The section I was thinking of is in the NetCDF Users Guide, rather than the
netCDF C Interface Guide (where I was looking):
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf.html#Type-Conversion
It mentions that text to numeric conversions are not supported, but I think
the C Interface Guide needs to also discuss how the names of functions relate
to C types and netCDF types. No such discussion is needed for the Fortran-90
functions, because they overload the read and write functions to replace all
the various type-specific functions with just two: nf90_put_var() and
nf90_get_var(), with optional arguments for stride, origin, shape, etc.
