APIs built on the netCDF C library, which include C, Fortran, Python and
C++ libraries, have support for OPeNDAP client access. That means
programs built on such APIs can read from an OPeNDAP server that serves
GRIB data. Such programs are DAP clients and by opening with a URL
rather than a local file name, they can access GRIB files, aggregations,
subsets, and other features supported by the Unidata Common Data Model
software.
There are no current plans to provide netCDF C support for directly
accessing local GRIB files.
