Howdy Chris!
There were some changes in how nc_def_var_chunking worked internally,
but no changes to the API.
Documentation can be found here:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_snapshot/netcdf-c.html#nc_005fdef_005fvar_005fchunking
The function parameter:
int nc_def_var_chunking(int ncid, int varid, int storage, size_t *chunksizesp);
This function can be used to set data to contiguous or chunked storage,
and, if chunked, to provide the chunksizes in each dimension. The
chunksizesp array must be the same size as the dimension array for the
variable in question (ex. 3 chunksizes for a 3D variable). Each
chunksize must be equal or less than the size of the corresponding
dimension.
The total size of the chunk (product of chunksizes * size of type) must
be less than 2 GiB.
Does this help?
Thanks,
Ed
