netcdf.inqVarFill

Determine values of fill parameters for NetCDF variable

Syntax

[noFillMode,fillValue] = netcdf.inqVarFill(ncid,varid)

Description

[noFillMode,fillValue] = netcdf.inqVarFill(ncid,varid) returns the fill mode and the fill value for the variable varid in the NetCDF-4 file or group specified by ncid.

Input Arguments

`ncid`	Identifier of a NetCDF-4 file, returned by `netcdf.create` or `netcdf.open`, or a NetCDF group, returned by `netcdf.defGrp`.
`varid`	Identifier of NetCDF variable.

Output Arguments

`noFillMode`	Boolean value. `true` indicates that use of the fill values for the variable has been disabled.
`fillValue`	Specifies the value to use in the variable when no other value is specified and use of fill values has been enabled.

Examples

This example opens the NetCDF sample dataset and gets the fill mode and fill value used with a variable.

ncid = netcdf.open('example.nc','NOWRITE');
varid = netcdf.inqVarID(ncid,'temperature');
[noFillMode,fillValue] = netcdf.inqVarFill(ncid,varid);
netcdf.close(ncid);
