NAME

cdfuncat − converts a one slice candis file into a multi-slice file

SYNOPSIS

cdfuncat indexfield

DESCRIPTION

Cdfuncat takes a candis float format input file having only one slice and converts it into a multi-slice file by turning each instance of the specified index field into a slice. Static fields (except the index field) are unchanged by the program. Any variable fields that do not depend on the specified index field will be moved into the static slice. A new variable field having only one element is created corresponding to the value of the index field at that location. If the index field does not exist in the file or the file already has more than one slice cdfuncat will complain and die.

EXAMPLES

kestrel% cdfuncat z < cdf_in > cdf_out

This example would take the file cdf_in and split it so that each instance of the index field "z" would become a seperate slice.
