Hi Netcdf Folks:
I'm interested in adding a feature to the PDL::NetCDF library in which I
allow users to pass not the file name of a netcdf 3 file to read, but a
buffer containing the contents in memory. Alternatively, fmemopen(3)
could be used on the buffer and the resulting FILE * could be passed in.
I quick look at the netCDF source code shows that it is a bit complicated:
from 'ncopen' (which takes a file name as input) there is a complex path
until the 'fopen' is finally done and a FILE * is obtained.
Has anyone done this? I note that this functionality seems similar,
though not identical to Dr. Heimbigner's NC_DISKLESS mode.
Best Regards,
Doug Hunt
