\returns ::NC_EBADTYPE Bad type id.
\returns ::NC_ENOTNC4 Not a netCDF-4 file, or classic model enabled.
\returns ::NC_EHDFERR An error was reported by the HDF5 layer.
\returns ::NC_ENAMEINUSE That name is in use.
\returns ::NC_EMAXNAME Name exceeds max length NC_MAX_NAME.
\returns ::NC_EBADNAME Name contains illegal characters.
\returns ::NC_EPERM Attempt to write to a read-only file.
\returns ::NC_ENOTINDEFINE Not in define mode.
