DESCRIPTION

       ncpdq packs or re-shapes variables in input-file and stores them  in  output-file.   Which  variables  to
       pack/unpack are determined by the packing policy encoded in the pck_plc argument to the -P switch.  Valid
       pck_plc options are all_new, all_xst, xst_new, and upk.  The numeric type of variable to pack or  re-pack
       a  variable  to is determined by the packing map encoded in the pck_map argument to the -M switch.  Valid
       pck_map options are flt_byt, flt_sht, hgh_byt, hgh_sht, and nxt_lsr.

       ncpdq re-shapes variables in input-file by re-ordering  and/or  reversing  dimensions  specified  in  the
       dimension  list.  The dimension list is a comma separated list of dimension names, optionally prefixed by
       negative signs, that follow the -a switch.  To re-order  variables  by  a  subset  of  their  dimensions,
       specify  these  dimensions  in  a  comma-separated  list  following  -a,  e.g., -a lon,lat.  To reverse a
       dimension, prefix its name with a negative sign in the dimension list, e.g., -a  -lat.   Re-ordering  and
       reversal may be performed simultaneously, e.g., -a lon,-lat,time,-lev.

       Users may specify any permutation of dimensions, including permutations which change the record dimension
       identity.  The record dimension is re-ordered like any other dimension.  The record dimension  is  always
       the  most  slowly  varying  dimension  in  a  record variable.  The specified re-ordering will fail if it
       requires creating more than one record dimension amongst all the output variables.

       The  full  documentation  for NCO is maintained as a Texinfo manual called the NCO User's Guide.  Because
       NCO is mathematical in  nature,  the  documentation  includes  TeX-intensive  portions  not  viewable  on
       character-based displays.  Hence the only complete and authoritative versions of the NCO User's Guide are
       the   PDF   (recommended),    DVI,    and    Postscript    versions    at    <http://nco.sf.net/nco.pdf>,

       If the info and NCO programs are properly installed at your site, the command

              info nco

       should give you access to the complete manual, except for the TeX-intensive portions.
