best practice is to set the fill
   value after the variable has been defined, but before any data have
   been written to that variable. In NetCDF-4 files, this is enforced
   by the HDF5 library. For netCDF-4 files, an error is returned if
   the user attempts to set the fill value after writing data to the

   be the same type as the variable. This must point to enough free

   leak.

   @section nc_def_var_fill_example Example

   In this example from libsrc4/tst_vars.c, a variable is defined, and
   the fill mode turned off. Then nc_inq_fill() is used to check that
   the setting is correct. Then some data are written to the
   variable. Since the data that are written do not cover the full
   extent of the variable, the missing values will just be random. If
   fill value mode was turned on, the missing values would get the
   fill value.

   Set the zlib compression and shuffle settings for a variable in an
   netCDF/HDF5 file.

   This function must be called after nc_def_var and before nc_enddef
   or any functions which writes data to the file.

   Deflation and shuffle are only available for HDF5 files. Attempting
   to set them on non-HDF5 files will return ::NC_ENOTNC4.

   Deflation and shuffle require chunked data. If this function is
   called on a variable with contiguous data, then the data is changed
   to chunked data, with default chunksizes. Use nc_def_var_chunking()
   to tune performance with user-defined chunksizes.

   If this function is called on a scalar variable, ::NC_EINVAL is
   returned. Only chunked variables may use filters.

   Zlib compression cannot be used with szip compression. If this
   function is called on a variable which already has szip compression
   turned on, ::NC_EINVAL is returned.

   @note Parallel I/O reads work with compressed data. Parallel I/O
   writes work with compressed data in netcdf-c-4.7.4 and later
   releases, using hdf5-1.10.3 and later releases. Using the zlib,
   shuffle (or any other) filter requires that collective access be
   used with the variable. Turning on deflate and/or shuffle for a
   variable in a file opened for parallel I/O will automatically
   switch the access for that variable to collective access.

   @note The HDF5 manual has this to say about shuffle:
   
      The shuffle filter de-interlaces a block of data by reordering
      the bytes. All the bytes from one consistent byte position of
      each data element are placed together in one block; all bytes
      from a second consistent byte position of each data element are
      placed together a second block; etc. For example, given three
      data elements of a 4-byte datatype stored as 012301230123,
      shuffling will re-order data as 000111222333. This can be a
      valuable step in an effective compression algorithm because the
      bytes in each byte position are often closely related to each
      other and putting them together can increase the compression
      ratio.

      As implied above, the primary value of the shuffle filter lies
      in its coordinated use with a compression filter; it does not
      provide data compression when used alone. When the shuffle
      filter is applied to a dataset immediately prior to the use of a
      compression filter, the compression ratio achieved is often
      superior to that achieved by the use of a compression filter
      without the shuffle filter.

  @note The shuffle and deflate flags are ambiguous.

	In most cases, if the shuffle or deflate flag is zero, then it is interpreted
	to mean that shuffle or deflate should not be set. However, if the variable
	already has shuffle or deflate turned on, then it is unclear if a flag
	value of zero means leave the state as it is, or if it means
	that it should be turned off. Since currently no other filters can be
	disabled, it is assumed here that a zero value means to leave the
	state as it is.

   nc_inq_ncid().

/**
   Turn on quantization for a variable.
  
   The data are quantized by setting unneeded bits to zeros or ones
   so that they may compress well. BitGroom sets bits alternately to 1/0, 
   while BitRound and Granular BitRound (GBR) round (more) bits to zeros
   Quantization is lossy (data are irretrievably altered), and it 
   improves the compression ratio provided by a subsequent lossless 
   compression filter. Quantization alone will not reduce the data size.
   Lossless compression like zlib must also be used (see nc_def_var_deflate()).

   Producers of large datasets may find that using quantize with
   compression will result in significant improvement in the final data
   size.

   A notable feature of all the quantization algorithms is data remain 
   in IEEE754 format afterwards. Therefore quantization algorithms do
   nothing when data are read.
  
   Quantization is only available for variables of type NC_FLOAT or
   NC_DOUBLE. Attempts to set quantization for other variable
   types return an error (NC_EINVAL). 

   Variables that use quantize will have added an attribute with name
   NC_QUANTIZE_[ALGORITHM_NAME]_ATT_NAME, which will contain the 
   number of significant digits. Users should not delete or change this
   attribute. This is the only record that quantize has been applied
   to the data.

   Quantization is not applied to values equal to the value of the
   _FillValue attribute, if any. If the _FillValue attribute is not
   set, then quantization is not applied to values matching the
   default fill value.

   Quantization may be applied to scalar variables.

   When type conversion takes place during a write, then it occurs
   before quantization is applied. For example, if nc_put_var_double()
   is called on a variable of type NC_FLOAT, which has quantize
   turned on, then the data are first converted from double to float,
   then quantization is applied to the float values.

   As with the deflate settings, quantize settings may only be
   modified before the first call to nc_enddef(). Once nc_enddef() is
   called for the file, quantize settings for any variable in the file
   may not be changed.
 
   Use of quantization is fully backwards compatible with existing
   versions and packages that can read compressed netCDF data. A
   variable which has been quantized is readable to older versions of
   the netCDF libraries, and to netCDF-Java.
 
   For more information about quantization and the BitGroom filter,
   see @ref quantize.

   @note Users new to quantization should start with Granular Bit
   Round, which results in the best compression. The Bit Groom
   algorithm is not as effective when compressing, but is faster than
   Granular Bit Round. The Bit Round algorithm accepts a number of
   bits to maintain, rather than a number of decimal digits, and is
   provided for users who are already performing some bit-based
   quantization, and wish to turn this task over to the netCDF
   library.

   @param ncid File ID.
   @param varid Variable ID. ::NC_GLOBAL may not be used.

   ::NC_QUANTIZE_BITGROOM or ::NC_QUANTIZE_GRANULARBR or

   of type ::NC_FLOAT) or ::NC_QUANTIZE_MAX_DOUBLE_NSD (for variables 
   of type ::NC_DOUBLE) for mode ::NC_QUANTIZE_BITGROOM and mode

/**
   Define storage and, if chunked storage is used, chunking parameters
   for a variable

   The storage may be set to NC_CONTIGUOUS, NC_COMPACT, or NC_CHUNKED.

   Contiguous storage means the variable is stored as one block of
   data in the file. This is the default storage.

   Compact storage means the variable is stored in the header record
   of the file. This can have large performance benefits on HPC system
   running many processors. Compact storage is only available for
   variables whose data are 64 KB or less. Attempting to turn on
   compact storage for a variable that is too large will result in the
   ::NC_EVARSIZE error.

   Chunked storage means the data are stored as chunks, of
   user-configurable size. Chunked storage is required for variable
   with one or more unlimited dimensions, or variable which use
   compression, or any other filter.

   The total size of a chunk must be less than 4 GiB. That is, the
   product of all chunksizes and the size of the data (or the size of
   nc_vlen_t for VLEN types) must be less than 4 GiB.

   This function may only be called after the variable is defined, but
   before nc_enddef is called. Once the chunking parameters are set for a
   variable, they cannot be changed.

   @note Scalar variables may have a storage of NC_CONTIGUOUS or
   NC_COMPACT. Attempts to set chunking on a scalar variable will
   cause ::NC_EINVAL to be returned. Only non-scalar variables can
   have chunking.

   @param ncid NetCDF ID, from a previous call to nc_open() or
   nc_create().
   @param varid Variable ID.
   @param storage If ::NC_CONTIGUOUS or ::NC_COMPACT, then contiguous
   or compact storage is used for this variable. Variables with one or
   more unlimited dimensions cannot use contiguous or compact
   storage. If contiguous or compact storage is turned on, the
   chunksizes parameter is ignored. If ::NC_CHUNKED, then chunked
   storage is used for this variable. Chunk sizes may be specified
   with the chunksizes parameter or default sizes will be used if that
   parameter is NULL.
   @param chunksizesp A pointer to an array list of chunk sizes. The
   array must have one chunksize for each dimension of the variable. If
   ::NC_CONTIGUOUS storage is set, then the chunksizes parameter is
   ignored. Ignored if NULL.

   @return ::NC_NOERR No error.
   @return ::NC_EBADID Bad ID.
   @return ::NC_ENOTNC4 Not a netCDF-4 file.
   @return ::NC_ELATEDEF This variable has already been the subject of
   a nc_enddef call.  In netCDF-4 files nc_enddef will be called
   automatically for any data read or write. Once nc_enddef has been
   called after the nc_def_var call for a variable, it is impossible
   to set the chunking for that variable.
   @return ::NC_ENOTINDEFINE Not in define mode.  This is returned for
   netCDF classic or 64-bit offset files, or for netCDF-4 files, when
   they were created with ::NC_CLASSIC_MODEL flag by nc_create().
   @return ::NC_EPERM Attempt to create object in read-only file.
   @return ::NC_EBADCHUNK Returns if the chunk size specified for a
   variable is larger than the length of the dimensions associated with
   variable.
   @return ::NC_EVARSIZE Compact storage attempted for variable bigger
   than 64 KB.
   @return ::NC_EINVAL Attempt to set contiguous or compact storage
   for var with one or more unlimited dimensions, or chunking for a
   scalar var.
