Class NCdumpW

java.lang.Object

ucar.nc2.NCdumpW

public class NCdumpW
extends java.lang.Object

Print contents of an existing netCDF file, using a Writer.

A difference with ncdump is that the nesting of multidimensional array data is represented by nested brackets, so the output is not legal CDL that can be used as input for ncgen. Also, the default is header only (-h)
