nc_get_option¶

Return Value

prop is the property value or -1 if an error occurred.

Parameters

ssPropName

ssPropName is one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
“nocase”	Boolean value. TRUE (default = 1) indicates that variable and attribute names nc_varid and nc_attget should be treated case-sensitively. FALSE (0) indicates that upper- and lower-case characters should be treated equally.
“umlaut_to_underscore”	Boolean value. If set to 1 umlauts in channel- and attribute names are replaced by an underscore. If set to 0 umlauts are replaced as following: Ä->A, ä->a, Ö->O, ö->o, Ü->U, ü->u, ß->s. Default value is 0. Because of a bug in UniPlot 5.0.0 to 5.4.1 Umlauts were always replaced by an underscore. With the help of this option this behavior can be reset. The option can only be set globally (ncid = -1).
“allow_special_chars”	Boolean value (default = 1). If prop is 1 the following 10 charaters may occur in channel and attribute names: `.`, `-`, `+`, `$`, `#`, `~`, `!`, `^`, `&`, `%`.

Example

print nc_get_option(ncid, "nocase");
