Function Documentation
g2int g2_info (unsigned char * cgrib, g2int * listsec0, g2int * listsec1, g2int * numfields, g2int * numlocal) This subroutine searches through a GRIB2 message and returns the number of gridded fields found in the message and the number (and maximum size) of Local Use Sections. Also various checks are performed to see if the message is a valid GRIB2 message. Parameters cgrib Character pointer to the GRIB2 message. listsec0 pointer to an array containing information decoded from GRIB Indicator Section 0. Must be allocated with >= 3 elements. • listsec0[0] Discipline-GRIB Master Table Number (see Code Table 0.0). • listsec0[1] GRIB Edition Number (currently 2). • listsec0[2] Length of GRIB message. listsec1 Pointer to an array containing information read from GRIB Identification Section 1. Must be allocated with >= 13 elements. • listsec1[0] Id of orginating centre (Common Code Table C-1) • listsec1[1] Id of orginating sub-centre (local table) • listsec1[2] GRIB Master Tables Version Number (Code Table 1.0) • listsec1[3] GRIB Local Tables Version Number • listsec1[4] Significance of Reference Time (Code Table 1.1) • listsec1[5] Reference Time - Year (4 digits) • listsec1[6] Reference Time - Month • listsec1[7] Reference Time - Day • listsec1[8] Reference Time - Hour • listsec1[9] Reference Time - Minute • listsec1[10] Reference Time - Second • listsec1[11] Production status of data (Code Table 1.2) • listsec1[12] Type of processed data (Code Table 1.3) numfields The number of gridded fields found in the GRIB message. That is, the number of occurences of Sections 4 - 7. numlocal The number of Local Use Sections ( Section 2 ) found in the GRIB message. Returns 0 foe success, otherwise: • 1 Beginning characters 'GRIB' not found. • 2 GRIB message is not Edition 2. • 3 Could not find Section 1, where expected. • 4 End string '7777' found, but not where expected. • 5 End string '7777' not found at end of message. • 6 Invalid section number found.
