Detailed Description

Create a new netCDF file in Fortran.

Function/Subroutine Documentation

createfile()

integer function piolib_mod::createfile	(	type (iosystem_desc_t), intent(inout), target	iosystem,
		type (file_desc_t), intent(out)	file,
		integer, intent(in)	iotype,
		character(len=*), intent(in)	fname,
		integer, intent(in), optional	amode_in
	)

An integer parameter which controls the iotype.

Create a NetCDF file using PIO. Input parameters are read on comp task 0 and ignored elsewhere.

Parameters

iosystem	A defined PIO system descriptor created by a call to Initialize an IOSystem (see PIO_init)
file	The returned file descriptor
iotype	- PIO_iotype_pnetcdf : parallel read/write of pNetCDF files (netcdf3) PIO_iotype_netcdf : serial read/write of NetCDF files using 'base_node' (netcdf3) PIO_iotype_netcdf4c : parallel read/serial write of NetCDF4 (HDF5) files with data compression PIO_iotype_netcdf4p : parallel read/write of NETCDF4 (HDF5) files
fname	The name of the file to open
amode_in	The NetCDF creation mode flag - NC_NOWRITE for read-only access or NC_WRITE for read-write access.

Return values

ierr	The error return code (see Error Handling for Fortran).
