dncdump

dncdump is the OPeNDAP equivalent of the ncdump utility provided by the NetCDF source distribution, and it basically dumps metadata from a netcdf file or OPeNDAP url to standard output of a terminal window. Previous versions (3.4.4 or earlier) would crash when confronted with the UINT16/INT16 issue, but the most recent will correctly display these values, even though their proper type is still not displayed.

Example 4.2. DNCDUMP Example

Execute the following command

/home/jevans/dncdump.sh
					

The result should be similar to what's in Appendix A, DNCDUMP Example Output.
