5.20 Find the Sizes of Dimensions in an Array Field: nc_inq_compound_fielddim_sizes

Given the xtype and the fieldid, get the sizes of dimensions for that field. User must have allocated storage for the dim_sizes.

Usage

     int nc_inq_compound_fielddim_sizes(int ncid, nc_type xtype, int fieldid,
                                        int *dim_sizes);
ncid
The file or group ID.
xtype
The typeid for this compound type, as returned by nc_def_compound, or nc_inq_var.
fieldid
The id of the field in the compound type. Fields are numbered starting with 0 for the first inserted field.
dim_sizesp
Pointer to an array of int which will get the sizes of the dimensions of the field. Non-array fields have 0 dimensions.
