5.7.2 Learning about a Variable Length Array (VLEN) Type: NF90_INQ_VLEN

Use this type to learn about a vlen.

Usage

       function nf90_inq_vlen(ncid, xtype, name, datum_size, base_nc_type)
         integer, intent(in) :: ncid
         integer, intent(in) :: xtype
         character (len = *), intent(out) :: name
         integer, intent(out) :: datum_size
         integer, intent(out) :: base_nc_type
         integer :: nf90_inq_vlen
NCID
The ncid of the file that contains the VLEN type.
XTYPE
The type of the VLEN to inquire about.
NAME
The name of the VLEN type. The name will be NF90_MAX_NAME characters or less.
DATUM_SIZEP
A pointer to a size_t, this will get the size of one element of this vlen.
BASE_NF90_TYPEP
An integer that will get the type of the VLEN base type. (In other words, what type is this a VLEN of?)

Errors

NF90_NOERR
No error.
NF90_EBADTYPE
Can't find the typeid.
NF90_EBADID
ncid invalid.
NF90_EBADGRPID
Group ID part of ncid was invalid.
