A file object for NetCDF data.
A netcdf_file object has two standard attributes: dimensions and variables. The values of both are dictionaries, mapping dimension names to their associated lengths and variable names to variables, respectively. Application programs should never modify these dictionaries.
All other attributes correspond to global attributes defined in the NetCDF file. Global file attributes are created by assigning to an attribute of the netcdf_file object.
Parameters : | filename : string or file-like
mode : {‘r’, ‘w’}, optional
mmap : None or bool, optional
version : {1, 2}, optional

Methods
close() | Closes the NetCDF file. |
createDimension(name, length) | Adds a dimension to the Dimension section of the NetCDF data structure. |
createVariable(name, type, dimensions) | Create an empty variable for the netcdf_file object, specifying its data type and the dimensions it uses. |
flush() | Perform a sync-to-disk flush if the netcdf_file object is in write mode. |
sync() | Perform a sync-to-disk flush if the netcdf_file object is in write mode. |
