fbinread

This function is used read in binary files that have been written using an UNFORMATED FORTRAN write.

Synopsis

	function fbinread( 
		filepath[1]:string,
		dimensions[*]:integer,
		datatype[1]:string
	)

Arguments

filepath: Path needed to locate binary file.
dimensions: An array specifying the dimensions of the data to be read.
datatype: A string representing the type of the data being read.

Description

The fbinread function is used to read in binary data. The data must have been written on a machine having the same architecture as the machine on which they were written. If the specified dimensions do not specify a size equal to the total file data size, an error message is generated. Note that there is no way for NCL to determine if the type of file and the datatype parameter represent the same type.
