Re: [netcdfgroup] nccopy suggestion

Dear Philippe,

You have just remind me that I had modified the nccopy tool to extend its functionality.

Like your version, it includes the deflating option and 2 more capabilities: shuffling and remove unlimited dimensions

ncconvert [-k n] [-m n] [-d n] [-s] [-u] infile outfile
  [-k n]    kind of netCDF format for output file, default same as input
1 classic, 2 64-bit offset, 3 netCDF-4, 4 netCDF-4 classic model
  [-m n]    size in bytes of copy buffer
  [-d n]    deflate vars (n: deflate level [0-9])
  [-s]      shuffle vars
  [-u]      remove unlimited dims
  infile    name of netCDF input file
  outfile   name for netCDF output file

I have modified the nccopy.c source file from the netcdf-4.1 distribution and rename as nconvert.c. I'm inlcuding also the nciter.c and nciter.h (unmodified from the netcdf-4.1 source distribution) files to compile the tool using your netcdf library.

Regards

Hello,

Our main use of the NetCDF 4 is to compress files and have the hability
to uncompress 'on the fly' while reading variables.
nccopy is a good utility to convert files from one format to another
(any conversion can be done provided we use the 'classic' scheme).

But nccopy cannot compress variable from ones in a netCDF 3 file (since
it has no 'deflate' attribute) which is our main goal for this utility
So I have created nccompress from nccopy which can do this:

     nccompress -d 1 -k 4 Infile.nc Outfile.nc

and all vars are compressed in a NetCDF4/HDF5 file (if -k is for a
classic file or a 64 bits file, -d is ignored).

I give you the patch to apply to nccopy.c if you are interested in this.
Maybe it is not the better way to do this (I have not filtered the no
dimension vars, for example) but it works.

Cheers,
Ph.P.

Compiling as any program base on netCDF-4 library you need to know the compiler 
an linker paramenters of you netCDF-4 installation. For example:
bash-3.2$ nc-config --all

This netCDF 4.1 has been built with the following features: 

  --cc        -> cc
  --cflags    ->  -I/usr/local/include
  --libs      -> -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf -L/usr/local/lib -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5  
-lz -lm 

  --cxx       -> g++
  --has-c++   -> yes

  --fc        -> f77
  --fflags    -> -g -O2 /usr/local/include
  --flibs     -> -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf -L/usr/local/lib -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5  
-lz -lm 
  --has-f77   -> yes
  --has-f90   -> no

  --has-dap   -> no
  --has-nc2   -> yes
  --has-nc4   -> yes
  --has-hdf5  -> yes
  --has-hdf4  -> no
  --has-szlib -> no

  --prefix    -> /usr/local
  --includedir-> /usr/local/include
  --version   -> netCDF 4.1

Then you need the --cflags for compiling and --libs flags and compile
bash-3.2$ gcc -o ncconvert ncconvert.c nciter.c -I/usr/local/include 
-L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf -lhdf5_hl -lhdf5  -lz -lm
or
bash-3.2$ gcc -o ncconvert ncconvert.c nciter.c `nc-config --cflags` `nc-config 
--libs`

for some help just execute:
bash-3.2$ ./ncconvert.exe 
./ncconvert [-k n] [-m n] infile outfile
  [-k n]    kind of netCDF format for output file, default same as input
            1 classic, 2 64-bit offset, 3 netCDF-4, 4 netCDF-4 classic model
  [-m n]    size in bytes of copy buffer
  [-d n]    deflate vars (n: deflate level [0-9])
  [-s]      shuffle vars
  [-u]      remove unlimited dims
  infile    name of netCDF input file
  outfile   name for netCDF output file

The the d,s and u options are only valid for netCDF format (-k 3 or -k 4)
