SYNOPSIS
#include 'grib2_int.h'
Functions

gtemplate * getgridtemplate (g2int number)
This subroutine returns grid template information for a specified Grid Definition Template for
[Section 3 - the Grid Definition Section
(GDS)](https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/grib2/grib2_doc/grib2_sect3.shtml).
Variables
static const struct gridtemplate templatesgrid [G2C_MAX_GDS_TEMPLATE]
Templates grid.
Detailed Description
Returns grid template information for a specified Grid Definition Template for Section 3 - the Grid
Definition Section (GDS).
Each Template has three parts:
1. The number of entries in the template (mapgridlen).
2. A map of the template (mapgrid), which contains the number of octets in which to pack each of the
template values.
3. A logical value (needext) that indicates whether the Template needs to be extended.
In some cases the number of entries in a template can vary depending upon values specified in the
'static' part of the template. (See Template 3.120 as an example).
Note
Array mapgrid contains the number of octets in which the corresponding template values will be
stored. A negative value in mapgrid is used to indicate that the corresponding template entry can
contain negative values. This information is used later when packing (or unpacking) the template data
values. Negative data values in GRIB are stored with the left most bit set to one, and a negative
number of octets value in mapgrid indicates that this possibility should be considered. The number of
octets used to store the data value in this case would be the absolute value of the negative value in
mapgrid.

Function Documentation
gtemplate * extgridtemplate (g2int number, g2int * template)
This subroutine generates the remaining octet map for a given Grid Definition Template, if required. Some
Templates can vary depending on data values given in an earlier part of the Template, and it is necessary
to know some of the earlier entry values to generate the full octet map of the Template.
This function allocates memory for the extension. The pointer ext in the gtemplate struct must be freed
to prevent memory leaks.
Parameters
number The number of the Grid Definition Template that is being requested.
template The grid definition template array.
Returns
Pointer to the returned template struct. Returns NULL pointer, if template not found.

int g2c_get_grid_template (int grid_template_num, int * maplen, int * map, int * needext)
Get grid template information. The grid template consists of a template map, its length, and, for some
templates, an extra extension map, and its length. If an extension is needed, use
g2c_get_grid_template_extension() to get it.
Parameters
grid_template_num The grid template number.
maplen Pointer that gets the length of the map. Ignored if NULL.
map Pointer that gets the map as an array of int. Memory must be allocated by caller. Ignored if
NULL.
needext Pointer that a non-zero value if an extension to this template is needed. Ignored if NULL.
Returns
• G2C_NOERROR No error.
• G2C_ENOTEMPLATE Template not found.

int g2c_get_grid_template_extension (int grid_template_num, int * template, int * extlen, int * ext)
Get grid template extension information.
Parameters
grid_template_num The grid template number.
template Pointer to array that contains the template values.
extlen Pointer that gets the length of the extension. Ignored if NULL.
ext Pointer that gets template extension array, if there is one. Memory must be allocated by the
caller. Ignored if NULL.
Returns
• G2C_NOERROR No error.
• G2C_EINVAL Invalid input.
• G2C_ENOTEMPLATE Template not found.
• G2C_ENOMEM Out of memory.

- the Grid Definition Section
(GDS)](https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/docs/grib2/grib2_doc/grib2_sect3.shtml). The number of entries
in the template is returned along with a map of the number of octets occupied by each entry. Also, a flag
is returned to indicate whether the template would need to be extended.
This function allocates storage for the template. The returned pointer must be freed by the caller.
Parameters
number The number of the Grid Definition Template that is being requested.
Returns
Pointer to the returned template struct (must be freed by caller). Returns NULL pointer, if template
not found.
