Blocking factor for variable
blockingFactor = cdflib.getVarBlockingFactor(cdfId,varNum)
blockingFactor = cdflib.getVarBlockingFactor(cdfId,varNum)
returns the blocking factor for a variable in a Common Data Format
(CDF) file. A variable's blocking factor specifies
the minimum number of records the library allocates when you write
to an unallocated record.
cdfId identifies the CDF file. varNum is
a numeric value that identifies the variable. Variable numbers are
zero-based.
Open the example CDF and determine the blocking factor of a variable.
cdfid = cdflib.open('example.cdf');
cdflib.getVarBlockingFactor(cdfid,0)
ans =
0

clear cdfidThis function corresponds to the CDF library C API routine CDFgetzVarBlockingFactor.
To use this function, you must be familiar with the CDF C
interface. Read the CDF documentation at the CDF website.
