#include 'grib2_int.h'
Functions
gtemplate * extpdstemplate (g2int number, g2int *list)

required.
int g2c_get_pds_template (int pds_template_num, int *maplen, int *map, int *needext)
Get PDS template information.

static g2int getpdsindex (g2int number)
This function returns the index of specified Product Definition Template in array templates.
gtemplate * getpdstemplate (g2int number)

Variables
static const struct pdstemplate templatespds [G2C_MAX_PDS_TEMPLATE]
Data for struct for PDS template.
Detailed Description
Functions for GRIB2 Product Definition Templates used in Section 4 - the Product Definition Section
(PDS).
Each Template has three parts:
1. The number of entries in the template (mappdslen).
2. A map of the template (mappds), 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 4.3 as an example).
Note
Array mappds contains the number of octets in which the corresponding template values will be stored.
A negative value in mappds 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 mappds[] 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
mappds.

Function Documentation
gtemplate * extpdstemplate (g2int number, g2int * list)
This subroutine generates the remaining octet map for a given Product 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 in the ext field of the gtemplate struct. This memory must be freed by the
caller.
Parameters
number number of the Product Definition Template 4.NN that is being requested.
list The list of values for each entry in the the Product Definition Template.
Returns
Pointer to the returned template struct. Returns NULL pointer if template not found.

int g2c_get_pds_template (int pds_template_num, int * maplen, int * map, int * needext)
Get PDS template information. The PDS 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_pds_template_extension() to get it.
Parameters
pds_template_num The PDS 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_pds_template_extension (int pds_template_num, int * template, int * extlen, int * ext)
Get pds template extension information.
Parameters
pds_template_num The pds 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.

gtemplate * getpdstemplate (g2int number)
This subroutine returns PDS template information for a specified Product Definition Template. 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 memory for the gtemplate struct, which must be freed by the caller.
Parameters
number the number of the Product Definition Template that is being requested.
Returns
Pointer to the returned template struct. Returns NULL pointer if template not found.
