This document describes the netCDF C++ API. It applies to netCDF version 4.1.1 release of the software, but the C++ interface still only supports the “classic” data model from the netCDF-3 release. This document was last updated in 6 August 2008.
The netCDF library provides an application- and machine-independent interface to self-describing, array-oriented data. It supports an abstract view of such data as a collection of named variables and their attributes, and provides high-level access to data that is faithful to the abstraction. This on-line document describes the C++ interface to netCDF. This C++ interface is still based on the classic data model supported by netCDF-3 software; it has not yet been updated to the enhanced data model supported by netCDF-4.
