NAME

       ncvalidator - validates a classic netCDF file against CDF file formats

SYNOPSIS

       ncvalidator [-x] [-q] [-h] file

DESCRIPTION

       ncvalidator checks a netCDF file whether it conforms the classic CDF file formats.  If the
       input file is a valid NetCDF file, then a message of successful validation is  printed  on
       command-line output, for example, File "testfile.nc" is a valid NetCDF file.  Otherwise, a
       NetCDF error message is printed.

OPTIONS

       -x     Repair null-byte padding in file header.

       -q     Quiet mode - print nothing on the command-line output. When in  quiet  mode,  users
              should check exit status. See below in "EXIT STATUS".

       -h     Print the available command-line options

EXIT STATUS

       An  exit  status  of  0 means no differences were found, and 1 means some differences were
       found.  Note on VMS-based system, the exit status values are reversed.
