Detailed Description

Provides Fortran interfaces to the NetCDF C API. This approach is much more straightforward than using the old Fortran 90 NetCDF interface, which was built on top of the Fortran 77 interface, which (finally) was built atop the C interface.

Note

old interface code didn't take advantage of the iso_c_binding types c_size_t or c_prtdiff_t, but rather used pointers (type c_ptr) to pass by reference. This appears to be unneccessary:

Todo

change "type (c_ptr), value" entries to "integer (c_size_t)" or similar, depending on the size of the integer declared in the C code
