nc_set_option¶

Return Value

If ret is -1 an error occurred.

Parameters

ncid: Identifies the netCDF file. If ncid is set to -1 the option is set globally.

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. If set to -1 the global setting for ncid == -1 is used.
“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

nc_set_option(ncid, "nocase", 1);
