legacy NetCDF C++ interface - development files

NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is a set of interfaces for array-oriented data access and a freely distributed collection of data access libraries for C, Fortran, C++, Java, and other languages. The netCDF libraries support a machine-independent format for representing scientific data. Together, the interfaces, libraries, and format support the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data.

This version of the netCDF C++ library is provided for backwards compatibility as a separate package. It was developed before key C++ concepts like templates, namespaces, and exceptions were widely supported. It's not recommended for new projects, but it still works. This version of the C++ interface only supports the "classic" data model from the netCDF-3 release.

This package contains headers for the legacy C++ library.
