Re: [netcdf-java] Why is Nc4prototypes missing some Native C functions?

You say NetcdfWriter, but I assume you mean NetcdfFileWriter?

Mostly historical.

calls can cause problems.

I gave up trying to use the netcdf-java library classes such as NetcdfWriter because it kept truncating the value when they exceeded a particular length.

So I decided the easiest way to update attribute values was to just call the Native C functions from java since I already successfully tested the functions from a C application. However, Nc4prototypes is missing some of the Native C functions such as nc_redef, and nc_inq_varid.

Is there a reason that all of the Native C functions aren't included in Nc4prototypes?  Since netcdf-java seems less powerful than those underlying commands it would be nice to have the option of calling any of those functions directory from Java.

I've already created my own copy of Nc4prototypes to include any missing functions but it would be nice if they were just all available out-of-the-box when downloaded.
